Surging Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Kathy Barnette has a history of anti-Muslim and anti-gay statements. In many tweets, Barnette also spread the false conspiracy theory that former President Barack Obama is a Muslim.

In one speech uploaded to YouTube in 2015, Barnette forcefully argued it was OK to discriminate against Muslims and compared rejecting Islam to "... rejecting Hitler's or Stalin's worldviews." In comments on her radio show, she said accepting homosexuality would lead to the accepting of incest and pedophilia. One post she wrote called a transgender person "deformed" and "demonic."

"You are not a racist if you reject Islam, or if you reject Muslims, because they are not a race of people. They are a particular view. They are people that have a particular view of the world, and we have a right to discriminate against worldviews," she said. "We discriminated against Hitler's Nazi Germany view of the world, right? That was a worldview. That's how he saw the world around him. And we discriminated against it. We rejected it. We rejected Stalin's view ... of the world, right? Because that's a particular view of the world that we don't agree with."

OK, we’ve heard your talking points. Repeating them over and over won’t make them believable. We know better.

Yes I feel like I’m being teased.

[Mr. Blond]

Finally, an old-fashioned Republican!

Radical Muslims and homosexuals are contributing to the destruction of America. The good ones among them rarely speak out. Since they have gained political power, America has been rapidly losing freedom.
Barnette has my vote, without qualification.

[TECTopcat]

yes, sadly Dems, lefties are setting up to smear her as the easiest way to win the seat-thats all that matters to them

[jz638]

The seat is currently a GOP seat. If Barnette wins the primary this Tuesday, that's over.

I am more and more getting aligned to that reasoning. I personally am happy with agreeing that Barnette has solid basics, but she's not organized at the US senate level. She is punching above her weight class and she doesn't have the meat to go the distance through November. Where is the evidence she can bring 1,000,000 votes to her talley? A republican winner in the US senate in 2022 needs to gain 1,000,000 votes over what you can get by being a limp dick on the menu on the R side. One million votes. The opposition is going to be a silver-toungued socialist Barnette would likely stand up well to his barbs in a debate, but a debate may sway a few thousand votes, not one million. The organization, the meat of that one million vote difference is really lacking.

Barnette's staff is sufficiently small that they should be responsive to this forum. They need an answer to that million votes they need to gain. They have about 72 hours to make something happen. If not, it's a tossup to Oz or McCormick. Whatever happens, Fetterman is a bigger danger to the commonwealth than either Oz or McCormick, so react accordingly.

Dunno. If we have another Muslim mass murderer because someone said something that offended him, this could be a benefit to her.

[eastexsteve]

They wouldn’t vote Trump because of mean tweets, but they are now paying $7/gallon and 30% more for goods and services and loving it.

If they are like the dems and RINOS in my area, they are ignoring it, in total denial, or blaming it all on Putin and covid.

Not only her military record.

She was asked yesterday when and where she was an “adjunct professor”. What a tough question!
She mumbled some unintelligible name, said it was in Illinois, and didn’t remember what years.

[GulliverSwift]

Republicans gave him the info to take her down. Just like it’s been Republicans leaking against Madison Cawthorn.

Hannity has been trashing her obsessively. They’ve invested too much in the sleazeball Oz. She’s being punished for not waiting her turn.

[Trump20162020]

Why do Republican voters have such an urge to throw away winnable U.S. Senate races? Christine O’Donnell, Todd Akin, Roy Moore...

The only comparable I can think of since 2010 on the Democratic side was Alvin Greene, but that was South Carolina, they weren’t going to win that regardless.

I like it when a politician speaks the truth, islam is a wicked “so called religion”, how soon people forget.

[SaveFerris]

(Obama is not a Muslim or a Christian. His only god is himself.)

That made me think of something. I’m not saying that he’s the guy. But he certainly acts like it; a lot. The actual guy will reveal himself when he confirms the covenant of Peace and Security.

Any state that will elect that creepy dude, “Rachel” Levine really doesn’t care who you vote for.

A couple of CNN fake news creeps sounding off.

What is huge here is the Suburb Women vote. And when they get wind of these remarks by Barnette, she’s done. Those suburb moms will get the vapors and swear off Barnette in a second. Can’t seem like you’re embracing someone with those views. Recall how the suburb moms turned on Trump?

You have it exactly right! You have identified the key to the election.

The suburban women voters have been identified as the major factor in our 2018 and 2020 losses. With nowhere else to go, no record to point to, the Democrats are trying to hold the suburban women around Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with the abortion hysteria. The Democrats themselves understand the importance of this demographic voting block.

Barnett's comments are defensible. Those of us who have decried the insidious but metastasizing influence of The Frankfurt School and its lethal spawn, critical theory and critical race theory, have no difficulty in asserting that Islam is an equally dangerous existential threat because it is an assault on rationalism, a denial of reason, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and, ultimately, the scientific method. Both are cults.

As to the gay community, these comments should be understood in the context of the time especially that context among African-Americans, such as Joy Read, who to this day are outspoken in their dislike of homosexual practice and homosexuals themselves. To say that acceptance of homosexuality has eased the way toward pedophilia is hardly a stretch when one considers what is going on in the schools and the Disney case.

But as defensible as these remarks are, the question is do we want to win a debate or do we want to win a Senate seat? Your arguments to the effect that Barnette will be skewered by the media and defeated in the general election are on point.

I have once posted that the choice between Oz and McCormick seem to be a choice between one whose social values are unacceptable and one whose Chinese connections are unacceptable. As between the two, when forced, I will choose Oz because our existential threat is from China and we must devest ourselves of Chinese control of every American institution.

As one often accused of being a practicing misogynist, I am perhaps not qualified to opine but in my judgment women will swoon over Oz who is telegenic, experienced in the ways of television, knows how to manipulate the medium, and can carry females in the burbs.
