Stacey Campfield is the worst

And he's single, ladies!

Tennessee State Senator Stacey Campfield was on the radio yesterday doing what he does best: embarrassing Tennesseans and generally offending... well, everyone.

This is what The Worst looks like. Stupid orange tie...

For a quick rundown of what this neanderthal had to say about gay people, AIDS, and the "glorification of homosexuality," read this from The Huffington Post. The full interview is available here.

In between suggesting that children are being coerced into homosexuality and that AIDS is only acquired through gay sex, Senator Campfield attempted to drum up support for his "Don't Say Gay" bill, coming to a Tennessee legislative session near you. Oh yeah, I'm talking about that guy.

All together now: WHAT A DOUCHE.

There isn't any commentary I can contribute that hasn't already been said. Really, the commentary writes itself.

But I will say this: guys like this do not have to be in government. Our state and national discourse does not need to include this kind of filth. We deserve to be represented by people who want the best for Americans -- all of them.

Unfortunately, Senator Campfield isn't up for re-election this year, so we can't kick him out. There are, though, plenty of politicos out there who share his backwards politics, many of them right here in Tennessee! Lucky us!

So get involved. Send money. Volunteer. Talk to your friends and neighbors. And good grief: vote. Decisions are made by those who show up.

Show up, Tennessee.
