Good for you, Jane!

Boot those weirdo purple-headed freaks out on their flamin’ behinds.

You can’t compare disabled people to kids intentionally looking like freaks.

Yeah CENTWISTED! Your White Hood is showing again!

Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum –

Why yes…isn’t the newspaper filled with stories of how conservatives, with their outdated fashion sense, strange combovers, sprayed hair and heavy makeup are always denied access to their elected public officials based on nothing more than appearance?

Apparently there are some “conservatives” who forget that holding an elected public office makes the representative an employee of the people. Perhaps some citizens need to gather in her office, which is owned by the public at the state capitol, and announce that her appearance is repulsive and thus she is unable to represent the interests of her constitutents.

Apparently you can if the only threshold is whether a conservative dominionist has a weak stomach. . ..

Unless the state has a particular dress/appearance code required of all citizens in order for them to access the elected representatives of their government, Campbell has nothing to stand on. . .after all, she wasn’t elected to use the publicly-owned office as her private domain.

Prissy -

Is there a bible verse which dictates that “freaks” with purple hair should be denied admission to the offices of their elected state representatives?

Or is this a new idea from “conservative” America. . .?

If the woman has no better manners than to treat a citizen of her state in such a manner, she should not be holding public office.

Someone who chooses to make their body a sideshow is hardly the same as someone who is disfigured in an accident or whatever. Common - you must be ashamed of yourself by now.

to ACentrist -

Is there something in the Missouri constitution, or in the statutes of this state, which declares that all citizens who do not adhere to this week’s “conservative” fashion decisions are barred from discussions with their elected representatives?

I didn’t think so. Perhaps Representative Campbell should consider charm school before running for public office again.

Sorry, folks … but if you want to be taken seriously, you should present yourself seriously.

If those folks showed up in my office for a job, they would be shown the door. If you don’t have enough respect for yourself or you body than to get it all inked up and poked full of holes because you’re pissed off at the world (presumably because it refuses to give you the favor that you think you so deserve), then why would I take any of your issues seriously?

I don’t care for Cunningham, because I think she’s a know-it-all, but I would have done the same thing.

This isn’t an issue about tolerance. It’s an issue about respect.

Oh how I miss the day when people displayed a little sense of propriety. Why is it that we have to stomach someones freakish appearance (at thier own hands) but they can’t respect the fact that their self-mutilation can be offensive, especially to the older generations.

It’s pathetic for you liberals to associate physical deformities or handicaps of people with the self-mutilation of these counter-culture types.

You go into a legislator’s office to lobby some issue, then put on your best appearance and go state your point. I’ve been thrown out of many legislator’s offices while advocating for a bill because legislators don’t like my view, so grow a backbone. And while your at it, why don’t you check on Miss Langston’s myspace page and see how offensive she can be… As a former legislative staff person, I know exactly how people like her can be when they self-righteously march into your office. Don’t believe there visit was as benign as they make it out to be.

I personally feel, from first hand personal experience, that Jane Cunningham is a moonbat. She is one of the most egotistical, self centered people I have ever met and worked with. She is one of the most dangerous type of people: one who believes they are highly intelligent when in fact that probably are about as bright as a 10w bulb.

All that aside, I have to say I agree with her somewhat in this case. For one, it is her office and she can ask anyone she wants to come in or get out and the only people she has to answer to are her voters. Second, this had nothing to do with these two ladies being gay. It had to do with the fact that they do not have the social skills and tact to make themselves presentable when lobbying a state official on a piece of legislation. Yes, I know freedom allows us all to dress as we please but at the same time that freedom doesn’t grant us immunity from the consequences of purple hair and a face full of metal and holes. As another person said, these ladies just got a dose of what the working world is like when your appearance is beyond the mainstream. Now I am sure some liberal somewhere will pass a bill that will prohibit employers from discriminating against piercings and purple hair. But the fact of the matter is they are children. They act like children, looked like children and were treated like children accordingly.

The generation of kids today have no clue how the real world works. They have no clue that purple hair, tattoos and piercings are no conducive to employement outside of maybe a record store or gas station. They believe that “freedom” is a get out of jail free card. And if they cant get a job or are kicked out of a representatives office for the way they dress and look that someone should change laws or protect them or ban that acitviity. Rather than doing the wise thing and just grow up and realize they look like freaks and will probably end up living off the government because they cant geta job in the future. Lesbian, straight, woman, man, white, black or asian…if you come in looking like a carnival prize then you will never get the respect you need to succeed.
