Remember Stan Solomon? Homophobe radio host, formerly at WIBC in Indianapolis? Campaign manager forced to resign from unsuccessful Republican candidate Marvin Scott's Indiana 7th District Congressional Campaign for his homophobic tweets?
Yeah. That's the one.
He's back!
Working "full time" -- apparently on some right wing Internet TV thing.
Fellow "tweeters." This homophobe has a long, filthy history. Here are a couple of his more recent hate tweets.
Never mind the fact that study after study shows that pedophilia tends to be a primarily heterosexual affliction. But those studies were conducted by scientists and as everyone knows, science is Satan's tool to lure us away from God's Holy Word!
Then, there's this one.
AIEEEEE!!!! HOMO ATTACK! EVERYONE INTO THE SHELTERS!!!
But he's right. Richard Cohen's book about praying the gay away is listed on Amazon and is currently the 624,422th most popular book they sell! And would a story filed by LifeSiteNews misstate facts?
So, OK. Solomon's back in the political arena. We'll look at his two new candidates in a moment. He surely wasn't much help to Scott, who only got 37.7% of the vote in the district covering Indianapolis and most of Marion County. Even going all Islamophobe didn't help Scott.
When Scott accepted Solomon's resignation, he feigned ignorance about Solomon's homophobia.
"I have offered an apology, if this offended anyone in the gay community," said Scott. "I want to represent everyone. If I had known what he was doing, I would have fired him long ago."
This is after Scott had known Solomon
as a friend for over 10 years and had actually been
ON THE AIR with Solomon!
So much for history. What about the present? These two candidates Solomon mentions in his homophobic tweets. What about them?
STEVE DAVIS
Former Sheriff's Deputy in Marion County. Former Chief of Police in Southport, Indiana a tiny community of 1,852 people just south of the Indianapolis beltway, where he resigned recently. He calls himself "Chief Steve Davis" in all his literature and he's seeking the same congressional seat Scott was blown out of in 2010. His website's front page lists him as "Republican. Conservative. Constitutionalist." And we all know what the Constitution had to say about homosexuality!
In 2010 he sought the Republican nomination for Marion County Sheriff, losing to Republican Dennis Fishburn who lost to Democrat John Layton.
His website still seems to be under construction. His Twitter account has but one tweet from November.
JESSICA BRADSHAW
Apparently she ran for Congress before. She came in third out of four candidates in the 2010 Republican Primary for the 27th district with 15.7% of the vote. Now, with redistricting in effect, she's running again! This time for the new 34th District. She's been a guest on Solomon's show MANY times.

Well, nobody will be able to claim they don't know about Solomon's homophobia now, as these teabaggers from Texas and Indiana scrape the bottom of the hate barrel for support.
