Jay Townsend, GOP Spokesman: 'Let's Hurl Some Acid At Those Female Democratic Senators'

Source: Huffington Post

A spokesman for Rep. Nan Hayworth (R-N.Y.) is facing criticism after advocating violence against female Democratic senators in a Facebook post.

Jay Townsend, the official campaign spokesman for the freshman representative, went on a vicious online rant on Saturday, which he began by taunting a constituent who voiced criticism about an earlier post on gas prices. "Listen to Tom. What a little bee he has in his bonnet. Buzz Buzz," Townsend wrote.

"My question today... when is Tommy boy going to weigh in on all the Lilly Ledbetter hypocrites who claim to be fighting the War on Women? Let’s hurl some acid at those female democratic Senators who won’t abide the mandates they want to impose on the private sector."

He attached a link to a Free Beacon article that claims female senators pay their male staffers more than their female staffers.

I am ashamed of my country sometimes. Ashamed that anyone would elect a Hayworth (R -Throw Acid In Womans Face. N.Y.) so malignant toward society. One would think the FBI would not be to happy with this line of thought.

but I bet there won't be talk about That (like Hillary Rosen saying Mrs. Romney never worked a day in her life) for freaking days on end.

It sure seems like they are just pushing the line all the time - going further and further into psycho bizarre land.
