I'm sure by now everyone has heard about Kristin Lindsey, the veterinarian who shot a neighborhood cat through the head with a bow and arrow and then bragged about it on Facebook. Everyone with at least half a brain knows it was a horrible thing to do. Countless people have spoken out against her horrific actions, including liberals and "the mainstream media."
That's when conservatives HAVE to take the opposite stance. Just like with every other major headline, whatever most sane people agree with, the wacky right wingers feel compelled to be different. (See: George Zimmerman, global warming, Bundy ranch, etc.)
I often head over to The Blaze to read the comment section whenever there's a big or interesting story. It's like studying a strange and foreign species. The hate and stupidity run rampant over there. It's fascinating. So when this cat-killing vet story came along, I decided to see what the "Christian right" had to say about it. I was shocked. It takes a lot for me to be shocked by these nuts because I've seen every sort of vile and ridiculously gullible comments from them. But surely even THEY would be against a veterinarian murdering a cat and then bragging and laughing about it. Nope.
I shouldn't be surprised. Check out the cream of the crop of comments, as voted on by the blaze's wonderful "Christian" readers below the fold
"If she had just had an abortion and was holding up the dead fetus, some of these same people would have been cheering her on." 339 votes
"Who cares, If it was in her yard it is fair game. If the owners have a problem with it they can keep the cat at home or on a leash just like a dog." 259 votes
"Texas is an open range state, if it was on her property so be it, I will be more than glad to use her veterinarian services any time, but would never use the clinic she was fired from if I lived in the area." 143 votes
"Feral cats can be a problem, though the. Cat in the image looks… Cared for.
Weird choice to post it, but if it is within the law, charging her merely because some touchy-feely whiners are complaining is not how this is supposed to work." 107 votes
Of course, there are dissenters. But these are the highest rated comments and there are plenty more. It's not about what's right or wrong. It's not about what makes sense or doesn't make sense. With these people, it's ONLY about wether or not it's the opposite of the evil liberal left.
