NORTH CAROLINA: “Moron Of The Week” Inductee & Anti-Gay Sen. James Forrester Dies At Age 74

Joe.My.God. reports:

Infamously anti-gay North Carolina state [Sen.] James Forrester has died unexpectedly at the age of 74.

 

On Friday, Forrester and family members went to the mountains near Valle Crucis where he suffered a weakness in his legs. They came home and he was admitted to Gaston Memorial Hospital for tests, reports The Charlotte Observer’s Joe DePriest. Beach said family members were by his side and that things “don’t look good.” He died at noon. A former Gaston County commissioner, the Republican lawmaker was first elected to the Senate in 1990. This year, he became deputy Senate leader.

Forrester was a leading proponent of the successful campaign to place on anti-gay marriage amendment on North Carolina’s ballot. Last month he was exposed as having published false medical credentials on his website and in his campaign materials.

It’s for people like him & Rev. Jerry Falwell is why I, as an atheist, regret there’s no hell for ‘hem. 

And from Joe’s blog, here are some of the best comments I’ve found so far:

What is that old saying?  
 
You should only speak good of the dead.  
He’s dead.  
Good.

Moron Of The Week: Senator James Forrester

For being such a liar and such a bigoted person. And for being stupid enough to think he could get away with his bullshit on radio, and worst of all, to think he could fool our Michelangelo Signorile. 

Anti-Gay State Sen. James Forrester BUSTED On Credentials

Joe.My.God. reports:

Yesterday we enjoyed the evisceration of anti-gay NC Sen. James Forrester at the hands of Michelangelo Signorile, who got rather incredulous at Forrester’s lack of HIV knowledge, especially considering that Forrester claims to be a Fellow with the esteemed American College of Preventive Medicine. As it turns out, THAT WAS A FUCKING LIE. 

Pam Spaulding has the delicious dirt via contributor Scott Rose, who got this response from the ACPM:

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The quick answer to your questions is that Dr. Forrester is not, and never has been, a member of ACPM (much less a Fellow, which is our highest designation of membership). However, this is troubling to us, too, that he’s apparently claiming to be a Fellow of ACPM, and we would like to know where Dr. Forrester is making these proclamations so that we can approach him and demand that he cease falsely using ACPM credentials in his campaign or wherever else he’s using it. If you can point us to some places where he’s using those credentials, we’d be most appreciative. Many thanks.

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! We chortle in our joy. We chortle the fuck outta this!
