US Senate candidate says Elton John worthy of death
Merrill Keiser, a Democratic candidate United States Senate from Ohio, believes that homosexuality should be punishable by death. Kaiser’s opposition for the Democratic nomination is US Rep. Sherrod Brown.
Some excerpts from the transcript of the interview:
Host Chad Larson: Elton John, he comes to the state of Ohio, he’s gay and proud,
you want him dead? Should he be killed?
Candidate Merrill Keiser: I
would prefer that he repent
Larson: Obviously, he’s not repenting,
should he be killed?
Keiser:Well he’s worthy of death ...
There's a lot of speculation that he's not even a Democrat ... but rather a plant by the Republicans. The only reason he even ran as a Democrat is because that was what he was previously registered as. He has never held office and every one of his views counter that of the Democratic party:
Candidate says incumbent Republican not advocating biblical values enough
Democrat or not, this man's fringe views will get him shut down. You know you are kook when even the Republican party wouldn't have you.

Maybe Merill should move to Iran... sigh...
I had never heard of the nut. I guess anyone can register as a candidate for any party they want. Does he really believe he is a Democrat? Has he actually read the party platform?
The worst thing that ever happened to the Dems is the abolishment of the "smoke filled room" in faovr of the primary. Running for office has become less about who is the best candidtate and all about PR,image, and airtime. being outrageous gets you airtime. What a brilliant way for the repugs to make Dems look bad.
