God Hates Baby Killers
Neal Horsley is to abortion what Fred Phelps is to “gay abomination.”
Obsessively hoarding pics of mutilated fetuses is something even pro-life advocates question. But “normal” Christians are just tools of the devil, to Neal, as guilty as the actual baby murderers.
Georgia-born Horsley knows Satan’s master plan is to snare unborn babies for his lair. Those who disapprove the method to his madness are character assassins, and part of “the conspiracy.”
Dead baby billboards are not just for abortion clinics anymore. Neal stands outside of restaurants and on street corners to wake up diners and passers by. But posters are only part of Neal’s rescue operation. He rides around the country in a camera-rigged “Holy Roller,” filming doctors and patients at women’s health clinics. Is that your daughter going in for birth control? Your boss committing murder? Women’s safety is no concern to Neal: after all, they’re already born!
The Nuremberg Files
Horsley came under fire a few years back for the “Nuremberg Files” which detailed publicly the names, addresses, phone numbers, license plates, etc. of health workers and pro-choice activists. There were even photos and info about their children, because born children have no right to privacy or right to life! Neal crossed out names where a doctor had been murdered. When the news informed the public of Neal’s agenda, he said it was “yellow journalism” and “hysterical.”
In the Beginning…
Neal was born on a farm in 1944, and maybe that’s where his obsession began: in Esquire, Neal said that while in the womb, his dying dad spoke to him. Dad passed away four months before Neal was born. Neal grew up redneck, joined the Air Force, became a San-Fran hippie, and spent two years in the joint for selling joints. He fancies himself a “counterculture outlaw” who sold dope, “taught” people how to “do” marijuana, impregnated women, and asked two of them to have abortions. He also had — gasp — long hair.
Neal found Jesus in prison, and went to seminary after. Students were shocked when he told them that Christians would be looking “down the barrel of a gun shooting abortionists.” He got involved with extremist pro-lifers, including Paul Hill, who murdered a doctor. Neal also started up The Creator’s Rights Party, and he ran for governor of Georgia. He says nuclear arms would help the south secede from the apostasy of the north.
Doin’ It with Ol’ Bessie
But Neal is more famous for horsing around than for his activism. The guitar-playing-baby-lover who writes lyrics like “the blood of the babies…defiled…that land…” is the same dude who publicly stated that his first girlfriend was a mule. She was warm and moist. Every farm kid screws the livestock, and if we don’t know that, we aren’t living in reality.
Perhaps Neal best consider the fate of those born without fathers. Clearly, the lack of male guidance caused a few problems. No one showed him where to put it.
It may seem easy to dismiss an inbred buffoon with a troubled past as a parody or big joke. Except innocent diners and children are subjected to garish, traumatic images. The videos that he posts online compromise women’s safety and privacy. Health care providers risk their jobs — or lives.
It doesn’t even matter where you stand on abortion, a very emotional issue with complex implications. It’s just a vehicle for what Neal is really all about, the rock star every donkey fucker wants to be when he grows up. “It put me right up there on … a big stage with lots of lights. Rather than shrinking back, I saw it as my opportunity … I’m having a great time. I love it!”

First of all, kudos on the new design. Looks great.
Second of all, yeah this guy’s a loon. How exactly is he a pillar of the faith? I’ve been raised in a Southern Baptist household all my life and I’ve never heard of this guy.
He is popular in some circles. Obviously not yours — which is a good thing for you! ;)
… So wrong… On all levels possible…
Aaaaaand, we’re off!
Wow. What a ginormously insane individual.
Nice change Daniel. The site looks good.
Neal, like Robert T. Lee, also use to visit us from time to time on alt.atheism. Unlike Bobby however, Neal didn’t have the stones to stick around very long. The regulars over there not only handed him his ass, but force fed it to him as well.
Another of the extremist fruit loop crowd is the “Rev” Donald Spitz. (Yes, insert bad pun here____) Another rabid, anti-choice, women have no control over their own bodies, once they’re born I don’t give a crap about them, fundy. Spitz also likes to list doctors and nurses, killed or injured by anti-choice loons and is the person responsible for the group “Army of God” which hit the news a few years ago. He even publishes a “manual” of anti-abortion tactics.
“The regulars over there not only handed him his ass, but force fed it to him as well.”
*LRA likes this*
Dr. Taylor,
You really shouldn’t give Rev. (sic) Spitz’s opinions on the beliefs or behavior of others any more publicity than they already get. He uses his own website to try to make heroes out of murdering terrorists like Paul Hill, Eric Rudolph, John Salvi, and James Kopp. He is so delusional that he thinks that he was ordained by the International Gospel Crusade, a denomination that only exists in his imagination. BTW, the Virginia State Police recently listed Mr. Spitz’s Army of God, as a domestic terrorist organization.
Every farm kid screws the livestock, and if we don’t know that, we aren’t living in reality.
That’s not fair. I was a farm kid, and I did not screw the livestock!
Out of curiosity is thire any truth to the famer getting to KNOW his farm animals thing or is is just an urban myth.
yeah I agree, I grew up on a farm and never had sex with an animal but did giggle when the pigs were making bacon.
You’re obviously not a TRUE farm kid!
I saw my cats making out a few times…does that count?
I guess he went from screwing livestock to screwing the public.
God indeed hates baby killers. He doesn’t like anybody stealing him the fun of doing it himself, as we know from 2nd Samuel chapter 12.
Hahahahahahaha!
Your mythological writings have nothing to do with “knowing” something.
You fail!
You forgot to turn on your sarcasm detector, Mr. Claymore :)
Oh you’re right. My sarcasm detector was low today. Dang it!
All together now:
"But…..He's…..Not….A TRUE CHRISTIAN!"
He’s probably not a True Human, either. ;)
@Markbey
Enlightened farmers will buy the animal a couple of drinks first. But like most human females, animals looking for a loving, attentive, caring, relationship of equals are out of luck.
Well, like most fundy Christian human females, anyway.
I will never understand why it' legal for people like him to put those photos on signs in public.
That would be the first amendmant, the right to free speech.
There are specific exceptions to the right to free speech, which is not the right to say whatever you want, wherever you want, whenever you want. For instance, you do not have the right to falsely yell “FIRE!” in a crowded theater. There are also hate speech exceptions, and others.
First Amendment Exceptions
Categories of exception include defamation, causing panic, “fighting words”, incitement to crime, sedition, obscenity, offense, and establishment of religion.
The first six categories are established exceptions to freedom of speech, the last two are examples of speech that would not cause physical harm, but which some believe justify suppression of free speech.
Hey, I found out how far the rabbit hole goes.
First of all, are you sure sedition is an exception to the first amendment? I mean, obviously the Bush administration certainly seemed to believe so, but I always chalked that up as part of the multiple rampant abuses of the constitution by GWB.
Additionally, and more to the point, I don’t see how photos of mutilated fetuses wouldn’t fall under the “obscenity” category.
…and of course, anything advocating harm or murder of healthcare workers and choice activists has to be incitement to crime…
“First of all, are you sure sedition is an exception to the first amendment?”
It depends on how far the sedition goes. If they catch you plotting the overthrow of the government over the phone, that counts as seditious conspiracy. Despite the fact that you haven’t done anything yet, it’s still a crime. I suspect that the prosecution would have to prove that there was good reason to think that you would and could make the attempt.
For one thing, I was agreeing with you (and disagreeing with Red Dave) that “the right to free speech” does not automatically protect public displays of horrific images. It is a fair question to wonder why that’s legal, but a public display of a photograph of a naked person is illegal.
For another, yeah, sedition is an exception to the first amendment. You can talk about sedition all you want, but you can’t legally recruit for a mission to execute it. You can say you want to overthrow the government, but you can’t say you will. Etc. Note that this is a controversial idea and assessments are made case-by-case and are strongly affected by context. When I say “sedition is an exception to the first amendment”, I mean that sedition has in fact been used by the US Supreme Court as grounds for exceptions to the first amendment; not that all sedition is a just exception.
Citizens of the US and other “Western powers” enjoy vastly more liberties than, say, an Egyptian slave. But not absolute liberty.
Yeah I know what the 1st amendment is. I should have clarified a bit better:
It amazes me that images like that are not considered obscenity. To me, it’s tantamount to protesting porn by showing nude photos on your sign.
These are the same kind of people who love to push censorship under the guise of protecting children, yet have no problem forcing those graphic images on other people’s kids and anyone walking by the sign.
But then there’s the whole slippery slope of what’s obscene and what’s not. Who makes that call, and well just the insane US idea that a photo of a mutilated baby is more tolerable than a naked person.
QFT
Georgia-born Horsley knows Satan’s master plan is to snare unborn babies for his lair.
Where does he get that unborn babies go to hell?
This is the first individual I have ever heard of for whom I think an ad hominem argument is valid.
“Yea, maybe abortion is bad, but you have sex with a donkey.”
oops, mule. my bad
I find it telling that this guy is popular within a certain section of society. The degree of control over other peoples lives some religious people want is fascist. I wonder how he would respond to charges of sexual abuse on the poor mule, who undoubtedly had long term PTSD from this nuts affections. Incidentally, I think the punishment for beastiallity is death in deuterotomy.
I thought of emailing Neal Horselover, but that keeps him all seeeeecret, where his ranting doesn’t get seen by many. (I suppose I could post anything good.)
But as much as he pretends to hate abortion, I wanted to ask him if he’s ever gotten off his ass and helped provide the contraception that prevents the need for them.
I think it’s safe to say he got off his ass at one point or another. Unless she was always faking it.
ZING!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
A co-worker and I emailed him about this, wondering how he would respond.
I wrote:
I wanted a public way to ask you, since you pretend to hate abortions, if you’ve ever gotten off your ass and done something useful, helpful and compassionate toward providing the safe, effective, inexpensive, easily available vasectomies and contraception that prevents the need for abortions?
If you really hated abortions, you’d do something to help people prevention them. Otherwise, you must be merely hateful and punitive.
For people who have sex with people, I mean, to prevent pregnancies. I don’t know if you’re really a Neal Horse-”lover” like some people are saying.
He wrote:
People can prevent abortion by abstaining from illicit sexual intercourse. As governor, I will implement coitus control measures by working for statutes criminalizing illicit sexual intercourse. Thank you for your support. You can mail donations to:
Horsley for Governor
etc. etc.
He is showing his true colors: NO SEX!
Not with people, anyway.
And, since only women get pregnant, he can punish only women.
Some of you live in the south. Can someone this dishonest, and punitive toward having sex, actually get anywhere in Georgia? I was hoping that the stereotypes we discussed in other blogs about the south were going or gone.
As an Oklahoman, I have to admit that people like that make up a majority of successful politicians in this part of the country. Sad, but true.
Here’s an update on Horsley: Secessionist ready to kill own son to dissolve Union
The sad part is, that headline isn’t inaccurate. Apparently, Horsley is estranged from his immediate family because of his extremism. Now he’s running for Governor of Texas, and his goal is to secede. The interviewer wonders if he’s considered the consequences, and ask if he has a son in the military:
“I have a son who was a Sergeant in the Army,” he says.
We ask him if you won the election, and you seceded, what would you do if the United States government sent your son to stop you? Would you be willing to kill your own son? Because that’s what we’re talking about if you start another Civil War — brother against brother. That’s when he relates the following story.
One day, he’s in his room arguing with his son (his family tries to talk him out of his extreme positions), and finally loses it. “He literally attacked me,” Horsley says. “He weighs 220 lbs like a Bulldog and said ‘Don’t say another word!’”
The second time his son slammed him down, when Horsley got up, he had a pocket knife out. “My son looks at me and says, ‘So, it’s life or death, huh?’ and I said, ‘Yeah, life or death son. Don’t come back until you’re ready to apologize to me.’ The point is, I was one foot from killing my own son, or hurting him really, really bad. If he would have attacked me again, I would have stuck him. Or cut him or sliced him or done something to stop him. That’s the point, you hypothetical has literally already been worked out with me, and that’s what makes me different from the other candidates for Governor. They understand I’m not like no politician they have looked at, ever. I am prepared to do a John Brown. I’m not prepared to do an Abe Lincoln and talk out both sides of my mouth and try to get a majority together. I’m looking for the people who are prepared to go with me and take over the foundry, then set up shop and prepare to fight to the death. I’ll do it.”
WTF with him?!!! º0º
Im not american…in fact I live in Chile and I heard about him in the news and I just could not belive it was true!!
JUST WHAT KIND OF INSANE INDIVIDUAL COULD SAY “Yes, I would kill my son if he’s in my way…”!?! HOW CAN SOMEONE PUT A GIANT SIGNS WITH MUTILATES BABIES EVERYWHERE AND AUTHORITIES HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL HE DOES SOMETHING “REALLY DANGEROUS (like threatening a superstar)” TO DO SOMETHING!!!!
I mean, i know some seek people, but this is too much!
He’s against homosexuality, abort…and SEX (at least sex with humans, because, of course, being an homosexual, as well as having sex is horrible, strange, unnatural and against god…but doing it with a mule it’s ok…WTF with his mind ¬¬)
and OH! I almost forgot it HE’S AGAINST DEMOCRACY (“…I’m not prepared to do an Abe Lincoln and talk out both sides of my mouth and try to get a majority together.”) and against PEACE (“I’m looking for the people who are prepared to go with me and take over the foundry, then set up shop and prepare to fight to the death. I’ll do it.”).
I don’t know you guys, but democracy, peace and sex are things with some mistakes of course, but i actually love them all. o.O
PS: I was a farm kid and i cannot remember doing something strange with the livestock O.o….maybe that night…that hangover…ºoº OMG…! jakajka
Post PS: I’m not good in inglish, please forgive my mistakes ú.ù
