West Virginia paper’s anti-LGBT column wants death for ‘n*ggers, spics, kikes and wops’ | The Raw Story

West Virginia paper’s anti-LGBT column wants death for ‘n*ggers, spics, kikes and wops’ | The Raw Story: A newspaper in West Virginia is defending its decision to publish a reader’s racist and homophobic comments, which called for “queers” to be put to death along with “n*ggers, spics, kikes and wops.”

WCHS-TV reported on Wednesday that the Lincoln Journal had come under fire for printing a transcript of a reader’s voice mail comments in the “Gripe and Gratitudes” section of the paper.

The reader referenced a recent report about how the Lincoln County Board of Education had terminated lesbian teacher Kelli Burns from her job at Guyan Valley Middle School teacher after she accused board officials of forcing students to write complaints that she had tried to “turn them gay.”
