"Republican Scott Esk, a candidate for state-house representative in Oklahoma’s 91st district, is about to enjoy his proverbial 15 minutes of fame — and all for the wrong reasons.

Esk has a soft spot for stoning gays to death. Just when capital punishment for homosexuality has become all the rage in now-sharia-fueled Brunei, the same attitude suddenly pops up in the Sooner State.

“This guy posted on Facebook that homosexuals should be stoned to death,” political researcher Rob Morris of the Moore Monthly in Oklahoma told KFOR-TV. “My first response was you’re nuts. Nobody would be stupid enough to do that.”

Well, as Forrest Gump taught us: Stupid is as stupid does.

Last summer — after Pope Francis remarked about homosexuality, “Who am I to judge?” — Esk posted on Facebook several Biblical passages advocating that gays should be killed. Someone asked Esk on Facebook, “So just to be clear, you think we should execute homosexuals (presumably by stoning)?”

Given the opportunity to dial back his statement, Esk doubled down.

“I think we would be totally in the right to do it,” Esk replied. “That goes against some parts of libertarianism, I realize, and I am largely libertarian, but ignoring as a nation things that are worthy of death is very remiss.”

Amazing.".....
