Re-posted in full from Wendy Gittleson at Addicting Info:
The Facebook group Being Liberal had a shocking surprise posted to its wall Friday evening. I’ll let the post from Kevin Kordes of Gravois Mills, MO speak for itself.
Kordes’ Facebook page (while it lasts) lists him as,
pilot, F1 race fan, boxing, firearms and shooting sports, antique Harley-Davidson’s, WWII aircraft, cooking. I love life and thank God for it every day. God, family, Country. These are not only the most important things, they are the ONLY things that matter. From God comes family and country. With out God and family there is no country. With out a free and independent country, there is no family and there is no God.
His facebook profile is even scarier, and he actually calls for the assassination of President Obama in a quote which he accredits to himself. Here’s his favorite quotes, the last one being the most offensive:
He works at Lowe Boats
- 2900 Industrial Drive
- Lebanon, Missouri 65536
- (417) 532-9101
- Facebook fan page here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lowe-Boats/210347756368
Note: Please do not harass his employer. It’s probably not their fault they have a gun-crazy _____________ (you fill in the blank) working for them. Feel free to let them know who they’ve hired though.
Looks like Lowe’s Boats closed down their FB page, too.
Guess they got the message, then.
If he’s so damn patriotic, he can get that fucking Confederate flag off his wall.
Right?!? Holy shit how did I MISS that shit?!
I’m in Missouri now — but only for a few more days. Getting the fuck out. I’ve seen three traitor flags on display within a 20 km radius – always inside a window facing out. You can imagine the fantasies I’ve had about doing illegal things to those flags and the windows in which they are displayed.
To Our Loyal Lowe Boats Followers –
On Saturday, August 4th, we became aware of a conversation that was taking place on the Lowe Boats Facebook page. A third party posted comments on an external blog-style website. A link to these comments was posted to our Facebook page and a conversation developed.
The comments and views expressed by this third party are personal and are not supported or condoned by Lowe Boats. The Lowe Boats Facebook page was not an appropriate venue to host such a discussion and we removed access to our page for the remainder of the weekend.
We would like to say “Thank You” to our loyal followers for bringing this situation to our attention so quickly.
We apologize if this discussion caused any offense and request that comments or links such as these not be posted to the Lowe Boats Facebook page, company website or social media site.
Sincerely,
Lowe Boats
Nice form letter. We can have the conversation here instead, if you’d like. Question: is Kordes still your employee? Are you sympathetic to his position that President Obama should be assassinated? Do you condone his behavior? In other words, does he still have a job?
Because otherwise, you really don’t have much room to talk. I don’t expect Lowe Boats to apologize for hiring a racist bigot. That happens to the best of companies on occasion. Usually when they make their bigotry public, the company they work for is pressured to distance themselves. Are you doing so?
