Missouri Republican State Representative Mark Parkinson is claiming his Twitter account was “hacked” earlier this week, and that he’s “never before seen” the photo of the giant erection “the hacker” tweeted from his account Monday.
Parkinson tweeted his apologies after deleting the offending photo. “I’m out walking doors and nowhere near my computer!”, he said, perhaps not realizing that a computer is not necessary for tweeting. Then again, what can we expect from someone “out walking doors” in the middle of the afternoon?
But don’t worry, he has changed his password. “Random” pictures like this are no longer welcome on this account, kiddos. We’ll save those for the local news broadcast.
@eseider yes, it was somehow compromised. I'm out walking doors and nowhere near my computer!

Obviously, I need to change my twitter password. Random pics and tweets are being sent that I have never seen before. Apologies!

A man his age should be grateful for erection.

My first thought was to defend him but then after ls looking at his twitter acct he is an active member on something called “untapped” a social drinking game website. This is his official representative page and he unlocks badges for drinking beer….the untapped avatar looks suspiciously like a giant penis. So umn maybe it’s more of a trend than he wants to admit! https://untappd.com/user/markparkinson/badges/19510586?ref=social_badge

@Lvng1tor: Exactly! I love Untapped, but there is no way in hell I would link that to my congressional/state twitter account. It’s amazing how many of these officials forget they are public representatives and get too comfortable blurring their private life and public presence. When they do, they are more apt to post a large penis maybe.

Can you imagine the disappointment in real life?

I suppose walking doors is easier than walking dogs. Doors don’t crap on the carpet or make sheep’s eyes at you when they’re hungry. Presumably you just tie some string round the door handles, and drag them behind you through the park. Maybe the whole thing is just a shaggy door story.

Humhh? If the writer of the piece and several commenters – hopefully not representative of queer activist – were no so ignorant, lazy, and stupid – perhaps we’d have a plenty more queers in Congress, in state legislatures, etc.
Anyone should know that a key to building political power in neighborhoods and communities in most of America is to ‘walk doors’, or as we say in Virginia ‘door to door campaigning’.
Door to door campaigning is one of the most generative grassroots political strategies ( including to identity likely voters you need to get out to vote on election day(s) and to learn about the core issues that matter to local voters. Door to door campaiging is critical for may elections, and is very volunteer intensive.
Perhaps the writers – and commenters – would volunteer 10-20 hours of door to door campaigning. They might learn something more than how to make cheesy sleazy sex talk about everything. And, maybe if they’d do that volunteering in Southern States, including Missouri, they’d learn a lot more.
Ya think?

Am I missing the link to said erection?

they always say they were hacked- A Weiner tried that at first, too- we’ll find out.

Q: What benefit would this man gain by posting such a stupid picture?
A: None.
Q: What benefit would this man’s Democrat political opponent gain by hacking this pic into Parkinson’s Twitter account?
A: Plenty, like winning the election by shaming the competition.
Yeah, it’s called “politics,” people.
@edwardnvirginia: It’s not Queerty’s lack of knowledge with volunteers or door-to-door campaigning that’s the issue—it’s their continuing obvious agenda to destroy all things conservative, Republican, American exceptionalism, religious (except for Muslims, they LOVE them some Muslims, even when they’re killing us), the military, Tea Party, even Libertarians like me. Welcome to Obama’s America.

My only question is: Why is this stuff keep happening in Missouri? It seem almost monthly some heterosexual from MO has put “Their All” foot in “Their ALL” good old Missour’a’ mouth! Plus,”They All” have taken “Show Me” stupid to a new level. May it be over Guns, indecent liberties with a minor, something crazy about LGBTQ issue, something about Abortions (Example: RAPE is OK with God. Abortion- Bad.), or some ‘Red Neck’ law protecting themselves from an education over the six grade or the laws of gravity (Science does not exist, and the earth is only 6K years old). Sometimes you just have to wounder.

Q: What benefit would this man’s Democrat political opponent gain by hacking this pic into Parkinson’s Twitter account?
A:- Have you forgotten Todd Akin ‘Legitimate rape’ quote? He WAS a Republican. NOT a democrat.

Yep “password” is never a good password.

@princess ida: Thank you for that….freakn funny!
@edwardnvirginia: Come on we know what walking doors is…Queerty and the people commenting were having fun at his response. Like he was out “walking doors” like a patriot pounding the pavement…drinking beers and getting badges on “Untapped” so he had no idea from his smart phone that someone was “hacking” his twitter…as he tweeted from his smart phone.
I only wish @BJ McFrisky: hadn’t figured out our “continuing obvious agenda to destroy all things conservative, Republican, American exceptionalism, religious (except for Muslims, they LOVE them some Muslims, even when they’re killing us), the military, Tea Party, even Libertarians like me. Welcome to Obama’s America.” You sir are HILARIOUS!
Back to the drawing board guys….the trolls have unraveled our nefarious plot!

I have a sneaking suspicion that the Tedious Right will now focus on this group in order to make their hate dollars, since the LGBT horse died between their fat, white, dimply, entitled thighs. The Tedious Right cannot win by good concepts, good leadership, and positive fairness. Gerrymandering, voter suppression, fear mongering, and cheating hasn’t won many elections lately. Let’s hope that their new strategy of picking on Muslims fails too. (Losers.) LGBT should never forgive the Republicans for how they have exploited us for political gain. Now that this is no longer working for them, who’s next? You fucktards make me sick.

@BJ McFrisky: did you get an account just to post that drivel in defense of this republican jerk? you posted the same lame talking points which can be found on any liberal site posted by conservatives defending republicans and tea partiers. do you think anybody really cared enough to hack this insignificant politicos account on twitter?
tricky ricky
@edwardnvirginia: he was drunk tweeting and what he meant to tweet was walking outdoors so as to imply he didn’t have the facilities to tweet anything because he was outdoors and therefore nowhere near a computer. he wasn’t campaigning door to door.
tricky ricky
@edwardnvirginia: you’re awful defensive sparky. your comment might make one think you were the republican douche who tweeted the giant dick then lied about it.

Another ditwad Repug who can only offer a photo of his brain for us to admire. Ewwwwwwww.

@edwardnvirginia: You obviously aren’t aware that our government has more GLBT people in political offices than ever before, and it’s only going to get better! Better be careful… it DOES get better… but, probably not for you!
