Stacey Campfield, rose-loving, gay-hating hate-mongering State Senator from Tennessee, who taught us everything (lie) we can’t un-know about AIDS, was, on Sunday, hurtled from a Knoxville restaurant. Apparently the old eye-for-an-eye philosophy was imparted therein, which in this case is PERFECTLY FINE: Martha Boggs, a hostess at a restaurant called the Bistro at the Bijou, greeted Campfield in derogatory yet perfect terms, and asked him to leave the restaurant before he’d been served. Campfield went without incident, and Boggs later wrote on the restaurant’s Facebook page: “I hope that Stacey Campfield now knows what if feels like to be unfairly discrimanted [sic] against.” We love you, lady of the Bistro at the Bijou, spelling errors and all.
The Facebook page has since been swarmed with messages of gratitude.
In a telephone interview with BuzzFeed, Campfield confirmed the incident, that martyr, and explained that when he walked in the restaurant, “The lady started calling me names” — a homophobe and a gay-hater, specifically — “and wouldn’t serve me.” Of course, when Campfield defended himself to BuzzFeed, explaining how tolerant of gays he actually is, he also felt the need to bring race into the matter for no apparent reason.
In my business I do rental properties and I’ve rented to homosexuals, mixed-race couples, black couples. And about every single group you can think of has been in my office.
“Rental properties.”
Here’s Boggs explaining her side of the story to the Knoxville News Sentinel:
With more attention thrown upon Campfield, the anti-Campfields of the state are ramping up an effort to get him recalled, even though recall elections at the state level are not currently permitted in Tennessee — under state law, they’d have to impeach him. (DOOOO ITTTTT.) A Facebook page devoted to getting rid of him now has more than 1,000 likes!
There’s also another online petition going that hopes to get signatures from President Obama, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam and others in order to get Campfield fired. That also has around 1,000 signatures so far. Campfield is technically around until 2014, but, well, miracles can happen. WHEN U BELIEVE. Though hope is frail, it’s hard to kill, etcetera.

Ticker Tape parade for Boggs in 3…2…1…
Stacey caught in gas station bathroom with black rentboy in 4… 3… 2…
Tell me, Stacey: how does it feel to be called names and rejected like that, you closeted monkey-loving asshole?
"I'll take the Schadenfreude Soupe D'Jour, please."
an azzhole loving azzhole, what a bargin!
*toke till you choke
Like a rolling stone?
Schadenfreude Soup, best served cold.
That's my favorite Klingon proverb!
A sphincter says what?
Discuss.
ththththth!
Well, Good Morning!
Good almost noon to you too!
Wait, the guy in the pic, that Stacey there, he's straight?
Fabulously so.
What schtupps him?
In a Republican can of way. (wink wink)
Allegedly.
Rumor has it that his boyfriend is too.
WIN
And therefore 10000000% AIDS-free. Line starts to the left, boys!
As straight as Lindsay Graham.
All you have to say is "South Carolina Straight", and we know exactly what you mean.
Well, to be fair, he only fucks boy sheep.
I think a closet door got left open somewhere in the Reptard section of the Tennessee state house. Film at 11.
That's his story, and by god, he's stickin' to it.
Stacey Campfield? Is that her stage name?
Emphasis on the CAMP
No no, she's going for something more subtle, like "Ivana Bigkok."
Even Ru Paul says WTF?
"I’ve rented to homosexuals, "
But mostly to Senate republicans.
Rent boy?
Edit: Note to self……read the rest of the thread first.
minor error:
"I've *been* rented to homosexuals."
Don't Say Gay?
My Mom always tells me, Don't say fuck!
Yeah, but Stacey washes out your asshole, not just your mouth.
So "fucking gay" would be a double negative, making it a positive?!
Well, yeah.
Is that the place that serves 'Eggs Santorum'?
Maybe , but every day at Campfield's house is a shitler party .
i.e. runny?
Shorter Campfield's closet: "Why, some my best bathroom dates have been gays!"
I can't think of anyone I know who's ever been discrimanted against or subjected to discrimantation.
Oh how he loves REcalling since it involves his butt.
What an azz
It warms my heart that discrimating against someone for being a giant douchebag is totally legal; and, in this case, awesome.
10:1 Rentboy.com is one of his bookmarks.
"In my business I do rental properties and I’ve rented to homosexuals,"
So, this guy owns Rentboy.com?
"…I’ve rented myself to homosexuals,"
-fixed
But he takes the rent out in trade.
So, I guess we can't say "Campfield" so how about we change his name to "Gay"?
You go girl!
A rose by any other name would smell like a 42-year-old bachelor with perpetual gayface.
To be honest, this is a crazyfight between two crazy people. He is obviously twisted and sad, she is well meaning, but, well, crazy. It makes me sad. I am sick of this shit. Can't we all just get along? I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony, I'd like to buy the world a Coke. I thought we had all this angry and hating all done and over around 1973? I blame disco.
Everything went downhill in 1978 after the release of Push Push In The Bush.
It was the '70s — everyone was on drugs. How do you think Gerald Ford got to be president?
Ford got to be President because Nixon appointed him VP and resigned, not because of voters on drugs.
But how can we explain Nixon becoming president in the first place?
Exactly! COUNTER-CULTURE FAIL
Nixon was on drugs. QED.
I feel you, but there's a point at which assholes will take advantage of our desire to just get along. It can be handy occasionally to have crazy assholes of our own.
I blame "The Sounds of Music." It was all downhill from there…
"Hi, I'm Martha, and I'll be serving your hateful bigoted a** the hell out my restaurant right now."
"Hi, I'm …"
- at a loss for words?
- out of electricity?
- watching you eat potato chips?
FFFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
Was his boy friend tossed (from the Bistro) as well?
I have a bad feeling that this story is a long ways from being over.
The anti-non-heterosexuals will claim his eviction was part of the elite media secular war on Christianity. Next step: Find an activist judge who will make new law from the bench requiring restaurants to feed politicians.
No, that is too clever.
Remember, we're talking about Tennessee.
Lots of whinin' from straight white Christians about how they're the most persecuted minority ever, then?
What the fuck is he doing at a French restaurant anyway???
Gobbling up some French fries and ketchup.
Ah, the Freedums Fries, of course….
Um. Pretty sure that obeying the law about rental discrimination doesn't mark you as a humanitarian.
Maman:
You mean like those racists who say "I'm not a bigot; I had a Black girlfriend?"
Exactly. And she was a secret black girlfriend at that.
Oh, Strom Thurmond…
"I do rental properties"
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
In his case, he does the keyholes.
Are you saying he's a pimp? He needs to get the proper hat and jacket then.
Nah, pimpin ain't easy I'm sure Stacey likes it easy. His face has john written all over.
Actually, it has "gimp suit" written all over it…
True, it is hard out there for a pimp, just tryin' to make the money, pay the rent…
Push push in the tush.
The madam at the Chicken Ranch calls the girls "rental properties", so yes.
You don't pay the rental to come to you. You pay it to go away.
If I am ever in Konoxville I'll be sure to have several meals at the Bistro at the Bijou. And after I'm done eating, I'll take a healthy dump on Stacy's frontyard. This guy is nothing more than a turdblossom goat fucker.
Did he console himself by fucking a monkey?
His chimp likes to top.
This is like Goebbels walking into a Jewish ghetto and being called a Nazi. Shit just is not fair.
The nerve of some people, amirite?
We must denounce the discrimination against hateful bigots!
well, it is not as if we can expect him to learn anything from this. He is still republican
The Senator in booth number five will be having the shit pie.
Oh, is Minny the pastry chef at the Bistro at the Bijou? Also, why is a mans man like Stacey even patronizing an eatery named Bistro at the Bijou? That is an old lady restaurant for sure, brass, ferns and 6 kinds of quiche.
He wants to start with a tossed salad.
Stacey! With an "e". This is a man's man.
For those unfamiliar with the southern accent, it's easy to confuse "office" with "orifice."
Nice photog Liz. Is there a tulip sticking out his other end?
What that man needs is tulips on his organ!
Suck the bigot right outta him!
Read the card!
No Ginger Dijon Glazed Chicken for you!
With your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs
Who among them did you think could resist you ?
"We love you, lady of the Bistro at the Bijou, spelling errors and all."
In Tennessee, spelling on words more than 3 syllables doesn't count. And they way they talk down there, that's most of them, darling.
"Oil" has 3 syllables down there.
"words more than 3 syllables doesn't count. And they way they talk down there, that's most of them"
Including "Guh-Aw-Duh".
There’s also another online petition going that hopes to get signatures from President Obama, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam and others in order to get Campfield fired.
Oh, President Obama will sign it soon. Right after his jobs head Jeffrey Immelt locates that pair of comfortable shoes that's been missing the last three years.

Can you stop this shit? Thanks. Gawd.
Keep fucking that monkey, Campy. Keep. Fucking. That. Monkey.
Um……. IF YOU DON'T RENT TO HOMOSEXUALS, MIXED-RACE COUPLES, BLACK COUPLES, THE ELDERLY, OR VETS BECAUSE THEY ARE HOMOSEXUALS, MIXED-RACE COUPLES, BLACK COUPLES, THE ELDERLY, OR VETS YOU BREAK THE FUCKING LAW ASS-LUMP COCK SUCKER NECK FUCK DILDO ROLLER-COASTER RIDE PISS SHIT PRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God I hate when people say things like "I'm not a __________ because I (it's required by law) all the time." It's like me saying I'm not an angry person because I haven't punched a cop today.
Sadly that's not true when it comes to gay people; under federal law discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is perfectly legal. It's illegal under a lot of state and local laws, but somehow I doubt that's the case in Knoxville, TN.
I didn't run over anybody's kid today, not even the really annoying neighbor kid.
*pleased with self*
Nice story, but pointless. She's appealing to his sense of empathy, thinking he'll realize how others feel when they're treated that way.
But he has no sense of empathy to appeal to. That's how he's able to say the dickish things he says in the first place.
Folks assume those they disagree with possess the same intellectual and emotional faculties as themselves. They often don't.
Reverse sit-in
Which seems to be a universal case. Plus, closeted, also.
Seriously, Boggs is a local hero here for the most part now and even most of the "Obummer" wingnuts are tired of Stacey "Im not married nor do I have kids I just have this weird obssession with the gays" Campfield embarassing us on the national scene. Knoxville really isnt as backwards as you think we are!
Nobody wants these guys. ""I think his [Jeb Bush's] father, frankly, picked a candidate, inadvertently. He was having lunch with a Houston Chronicle reporter.
I'd had lunch with President Bush 41 a couple of weeks before that, and he had no intention of endorsing a candidate.
But he was having lunch with a Houston Chronicle reporter and sort of let out that he sort of liked Mitt Romney, and then said 'let's order the soup'."
And of course George H. W. Bush is such a little biddy that he officially made his Romney endorsement unofficial:
Jeb's father, George H.W. Bush, has been quoted in the Houston Chronicle and on the Internet that he was giving Romney "an unofficial endorsement."
He's definitely shed his reputation for being a lapdog when his opinions as a private personage aren't official unless they're cleared by the proper authorities.
I predict the good senator will announce later this week that through exhaustive and meticulous research he has identified the exact location where that gay airline pilot sucked the AIDS out of a monkey.
SPOILER ALERT–it was in the kitchen of the Bistro at the Bijou!! OMFG!!!
Have a little class, will ya? It's Superbowl Week!
I don't know. Do the ladies cancel out the moustache? http://www.stacykeach.com/images/ham-chicks2.jpg
Beards, moustaches, whatev…
Remember kids: unless it rises to the level of being a violation of both state and federal law, there's absolutely no way anyone could justifiably call you a bigot.
NJ:
Yesterday I heard Off-the-Mark Levin brag about gay folks coming to his book signing. How did he know someone was gay, having spoken to that person for ten or twenty seconds?
How did StacEy know he rented to a homosexual? Is that one of the little boxes on his rental application form?
Hillbilly ginger with cornflake dandruff. No doubt he is suffering from Ned Beaty Syndrome.
Some people just never get over it.
As long as Campfield's daddy is alive, there will always be that reminder.
It's a sign of how sick our society has come when an unrepentant bigot who spouts ignorant nonsense can't just run around town like he owns the place. I'm sure he'll be crying reverse discrimination if he hasn't already — which makes me wonder, what does Rand "The Civil Rights Act Stomps on States' Rights" Paul have to say about this?
"It's a sign of how sick our society has come when an unrepentant bigot who spouts ignorant nonsense can't just run around town like he owns the place."
Hell in a handbasket, I tells ya.
Of course he rents to varied groups. We don't want any of the "wrong sort" to actually own property, do we?
Bistro? Gay.
The Bistro is, no joke, located on Gay Street.
In my business I do rental properties and I’ve rented to homosexuals, mixed-race couples, black couples. And about every single group you can think of has been in my office.
yeah but what about the lizard people, stacey???? what about them???
Since so many of the repubs *are* lizard people, I'm guessing they've been in his office, too.
He reminds me of the toilet in my first apartment. I usually had to flush twice.
stacey is a girl's name.
No word on whether he passed that really high bar of letting gays and black use his bathroom.
Only if he was in it at the time.
Alright, which one of you fuckers is Martha Boggs?
All of us, Chetie!
"I am Spartacus!"
Between Wade & his fried chicken & beer habit, & this Martha's assertiveness, the name Boggs is being reclaimed as cool from the idiot Boggs clan of Louisiana.
& by the way, isn't a bistro kind of an exotic concept? Or, would Cokie be all "IOKIYAR"?
Let me guess, was he there for brunch, or is this the kind of place that has tea dances?
College town — safe for Hipsters forced to travel Down There.
This is just like that time that Jesus guy got nailed to that cross.
True story:
I (and several other people) had an online disagreement going with this guy who was a big bible thumping christian, and he finally got all pissed off and posted, "You atheists are all so closed-minded and mean, like those people who persecuted the guy with the telescope because he said the earth revolved around the sun!!!"
I swear, you can't make this shit up.
White men kicked out of restaurants. Damn. Dogs will be sleeping with cats next. Glad I've bought property on the moon and have a star named after me.
WRT:
I couldn't afford to have a star named after me.
So I just changed my name to Arcturus.
Sayeth Stacy:
In the 60's my grandfather sat at the lunch counters with the blacks in Knoxville to help break up the segregation of the races.
1. No one earns rewards for their grandfather's decency. It's not hereditary.
2. "the" blacks?
I understand that Donald Trump is very popular with "The Blacks", too.
I think the bigots and the homophobes should stay away from places called "bistros" in general. They should stick to the "all you can eat buffet" type joints, where their kind belongs.
"I have a great relationship with the blacks."
~ Donald Chump
And now, Stacey Campfield
You can't discriminate against me. I'm the bigot, not you. Also, the sauce on that ham sandwich tasted great. What was it?
"the sauce on that ham sandwich tasted great. What was it?"
*runs around knocking dishes off counter*
IT'S PEOPLE!!!
You forgot to mention that the restaurant is on Gay Street.
dammit! I was gonna say that.
Yay, we Knoxvillians are gonna OccupyGayStreet!
Shoot, I'd have let him stay, taken his money, and gotten a couple of employees to jerk off into his food before serving it. "Here's your sugar-glazed French toast and a cup of coffee light with cream, Senator…"
That would have been better. Served with a smile, of course. Don't piss off people who are going to be making/serving your food. Ever.
I'm gagging, here.
You are assuming he does not know the taste of semen, an unlikely probability since he is a conservative obsessed with gays.
I hope this incident does not hinder Campbell from scoring clandestine homosexual trysts.
"I rent to homosexuals because they're so neat and tidy…"
But they get their AIDS everywhere! As you know, all they have to do is touch something and it gets AIDS!
Obligatory (& probably delicious).
Thank you, Ms. Boggs. Next time, unleash the dogs.
The ones with bees in their mouths, and when they bark, they shoot bees at ya?
I'd have slipped him a dose of meth and tried to turn him out with that guy hooker who banged Ted Haggard.
At least I'd have tried.
I met a little girl in Knoxville,
A town we all know well,
And every Sunday evening,
Out in her home I’d dwell.
I know one thing, if I were one of his tenants, I'd pay every month personally in cash and I can assure you each Bill would be smegma-smeared for his pleasure.
You mean this guy hasn't come out (yet) ??
We reserve the right to refuse service to idiots and assholes.
He picked that rose in Narnia, right? Last time he found his way all the long miles from the back of his closet?
You guys, the only reason he went to the restaurant in the first place was to order a tossed salad.
I've heard the Bistro at the Bijou has the best spotted dick in Tennessee.
"In my business I do rental properties and I’ve rented to homosexuals, mixed-race couples, black couples. And about every single group you can think of has been in my office."
Allow me to translate the Senator's message for those who haven't had the red state experience…..
Teapublican speak meaning: "Look, I wish I didn't have to deal with dirty folks, but until we elect a veto proof majority of Fox News contributers, it's going to remain federal law. You know me, you seen me at church. You know I wouldn't deal with homos and niggers if I didn't HAVE to"!
You're welcome.
Martha Boggs is a hero! Good for her! And Campfield is gay.
I've actually been there, in my real world capacity as academic spouse.
Stacey has quite the reputation as a slumlord in Tennessee. And as a bigoted moron, but you probably already figure that out on your own.
The place is on "Gay Street", so he was probably just hoping to cruise a few public toilets before some libtards had to go violate his imaginary civil right to be a bigot with no consequence.
Can Stacey Campfield be recalled as a human being?
Before I scrolled down all the way this is all I saw in the Facebook feed on the right side of the page:
You can only imagine how disappointed I was to scroll down and see the title in full. I was so sure that he'd been caught in a public bathroom cruising for sex. :(
Why, I do declare, Stacey!
"Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville, & this is the DIS-tro Bistro".
This is why I love this fucking town. Love it.
He's a confirmed bachelor.
