Chris Kluwe and MN for Marriage's Andy Parrish engage in Twitter war of words

By Aaron Rupar Wed., Oct. 24 2012 at 10:01 AM

Said Kluwe: "People like [Parrish] are exactly what's wrong with our system. Tries to call me out then won't engage."

Last night, Chris Kluwe -- subject of this week's City Pages cover feature, "Chris Kluwe takes a stand" -- and Minnesota for Marriage Deputy Campaign Manager Andy Parrish went at each other on Twitter. The exchange culminated in Parrish following the lead of other Minnesota Republicans and refusing to debate Kluwe about the marriage amendment.

As you'd probably expect, Twitter users following the Kluwe-Parrish exchange largely sided with Kluwe, prompting Parrish, this morning, to remark: "If you're interested in seeing #Tolerance and #Diversity look at my twitter mentions from last night."

Here's the blow-by-blow:

if @mn4allfamilies spokester @chriswarcraft sold "Lustful Monster & SparklePony t-shirts" would the media cover it? chriskluwetshirt.com

@joshuajhovey @mn4allfamilies @chriswarcraft not surprising that foul mouth Chris Kluwe is silent on the tweets I have recived

@chriswarcraft I tuned out after your foul mouth tirade. You lost me at "Lustful CockMonster"

Last thought for the night: People like @andyparrishmn are exactly what's wrong with our system. Tries to call me out then won't engage.

@chriswarcraft LOL. Thanks Chris, We've already committed to the debates we are going to do.

@chriswarcraft Good luck against the Buc's Chris - I think one thing we agree on is we are all proud of our Vikings!
-- Andy Parrish (@AndyParrishMN) October 24, 2012

No, @andyparrishmn, no evasions, no appealing to the sports team. You wanted to talk. Let's talk. I'm waiting.
-- Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) October 24, 2012

So that's a "no" then, @andyparrishmn. Glad to see you have the conviction of your beliefs. I'll put you down for a "no" on the vote too.
-- Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) October 24, 2012

@chriswarcraft Goodnight to you. Good luck.
-- Andy Parrish (@AndyParrishMN) October 24, 2012

Parrish then clarified his "good luck" remark, saying, "Good luck Thursday [i.e., when the Vikings play the Bucs] that is!"

Wow, what happened to Chris Kluwe?

The before and after almost look like he would be a good fit for a meth billboard.

Bigots like Andy Parrish are cowards and liars. Tea Party Republican bigots that put this amendment won't debate because their arguement is complete nonsense. The only reason this is on the ballot is to exploit the stupid bigots that make up the base of the Republican Party. I will never understand how people like Andy Parrish can be so evil and cowardly. I think we need an amendment to strip the tax exempt status of churches and organizations that support bigoted political actions like this. Start with the Catholics. See how they like the majority ganging up on the minority. Point out to the evangelical crazy Christians this is a way to get rid of heretic churches in Minnesota.

@MicheleBachmann "an amendment to strip the tax exempt status of churches and organizations that support bigoted political actions like this"

But only churches that support bigoted actions, because that in itself wouldn't be bigoted...

@MicheleBachmann Yes! We could put a great dent in our deficit if we tax the churches! Why don't I get a tax break for NOT having an imaginary friend in the sky and being able to think for myself? Please GAWD! Save us from the Christians!!!!!!
