Would You Purchase Telecom Services From This Man?
It should be noted 373K is a telecommunications vendor for the Democratic Party and Kelvin Williams is an openly gay man. It makes sense for him to be displeased about the passage of the First Amendment Defense Act. Given the circumstances, his departure is anything but surprising.
After conducting a bit of research on Kelvin Williams, it turns out the man is a piece of work. His Google+ and Twitter accounts are laden with posts promoting violence, misogyny, Christian-bashing, and rape. It’s pretty sick, actually. Democrats and Republicans jumping to make Mr. Williams the poster-child for the side effects of religious liberty legislation should think twice before using him. He might represent the potential economic impact of religious liberty, but he also represents violence, bigotry, and the rest of the aforementioned ugliness.
We grabbed these screenshots this afternoon from Williams’s public Twitter and Google Plus feeds, and have linked the screenshots to the original posts. You can click any image to make it larger. If the links don’t work by the time you get to them, you can imagine why.
Republicans own up to their bad apples. It would be nice if the Democrats would do the same.

HAHAHA! Oh man. This is awesome, you’ve captured my essence in one post. Now for some facts.
1) The question you ask of your readers, “Would you buy telecom services from this man?” Problem is, they can’t. We don’t perform retail sales. Had you taken the time to contact our company or just barely read our website you would have known this.
2) Had you actually bothered to read my “About” on Google+ you would have found this “Disclaimer” which would have helped you understand most of my posts, “English is my second language. My first is Sarcasm.”
3) The posts you display…
a) “Who Would Jesus Hate?” — That’s a serious question, name on person that Jesus hated.
b) “I’m passed this stage” — Again, sarcasm, and quite honestly, how many people in Georgia are on prescription meds?
c) “If your religion is worth killing for, please start with yourself” — Does this really need a response? It’s pretty clear, if your religion tells you to kill others, I’d rather you start with yourself.
d) Someone killed on a morning show — Again, sarcasm… You should watch that video though, it shows how racist Fox News is.
e) Scalia. Scalia, like most of the Georgia legislature wanted to take us back in time. Stop social progress. So I shed absolutely no tears over his death. Have you had a chance to read what he had to say about gays and blacks?!
f) Italian Rapes/The Pope — Are priests not sheltered by the Vatican? Where were you when the child sex scandal broke?
g) Echoing my inner pastor — My belief is that when you drop bombs on people who are throwing rocks, you’re a terrorist. When you kill innocents to encroach on their land, ignoring the lines drawn, you’re a terrorist.
h) Shaming Ann Coulter — This woman is the most divisive, hateful, shit stirring imbecile I’ve ever heard. She should be shamed.
i) Defaming a legislator? I think he did that to himself! Sick pedo bastard.
j) “Only fake Christians will be offended.” — Again, this goes back to a) “Who Would Jesus Hate?” If those who identified themselves as Christian actually acted more Christlike this world would be a much more beautiful place. Imagine it.
k) “The company is a Democratic Vendor” — So. One of our subsidiaries is a Republican vendor.
In closing, I find it absolutely HILARIOUS that you guys want a First Amendment Defense Act, but you wanna “shame” me for my posts on social media–which are “free speech” (a right also provided by the First Amendment). Listen, there’s NOTHING I have put online that I’m ashamed of.
But I do have to thank you for collecting some of my best posts in one spot. Funny though, you seemed to have missed all the ones where I’ve donated to the sick, paid for burials of people I didn’t know, and all the other things you good Christians would never do.
OKTHNXBAI!
@Kelvine I feel your pain. My drug dealer makes me lay on a couch for an hour too before writing those prescriptions…
Hey while we’re talking, great job on the PR side. That was a fast real estate cycle to announce the move to Jacksonville, especially considering the bill only passed one chamber of the legislature, hasn’t passed the other, and would still need the governor to sign… News story came out so quick that I didn’t get to read the part about how many employees were coming with you. Kudos for offering them relocation money to help. Didn’t see the amount mentioned in the articles, but assume it was offered and all this PR wasn’t about some dude running a small, relatively unknown business leaving Decatur for the beach in Jacksonville.
I’m with you 100% on the importance of first amendment speech. It’s a crucial right. Doesn’t always hold up in the court of public opinion though. Judging by the pics sounds like Mr Kremer found you guilt of broadcasting “hate speech?” Does this count as “hate speech” or does that only apply when it’s a conservative doing this on social media?
Welcome to the Political Realm Bruh
Unfortunately, when you go in front of every channel 2, 5, and 11 in the State making yourself the face of a cause, you have to answer to even your “Sarcastic” Google posts.
I was expecting it. I’m not worried a bit. My life is a bit of an open book, I’m just kinda pissed he didn’t get some of the better of my posts.
“…some of the better of my posts…..”
Like your anti-Semitic posts or like when you used the “N word” twice in a single post to describe an African American man? I can see why you are taking such a stand against discrimination (eye roll).
You should probably read all of my posts and not just the ones you find sensational, as you’ll find, like all of my followers, that most of them are pure sarcasm. I’m not anti-Semitic. You forget what I said in my interviews, I have people from EVERY faith or no faith at all working for me. I don’t tolerate discrimination, I don’t practice it either, however, I do cuss, I do poke fun, hell I have an entire collection called “Das Raciss” that is purely humor.
I’m sorry you don’t have a sense of humor otherwise you’d enjoy them a lot more. Either way, I’m wasting my time commenting on some punk kids website when I’ve got a fight to continue, so that you guys can’t get your way with your legalized bigotry… And I’m going to fight it all the way.
So saying/repeating racist or homophobic things are okay as long as I am being sarcastic.
Can’t really see the details on the Coulter one…pretty sure I agree with him there.
I’m disappointed with the whole tone of this post. Why the hit on a private citizen expressing his views? What does this have to do with Georgia politics? Digging around someone’s social media accounts in an attempt to discredit them is pretty sleazy; National Inquirer level ‘journalism’ at best. I don’t see what your trying to prove. It’s like Pavlov’s dog for conservatives; hang out the red meat and they will respond accordingly.
And you wonder why Trump is your candidate.
I agree. Seems like a hit piece and honestly I am surprised to see it here. I have come to expect better from those who write for this site and edit it. Mr. Williams tweeted his reaction to the vote in the Senate and it was picked up by the press. He didn’t seek out the spotlight but it came to him. While some of his posts are not things I would agree with, I don’t view them in the same harsh light you do. Calling out Ann Coulter isn’t misogyny, and making a comment about the Vatican isn’t defaming the Pope (and I was raised Catholic). I’m a Democrat but I don’t have to own him any more than the GOP has to own every person who speaks out on an issue and gets picked up by the press.
Do onto others as you would have them do onto you.
Didn’t seek the spotlight? He’s not exactly turning down press coverage for his company. Last I check he was the ONLY EMPLOYEE leaving Georgia.
Still waiting to hear how much $$$ he offered his employees in relocation costs if they wanted to leave Georgia too.
I suspect he was in the real estate market to leave Georgia before this bill even had it’s first committee hearing.
This is Stretch Armstrong levels of stretching here…
When Kelvin stepped out into the spotlight, he invited this kind of scrutiny. There is nothing in the world wrong with pointing out these kinds of things about him. His communications are crass and hateful. Sarcasm is no cover for the kind of hate he has shown on his social media page. (personal or not) Will was absolutely right to point this out and warn people that may be too quick to identify with Kelvin before they know the sort of person he is.
This didn’t start with his social media posts but his announcement that his company would leave GA. I took Will’s post to be a warning to those that would use him as a poster child for companies leaving Ga. He did hit a nerve though, kelvinewilliams was the first to respond to this post. Technically a public figure? Probably not, but he isn’t running from the spotlight here.
OK. I appreciate your wanting to make sure the subject matter here is well curated. I don’t know if I 100% agree in this case, but I understand your point.
We didn’t seek any attention, and what we’ve gotten will benefit us not. We have a fixed customer demographic and the consumer isn’t it. If giving interviews exposes the silliness of this law, we will keep giving them. Believe it or not, we had a joint press release with Internap yesterday that would have been far more beneficial but it was covered up by this. But we feel it’s worth it.
We are NOT moving to Jacksonville.
The number of employees who want to leave I’d unknown, but we will definitely cover all costs. People should not be fixated on the number of employees affected, that was never our intent. We are taking our tax dollars out of a state that would even have such legislation. What hasn’t been covered is the fact that for almost the past year we were building a global infrastructure (see the Internap release) and just recently we started taking more and more traffic, so this is the period when we start hiring more, and none of those jobs will be here in Georgia.
Lastly, of course I’m going to respond to a hit piece that took my social media posts out of context. I’m sorry none of you get my sense of humor.
I get your sense of humor…and agree with it for the most part. This was a hit piece (obviously), but mostly was to try to throw out a red herring to take people off the scent of this horrible bill that is most certainly unconstitutional. Luckily, like a 2 day old dead fish…you wont be able to hide from the stench this bill exudes. Whether you want to blame the messenger or acknowledge the underlying cause.
