Oklahoma Lawmaker's Comments Generate National Attention

Quote:
Our weekend story about an Oklahoma legislator's comments about homosexuals has received tremendous response from our viewers. And, we're following up on the story today.

The comments were made by Representative Sally Kern of Oklahoma City and were recorded by someone attending a gathering in her district.

During the comments, Kern said quote "The homosexual agenda is destroying this nation. It's just a fact. Not everybody's lifestyle is equal. Just not like all religions are equal."

Today, we have a crew in Oklahoma City trying to contact Representative Kern to get her comments on the issue. If successful, we will have that and more on the story tonight on NewsChannel 8.

The story has generated more than one hundred comments on our website and more are making their voices heard on the subject every minute.

"Ms. Kern needs to get out of Oklahoma more frequently if she thinks that homosexuality is a greater threat than terrorism," said message board user Rerichards.

It's not very comforting that lunatics like Kern hold high positions where they can affect change that impacts many people. Fortunately, they are usually exposed rather quickly because of their inability to filter their ignorance and hate-filled views from the public.

Re: Oklahoma Lawmaker's Comments Generate National Attention

it starts out in the "liberal media" and then before you know it, dittoheads everywhere are repeating the two-word memes...

"Wolf, we're expecting that vote sometime this hour. And I'll tell you, this vote could be a real political headache for some Democrats, especially when you consider the ads that ran last election cycle about Nancy Pelosi's radical homosexual agenda." - CNN's congressional correspondent Jessica Yellin

"And what we also know is that there is a huge effort to propagate this to our children. And all we have to do is look to Massachusetts and California, just two states to mention, to see how far the radical homosexual agenda would go to radicalize our children." - Culture Campaign president Sandy Rios, on the O'Reilly Factor

"They're people who attack me. It's run by a homosexual activist who hates anybody in the media who does not kowtow to the homosexual agenda." - Michael Savage, speaking about Media Matters

"This is another way of -- of advancing the so-called homosexual agenda." - media writer Neal Gabler, on Brokeback Mountain

"[Howard Dean's] success will depend on concealing the facts about Dean's homosexual experiment [which purportedly "implemented the homosexual agenda" in Vermont] -- and how he has used young people as sexual guinea pigs." - AIM's Cliff Kincaid

What an ignorant twit. God forbid that our kids should be nice to others instead of berating and humiliating them. This lady, and those like her, probably just hate their own mediocre and boring lives so much that they can only get an ounce of pleasure from attacking those who are happy with who they are. But who cares? The old bat will probably croak soon anyways from gay cancer. And who still calls it a lifestyle anymore anyways? I guess ‘orientation’ is too relevant of a word for such hate-mongers.

Kern should looked up the part on the First Amendment that says all religions are equal in this country. But this came from someone out of Oklahoma I cant say Im surprised.

Re: Oklahoma Lawmaker's Comments Generate National Attention

It's not so much the whole argument as the "The homosexual agenda is destroying America" part. How can homosexuals be destroying America anymore then the last 8 years of Bush & Co. have? As far as lifestyles, sure I agree with her. We're all different. My life is different from Jallman's his life is different from NP's, NP's life is different then Kandahars and so and so on.

in order to understand how the "destroying America" statement can be true (for them), you must consider what they mean when they say "America."
