Gay-Bashing State Rep Exaggerated Death Threats

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is sorting through nearly 7,000 e-mails that were sent to a state lawmaker after she said homosexuality is a bigger threat to the United States than terrorism.

Comments by Rep. Sally Kern, recorded several weeks ago but placed on the Internet site YouTube only late last week, have caused a national outcry, resulting in more than 500,000 hits on the Web site.

A fellow lawmaker contacted the OSBI on Monday and suggested that agents go through the e-mails, some of which might be threatening, OSBI spokeswoman Jessica Brown said.

Kern said Monday that she had not received death threats. On Tuesday, she said, "It's changed," but she did not elaborate.

Brown said Tuesday, "There are a lot of e-mails to the representative that say, 'You ought to die,' rather than, 'I am going to kill you.'

"I wouldn't characterize them as death threats," she said.

could we please get that hateful closet-case's hideous mug outta the headlines? every time i look into those empty glassy eyes -- straight through to the back of her wasteful skull -- i cringe a little, and a shooting disgust makes my toes curl with contempt.

a truly detestable demon of a woman.

I would say neither that she should die or be killed. I do feel, however, after listening to her ignorant, hateful rantings, that she should resign or be impeached. What this Republican did was far more serious than what the Democratic Spitzer did.

She states that God has said gays should not exist, and that gays are a more serious threat to this country than terrorism.

First off, God does not hate his children, nor does he want us to judge anyone. The vile venom she spewed makes me realize something quite clearly. I do not feel the gays are a more serious threat to this country than the terrorists, but I do feel the GOP are not only worse than the terrorists, they have established an ignorant, closed and hateful sect which is a new form of terrorist.

Fear is a weapon, and I will not fear them. I will, however, be quite cautious. I would not want anyone of her type in a position of power any more than I would want to have Osama Bin Laden be a guest speaker at my church!

Now, if she could next squirt out a little lesbian, this would be a much, much better world!

Let me guess.

7 to 8 months down the road, a well known lawmaker with the initials "S.K." will be forced to resign when said representative is caught in a same-sex affair.

I'll open the table with $25.00.

This is a classic example of christian family values. Christians all over America disown their gay children. Just as Abraham was willing to kill Isaac on the altar, Sally seems quite eager to destroy her own family to please her god. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma Republicans applaud her actions.

My advice to christians is this. If you want to view your own homosexuality as a sin and a temptation to be resisted...find and dandy...but please do not have children. Coach Sally quite obviously wrestles with this and my guess is husband Steve does too. Very often "gay gene" bearing christian couples abuse their children in order to beat the gay out of them, and this christian disowning thing is nothing more than mental abuse.

I know many christians do not believe in the gay gene just as they do not believe in evolution, so let me put in terms that christians can understand:

"The sins of the father shall be visited upon the son."

For Jesus (Kern's) sake, please stop this christian madness.

Fundamentalists like her and her husband believe that sex is for procreation only. So this woman, posing as an expert on the gay/straight issues, thinks sex is dirty unless you're making babies.

When will these people learn that the best way to guarantee you have a gay child is to speak out against gay people?

Lets all pray that somehow this shrew's husband learns to sexually satisfy her so she can let go of her hate.

more likely, her husband has no clue how to get her off and her homophobia is a mirror of her hatred of her own sexuality combined with complete ignorance

This evil, ignorant woman is worried about death threats. She hasn't even experience one-zillionth the terror most gay people must face when we come out.

There should be a special place in hell for people who abandon their children for no damn reason. This witch taught her son to hate himself intensely, and she will NEVER know the hell that that put her son through.

What a miserable excuse for a public figure! She's essentially disowned her gay son Jesse, she distorts Christianity as the wife of a Baptist minister, she preaches hate and bigotry as a legislator, and she embarasses her state by defending the indefensible. Well, at least she's true to her party ...

I don't think it is possible to embarrass okla-homo. these tards are so afraid of their own sexuality they think their homophobia is masculine.

yeah, she said most oklahomans share her conservative viewpoint, and i think she's probably right. there surely has to be a good portion in that state who have somewhat modern, progressive ideals, but i bet more of them agree with her. otherwise, there'd be major outrage coming from within the state.

maybe i'm behind, but so far i haven't heard much objection from any of em. the fools.

Stop that. There is no goodness in stereotyping the entire population of a state as homophobic and bigoted. Your comment is divisive and repugnant.

Maxipad, YOU ARE STILL AT THIS??

I have just returned to the site after a hiatus of some months. And of course, here you are with your EXACT SAME refrain:

Left wing obsession with Hollywood, and homosexuality is fascinating.

Left wing obsession with Hollywood, and homosexuality is fascinating.

Left wing obsession with Hollywood, and homosexuality is fascinating.

Left wing obsession with Hollywood, and homosexuality is fascinating.


You don't need the comma.

You do need to realize that soundbite deflection tactics don't work.

You do need to look in the mirror to see who is hopelessly obsessed.

You do need to say something that shows some thought once in a while.

You do need to admit that hypocrisy runs rampant within the right wing, especially among the religious wrong.

Otherwise you might consider going back to your drug store shelf. Kotex and Depends must miss your enlightening thoughts and wit.

We wouldn't.

Oh? They're just as self-righteous as the SIDE they declaim. Both are intent on browbeating those in the middle into committing to a version of consensus. Bores, the lot....!

No, actually. The left wing is at ease with Hollywood, homosexuality, and heterosexuality. The right wing is obsessed.

No, the bigoted witch doesn't deserve to die.

She does, however, deserve to be visited by the ghost of Matthew Shepard every night of her life.

Too bad their worrying about death threats against her when it's people like her that create a climate that puts gay people's lives and safety at risk. This never seems to end in this country. 30 years ago Anita Bryant was peddling the same paranoid hate.

"This never seems to end in this country. 30 years ago Anita Bryant was peddling the same paranoid hate."

That's because their HATEFUL, HOMOPHOBIC HYSTERIA is taught to their offspring. HomoPHOBIA is NURTURE. HomoSEXUALITY is NATURE.

THANKFULLY, the bible-brainwashed bigots are losing their grip on the gays.

Stay safe, healthy and happy,
Love, Loretta
