Gay-hating Sally Kern claims SHE'S the victim of hate......
:crazy:


from ThinkProgress:



Kern alleges ‘hate campaign’ backlash after she compared LGBT community to terrorists.»

Earlier this month, Oklahoma state legislator Sally Kern drew well-deserved criticism for an outlandish rant against the gay community, in which she compared homosexuality to “toe cancer” and said “it’s the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam.” Now, Kern is saying that she is the target of a “hate campaign” as result of of her comments. “They haven’t just attacked me - they’ve attacked my family, they attacked the Bible, they’ve attacked Christianity,” Kern told CNSNews. Kern claims that her words were distorted:

“They made it sound like I was spewing hate and talking in one long rant against homosexuals,” Kern told Cybercast News Service. “I would never do that. I have never done that.”


One supporter of Kern, Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, has “accused Kern’s attackers of being ‘terrorists.’”

3. Aw, poor Sally. Apparently she "never anticipated" that she would
be in for a severe backlash after making such a comparison. :nopity:

4. "Hate begets hate."
Maybe she'll understand that--it has a more biblical tone to it.

5. I hope the pressure keeps on until she's forced out...
That kind of hatefulness should not be tolerated. She should be made the poster child for bigotry, fear-mongering and just outright willful ignorance.

7. Yeah, I know...
Inhofe and Nickles...Okies, too. They can be beaten, but the dems won't take that extra step in states like Oklahoma.
