This is too ridiculous to be true, but it happened in Oklahoma -- so all bets are off.

Oklahoma County Commissioner Brent Rinehart is taking heat for an anti-gay comic book.

It's so stupid that it's sort of funny. And not only does he misspell "pedophile", he doesn't care that he can't spell it. Which explains a lot.

I wouldn't know what to say to that, other than to hand him a mirror. :-P

I can't believe he's trying to justify that comic. I hope that interview shows the people of Oklahoma and the world what a douche he is.

Pedifile = foot fetishist? That was all I could think of.

I agree—so sad it's funny, in a Daily Show sort of way: We couldn't make this shit up, but I sure wish we had to.

Yes, I saw this on the local news. He keeps saying that it was a joke and wasn't meant to be taken seriously, but...

...mostly he's just a fucking jackass.

There are some people who are proud to be from Oklahoma, and they love our state. I am not one of those people. Jesus. I couldn't even finish watching that. I think what scares me is that he was elected to an office. I don't even have words for how ignorant people are.

PS: The icon speaks to the video. I don't get a chance to use it very often.

Wow, you would think that he would at least know how to spell pedophile...I mean if you're going to vomit your opinions, at least do it with an understanding of basic spelling.
Also, I've never heard anyone sound so unintellegent while trying to defend blind homophobia. (and homophobia is pretty common in my neck of the woods)

OMMFG!

I am aware that in my sub-culture I am very insulated. I'm a Goth, and most of us are pretty open to whomever you care to sleep with. I don't associate with the general public as a rule. So, I truly FORGET sometimes how crazy people are out there. It boggled my mind how he deflected the subject of HIS wrong-doing 3 times with reference to the "homosexual agenda"Thank you, Ms. Emma, for keeping my eyes open! I can always depend on you to give me information I need to know!

... there are no words.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did I understand that this comic was actually distributed to people's homes??? WHAT THE HELL?!

the first glimpse of the comic page (in the first few seconds), it definitely says anal sodomy. isn't that kind of, I dunno, redundant?

It's stuff like this that makes me thank the lord my parents moved away from Tulsa shortly before I turned two years old. The things that man spews make even relatively conservative upstate New York seem like a haven of liberalism.

I'm still confused how this guy got into government, he doesn't seem very smart or literate.

Stupid people abound, sadly. (If you saw the link I posted to the gun control "debate" I was in, you would see why I feel so strongly about that atm).

I can't imagine he is taken too seriously, though the culture of that area is unknown to me. So, that would surly make a differnce.

So, to sum up, what a fucking tool.

He sent this to people in the mail?!? Seriously? Can we send him gay porn in the mail?

"The issues at hand are roads and bridges and the homosexual agenda."

Awesome. In Idaho a few years ago our school superintendent won with an anti-gay marriage campaign. Because, if you want to run all the schools the important thing is that gay people don't get married. Serious asshattery.

LOL. I admit, when I saw the title of your post I had an, "I have exactly the right icon for this!" moment.

You will be pleased to know, this idiot will not be returning for another term. He lost to 2 other candidates that will have a runoff in August. :)

What an idiot. He's against homosexuality, but doesn't know the meaning of homophobic. How do tthese kinds of people end up as leaders of our country?
