Poor, sad, one-track minded Sally Kern.
The Oklahoma City politico simply can't think past the gays and our allegedly immoral ways. Debating opponent Ron Marlett last week, Kern, who caught national flack this year for launching a rhetorical jihad against the gays, cemented her political standing in an firmly homophobic platform.
Repeating her assertion that same-sex lovers are a "moral decay that's destroying our nation from within," Kern also made the outlandish claim that we gays are the greatest threat facing the US of A:
When asked about the biggest threat facing the United States, Marlett said it was dependence on foreign oil. Kern said it was homosexuality."While terrorism has killed more than 3,000 people, in the continental United States in the last 15 years, homosexual behavior has killed more than 100,000," she said. "It's a danger to life. It is a danger to health."
…
"Our county is united pretty much against terrorism, but homosexuality is being promoted in schools and by the government," said Kern.
Marlett, who has our hypothetical vote, described Kern's cancer remark as "chilling." We also think it's quite childish.

Is this mad bitch for real???
In the UK she'd be run out of town! Or be a muslim or a member of an extreme right wing, fascist, party.
The "Republican" party of the United States has become an extreme right wing, fascist, party. Much unlike Republicans of old that fought against slavery and for black rights, today's modern Republicans have no semblance of their old counterparts.
Sally Kern is the "NEW" face of today's Republican party. It would not surprise me to see her as the Vice-Presidential nominee in 2012.
California – Vote "NO" on Prop. 8!
Arizona – Vote "NO" on Prop. 102! AGAIN!
Florida – Vote "NO" on Amendment 2!
Is this hateful sow really hurting anyone more than her state? It certainly reinforces my prejudice that Oklahoma is a mugwump, backward wasteland.
Well LOOK at her…she is SCREAMING "Repressed Dyke" she needs some stone butch lady to lick some sense into her.
surprise, surprise.
annnnd, girl SURE could use a makeover, in every way.
Sally professes that gay people are a much bigger threat than foreign terrorism. OK….will someone PLEASE ask her what her solutions are for ending this threat?? I would love to hear her solutions! Does she want to arrest all of us? Does she want to round us all up like we did Japanese Americans during World War II and put us into camps? Does she want to forcibly take our children from us and hand them over to foster parents? Force her to defend her solutions!
You are all being very cruel to Churchill-y's mom…
She obviously has ISSUES….I read somewhere that one of her sons is gay. It's quite apparent this fact is tormenting her and it's all she can think about ALL THE TIME. Sad really.
Personally, I think she meant that the homosexual lifestyle is hazardous to those who live it – and not the wider population. I mean, when you think about, AIDS and drugs have riddled the gay community and brought down the life expectancy for the average gay man dramatically. not to mention all the suicides. so she has a valid point in saying that it is a danger to life.
Hey Tallskin,
Not every muslim is some horrible homophobic extremist. Check urself.
I wonder if I'll be able to board a plane after these remarks are more well publicized. I've never considered myself a bigger threat than terrorists, but really, who am I to contradict?
/snark
MEN-SAR, your comments would also apply to the world's population in general:
"I mean, when you think about, AIDS and drugs have riddled the gay community" [And certain countries]
… not to mention all the suicides [Sweden and Ukraine say hi - or rather BYE!].
why does she look like a dyke?
I think Adolf would be quite proud of Sally. Read back several months ago to her comments and speeches and you will find a chilling similarity to those of Hitler when he was trying to come into power.
Adolf struggled to find a target that would bring him enough support to gain control of Germany. And as everyone knows, Hitler succeeded in convincing most of the population the biggest danger to the security of Germany was the Jews.
There were those who thought Adolf was crazy, but not much of a danger. We all know how that turned out,…
Anyone here who thinks that all gay people are on drugs and have permiscuious sex are wrong. I am in a lesbian monogomous relationship. Please stop generalizing and stereotyping.
