OK. Politico To Publish Anti-Gay Comic
 
 

thinggif.jpeg
Brent Rinehart takes gay-baiting to a whole new level. The Oklahoma County Commissioner, who is running for reelection, will reportedly publish a 16-page comic book in which a cast of characters battle the ever-worrisome homos:

The 16-page comic book makes fun of homosexuals and criticizes Rinehart's political opponents. It features a man and woman admiring Rinehart's often-controversial political career."

An angel and Satan, as well as "toga-wearing gays, political figures, and trench coat-clad henchmen" figure among the comic book's characters in the odd re-election campaign propaganda:

"In one sequence, Satan says: 'If I can get the kids to believe homosexuality is normal!' The angel replies: 'Hey Satan, not with Brent around you won't!' Rinehart said he doesn't think the depiction is inappropriate and that he is proud of the comic.

This man's obviously severely mentally disturbed.

This guy is nuts. it takes a two-second google search to realize that. pulled from a OK City paper:
County Assessor Leonard Sullivan said the pictures aren't out of character for Rinehart, who faces multiple felony counts including money laundering and perjury related to his 2004 commissioner campaign.
"There just doesn't seem to be any end to the embarrassment he brings to Oklahoma County government,” Sullivan said.

The pics in question are of him 'cavorting' with a number of young women and holding a beer. They showed up on a local political blog. he seems to be an ego maniac seeking attention. The 'comic' attacks queers, along with other local politicians he is feuding with since his being dumped from his councilman gig.
i only mention this to point out that queers aren't the only target for his insanity. I don't know why that makes me feel better…?

What's scarier, him or that there are people who vote for him? Are there really that many homos in Oklahoma that he has to write this crap? That must explain all those tornadoes god sends to kill the homos. Maybe they will change the name to Oklahomo.

I am so sick of these backward asswipes.

Good lord…i seriously need to finish writing my gay pride comic book. maybe I can turn Brent into a villain…
Nah, he's not worth the ink.

OMG i just looked at the images of the pages…that's no comic book, It's not even fit to be called a political cartoon. It's like a bad charicature artist with 5th grade reading level was drawing on the back of his book cover.

Don't judge all Oklahoman's by one vile egomaniac, or even two counting Sally Kern. We are not all like him, nor do we share any of his views. We are not all "asswipes".
Some of us are proud and Gay and vote Democrat.

My personal favorite: The "We're here, we're queer get use [sic] to it" sign being held by someone whose face you can't see, but judging by his clothes is clearly Peter Pan. I guess Spongebob and Tinky-Winky were off having hot fictional character sex and couldn't take part in the protest.

Key(#11), as a gay Democratic Texan I sympathize. :)

You have to admit, though: the idea that Oklahoma, of all states, is run by homosexual "good-ol-boys" as the comic alledges is hysterical.

I printed up a copy of his comic as a security measure. When something this STUPID and HATEFUL is given internet scrutiny, they invariably disappear. I do feel bad a tree died to provide paper to print this horse sh*t on.

I can't recall the lesbian stand up comic's name, she teases she looks like an Eskimo man. Her routine talks about LOSER States, "I won't name names, but it rhymes with shmoklahoma"

Oklahoma does indeed have a lot of gays, and a powerful activist group that undoubtedly is working hard to counteract idiots such as this.

Michael,
Don't work too hard to counteract this idiot, just give him another two years to write the sequel, and give his "illustrator" a new box of crayons.

What I find most disturbing about this, is that this is an ELECTED official we are talking about. If he were to make a similar comic book saying the same thing about fat people, handicapped people, latinos or any other group that apparently does not fit into his narrow, bigoted view of the world he would be removed from office and raked over the coals. However, because it is gay people he chooses to attack it is OK, and probably even earned him a few "good one" back slaps from his no doubt slack-jawed, under-read, feeble minded redneck huntin' buddies. I rest easy and confident that there is a special place in hell for people like him and that Sally Kern.

This comic book is.. laughable. Not even getting to his political views and behavior, as ANY kind of comic (except bad) it fails. I am gay, and were I in Oklahoma I would not be worried in the least about this guy. I would probably print copies for my friends and neighbors. If Napoleon Dynamite had an evil, retarded twin, he could probably give Brent some tips on drawing (I imagine their styles would be similar), and a dictionary (so he can spell words like 'pedophile'). This comic looks like what a failing high school student would do (as a prank) to get out of an assignment.
