Last week, a secret recording emerged of a disturbing speech by Oklahoma Representative Sally Kern stating that homosexuality is a bigger threat to our nation than "terrorism or Islam." Rep. Kern has refused to apologize for her remarks.
She also said:
"They're going after two year olds...."
"Eureka Springs is now controlled by gays ... and a lot of places in Florida"
Hard to believe. But hearing is believing:
The Human Rights campaign has a petition for you to sign.

I hate to risk the possibility of waking the Hitler Zombie, but in this case I think it's warranted.
Do crackpots like Kern ever listen to themselves? Do they realize how much their rhetoric sounds like 1930's Nazi rhetoric?
Especially this crap about recruiting (or corrupting) the young. Same script with "homosexual" substituted for "Jew."
Mind boggling how some people never learn.

No, I think Godwin's law needs a loophole for cases just like this one.

Very sneaky but I am glad it came out. This is prob. not at all unusual for what is spoken daily behind closed doors, in secret.
