		<description>This story of Sally Kern simply becomes more bizarre by the day.

From Tulsa World &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;I&gt;... Kern&#039;s assistant said the lawmaker had &quot;left for the day because she did not have any committee meetings.&quot;

Kern said later that she would be willing to meet next week with two or three people representing the gay and lesbian community.

&quot;I&#039;d have no problem meeting with them next week when I have my lawyer,&quot; she said. &lt;strong&gt;Kern said she is working with a lawyer from the Thomas More Law Center&lt;/strong&gt; based in Ann Arbor, Mich. The law center described as a conservative Christian center has offices throughout the country.&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;[Emphasis mine]

Now the Thomas More Law Center has issued a news release asserting that Kern was secretly taped. First, Kern is an elected official. Second, Kern herself has said this was a public event. The spin of the Thomas More Law Center to paint Kern as a beseiged Christian being persecuted and other distorted lunacies trul is breathtaking. (But in reality, nothing new from them we haven&#039;t all heard before.)

		<description>I find it amazing that within Sally’s speech she blasted the so-called “Gay Agenda”, but as yet, no one has called her to task on HER radical agenda. To help clarify things, I give you Sally Kern’s Agenda (satire)
7:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. - Hate gays
10:30 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. - break (read another chapter of Mein Kampf)
10:45 a. m. - 12:30 p.m. - Hate Muslims
12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. - Visit Mr Serge’s House of Hair. (thank God he knows his place, and isn’t one of those “uppity dandy’s”)
1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. - Generalized hate
2:30 p.m. - 2:45 p.m. - Break (browse through “Gay Conspiracy Theory Monthly”)
2:45 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. Introduce bill to rename Oklahoma “Jesusland”
3:15 p.m. - 3:45 p.m. - Find some children. Poison minds.
3:45 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. - Hate anyone who isn’t exactly like ME
4:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. - Book “Sally Kerns’ Hate-o-Rama” speaking tour.
5:00 p.m. - 5:15 p.m. - Send love note to Rev. Fred Phelps (he’s just dreamy)
5:15 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. - Hate Muslims and Gays evening gathering.
11:00 p.m. -11:15 p.m. - Thank MY Jesus (not that pansy “Love everybody” Jesus, but the “hate everybody who isn’t like ME” Jesus) for another productive and fulfilling day.</description>

		<description>&#039;What is truly outrageous is that a Christian elected official can be vilified over simply speaking about the Bible&#039;s view of homosexuality.&#039;

OK, seriously, where in the Bible says it that homosexuals are worse than terrorists, that they are after our children, or that societies that embrace homosexuality are to be wiped out in, you know, a couple decades?

Chapter and verse, please.</description>

		<description>Sally Kern on &quot;militant homosexual activists&quot;:&lt;blockquote&gt;biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Gary Schneeberger, vice president for media relations at Focus on the Family Action, on the approval of Kern&#039;s statement&#039;s:&lt;blockquote&gt;Besides, if I had a cup of water for every time some journalist, pundit or elected official compared evangelical conservatives to the Taliban, I could fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

They&#039;re worse than homosexual activists I tell ya. Worse!</description>

		<description>Here is the part of the Focus on the Family piece that gets me:

&quot;Besides, if I had a cup of water for every time some journalist, pundit or elected official compared evangelical conservatives to the Taliban, I could fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool.&quot;

Well when you say that gays are trying to harm two-year-olds and don&#039;t provide any proof of your charges, are we supposed to congratulate you? Give you an award?

I suppose that&#039;s the game plan they are going to take. Never mind about her comments, just the lie that she received death threats.

We can probably expect a piece in One News Now any day now.</description>
