Charlie Meadows, chairman of the Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee, said Monday he won't apologize for using the words to describe Democrat Brittany Novotny, a lawyer from Bethany, who is challenging Kern in the Nov. 2 general election.

"I could have used the word eunuch, but the word 'it' was not intended to be derogatory," Meadows said. "It is simply intended to describe really what she is now."

How is it that these "public servants" can express prejudiced and bigoted statements without serious repercussions?  Maybe our Commander in Chief needs to slap her down!

After living in Oklahoma for seven years ... I can honestly say it's a whole different world down there.

The state health requirments states that homesexual is mainly transmitted between gay men is required to be taught.  It's craziness.

"I have never referred to my opponent in such a manner and never will," Kern wrote. "I have repeatedly asked my supporters not to use any degrading or insulting comments toward my opponent. While Charlie has the right to his freedom of speech that in no way means he should use that right in a degrading way."/3494773#ixzz0zWSzyuou

So I guess it's not degrading or insulting to talk about the "gay agenda."

Okay, my mission in life is to seek out heterosexual women and convince them that they are really gay men in the wrong bodies. How's that for a gay agenda, Ms. Kern?
