I wish you could've met my mom. Maybe she could've guided you in how a real Christian should be acting and speaking.

Gays are a threat? To what exactly?

They are a threat to poor decorating.

Has Ms. Kern suffered any repercussions from her statements yet? I'm curious what her constituency is saying about this.

 
Accolade 2008-03-14 03:58:29 PM  
Voted up! Go green!

 
dgc360 [TotalFark] 2008-03-14 04:38:37 PM  
one more vote to make this green.

well said, kid.

Chances are they agree with it... they voted her dumb ass in anyway.

*agree with her statement, not the student's.

That letter really got me. I'm trying my hardest not to say "string Sally Kern up by her toes" and instead just hope she loses re-election.

That was a fantastic letter and I hope it gets wide circulation.

 
Hetfield 2008-03-14 08:51:30 PM  
Ooh, good one! Especially loved this part:

Your harsh words and misguided beliefs brought me to tears, because you told me that my mother's killer was a better person than a group of people that are seeking safety and tolerance for themselves.

Smart kid.

A few grammatical quirks aside, it's well written.

mamoru [TotalFark] 2008-03-15 05:23:01 AM  
The very heartfelt content of the letter is the only thing keeping me from going grammar nazi on this kid's ass. If he intends to grow up to be a writer, he might want to look into getting an editor.

However, generally speaking, well-said kid.

However, with a name like "Tucker" there really should have been at least one "bow chicka bow wow" in there, shouldn't there?

 
Broadcastdave [TotalFark] 2008-03-15 06:43:23 AM  
His mom deserved to die for naming her kid Tucker.

 
monty666 [TotalFark] 2008-03-15 07:07:14 AM  
I wish you could have met my mom. She had the most generous soul. Me and my sister would go out drinking in our teens and she would be there in the morning cooking breakfast for us and whichever strays came in after us.

She took everyone as they were. I try to be as good as she was.

She's not an appeaser. She's not going to give in to the gay agenda. Like that Chamberlain fellow.

Jesus, those comments under that article are hilarious. I love the guy talking about how he doesn't want gays in Oklahoma because they'll drive the price of real estate down just like they did in San Francisco.

Comment#3
My religion is Capitalism. Any activity that affects cash flow or
drives the price of real estate down is my only care,
As far as radicals. Barracks preacher is being interviewed while I write this. He makes Sally Kern look as an angel.
Making lower South Tulsa, BA,Bixby,Jenks another San Francisco
is bad for business. First it starts with holding hands ,then wanting to get married,The next thing is Radical Militant homosexuals behaving as the do in San Fran. No one wants to live around that nonsense. Drives prices of homes down like having
crack heads moving next door.
With that being said,
SALLY KERN FOR GOVERNOR!!!!!!
If a vote was taken today in Oklahoma
She would certainly win.


I'm going to say that I think this was a troll. One worthy of Fark!

I'm waiting for Ann Coulter, network news she-male, to point out it's time for the Oklahoma City bombing victims to quit playing the victim card.

/'It's time to invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity'

Ann Coulter on Islam

I'm a closeted fundamentalist, so I'm getting a kick totally offended by these replies.

 
Kome [TotalFark] 2008-03-15 10:43:57 AM  
That was a surprisingly well thought out and touching letter. Odds are Rep. Kerns won't get past the first paragraph before throwing it away.

 
FunkOut [TotalFark] 2008-03-15 10:44:38 AM  
Jeez, the only place I see any gay agenda is on home decorating channels and cat/dog shows. Kerns should quit freaking out every time a rerun of "Will & Grace" comes on.

 
globalwarmingpraiser [TotalFark] 2008-03-15 10:45:48 AM  
Dammit Jon you and I are supposed to disagree.

 
BillyBob_The_Magnificent 2008-03-15 10:47:43 AM  
Another example of why republicans are not really for smaller government.

The need to regulate relationships is a wonderful example of big government.

 
craigdamage 2008-03-15 10:48:37 AM  
How the f*ck do people that goddamned stupid get elected or appointed?

Who are the mongoloids who support dipsh*ts like that?

How can anyone who believes in something so fundamentally wrong and basically idiotic even be a member of a governing body?

Go ahead lemmings--cast your malice against the stupid elected figurehead.

My anger and contempt is for the mongrels who support such asinine venom.

 
Eidolon 2008-03-15 10:49:44 AM  
I thought it was a bit amusing where he cut at her for her lack of Oklahomanness, and where he announced that he was leaving the state for ever, but still, I think my main reaction to the letter could be accurately summed up as "Oh, snap."

I can't find the original Fark posting of the speech, but there was a link to the newspaper there with reader comments. They were almost 100 percent in favor of this coont, with stupid phrases like "you go girl!" Then, of course, the comments from Farkers started pouring in....

 
Nicotinus 2008-03-15 10:51:05 AM  
Well said, kid.

 
robolobo 2008-03-15 10:52:09 AM  
Can someone answer me this question?

Is the fact that we have retards in office due to:
1) voters being really retarded, or
2) only retarded candidates enter/complete the process to be eligible for election?

 
zymurgist 2008-03-15 10:52:11 AM  
Damn near brought tears to my eyes. Politicians really don't have a clue that they hurt real people when they use extremist rhetoric.

It's all about where people put their love nubbins.

This just in: Kerns' son isn't really gay (new window).

On Thursday, Rep. Kern said her son is not gay. She said he is artistic, very musical and not one to play on the football team.

So, umm, you're saying he's gay.

 
Archae hippy 2008-03-15 10:52:35 AM  
Broadcastdave: His mom deserved to die for naming her kid Tucker.

At least in the Northeast, Tucker is often an nickname, not a given name. If i recall, it is often given to anyone with a "III" after their name. (I guess you need a nickname if your name is the same as your father's and grandfather's).

and about Tucker's letter, good on ya.

bGizzy: Looks like we have a frontrunner for the Tom Santorum douchebag fearmonger of the year award.

I think you mean Rick Santorum, but yes, I think we have a weiner.

I wonder how the party of personal responsibility will spin this one to claim the Liberal Media twisted her words out of context and tried to demonize poor sweet Rep. Kerns.
