I heard that

This member of the Oklahoma State Legislature thought that only 50 people heard her speak… This is what “They say” when “they” think “we’re” not listening:
Gays are infiltrating city councils!… They are winning elections. They are worst than terrorists!
I’m torn… It’s believable - having heard such speeches in the past. But it would have helped if the Victory Fund had said her name instead of “this member of the legislature…”
I want to blog it, but without names or dates “we” don’t even if this person is still in office. (This sounds like one of the loonies that got elected in the “Contract With America” election in 1994.)
In the same way that the speaker was citing baseless facts in order to stir up support from her constituency, the Victory Fund is, by not using her name, dates or pictures, using the same tactic.
Left and Right mirror each other. It’s scary.
Update: the Victory Fund does have reasons why. Not good. But reasons.
The Rep is Sally Kerns.
