GOP Senate Candidate Warns of Lesbianism
GOP Senate Candidate Warns of Lesbianism

The Republican Senate candidate in Oklahoma warns of "rampant" lesbianism in some schools in the state in a tape released Monday by his Democratic opponent.

The remark by Republican Tom Coburn drew a skeptical response from state educators.

"I don't believe that," said Keith Ballard, executive director of the Oklahoma State School Boards Association. He said the group's attorneys "haven't said anything to me about that."

In the tape released by the campaign of Brad Carson, the Democratic candidate, Coburn says a campaign worker from Coalgate told him that "lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in southeast Oklahoma that they'll only let one girl go to the bathroom. Now think about it. Think about that issue. How is it that that's happened to us?"

3. Ah, yes... we all know the evils of lesbians lurking in bathrooms
to snatch unwary young girls. Especially in Oklahoma...I've heard it's quite a hotbed of them. :P

4. And he implies that they are at risk for being molested. How vile.
Apparently terrorism wasn't creating enough fear. Had to go to the next threat on the list. I can't stomach the fact that our country is being taken over by these assholes.

5. ROFL!!!
What?? Only let 1 girl go to the bathroom at a time? What are they saying - that "lesbianism" is catchable, like the flu or something?? Gee - I've got blue eyes... if I go to the bathroom at the same time as folks with brown eyes, maybe I'll catch those, too.

8. Oh, had to go there...
I can just imagine what those horrible people are saying over in freeperville about her having cancer, if their reaction to Christopher Reeve's passing is any indication...

10. Hate radio host says Melissa should have had a man massaging her breasts
then maybe she wouldn't have developed cancer. This hate radio jock is also from Oklahoma!

12. I'm sorry for the folks in Oklahoma...
But, anyone with a shred of intelligence wouldn't be listening to such utter stupidity...

9. You made me swallow my mint

13. Looking for love in all the wrong places
To think that I've spent so many years of my life searching for lesbians in New York City and San Francisco and Chicago, but they were all partying in Okalahoma instead! Who knew?

14. Oklahoma is known as the 'Sodom of the Midwest'
in fundie circles.
It is Lesbian city. Puts the Village and San Fran to shame.

15. By the way...
What does a "rampant" lesbian look like? Are they related to Lipstick Lesbians? Just wondering. I've led a sheltered life and only know average un-rampant lesbians.

16. Traditionally, a "rampant" lesbian is running, naked, across a field
According to my book of heraldry.

Gotta look out for those Amazon Women, though. According to my book of heraldry they are a serious problem in the state of Virginia, where they grind the unfortunate men of the state under their bootheels.

20. Ah, that would not be me, then
>> a "rampant" lesbian is running, naked, across a field <<

My rampant days are definitely over. I'm more like a "rumpled" lesbian, trudging across a field, dressed in flannel shirt and jeans.

18. I think it's a heraldic term...
you know, like nobility uses to describe their coats of arms. Example: "Vert, a lesbian rampant azure, embossed or"

19. Ooo, that embossing has got to hurt...
especially if one is rampant at the time.

Vert? I think I knew her back in college....

21. If you think embossing hurts...
you should try being "caparisoned". I mean, everyone should do it once, just to say they have, but you should really brace yourself, or "self anesthetize" with a little single-malt scotch....

17. To Paraphrase Margaret Thatcher,
"Admittedly, we may have a problem with homosexuality in this country,
but there is NOT ONE LESBIAN in all of Oklahoma!"

(Cross out Oklahoma with England and you have her actual statement) :evilgrin:
