Oklahoma’s Inhofe launches homophobic campaign

[ccharles000]

(Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe has a reputation for tough campaign tactics, as his Democratic challenger is finding out the hard way.

An Inhofe ad being carried on Oklahoma television stations contains anti-gay overtones, showing a wedding cake topped by two plastic grooms and a photo of the Democratic candidate as a young man, curly haired and wearing a leather jacket.

Andrew Rice has responded with a commercial saying the attacks are “not true” and an indication Inhofe will do anything to keep his job, while avoiding talking about such issues as energy and the economy.

“He’s trying to morph me into something I’m not. What he’s doing is attacking my character,” Rice said Wednesday of the ad, which calls Rice “too liberal for Oklahoma.”

Inhofe said the ad is accurate. He pointed to news stories that Rice, before he became a state senator in 2006, founded a group that opposed a constitutional amendment to bar same-sex marriages.

1. Isn't this the same person who voiced concern over "lesbian gangs" menacing Oklahoma?

Sometimes I think Ohio is full of dumb-f*ck crackers.. then I think of Oklahoma.

2. That would be the other nutjob Senator from Oklahoma.

The one who sterilized a girl because her mother wanted him to, without the girl's permission.

3. I wonder if he is still outraged over the outrage about torture

This is one guy I would really really love to see gone.
