She's baaaaaack

Oklahoma State Rep. Sally Kern wants to be re-elected and she's hoping her homophobia will help seal the deal.

During an debate wth her opponent Ron Marlett she declared homosexuals were a bigger threat to America than terrorism.

"It's a moral decay that's going to destroy our nation from within," she said. "While terrorism has killed more than 3,000 people, in the continental United States in the last 15 years, homosexual behavior has killed more than 100,000. It's a danger to life. It is a danger to health."

"To compare certain members of our community to a cancer that might need to be removed is chilling to me," Marlett countered.

"I promise to be a conservative, and I've kept my promise," Kern said.

Guess she also promised to be stupid.
