UN—[CENSORED]—BELIEVABLE!

For the second time this week (that I know about), Oklahoma is again in the spotlight. Earlier this week, it was about a church giving a way an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle at a youth conference. Now, it is one of our own county commissioner’s insane campaign materials garnering attention from those outside the state… again …

Oklahoma County, Oklahoma Commissioner Brent Rinehart is facing a tough reelection campaign.  He’s been accused of abusing his office for personal gain, and will go on trial in the fall on felony campaign finance charges.  But apparently, this is all a conspiracy of homosexuals, liberal do gooders, and good ol’ boys to force Rinehart out of office.  Rinehart lays out his case in a comic book he’s sending out to voters, which—you may be surprised to learn—he wrote and illustrated himself.

Are you ready for this?

For those outside our community who may not have all the background, Jim Roth who is mentioned in the cartoon was one of Rinehart’s fellow county commissioners before he was appointed to the state corporation commission, and he is openly gay. Rinehart, being the close-minded bigot that he is, made this an issue during the time they served together and he is certainly making it a major issue now. Meanwhile, as he points out all the faults of others, he faces felony charges for illegal campaign contribution schemes.

“Let him who is without sign cast the first stone.” Rinehart should definitely drop all those rocks he’s been hurling. You can read more about it here and here.

Unfortunately for the rest of us who call Oklahoma home, there are a sufficient number of idiots, bigots and hatemongers around to make this a regular feature. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Oklahoma, it really is a great place to live and be proud of; we just have more than our fair share of morons crapping on our parade with their idiocy, lunacy and tomfoolery.
