via time: brent rinehart is running for reelection as a county commissioner in oklahoma county. that’s in oklahoma. oklahoma city, to be exact.
why should you care?
you shouldn’t, except that he’s distributing the funniest, most over-the-top campaign literature you can imagine. it’s a comic book he wrote himself.
but richie rich or archie it ain’t.
from the associated press article on the subject:
Some Oklahoma County voters can expect to receive comic books in the mail soon, but the subject matter will have a serious tone.
The 16-page publication prepared by Commissioner Brent Rinehart’s re-election campaign lampoons gays and criticizes Rinehart’s political opponents. It also features an angel who supports the embattled commissioner and Satan, who supports his critics.
“It’s more or less a story of my experiences of the last four years of being the county commissioner of District 2,” Rinehart told The Oklahoman, which obtained the comic on Wednesday.
Toga-wearing gays, political figures, trench coat-clad henchmen, concerned residents and Rinehart make up the rest of the comic’s characters.
In one sequence,
Satan says: “If I can get the kids to believe homosexuality is normal!”The angel replies: “Hey Satan, not with Brent around you won’t!”
the comic book must be seen to be believed. it’s a must-read.
perhaps we should introduce mr. rinehart to larry craig or mark foley, two other crusaders on the evils of homosexuality.
