Here....

It seems like Oklahoma Gays have the choice between two bigots. Carson's campaign has distributed anti-gay flyers at Leviticus Crowd Rallies. James Dobson, Gary Bauer and the White Supremacists are pushing for Coburn - and gay baiting Carson.

After Hard News Online published their editorial condemning Carson, Lee Coleman wrote the Carson campaign. The campaign responded.

In my never ending quest for exposure of the real deal in politics, I'm posting a response I just got from the Brad Carson campaign to some of the nonsense being broadcast about him and his attitudes on gays and lesbians. The difference between him and Coburn on gays and lesbians is profound: Coburn is a bitter opponent while Carson is not. -- Lee Coleman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Congressman Carson has stated that what goes on in people's bedrooms is a private matter. He believes that marriage should be between a man and a woman and he has voted to uphold that belief.

I hope you'll take a look at the rest of Brad Carson's policies, and while you may disagree with some of them I hope you'll find that you share common ground. Please take a look at Brad Carson's plans for the economy, health care, education, veterans, and other important issues on the website at www.bradcarson.com.

I also encourage you to look at our opponent's record. We believe Tom Coburn will take Oklahoma in a radical direction, away from what is best for our state. Tom Coburn has stated that homosexuality is the single greatest threat to our nation and he has repeatedly claimed that gay men are not monogamous but have more than 100 partners per year. We sincerely hope that you will not miss the opportunity to support a moderate Oklahoman over a man who even fellow Republicans have called "outrageous" "offensive" and "bent." Most importantly, I hope you will know that you and your views will always have a voice with a candidate who bases his decisions on debate and belief, rather than the bald ideology exhibited by our opponent.

Sincerely,
Blaine Greteman
Policy Director
Carson for Senate
