Reason's Hit & Run blog has a couple of scans of a funny comic book from a homophobic politician who's under fire for abusing his office.

Oklahoma County 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 himself.
You can download the highly entertaining comic book in its entirety here: Brent Rinehart for Oklahoma County Commissioner comic book PDF

    I think Brent Rinehart’s PR spin doctors have just given up on him.

    “Um Mr Rinehart a few questions about your … um leaflet? Did you draw this yourself? Why are the people bobble heads? Why does that woman look like a drag queen? Did you really just have two whole pages dedicated to mocking the local law enforcement? Really? Two pages to openly mock the local police force? Why does that say ‘pedifile’? Ooh paedophile. Is that a boy scout leader wearing a toga? Are you really blaming homosexuals for paedophilia? Have I traveled back to the 1960′s? No? It really is 2008 and you still really believe this? And now you want to xerox this and hand it out to people? Like real life people, ones that can vote?

    Sure whatever. You can hand them out on the street, right next to the other crazy hobo.”

    Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal?

    Adams HE, Wright LW Jr, Lohr BA.

    Department of Psychology, University of Georgia, Athens 30602-3013, USA.

    “The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies.”

    Journal of Abnormal Psychology 1996 Aug;105(3):440-5.

    Is anyone going to point out that the majority of pediphiles are heterosexual males?? To quote a study from 1978, “the adult heterosexual male constitutes a greater risk to the underage child than does the adult homosexual male” (Groth, psychologist). The results from Groth’s study have only intensified over the past 30 yrs, so the comment about gay men and boy scouts is utterly falsified. I just wanted to make that point, in case anyone was interested in the truth.

    It is a shame that the county does not have stronger candidates to run against this idiot. The poor grammar, the “Roads Scholar” is just a joke (Is he trying to confuse people that he is a Rhodes Scholar without holding more than a high school degree? The boy has no concept of the real world.

    He says on his website that his first priority is roads and bridges. Isn’t that very short sited when they do not meet Maslow’s basic needs? I am sure there are much more pressing issues in that county.

    Good luck to the citizens of the county!

    Yes, the Internet can be a pretty scary place sometimes. When people berate me, I find it helps if I look at pictures of unicorns. Those always cheer me up!

    As long as I’m here, I guess I’ll say that Commissioner Rineheart appears to be quite the bigot. If anyone has a problem with me saying that, then address your criticisms to me directly. Chromal isn’t involved, so please don’t pick on him. Also don’t pick on the people whose nerves are so frazzled that they can’t even post to the thread. Thanks in advance!

  • fredblotnic

    I work for Oklahoma county where this guy is a commissioner. Let me start out by stating that he is an absolute NUTCASE with a capital N. He has been one of the worst trouble makers My County office has ever seen. The sheriff mentioned in the article and in the comic bought patrol cars using Grant money not money from the County General fund and was chastised for it. Oklahoma County is the largest in the state. As a result of that Oklahoma county has been growing and the law enforcement in the unincorporated areas has an increased presence. He also stated in the comic he came up with the idea of a business plan and hired a business planner, that was absolutely false. The idea of a business plan was started before he was even a commissioner. He is close to being put in jail for a while for both the State charges of campaign fraud but also tax evasion by the IRS. This guy is absolutely an irritating jerk who I hope soon gets ousted even if it means they have to write a law to recall him.

  • G_E_Gardner

    Makes me nostalgic for the Comics Code Authority. They wouldn’t have put up with the terrifying scene on page 7 where the zombie lady with her brain protruding through her skull is menacing the malformed children.

    As to Brent’s efforts to save fuel, it must have required a fortune in jet fuel for the air force to teach a guy with such a disproportionately large head and arm to fly civilian passenger aircraft, as seen on page 2.

    I like the idea of holding public crucifixions within viewing distance of a ferris wheel. That’ll keep those damn gay democrat fairground visitors from even thinking about commiting an “abominable crime against nature.” (Page 3.)

    Speaking of which… “active Christian?” Is that anything like ‘passive Greek?’

    The most incredible thing is that he hired somebody to draw like that. This is what Bernard Kliban called “Nephew Art,” but I’m guessing he paid money for it, or at least bought pizza.

    After that, I wouldn’t hire the guy to clap erasers together behind the school.

    Too bad they had to leave the bottom of the last page blank for mailing purposes. I’ll bet that’s where it originally said, “I’m Jesus Christ, and I approve this message!”

    What’s even weirder/scarier is the thought that there may be people out there that read this and are convinced to vote for him afterward.

  • Kabur Naj

    @#79: Thanks for that clarification. It’s pretty obvious from the cartoon that Rinehart is no Rhodes scholar, but given all the other misspellings I couldn’t quite tell if *some* sort of affiliation was being claimed, honestly or otherwise.

    #85: Yeah, this comic is the first cultural reference that I’ve ever seen where “good ol’ boy” wasn’t synonymous with “redneck conservative”. Any Oklahomans out there care to weigh in on whether it’s local slang for “fatcat politician” or whether it’s just one more example of the candidate being out of touch?

    @#68: I haven’t really read any campaign propaganda before, but if this isn’t badly written as an example of such literature, then we should all take a hard look at how the American system attempts to implement democracy. This particular tract seems written primarily with the intent to rile up his supporters into a brainless ecstasy of solidarity, and makes no mind about whether it further alienates his non-supporters in the process (them all being unshakeably corrupt politicians or homosexuals, after all). It looks like he’s also trying to make some delusional attempt to get his message out to the undecideds—which is of course the true purpose of campaign literature—but anyone reading it with even half an analytical mind will draw one simple conclusion: “Nutjob!”. Ergo, not well written.

    One small example (out of many): The little guy with the trident displays no coherent motivations of his own, other than being a simple set-piece who keeps yelling “Rinehart, bad!”. If Rinehart actually expects me, as an undecided, to think to myself “Well, Satan doesn’t like him, so he *must* be good.” on the basis of this comic book, then I don’t think he’s fit to hold public office.

    But for sheer entertainment value, it’s pure gold. Like #81, though, I do feel bad for all the sensible Oklahomans, which (I hope!) form a far greater proportion of the population than Rinehart realizes.

  • fredblotnic

    ps the cartoon wasnt drawn by him

    I spell it “pædophile” myself. Most 20th century typesetting kit couldn’t handle digraphs and ligatures so people just dropped the “A” part.

    When I learned to type (in the dark ages, before the Black Ships came and the secret of hose gartering that never ravels was forgotten) we were taught to use a “half backspace” in order to build digraphs. Our cheap machines didn’t have a key for half-backspacing so we had to hold the cylinder with one hand whilst typing the second letter with the other. Usually it worked, unless you sneezed at the wrong moment or something.

    Those were hard times, I tell ya. But I suspect we were still more advanced than this here Rineheart feller, even way back then.

    @93:

    Kabur,

    There has never been a conflation of “good ol’ boy” and homosexuals before in Oklahoma. Rinehart’s totally original on that. My guess is Mr. Rinehart will lose the Republican primary.

    Also note that many of his claims are either exaggerated or egregiously false. His “fight” against the gays included arguing to take down banners for Human Rights Week where the only reference to gays was the small “sponsored by Cimarron Alliance” – a local pro-gay OKC group. His portrayal of the sheriff is libelous when one of his big expenditures was the purchase of several new patrol cars. He really has lost it.

    What a moron… a “pediphile” is someone who has a foot-fetish… I assume he meant “pedophile” which is a fetish for having sex with children… and of course he incorrectly assumes that homosexuality == pedophilia. What a total tool.

    Actually the current nomenclature these seems to be pedophilia for a fixation for sex with children, and podophilia for foot fixation.

    Ignoring the creative spelling, it’s not badly written for what it is. This will be effective with a certain segment of the population. I’m going to give Oklahomans the benefit of the doubt and assume that Reinhart has greatly overestimated the numbers of people who can be influenced this way.

    What a moron… a “pediphile” is someone who has a foot-fetish… I assume he meant “pedophile” which is a fetish for having sex with children… and of course he incorrectly assumes that homosexuality == pedophilia. What a total tool.

    If everyone else in Oklahoma City wasn’t well aware that this guy is a crook, I’d be ashamed to say I live there. As it is, meh. I am a bit curious what Sally Kern thinks about it.
