In today's Oklahoman, there is a story about one of Sally Kern's supporters calling her opponent, Brittany Novotny, a confused "It." Here's a snippet:
State Rep. Sally Kern, known for her anti-gay comments, says she regrets one of her supporters called her opponent "” Oklahoma's first openly transgender candidate "” a "confused it."
Charlie Meadows, chairman of the Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee, said Monday he won't apologize for using the words to describe Democrat Brittany Novotny, a lawyer from Bethany, who is challenging Kern in the Nov. 2 general election.
"I could have used the word eunuch, but the word 'it' was not intended to be derogatory," Meadows said. "It is simply intended to describe really what she is now."
Asked if he would apologize, Meadows said: "Absolutely not. To people that live in the realm of political correctness someone such as myself who's rather plainspoken probably is always offensive. It was nothing derogatory in my heart or mind toward this individual. I'm just not politically correct; I'm just plainspoken.""¦
