Coburn’s Hypocrisy A Crying Shame
Coburn’s Hypocrisy A Crying Shame
On the Senate floor yesterday, Rep. Tom Coburn (R-OK) broke down, openly weeping:
When I ponder our country and its greatness, its weaknesses, its potential, my heart aches for less divisiveness, less polarization, less finger pointing, less bitterness, less mindless partisanship, which at times sounds almost hateful to the ear of Americans.
Here’s how Tom Coburn has done his part to mend the partisan divide:
Coburn on his 2004 opponent: It’s a “battle of good vs. evil.”
Coburn on the Oklahoma legislature: “You have a bunch of crapheads in Oklahoma City that have killed the vision of anybody wanting to invest in Oklahoma.”
Coburn on doctors: “I favor the death penalty for abortionists and other people who take life.”
Coburn on homosexuality: “The gay community has infiltrated the very centers of power in every area across this country, and they wield extreme power … Why do you think we see the rationalization for abortion and multiple sexual partners? That’s a gay agenda.”
Thank you for your efforts, Sen. Coburn.

“The gay community has infiltrated the very centers of power in every area across this country, and they wield extreme power … Why do you think we see the rationalization for abortion and multiple sexual partners? That’s a gay agenda.†– Rep. Tom Coburn (R-OK)
Damn right, you rightwing asshole and you’d better fear us.
September 13th, 2005 at 11:30 amRepublican, Neocon, whacko, paranoid, hypocrite liars…. what else is new?!
September 13th, 2005 at 11:31 amI think he meant they “wield extreme(ly) powerful (cocks, and I just can’t stop thinking about them).
What a wierdo.
September 13th, 2005 at 11:34 amYet another Republican so very comfortable with his inner hypocrite.
September 13th, 2005 at 11:36 amCoburn on Oscar-winnner Schindler’s List: NBC’s airing of Schindler’s list took television “to an all-time low, with full-frontal nudity, violence and profanity…I cringe when I realize that there were children all across this nation watching this program.”
September 13th, 2005 at 11:37 ami find it difficult to understand how my fellow Americans in Oklahoma can feel comfortable with an extremist like Coburn representing them…do these people really spend their time cowering in a corner holding their Bibles and weeping for morons like Tom Coburn to protect them from the Big, Bad Outside World?
September 13th, 2005 at 11:39 amI kid you not, when I read the word “COBURN”, I automatically think “COCKBURN”.
How do these mentally ill people get jobs? Aren’t they supposed to be bagging groceries at the stores?
September 13th, 2005 at 11:41 am#6 Yes
September 13th, 2005 at 11:46 amI thought maybe it was because he just couldn’t come up with the answer for 8 down on his crossword puzzle..
September 13th, 2005 at 11:51 amChildren get to see full frontal nudity most every morning when they watch mommy and daddy frantically get ready for the workday. Someone please explain to me (I already know, but I’m really curious to read your opinions of this… hopefully hilarious) why these narrow minded republicans are so scared of women’s breasts?!
September 13th, 2005 at 11:55 amSeperation of church and state…..did this dummy ever read that?
September 13th, 2005 at 12:02 pmAfter he and his party have absolutely screwed everything up and people are finally asking why the Republicans have so abysmally failed in their duty to govern, NOW is not the time for finger pointing and divisivness. No, no, no. Can’t we all just get along and play nice? All that stuff about people having doubts about the war hating America and supporting terrorism and allowing gays to be treated like actual people being condemned to hell, and abortionists being shot? Just joshin’ ya’all! It was all a joke! Just funnin’ with ya’all. He’s crying because he can’t believe that people would actually take him seriously.
September 13th, 2005 at 12:03 pmLook, we ALL know what drives homophobes. The louder they HATE FAGS, the more they want them. This guy is so mean and hate filled, it reflects poorly on the state. I sure wish people would do a little more research regarding who they “hire.” You know, CHECK A RESUME or something. I know of which I speak, I’m in TN.
September 13th, 2005 at 12:03 pmCoburn claimed lesbianism was so “rampant†in the public schools that in some schools “they’ll only let one girl go to the bathroom” at a time. School administrators had *no* idea what he was talking about.
September 13th, 2005 at 12:04 pmprogressive and proud is correct.
Just think, homophobic Spokane mayor, Jim West.
September 13th, 2005 at 12:05 pmThis guy makes me sick. Scratch the surface and you’ll find a vile pervert. Nobody fixates on the “gay agenda” like he does.
September 13th, 2005 at 12:16 pmOMFG
I just got a CNN Breaking News e-mail with this body:
“President Bush says he takes responsibility for the federal government’s failures in responding to Hurricane Katrina.”
September 13th, 2005 at 12:22 pmIt’s amazing how practically every republican has been transformed into a Lemming. Nothing gets in the way. Nothing is wrong. All problems eminate from the secular, leftist democrats. All solutions are from the righteous, perfect republicans.
September 13th, 2005 at 12:27 pmAs lies, distortions and dishonesty now trumps the truth, why wouldn’t they play follow-the-leader? It does seem to pay well. Especially when you have an apathetic, ignorant populace whose sole reason for existence seems to be being a good little sheep.
# 17 Spudge… Prez Bush admits to a…. err… uh… mis…. MISTAKE?! It’s the end of the world as we know it!
September 13th, 2005 at 12:31 pmIf that is true then watch for all republicans to come out and take responsibility for something and admit to a mistake. Remember, election ‘06 is coming to a Diebold voting machine near you!
Yea! Diebold.
Here is my take on that. I work in the technology industry. COMPUTERS ARE NOT SAFE.
September 13th, 2005 at 12:33 pmDid you see him doing his crossword puzzle the other day? Hilarious.
September 13th, 2005 at 12:35 pm“Very good pres. except its TO LITTLE TO LATE. Now I must fire you as I take RESPOSIBILITY for my countrys future”
September 13th, 2005 at 12:39 pmSigned: The american public.
Here is the link to Bush admitting failure:
http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/09/13/katrina.washington/index.html
September 13th, 2005 at 12:41 pmThere’s no crying on the Senate floor!!!
September 13th, 2005 at 12:52 pmThanks for the link, Spudge-Boy. Who do you think put the heat on?
September 13th, 2005 at 12:56 pmWith how much power these guys wield, maybe God stepped in and let him know where he is headed when he passes. That is the only thing that I can imagine would make him admit to this.
God or Karl Rove.
September 13th, 2005 at 12:59 pm“Why do you think we see the rationalization for abortion and multiple sexual partners? That’s a gay agenda.”
Um, Why would gay people care about Abortion? Is this irrational or am I just not seeing things with the clarity that he does?
My understanding is that Abortions can be used to terminate unwanted Pregnancies. Unwanted Pregnancies are caused by Heterosexual sex without using Birth Control. Homosexual sex cannot cause Pregnancies.
Therefore, Abortion has nothing to do with any gay agenda. Although it is possible that gay people are generally speaking more supportive of Abortion…
Please, help me, I don’t understand!!!

September 13th, 2005 at 1:03 pmscary,scary,scary!! and to think this maniac is multiplied by the thousands if not millions. i sure wish john q public would start reading and not let the minister decide for them how to vote.
September 13th, 2005 at 1:06 pmFags, baby murderers, chicks with d*cks, men with firm ripe buttocks, bronze skinned pool boys, “Jose”, the cute cashier at the grocery store…………….They’re all the same.
September 13th, 2005 at 1:09 pm#25 – Good one, Rove.
September 13th, 2005 at 2:02 pm#5 Blue Girl, I remember the wacko who made the negative comments about nudity in a film like Schindler’s List – dismissing the film entirely – because of his puritanism. You inform me that it was Coburn! When I add that to the other asinine good vs. evil comments he has made, I am laughing all over again over his hypocritical display of sensitivity and emotion at yesterday’s hearing.
September 13th, 2005 at 2:43 pmMaria and Blue Girl, we will see lot’s more of that kind of junk as these nut job’s on the extreme right make an attempt to seem human and caring. Many are going up for election, I am sure in 06 and want to keep their base with them..Blessings
September 13th, 2005 at 3:10 pmI have always found it odd that he favors the death penalty for doctors that have performed abortions since he himself would be on that list. Being from Muskogee, like Little Tommy Coburn, as he is called in the circle of politicos in Oklahoma, has never hid the fact that he has done an operation that he now advocates putting to death those that have provided a service to their patients. But his blatant hypocrisy is nothing new to people from the old Congressional District 2, he never saw a pork initiative that he didn’t like when in the House. Then he ran for the Senate on a “no more pork” agenda that sounded good to the bumpkins living in the middle of the state, while the folks in the northeast of the state knew his record and overwhelmingly voted for his opponent Brad Carson.
Also, not only does he hate homosexuals, women, and anyone that doesn’t agree with his brand of “conservatism”, but he also referred to treaties the U.S. government has with American Indians as “primitive contracts made with a bunch of monkies”. As one of those “monkies” you can imagine how pleased I am with him representing me in the U.S. Senate.
September 13th, 2005 at 3:14 pmSend Coburn email. Tell him you’re a constituant. Tell him you are ashamed he cried in public. Maybe he’ll go and drown some puppies on the senate floor to get his base back.

September 13th, 2005 at 3:16 pmThis miserable S.O.B. is crying b/c he KNOWS that the reign of neo-conservatism is coming to and end. They can feel it and know that their legacy will be one of utter failure. American was soo much better of before this S.O.B.’s took over…. deep down they know it!
September 13th, 2005 at 3:19 pmP.S. Let us not forget that this is the same Little Tommy Coburn that while in the House of Representatives said he didn’t like the fact that NBC was going to air “Schindlers List” uncut. He disagreed with leaving in the scenes with naked concentration camp victims becasue it might get someone excited seeing all of those naked bodies on the screen and masturbation might ensue. Just think, this goon is just now starting his career in the Senate and even though he has one of the worst approval ratings the idjits here in Oklahoma will vote him back into office purely because he is Southern Baptist and knows how to talk to the rubes in this state.
September 13th, 2005 at 3:20 pmThis wingnut cries easily. When his opponent found out he had performed abortions, Coburn cried on local TV in OK. That probably got him elected.
This guy is a #3 bill who hates everything, even his own mother for having him.
September 13th, 2005 at 3:22 pmDamn my addled aging wits! Yesterday I read an item somewhere among the on-line newspapers and journals that indicated Coburn was working a crossword puzzle during the Roberts hearings, until his moment to weep came up. If I can find it, I’ll return to post the URL.
September 13th, 2005 at 3:24 pmFunny thing is, if he made those comments (doctors,homosexuality) at any reasonabley sized company he’d be in HR explaining his unacceptable behavior.
September 13th, 2005 at 3:36 pmGood point Steven.
September 13th, 2005 at 3:38 pmIsn’t it funny how most of the time those screaming the loudest against homosexuals and homosexuality turn out to be homosexuals themselves?! Or at least (in the closet of course) lean that way?! Amazing!
September 13th, 2005 at 3:42 pmIs the crying a tactic? I’m alittle freaked out.
September 13th, 2005 at 4:43 pm…mmm…tender young bronze man meat…
September 13th, 2005 at 4:44 pmThis a**hole (Coburn)is one of the biggest lightening rods in national politics and he’s whining about division of the country!!! Of course he’s not been involved at all. You’re right we’re sorry, we’ll play by your rules, don’t cry.
September 13th, 2005 at 4:50 pmHow sad that this self loathing closet faggot is CRYING because we are so divided. What a complete piece of shit. If it hurts so much Tom, I offer you my sword. Do the honorable thing and end your pain.
September 13th, 2005 at 7:49 pmLiving in OK I found it totally humorous that this lying sack of sh**t says it’s ok for abortion dr.s to get the death penalty.
His past: Performed thousands of abortions. Sexually molested a retarded girl. Sterilized another retarded girl… and his list of hyprocracy is long and checkered.
He is a vendictive vile evil ass. His campaign commercials were full of bold faced lies, and mud slinging. Yet he got elected anyway.
I hate him & wish him an early grave.
September 14th, 2005 at 12:26 am#33 I forgot about the comment about the treaties with Native Americans. I remember screaming at the top of my lungs after that one!
P.S. I voted for Cole & most everyone I ask says the same. hmmm.
September 14th, 2005 at 12:32 amP.S.: E-mailing this idiot does nothing but irritate him. I do it daily & they know me by name. His secretary is used to using some very unlady like language. I love it! I tell them their days are numbered and they have a melt down.
I call him a sexual pervert and an abortion dr. I ask which is worse in God’s eyes?…They don’t much care for me & I like it that way.
September 14th, 2005 at 12:38 am[...] On the first day of John Roberts confirmation hearings Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) pulled a Rodney King “Why can’t we all just get along?” Roberts broke down in tears, complaining, “When I ponder our country and its greatness, its weakness, its potential, my heart aches for less divisiveness, less polarization, less finger-pointing, less bitterness, less mindless partisanship.” Judging from his deeds what he means is that he wants these things to end on the left, but not the right. Christy, at ThinkProgress.org pointed out the following actions of Senator Coburn: Coburn on his 2004 opponent: It’s a “battle of good vs. evil.” Coburn on the Oklahoma legislature: “You have a bunch of crapheads in Oklahoma City that have killed the vision of anybody wanting to invest in Oklahoma.” Coburn on doctors: “I favor the death penalty for abortionists and other people who take life.” Coburn on homosexuality: “The gay community has infiltrated the very centers of power in every area across this country, and they wield extreme power. Why do you think we see the rationalization for abortion and multiple sexual partners? That’s a gay agenda.” Shortly before speaking news cameras caught Coburn working on a crossword puzzle tucked in his lap.

September 14th, 2005 at 9:10 amNotice the lack of trolls on this subject?
I wonder why.
September 14th, 2005 at 10:34 ami almost can’t beleive he had the audacity to DO A CROSSWORD PUZZLE during the hearings! surely that’s a fabrication of the liberal media. . . oh wait, there’s video!! oops.
September 14th, 2005 at 12:19 pm#50, There are some mountians so majestic that even the bravest of men fear to approach.
September 14th, 2005 at 12:19 pm#51, are you sure it wasn’t a find waldo book?
September 14th, 2005 at 12:20 pmI voted for the crazy lady who had a CIA transmitter in her head. She’s less crazy than Coburn who sees gay people stealing children everywhere. What an A$$. Oh, and he made a HUGE stink about the nudity on Schindler’s list, but when someone asked him if he’d seen the movie, he said no. Of course not. Here’s his commend about the lesbians in middle schools:” lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in southeast Oklahoma that they’ll only let one girl go to the bathroom.” Like a previous poster said, school officials and teachers didn’t know what he was talking about.
September 14th, 2005 at 5:35 pmGod I was never so frightened of my neighbors as when Coburn won his race for Senate. It’s not like his Democratic opponent was too liberal for Oklahoma, he wouldn’t have been a Democrat that would have gained much love from the progressive community. But apparently the fact that he votes prochoice was too much for my state, so they opted to send this nutjob instead. He makes me shudder.
September 14th, 2005 at 5:55 pmHm. First we’ve got Mr Bush ‘taking responsibility’ and managing not to grin at an inappropriate moment or say something truly moronic to spoil the moment. Then we’ve got Mr Coburn getting all choked up with emotion and despair at the partisanship and fingerpointing that has so damaged American politics. Now, I can’t really see either Cheney or Rumsfeld or even Rove doing the coaching for a more touchy-feelie emotional appeal – so who’s giving these guys the Stanislavski Method Acting lessons? It can’t be anyone from Hollywood – they’re all part of that gay conspiracy Mr Coburn is so derisive of!
September 14th, 2005 at 6:08 pmI live in Oklahoma and had to witness this guy running in the election. Does anyone remember how bad his smear campaigns were? It made national news. He called his opponenet evil and ran countless derrogatory ads on TV. He even had cartoon commercials of his opponents head on a monkey doing dances to silly songs. If anyone one is evil it’s Dr. Coburn or should I say….Dr. Evil?!
September 15th, 2005 at 12:54 amWhat a dweeb … so busy pining about the divisiveness in this country, yet so unconcerned about the cause or justification for that divisiveness. He needs a good buggering in my opinion, from a circus ape. At least he would be amongst those who just MIGHT believe his feigned sincerety, but then again, probably not! And, as Martha would say …. that would be a good thing!
Is everyone in Oklahoma as phony, hypocritical, and ignorant as this cretin?
September 15th, 2005 at 12:58 amNo! I swear! Unfortunately the voting rate in Dem districts (not that Cole was REALLY a Dem) is abysmal. We had a local election this week and I was one of only 3 people in my district that voted. Unfortunately everyone knows that the ultra-right wing conservatives are gonna win everything, so the rest don’t go out to vote. Sucks.
September 15th, 2005 at 8:55 amAnd to I hate Oklahoma, I can’t BELIEVE this guy has the gall to talk about divisiveness when he ran such a nasty campaign. It was horrid. Again, that’s why I voted for the openly crazy lady.
I have no comment to the amount of left-wing idiots on this site. It’s just that bad.
September 16th, 2005 at 12:38 ami figured there would finally be a troll here^^ but apparently, he/she can’t justify the comments by coburn…
September 16th, 2005 at 7:01 pm[...] Fine, fine sentiments. Then those divisive bastards at and those finger-pointing swine at ThinkProgress had to ruin it all with polarized, bitter… research! And dug up fine, unifying quotes like these from the gentleman from Oklahoma: Coburn on his 2004 opponent: It���s a ���battle of good vs. evil.��� [...]

January 10th, 2006 at 9:40 pmYet another example why the rest of the nation thinks of we Oklahomans as ignorant, racist, red neck, homophobic, Bible-thumping hypocrits. Did I leave anything out? And, if we (used in the general sense) had the idocy to elect him, they may be correct. What an embarrassment. No wonder Oklahoma is on the fast track to the Third World.
Thank the earth and moon gods for sensible good men like Senator Tom Coburn. It is comical to watch the wingnuts try to make sensible mainstream comments by a good man into radical ideas. To bad they are so filled with hate they cannot feel the love of Senator Coburn. The radical left has fallen into the abyss of radical secular humanist enviornmental religous dogma. If they are serious about lowering their carbon footprint they should all commit suicide.
