Ah, I see. I am totally unfamiliar with Coburn or his comments.
From what you guys are saying, I would say that he represents a very, very small portion of the right. Just as the extreme left bothers most liberals, the extreme right makes us cringe as well.
I would say that, while vocal, they represent a very tiny percentage of conservatives. I personally do not even know anybody that would say anything like that (and I know quite a few on the Christian right and they wouldn't say it either).
As you guys dismiss your side's wackos, we dismiss these wackos as well.
/the fact that they get elected is concerning though. I would guess that this type of rhetoric doesn't come out during campaigns.
Edit: I just saw Superbelt's last thread. I would say your answer is in the last sentence
