Anti-gay wingnut Sally Kern (R-OK) wrote a book (h/t: Good As You) entitled The Stoning of Sally Kern: The Liberal Attack on Christian Conservatism--And Why We Must Take a Stand. For reference, here's part of the infamous anti-gay tirade for which Kern is now known:
"Studies show that no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than, you know, a few decades. So it's the death knell of this country. I honestly think it's the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam, which I think is a big threat... If you got cancer or something in your little toe, do you say, well, you know, I'm just going to forget about it because the rest of me is fine? It spreads. OK? And this stuff is deadly, and it's spreading, and it will destroy our young people, it will destroy this nation."
Did she get stoned for those remarks? No, but she did get criticized--and her reactions to being called out as a bigot and a liar is to pretend to be persecuted, to present herself as a martyr.
Simply pathetic.
