I don't know what offends me more about this story. Is it the instructor, a state employee, telling someone who they can and cannot vote for to participate in a state-run program or that it took 3 complaints from people about this to get anything done. I thank the imaginary super-being for living in Massachusetts!
From Americablog.com:
Nasty story. Fortunately, the state handled it well. Well, they apparently didn't handle it well when they were first informed of the problem - it took a third person to tell them that they too were offended before the state felt they "had" to act.

Dunkley and his father, Daniel Reddy, who live in Tulsa, went to Broken Arrow on Tuesday night for a hunter safety course normally required to get an Oklahoma hunting license....
But when father and son arrived at the lesson, the volunteer instructor, Kell Wolf, asked if any of the students voted for President Barack Obama.
Reddy, a transplanted Californian — and former Marine — raised his hand.
According to Reddy and others in the room, Wolf called Obama "the next thing to the Antichrist" and ordered Reddy and Dunkley from the room. When Reddy refused, Wolf said he would not teach "liberals" and would cancel the course if Reddy didn't leave.
So Reddy and Dunkley left, as did a few others.Read the rest of the story. The state was appropriately outraged AFTER a third person complained. It would have been nice had the state of Oklahoma done something when they were first informed of their state employees violating the constitutional rights of their citizens.
