Why did you guys work for the “MAN WHO KEPT WOMEN OUT OF THE WHITEHOUSE”?
Didn’t you notice when they disenfranchised Texas, Michigan, and Florida. Obama made Bank at Saddleback, and now he is returning the favor. LGBT’s, Feminists, anyone who can’t help Obama financially has no voice with them. This like the flipping off, and the brushing off and the sweetie shit is just an excuse to solidify his base – white men and black people- both homophobic and misogynistic. He just needed to get us to write Rick Warren’s name over and over again, get some more old alzheimered, disgruntled old Judge Judy watchers to switch over to his confidence operation, I mean megachurch. Especially you Kristen i or e, who cares, tacky name anyway. XIAN ycch. Obamanation. You don’t want to be told “I told you so” – I don’t want to watch the death throes of my country. Where do you get off working for some freak who conspired to steal my vote? They said I was worth half a vote, and ya’ll couldn’t tell he was a whore. Can you say STUPID!!! You could have voted for McKinney, like all the real progressives did.

If I could go to the innauguration, I would turn my back to that bigot-religiously-narrowminded bustard. I don’t care about being quoted on my statement. I am very sad that people’s ignorance and lack of education is preventing people who love each other to get legally married.

Warren should be eliminated at the inauguration ceremony! All of the attention to religion is destroying the world peace and will harm Obama’s presidency. We voted for change. CHANGE THE PREACHER!!!

When Clinton started don’t ask don’t tell I winced. Not the right fight not the right time, Defense of Marriage Act — took the wind out of the right’s sails – clever. Gay marriage, keep it to civil unions, don’t stir the pot too much. Never expected much support from Obama on gay rights either but, again, take one for the team. I’m used to putting off LBGT rights for the greater political good. Inviting Rick Warren to perform the invocation. Utterly unforgiveable. No one has a right to trade on my human dignity for political gain. As for the inaguration, do more than turn your back. Wash DC metro parking is 4$ all day. After we park our cars and fill up all the lots lets ride the train all day and fill up all the cars. Its perfectly legal and it will make a huge political and news capturing point.

Nancy @65,

So, you know Dennis Kucinich (that’s with a ‘K’) is a member of the ‘lunatic fringe’, but you don’t know how to spell his name? And comparable to David Duke? You’ll have to excuse my not taking you seriously. (Yeah, I have a crush on Kucinich. Deal with it.)

Anyway, I actually *am* a little surprised about the Rick Warren thing. I’ve always seen Obama as lying somewhere between centre-right and right wing, but I definitely, definitely didn’t peg him as someone who’d be willing to give the fundies a platform. Compromising with the ultra-right gives them legitimacy, when they should be ridiculed and treated like the Dominionist fascist nutcases they are. Aside from anything else, they despise Obama and aren’t going to give an inch on anything, regardless of what he does to try to placate them. It’s a losing battle.

Leading a prayer is preferable to setting official policy, but marginalisation would be preferable.

I really hate it when anti-choicers compare abortion to the Holocaust. It’s a facile, idiotic comparison.

AGM: So, what has any other party in the US actually done for the gay community?

I voted for Obama, but, I don’t recall him coming out with the statement, “I am pro-choice” ever. Did he? If so, then yeah, be shocked, if not
then don’t
cause he did say he was against gay marriage
Hellooo

Kristin: so .. really, what HAVE the Dems actually done for the gay community?

And don’t give me any paranoid nonsense about “internment camps” because the only time anyone in the U.S. actually went to one it was the Japanese-Americans, put there by FDR (Dem) during WWII.
