Over a year ago, I called out Barack Obama for throwing gays under the bus with his gospel concert in South Carolina, when he let an anti-gay bigot (who's also ... you know gay ... but all better now really ... no ... really ... he's all better now...) take the stage ... scratch that take over the stage...Well, I'm not stunned and amazed: He handled the McClurkin contraversy in the way most calculated to be hurtful, and now he
is having bigot Christo-Fascist* Rick Warren to give inaugural invocation.
The PFAW president describes himself as 'Profoundly Disappointed' by this development, and Atrios gives Obama the coveted Wanker of the Day award.
The good folks at Right Wing Watch have the scoop on just what this man has done and said, which includes:
- Coming out vociferiously in support of Prop 8 stripping the right to marry from gays in California.
- This also includes him lying like a dog, and saying that this would allow pastors to be arrested for sermons
- Declaring that marriage, abortion rights (anti), and stem cell research were "non-negotiable" issues for Christian voters.
- Has said that the difference himself and James Dobson is a just tone.
- He has compared abortion to the Holocaust.
- Declared that those who do not believe in God should not be allowed to hold public office.
My gay friend who thinks that Obama sh%$s ice cream though....I don't know how he'll rationalize this.
If you are expecting a move on Don't Ask Don't Tell in the military before the 2010 elections, you are sorely mistaken.
*I could also use the term "Talibaptist"....Your thoughts on which works better?
