Reply #78: Because Obama spread this. [View All]

He gave a microphone and a podium to Donnie McClurkin, who traveled throughout the south preaching this. He continued to introduce McClurkin and to praise him in public and to give him an audience, even after he said things like this:

"The gloves are off and if there’s going to be a war, there’s going to be a war. But it will be a war with a purpose? I'm not in the mood to play with those who are trying to kill our children."

He wasn't talking about terrorists. He was talking about "The Gays."

After handing a man a bullhorn to spread that kind of thing, Obama could at least condemn this murder. He didn't condemn McClurkin, but his campaign did issue an apology for inviting Rev. Sidden to speak. Sidden is gay. He didn't speak about homosexuality at all. McClurkin continued to spread nasty crap about gays at Obama's rallies, even after the gay community had expressed their outrage.
