What I've learned is silence is deafening.
I should make that my sig line.

Pin people into the corner with facts, logic, links, etc., and it's end of discussion on their end.

It's been this way across the board all day and for weeks for that matter.

But Obama is sweeping conflict under the table, so why shouldn't his supporters do the same cboy you idiot?

Why can't some people understand that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree?

I can't believe what I'm reading.

Blind faith sucks.

3. You're giving yourself way too much credit donheld.
There are plenty of other people besides youtself who don't have a problem with Obama embracing homophobic campaign performers/workers.

I don't want to hurt you feelings or anything, but I don't spend very much time worrying about your points of view.

7. I'm sorry you feel so alone. I'm also
sorry that you feel like anyone is sweeping anything under the rug.

I have read and responded to many threads about Obama and the McClurken issue.

I'm trying to stop reading, because the 'conversations' are for the most part, NOT constructive- or ones which seek to solve anything, they have become flame wars.

There are some people who are dumping a LOT of hurt, suffering, anger, frustration, and pain on the back of one single person who doesn't deserve it.

I DESPISE it when people harbor hatred, prejudice, and intolerance for each other. Nothing is gained when we resort to this kind of crap.

I would not vote for a candidate who I believed would work against equal rights for my GLBT brothers and sisters.

But I cannot condemn Obama as "homophobic"- based on his unfortunate decision to have Donnie McClurken stay on the venue for his "Gospel Tour".

And I'm sorry that this makes me "an enemy". I am NOT - but it is 'guilt by assosiation.
And that is something I can't change.

Peace~
