You'd think Warren got a Cabinet position around here!

Edited on Wed Dec-17-08 08:16 PM by Cattledog

It's a freaking prayer ! It's all phony jesus in the sky BS, so why the ruckus? It will have no real impact on Obama's position on gay rights, abortion rights, etc. Everyone ought to be more concerned with who he picks for the SCOTUS! That's where Gay rights will be won, and abortion rights solidified.

1. Would you feel the same if a Grand Wizard was allowed to speak at the inauguration?

Hate is hate, and that's all Warren spews.

3. Why is racism worse than homophobia and sexism?

It isn't. They are all equally bad.

Bigotry is bigotry is bigotry.

9. Who?

I think we should be just as outraged about that.

I'm not freaking out, I'm fucking pissed off that the president elect is giving a platform to a bigot, yet again.

4. This is an historic inaguration and each and every speaker is important

I'm frankly shocked that Obama or whoever it was made this stupid decision.
