The first commercial for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign has religious conservatives up in arms over its inclusion of same-sex couples.A self-described Christian news service has taken great pains to analyze Hillary Clintons presidential campaign launch commercial and determined its focus is to push the homosexual agenda.
OneNewsNow, a website of the American Family News Network, claims Clintons first campaign ad makes her promotion of the H-agenda very clear for all Americans by featuring two homosexual men walking down the street holding hands, with a homosexaul [sic] mans voice narrating the segment.
The typo-heavy article by reporter Michael F. Haverluck goes on to describe another segment of the video, which highlights a lesbian couple kissing on a couch while caressing each other.
These kinds of scenes depicting what he called lopsided and Left-leaning treatment of the LGBT community over the traditional family reportedly evoked outrage from the leaders of pro-family organizations, as collated by OneNewsNow.
According to American Family Association governmental affairs director Sandy Rios, the ads omissions were worse than its inclusions. Haverluck described the spots seemingly intentional omission of nuclear family imagery and values, and Rios explained on American Family Radio, the Anglo-American husband and wife with family in church we dont see that. Haverluck noted the video did include several racially diverse single adults, two evidently single moms and a pregnant African-American mom with the father with no wedding rings visible.

(3,580 posts)I think the rightwing should continue warning us that Hillary values the gay community and black folks. Why she may even value women and children.

(3,498 posts)Financier and CEO Peter Schiff said, People dont go hungry in a capitalist economy. The 16 million kids on food stamps know what its like to go hungry. Perhaps, some in Congress would say, those children should be working. There is no such thing as a free lunch, insisted Georgia Representative Jack Kingston, even for schoolkids, who should be required to sweep the floor of the cafeteria (as they actually do at a charter school in Texas).
The callousness of U.S. political and business leaders is disturbing, shocking. Hunger is just one of the problems of our children. Teacher Sonya Romero-Smith told about the two little homeless girls she adopted: Getting rid of bedbugs, that took us a while. Night terrors, that took a little while. Hoarding food..

(78,249 posts)The error is a pretty straightforward variant of the clbuttic effect a run-away filter trying to clean up text by replacing offensive terms with theoretically more appropriate ones. Among other substitutions, AFA/ONN replaced the term gay with homosexual. In this case, they changed the name of champion sprinter and U.S. Olympic hopeful Tyson Gay to Tyson Homosexual. In fact, they did it quite a few times as you can see in the screenshot below.

(45,319 posts)of why I don't much cotton to the general attacking of Hillary seen around here. It is far too early in a primary for me to be picking a candidate but of the announced, Webb, Caffee and O'Malley, Clinton and O'Malley are the only two who would have any chance of a vote from me. So she's a contender.
As for Warren, I was wanting to hear the story of how she left the GOP and her high earning consultancy lifestyle and moved not just into the Democratic Party but into a position many read as being highly progressive in all areas. What I got was a repetition of the idea that she is 'pulling everybody else to the left'. It skips the part about how SHE got to the left entirely. In 1992, Bernie Sanders co-founded the Progressive Caucus, Hilary became First Lady, and Liz Warren was a Bush Republican. From that, I can not surmise that Liz pulled Hillary to the left...
Let me quote from the 1992 GOP Convention Keynote Speech, delivered by Reagan Administration official and Republican Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan. This is the Party that Warren supporters say was 'super moderate compared to today'.
" Mr. Clinton however, has a different agenda. At its top is unrestricted -- unrestricted abortion on demand. When the Irish-Catholic Governor of Pennsylvania, Robert Casey, asked to say a few words on behalf of the 25 million unborn children destroyed since Roe v Wade, Bob Casey was told there was no room for him at the podium at Bill Clinton's convention, and no room at the inn. Yet -- Yet a militant leader of the homosexual rights movement could rise at that same convention and say: "Bill Clinton and Al Gore represent the most pro-lesbian and pro-gay ticket in history." And so they do.
Elect me, and you get "two for the price of one," Mr. Clinton says of his lawyer-spouse. And what -- And what does Hillary believe? Well, Hillary believes that 12-year-olds should have the right to sue their parents. And Hillary has compared marriage and the family, as institutions, to slavery and life on an Indian reservation. Well, speak for yourself, Hillary.
Friends -- Friends, this -- This, my friends -- This is radical feminism. The agenda that Clinton & Clinton would impose on America: abortion on demand, a litmus test for the Supreme Court, homosexual rights, discrimination against religious schools, women in combat units. That's change, all right. But that's not the kind of change America needs. It's not the kind of change America wants. And it's not the kind of change we can abide in a nation we still call "God's country."
So that's the Party of Warren, 1992. Pulling Hillary to the left. Yeah. But how did Warren finally reject the GOP if crap like Buchanan's keynote was not enough to drive her away? I remember that speech. It was savage.

Well that's because Hillary loves teh gays, single moms and unmarried black women but hates white married families who go to church.
Obviously.

Not that it matters, the black male in the scenes depicting the black couple, IS WEARING A WEDDING RING. You first see it as he is reaching for a toy. Then in two scenes where he pats his wife's pregnant tummy, you can see a wedding ring although it is not very easy to see. Why lie about this?
