McInsane apologized for Cunningham - we're STILL WAITING for obama to apologize for donnie mcglurkin

[TankLV]

he's tried to rationalize his way out of it...

he's said WE "misunderstood" his remarks...

he even had the temerity to insist we took it the wrong way...

he's said on separate occasions he "supports gay persons, but was just reaching out to another important voting block...

BUT

HE HAS NOT ONCE FUCKING APOLOGIZED FOR HIS - REPEATED - PANDERING TO GAY BIGOTS AND GIVING THEM A PLATFORM FOR SPEWING THEIR HATE - NOT ONCE BUT MOFE THAN TWICE...!

we're STILL waiting...

[Olney Blue]

1. Are you watching the debate?

[TankLV]

2. It's not on here yet in Vegas - I've checked all the channels...

what network?

[Olney Blue]

4. It's on MSNBC right now here on the East Coast.

[TankLV]

5. Ahh - got it on now - thanks...

[Oleladylib]

3. don't hold your breath..

6. are you trying to stir up crap or haven't you been paying attention

Obama has said time and time and time again that he disagrees with McClurkin's position on homosexuality

he has gone into black churches and called them on their homophobia

[mitchtv]

7. then he should have no problem apologizing

for that POS and adding a Gay white minister as a fig leaf,and adding a racial element to the objections. Does he think we're stupid?

[Tyo]

8. Not stupid. He just figures he's got us in the bag, so why bother?

I think that he assumes that if he gets the nomination the non-Log Cabin gay vote will be his cuz, as usual, we have no viable options. Or so the plan goes. In the meantime why should he apologize to us and risk pissing off the theocrat contingent that he's worked so hard to bring on board and with whom the Obamazombies seem so comfortable?

[mitchtv]

12. Of course I expect nothing

after all gotta reach out to the Xians Base it's just Obamanable. I think we'll be needing a march on DC sometime around January 21st. You know I've been holding my nose since72. In 68 I refused to vote for Humphrey and voted McCarthy.Unfortunately there will be no viable alternative this time. I have a feeling we will become Obama's "Sista Soulja" moment unless we "behave".

[WillParkinson]

11. Well duh...

Of course he does. All politicians think people are stupid. Why do you think they keep getting elected?

[WillParkinson]

10. You can disagree with a position

But to milk it for votes? To throw gays and lesbians under the bus because it's politically expedient?

You don't give hate a face. You don't give bigotry a voice. You don't allow it to promote you but say you disagree with it.

Sorry, I'm tired of being a chip in the poker game. I'm good for when you're playing but you put me away until next time you think you might need me.

Been there. Done that. Got DOMA and DADT out of it.

[Tyo]

14. Bingo! Who's next on his list, the David Duke crowd?

Start roping in those KKK and white supremacist votes. Course he disagrees with them on a number of issues related to human rights, but The Dream is for everyone and once they are on board he can give them some straight talk regarding those points on which they need some attitude adjustment. No different at all from what he's done with these Fundie homophobe pastors and "ex"-gay Christocrats.

[terrya]

13. That's not an apology and you know it.

That isn't even close to being an apology.

[Malikshah]

15. has he publicly apologized?

Yes or no?

If not, then pound sand.

9. I've gone through previous debates on YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFC7TnKZQTQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDQwa6-KJsI

and

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk_-VucELn4 "When you're a black guy named Barack Obama, you know what it's like to be on the outside." So, uh...why come back to that church thing? It's a complete red herring--churches are already free to internally recognize or not recognize whatever relationship they choose based on their own rules.

And why go back to the people that want to smear a segment of the population and say, "Hey, come campaign with me."

[Meeker Morgan]

16. He was just reaching out to another important voting block?

It's OK. He's lying to the other guy, but we're really his buddies.
