1. Thanks DMM

2. It's amazing how the way he pronounces words changes...

depending on the audience. Reminds me of Bush. This guy will insult gays and do whatever it takes for any particular audience to cheer. That's not leadership.

3. are you talking about Obama?

where on earth did he insult gays?

4. Did not know he insulted gays

I have begun to shift my support from Edwards to Obama.

Your comment is troubling. What did he say and when? What are other times where he has been a chameleon?

Thanks.

7. I'm guessing he's talking about the debate where he joked

about not getting his AIDS test with Biden, which some overly sensitive people took to be a homophobic joke that got laughs from the audience at the expense of gays.

5. I think...

purduejake was making an analogy folks?

6. &

I agree his dialect is obviously affected by this forum... To a degree that's natural though. EVERYBODY does it.

8. My accent is affected by other ones. And Obama did not insult gays

the joke could have been about women just as easily. people get aids from hetrosexual sex. duh.
And I find if I'm around my mom I start pronouncing things in her french accent. I tend to start talking the same as the people I'm around.
