Ok, I hear you	still_one	Jan 2013	#64
I didn't say anything about you.	Liberal_Stalwart71	Jan 2013	#59
The implication was there, at least in response to the sub thread I started. Regardless, I accept	still_one	Jan 2013	#60
Obama likely had nothing to do with picking him or removing him	Demo_Chris	Jan 2013	#37
They're going crazy in this thread...	Liberal_Stalwart71	Jan 2013	#45
Heaven forbid that	Le Taz Hot	Jan 2013	#46
I'm not suggesting that they can't speak out. I don't agree with the bashing of the president.	Liberal_Stalwart71	Jan 2013	#48

This is who it was..	Cha	Jan 2013	#58
Good.	Scuba	Jan 2013	#3

Actual headline of the story: BREAKING: Anti-Gay Pastor Withdraws From Inaugural Program	Bluenorthwest	Jan 2013	#24
Fantastic news!	Hell Hath No Fury	Jan 2013	#7
Why even bother with a religious figure	TlalocW	Jan 2013	#8
Good.	Iggo	Jan 2013	#9
Here is Giglio's withdrawal statement:	KoKo	Jan 2013	#11
Notable that he did not, um, 'refudiate' his earlier statement	Newsjock	Jan 2013	#12
So wait, was he was a hateful religious bigot 14-19 years ago or 16-21?	PerceptionManagement	Jan 2013	#19
This was a sermon from approximately 18 years ago	Jeff In Milwaukee	Jan 2013	#44
Jesus responds: I told you all not to pray in pubic, and yet you claim you do so for me?	Bluenorthwest	Jan 2013	#16
You forgot the "L" in "public"	We People	Jan 2013	#49
Fuck this guy.	Demo_Chris	Jan 2013	#39
I would prefer a reading of the Constitution	formercia	Jan 2013	#13
I think that is a great idea	obamanut2012	Jan 2013	#23
Good. Glad to hear it. eom	Maeve	Jan 2013	#14
According to Giglio, he dropped out because gay people's 'agenda' would drown out his message	Bluenorthwest	Jan 2013	#15
Whatever it takes.	yardwork	Jan 2013	#21
I'd like to nominate Pastor Frank Hall of the Westport UU Church	krispos42	Jan 2013	#17
Replace him with Father Michael Pfleger from Saint Sabina's on Chicago's South Side.	ancianita	Jan 2013	#18
PBO has rightly condemned Pfleger, won't happen.	michigandem58	Jan 2013	#25
"Rightly" doesn't seem right. He's a Catholic social activist and community organizer, like PBO was.	ancianita	Jan 2013	#32
Additional info on Pfleger...which would give a 'rounding out' of the public imaginary on PBO:	ancianita	Jan 2013	#34
I think it would be GREAT to have Wright give the invocation	Lydia Leftcoast	Jan 2013	#36
I wouldn't object to his giving it. Better yet, have them both give the invocation together.	ancianita	Jan 2013	#42
Wow. I am surprised.	yardwork	Jan 2013	#20
just a passing thought	oldhippydude	Jan 2013	#26
Yes they are. /nt	yardwork	Jan 2013	#29
bet that's going to piss off some people	dlwickham	Jan 2013	#27
Kudos to Think Progress.	Solly Mack	Jan 2013	#31
Show some guts and end the benediction altogether.	CalFresh	Jan 2013	#33
Yeah, no shit n/t	PasadenaTrudy	Jan 2013	#40
+1 times a zillion!	forestpath	Jan 2013	#55
I prefer NO prayer at all	Demo_Chris	Jan 2013	#41
Good that he is gone. He shouldn't have been selected to start with.	idwiyo	Jan 2013	#43
I criticized the President	Le Taz Hot	Jan 2013	#47
Of the two possibilities you put forth I'd guess (a) is the correct choice	tularetom	Jan 2013	#52
Good. n/t	PoliticAverse	Jan 2013	#51
Thank you so much, Mr. President.	AverageJoe90	Jan 2013	#53
The article says he withdrew his acceptance. It doesn't say he was removed. And	forestpath	Jan 2013	#54
Glad to hear it. Still don't know why they wanted this guy there in the first place, though.	Ken Burch	Jan 2013	#62
