1. Is this one of those "balance" arguments?
Like the way champagne balances out a shit sandwich?

2. If it opened with a White Supremacist and closed with someone fair-minded
could we close the subject then?

3. Yeah, we know. Doesn't change shit.
Instead of "balancing" a hateful misgynist bigot with a nice, tolerant religio-person, why not just not invite the hateful misogynist bigot?

5. No. Where's David Duke to give "balance". Subject not closed. Subject opening wider.
Sorry to disappoint you, but the party is spoiled.

9. That sounds more like the type of pastor Obama should have at the inarguration. Too bad about the
Warren guy. All I can figure is that Obama must be up to something with that pick.

10. Some views don't deserve equal time.
Bigotry is near the top of that very short list.

11. If you don't like the backlash over Warren, don't read it
Out LGBT friends are justifiably angry. They need to vent. No one's forcing you to read any of it.

12. Why Am I Totally NOT Surprised That YOU Think This Solves Everything?
Your outlook on GLBT issues is historically and persistently simplistic at best, Log Cabian at middle.

14. WTF.
Does Obama need a special prize for selecting a token non-bigot now?

They should ALL be in favor of human rights, how hard is that to figure out?
