11. Oh, they'll know.
The MSM will make SURE that they know. For the next month, if Obama doesn't dis-invite that jerk, we'll hear about the "rift" between the gays and Obama on a daily basis, brought to us in high-definition TV by breathless commentators and journalists who are keen to stir shit and interview as many fundie nuts as possible in order to get the "religious perspective."

The MSM will make sure that EVERYONE knows who Rick Warren is by Inauguration Day. And that, more than anything, is the most damaging part about Obama's choice. Even if Warren doesn't say a single controversial word in his invocation, the media coverage of the controversy in the weeks before will offer him and his ilk LOTS of free publicity and airtime to bash gays to their hearts content.

Yeah--just what America needed. Another intense period of homophobic assholes on a soapbox. Nice unity there, Obama.

*sigh*
