On embracing our "friends."
So Obama is the presumptive, and now that the screeching that Hillary did not lap the room astride a pony while saying she's sorry a thousand times, has the Obama supporters in a hatefest. What will she do? Well she will do what any political creature, yes, even Obama would do to make the exit on their terms, especially when there are so many Clinton supporters. Oh and there really are Hillary supporters, they are not invisible.

But this is not about our candidate, which I will of course vote for, but the ease and sickening ablility for the original Obama supporters to trumpet the latest neocon, conservative, misfit, degenerate, lawbreaking, freedom hating, RW mouthpieces and some self loathing gay pundits with open arms, forgetting the past as if it did not exist.

There are gay people on this board. They know maybe more than you a hetersosexual the nasty little things that a certain Andrew Sullivan said about homosexuality, aids, and other things that are issues for gay people. For you to drag his sorry ass in here with his latest ditty and his new attitude conveniently changed, is the worst kind of hate.

You want people to vote for Obama, but no depth is too deep to plumb for the vindication you all so desperately desire. Are you that desperate? I would think you would not be, considering that your guy won, and by default all gays must toe the line again and vote for him; equal rights fence sitting and all. But to bring Andrew Sullivan on as your banner of sanity and class?

It's insulting to gays, it's sickening, and if you were gay and read some of his stuff when the cocktail circuit was in full swing, then you think twice before slavishly posting his "conversion" pieces.

This goes for the Neocon crap that now is rampant as they run around seeing who has the last life jacket, and write all the "I knew all along, but went along" shit.

They enabled the people that have brought us to this now. A never ending war. Saying I'm sorry, or it was mis-judgement is nauseating. Seeing the biggest rat on our band wagon with nary question in the form of gay blogger that hates gays and apparently himself is not making your true gay friends here comfortable, especially when they were Hillary supporters.

Think about it.

1. Andrew who?
Sorry, man, but that wasn't me. I'm an Obama supporter who knows better than to piss off my friends, be they gay, straight, bi, or otherwise.
