Reaching out my ass!

[thewiseguy]

WTF is wrong with you Barack? Rick Warren is going to deliver the invocation at your inauguration? Are you fucking kidding me?

How about those gay and lesbian groups who donated, campaigned, and voted for you? Is this your way of reaching out to them?

Out of all people he picks Rick Warren? The same guy who set you up at the Saddleback forum. You know I thought that you were a smart man Barack. I am starting to believe that you are just an incredibly naive person.

:mad:

[GarbagemanLB]

1. He has pissed of DU AND FreeRepublic. Maybe he isn't so naive after all.

[Clio the Leo]

3. Ha ha!!! (Clapping my hands) this is so much fun!

Isn't it when EVERYONE is mad at you that you know you're doing something right? .... or left .......... or ..... right.

[Generator]

5. Wow Du'ers are the same as freepers

I love knowing what new Du'ers think of DU. I love all the compliments and the rave reviews. The fringe left on here are something aren't they? :toast:

[GarbagemanLB]

10. I am simply saying that Obama is playing to the vast center of this country with this decision.

[Generator]

14. And by your inference

saying DU is not-then we are what-certainly nothing you care for-we are the same as freepers. The vast majority of the country loves Homophobes-is that the NEW Democratic Underground? Oh vey.

[GarbagemanLB]

19. I consider myself a liberal and call myself a Democrat. DU is definitely not centrist.

[Deja Q]

17. Link?

I see the one on their homepage about GWB fucking for virginity ditching his free market beliefs to save the free market, but nothing on the Ricker...

[thewiseguy]

20. Freepers are upset so Obama is doing the right thing?

Your logic baffles me.

[QC]

2. I plan to reach out to him with this:

[FrenchieCat]

11. Well, I'm sure that this gesture alone will get you a few more votes,

for the next proposition you want to defeat in the name of Human Rights!

[IndianaJones]

4. Fred Phelps was booked. nt.

[DRoseDARs]

7. Oh gawd, THAT would have been fun. n/t

[IndianaJones]

8. wouldn't have been a big deal here. nt.

[DRoseDARs]

23. Even Rick Warren think Phelps is nuts. On that, we can all agree. n/t

[IndianaJones]

24. they're both bigots...is Phelps worse? nt.

[FrenchieCat]

6. Obama's plan was trying to purposefully piss off Gay activists!

that was his intended plan.

It couldn't be his sincere belief that he can open some opposing minds
and have them listen to what he had to say,
and in so doing could advance the cause for human rights further.

[rug]

9. Warren is sure to advance the cause for human rights further.

[AllentownJake]

12. If by further you mean forced Purpose Driven Life camps

your are correct sir.

[ruggerson]

15. How does Warren advance the cause for human rights?

Wouldn't Peter Gomes have been a far better choice to do that? And to open some minds?

[daninthemoon]

16. i wish that were true, and hey, whoknows? i can't accept that Obama

is either homophobic, or so politically foolish as to think that this will endear him to the fundies. so, maybe you're right. maybe he wants the hubub to give him a chance tospeak of intolerance. i wish i were that kind of optomist. i'm worried.

[thewiseguy]

21. Advance the cause of human rights by being a homophobe?

The guy has enough time to talk abortion with Obama but he does not have enough time to talk about torture?

[Thrill]

13. Yeah never mind all those Gays on his transition team. Nevermind Nancy Sutley

Nevermind Hillenbrand one of his Campaign Managers.

Sometimes DU has more idiots than FR

[Deja Q]

18. It would be way too easy to come up with something DUzy-worthy right now...

For now, I'll just agree with you that DU indeed has more idiots than FR. All those gays must be closeted heteros or something...

[thewiseguy]

22. And nevermind that he is giving a big platform to a homophobe on his inauguration day

As I said, reaching out my ass.

[whirlygigspin]

25. calling people stupid doesn't change the fact...

that this was a stupid and divisive choice.
