So if Obama is sending coded messages that he is anti-gay, then why the gay choir?

[Bonobo]

Wouldn't it have been better, and more acceptable, to his evangelical masters if he had left them out of the concert lineup?

Wasn't that risking sending the wrong message to his true base? (the Republicans, not the Progressives)

:sarcasm:

23. And the bar for "homophobic" just continues to get lower and lower...

Some people have a vested interest in fighting certain issues, even to the point of absurdity. It defines them. What would they be without it?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

2. Why post this moronic gibberish. Just looking for attention?

[ZombieHorde]

3. Has someone here accused Obama of sending coded messages?

[gristy]

4. Why do you think Obama is sending coded messages that he is anti-gay?

Do these odd views extend to other parts of your life? Do you also receive coded messages from your yogurt in the morning?

[Bonobo]

5. Some here seem to think so.

"We get the message" has been said many times here from some. The implication is clear.

[dsc]

6. that would be the chorus that wasn't identified and was left off the stage for the finale

that chorus.

[Bonobo]

8. None of the choruses was identified.

At least I don't think they were, but I only saw it once.

[dsc]

11. One was

but my point was no one would know they were a gay chorus because they weren't identified.

[Bonobo]

13. I understand, but are you implying they were not named in order to "hide" them?

[dsc]

17. I didn't imply any such thing

but the simple fact is that having a gay chorus you don't say is gay isn't exactly sending a message.

[TheWraith]

18. You were implying exactly that. nt

[MadBadger]

15. I only remember the Navy Gleet Club being identified out of ANY of the singers.

[TheWraith]

16. Only one chorus was identified, the Navy Glee Club.

And only one was on stage at the finale, the kid's choir dressed in blue and red.

[rpannier]

7. See how clever he is

He invites the gay band to fool us

[HughMoran]

10. Oh cut it out

Stop starting trouble.

[foxfeet]

12. Got that out of your system now?

I can't see any other more uplifting reason for this OP.

[Bonobo]

14. Yeah, almost.

But my reason in writing the OP was to point out how ridiculous it is to think he is sending messages that he isn't really for gay rights (a meme that some here push aggressively on a daily basis).

[mucifer]

19. Well I don't think the OP worked. This issue causes lots of pain and rubbing

people's noses in it isn't going to help.

[JohnnyLib2]

20. Nominated for toe-stomping OP of the day.

:banghead:

[ZombieHorde]

21. Fatherhood.

[xchrom]

24. then why be FOR gay marriage before he was against it -- why be FOR a set of rights DIFFERENT

but 'equal' to everyone else -- why mclurkin -- why a whole a buch of cynical -- politically expedient moves re: gay folks?
