"Diverse, noisy, and opinionated"
So Obama goes on the news and says that the great thing about Americans is that we are "diverse, noisy, and opinionated." That's his characterization of someone who calls us pedophiles. It's also his characterization of our rights. It's just a matter of "opinion." So it's only our OPINION that our relationships are not equal to pedophilia and incest. Oh, okay.

I will never EVER vote for this man again. I guess he was the lesser of two evils, but maybe its the greater evil that we allow ourselves to be cynically used by politicians like this.

This is the biggest fuck you ever.

1. But those of us posting about this on DU are being told to shut up.
I wish that Obama's team would get their messages straight.

2. "Your humanity is just an opinion, so shut up or we'll change our minds."
Is that succinct enough?

3. Not rude enough. "Get over it you perverts, and stop comparing your suffering to mine!"
I still can't get the spelling and syntax quite right. I've seen it somewhere before...

4. Well put. Hate and acceptance are not two "viewpoints." That is a LIE.
It's a false equivalency worthy of FOX News.

6. That's what B*** always did when criticized - the high road
above the fray, "Yes, yes, they have a right in a democracy, my democracy, to speak their feeble, childish minds, I am POTUS, I allow it."

I am wondering if they are different sides of same coin?

"The problem with power is that people pay attention to it, and it's very easy to get beside yourself and use it in the wrong way."
Lyda Green, President, Alaska State Senate.

8. I have a question: has anyone gotten any email from pro-choice groups
Edited on Fri Dec-19-08 04:23 AM by sfexpat2000
about Warren? I haven't. And, that's weird when you think about it.

Planned Parenthood Action fund endorsed Obama:

9. They know Obama won't abandon them on real issues. He'll lose if he abandons choice.
That being said, I would not be at all surprised if he doesn't appoint a weak choice candidate to the supreme court.
