Q: So you’re not a supporter of same-sex marriage yourself?

A: No, no, no.

[Fumesucker]

1. Well, at least he's ideologically consistent with Fierce Advocate..

You have to give him that..

[MNBrewer]

2. Pretty clear sign that we'll see no evidence of "evolution" before O is out of office.

[WillParkinson]

3. And I'm adamantly opposed to 'faith' anything in government...

Sadly I don't have any clout on my own.

4. Another bigot. The hypocrite Harkins needs to be grilled on his support for

Other bits of his beloved St Paul's writings. Does he also believe that slaves should obey their masters? That women must remain silent and subservient? If not, how does he select which bits of his book cont and which can freely be rejected?
And where are all the 'true Scottsmen' who claim they are not all like Harkins, warpped and self sevimg? They will again show their true souls with their silence, thus it is proper to define them by their leaders.

5. It was Harkins church that the Obamas attended just before the Inauguration

Hence Rick Warren's transfiguration and the shitting on Gene Robinson became the answer to the vile McClurkin events. This bigotry has to cease. A bigot is a bigot, waving the cross and a heavily redacted Bible does not mitigate nor explain bigotry in civil politics.
It never ends.

6. Love the comments in reply to the assholes who support this guy...

Couldn't get away with that here...too bad...as someone noted, bigotry is bigotry.

7. I'm so shocked

13. Please repost it and leave out the

"fuck you Obama". Even though understandably you feel that way that alone got your thread locked. It is really worth of discussion. I cannot for the life of me figure out these moronic politicians. Just fuckin be consistent with your message. A good step would be to no appoint a god damned bigot to a position of power.

15. Please repost in GD-P staying carefully inside the lines of the DU rules and let's see what happens.

I'd like to hear an explanation for this from Obama's fierce advocates.

32. Interesting jackbooted responses to other threads on this topic in other forums

9. Another reason not to donate to the DNC. Not paying this asshole's salary.

I'd rather donate to OWS.

11. Hopetastic!!! n/t

14. The Buddha never discussed sexuality. It was irrelevant.

I was raised Christian, but Buddhism makes a lot more sense and it goes hand in hand with science.
The best choice I made was exploring and then choosing this path.

16. So the DNC has a homophobic 'faith outreach' person.

Sad. Yet another reason I won't give a DIME to the DNC. Not a penny. Nothing.

[tnlefty]

18. I ceased after Howard Dean was ousted.

This is just another appointment and one of those times when I'm astounded and wondering what in the hell are they thinking. I just don't get it. *scratching head*

[DURHAM D]

22. I assume you are aware that Dean appointed

a Pentecostal Minister, Leah Daughtry, as his Chief of Staff at the DNC.

Dean's tenure was not a good thing for my community.

[tnlefty]

23. No, I wasn't aware of that, but I do remember that he received

death threats for advancing civil unions, at the least, when he was governor of VT years ago.

I guess that I just don't understand when democrats reinforce the crazed repub 'values' nonsense with these appointments. Tim Kaine, who was DNC chair post Dean didn't like unions, women's issues, nor GLBT issues.

I'm tired of going back in time and having some democrats helping the devolving. :hi:

19. Kick'n it....

21. Bigotry Is Indeed, A Lifestyle Choice…..

Some will hate you publicly... while others smile, and hate you privately..... but never confuse the fact, that both groups despise you with equal intensity....

[Meeker Morgan]

24. Why the hell does the DNC have a "faith outreach director" anyway?

Let alone a bad one?

[FiveGoodMen]

25. Frankly because they don't stand for anything anymore.

There's no platform left.

They're just another company out to take our money.

[NMMNG]

26. That's a good question

They no longer even try to pretend we have Separation of Church and State.

[yardwork]

27. Excellent question. I hear that this guy is also against women's rights. All around a real winner.

[laconicsax]

28. "Big tent"

[yardwork]

29. Makes me want to throw up.

[laconicsax]

30. You're not alone in that. n/t

[JoeyT]

31. Oh good, another bigot that apparently speaks for us.

Begging right wingers to vote for you because you want to oppress gay people too isn't much of a winning strategy. Too much of what used to be your base won't show up. Democrats can't be bothered to be better about economic issues, but they were usually better about social justice ones. Until now.

Edited to add: And the right wingers still won't vote for you, because they're not sure Democrats are sincere in their bigotry.
