Warren must withdraw his name from the inaugural. Its getting too ugly.

[Peregrine Took]

It will take this problem off Obama's "plate" while allowing him to save face" and name someone more acceptable. How about Gene Robinson?

[DJ13]

1. Keep him there, just add representatives of all religions to it

Lessen his importance by diluting his message.

That way Obama can save face, and add voices that represent a broader spectrum of beliefs.

[moggie]

19. Government needs LESS entanglement with religion

Not more.

2. Oh how much I would enjoy seeing Warren perform this at the inauguration

3. The asshole bigot Warren does not have the guts to do what is right.

IMO, don't anyone hold his/her breath waiting for Warren to take a hike.

[nxylas]

4. It's only getting ugly on DU

Out in the real world, people aren't rioting in the streets over Rick Warren. If you really believe that Gene Robinson would be "more acceptable" than the bestselling author of The Purpose-Driven Life, you've been living in the DU bubble too long.

[LordJFT]

5. check cnn.com and other reputable websites

this is a big deal far outside of the DU world

[pnorman]

14. I'm with you on that!

I sort of live in a bubble myself. I've been TV-free for quite some time, and get almost all of my input from the internet. But I get the same impression, and it's quite distinct. January Twenty FIRST of next year, can't come soon enough for me!

6. how about Jim Wallis?

he's evangelical but seems like he would be an acceptable choice

[Recursion]

8. I love Jim Wallis. I saw him at CPWI two years ago.

Count me in.

[Recursion]

7. Warren is only completely defined by his stance on homosexuality here

Everywhere else, he's the guy that wrote a book that people used to take charge of their lives.

[EFerrari]

10. DU is always ahead of the curve on these issues. n/t

[opihimoimoi]

9. I said the same thing last week....friggen Warren pretends not to hear..

but we know his troops are here

or Obamas too...

Get the word out....only way to solve...

Ricky the Sticky must stage right...exit left....

[DainBramaged]

11. "but we know his troops are here"

They hide in plain sight. Forest, meet trees.

[opihimoimoi]

18. If not...they oughta be....

[polichick]

12. imo it's up to Barack to fix this - Warren didn't invite himself.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

16. Absolutely. Obama needs to fix what he created. nt

[Mari333]

13. I hope there is a protest planned at the inauguration.

that would be wonderful. I wont be watching it . and yes, I let change.gov know why.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

15. Obama needs to remove it. Warren pig will not remove himself.

Obama gave him free publicity by giving him a position of honor before the entire nation.

[DesertFlower]

17. he won't.

[Kahuna]

20. He won't withdraw. Obama won't withdraw him. Are any protests planned?

I'm surprised I haven't read about any planned protests or demonstrations on DU. I think that would be the most constructive thing you can do to make your feelings clear.

[oldnslo]

21. Never happen-he's too egotistical, and thinks he's right, anyway.

[earth mom]

22. If Warren doesn't go-it PROVES that Obama doesn't give a damn about gays. nt
