Every time Cornel West opens his mouth, I think...

1. LOL

[AllINeedIsCoffee]

2. He worships a war criminal that destroyed two large cities full of people because of gay sex.

And he has the nerve...

[geek tragedy]

4. Who is that? nt

[MrSlayer]

7. The Biblical "God" I'm assuming.

Although it wasn't just gay sex that got Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed. It was all kinds of fun stuff.

[VanillaRhapsody]

20. It wasn't gay sex at all....

[MrSlayer]

26. Well where's the fun in that?

I've always been under the impression that the two cities were filled to the brim with all kinds of cool sinners not giving fuck one about anything and having a glorious time.

[VanillaRhapsody]

27. You do have a point.....there probably was Gay sex...actually Gay people

are the most fun party'rs I have ever had the pleasure of partying with! The toga parties musta been fantastic!

[KamaAina]

9. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah had nothing to do with gay sex.

Rather, it was their inability to produce even a handful of righteous men.

"sodomy" did not became a euphemism for gay sex until centuries later.

[OKIsItJustMe]

12. Views differ on that of course…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodom_and_Gomorrah#Islamic

…

The Quran contains seven references to "the people of Lut", the biblical Lot, but meaning the residents of Sodom and Gomorrah (references 7:80–84, 11: 77–83, 21: 74, 22:43, 26:165–175, 27:56–59, and 29:27–33), and their destruction by Allah is associated explicitly with their sexual practices: …

11. Your ignorance makes this post look bigoted in the extreme. The 'rofl' emticon makes

it worse. You really should do the right thing and remove that post.

[AllINeedIsCoffee]

13. The biblical God is a war criminal that unapologetically murders people.

I won't delete shit.

[Bluenorthwest]

14. Of course not. But it makes you come off as yet another centrist with issues about

gay people. The way you put it is revolting, but the disrespect of LGBT people is typical of the 'moderate centrists' who dig NSA spying and all that. Always has been, the Rick Warren Democrats.
It is just amazing how few threads by the 'centrists' here pass without some slam at gay people.

[Bluenorthwest]

16. Obama 'I'm a Christian, so I think marriage is between one man and one woman'.

Same religion Obama adheres to. Says it is why he has 'issues' about gay people being equal.

[AllINeedIsCoffee]

17. That's one of Obama's character flaws... his religion.

Fortunately, he has seen the error of his ways in regards to LGBT rights.

[Bluenorthwest]

18. The flaw that I'm noting is the one in which you criticize one person for doing

the same thing you praise in another or give a pass to another for. In another thread you do the same, you attack Code Pink for agreeing with Rand Paul on an issue while you do not offer the same criticism to Obama when he praises Republicans as he oh so often does. He wrote a love letter to Coburn in Time magazine, anti gay, anti choice Coburn. And yet that flies by without notice. In Time magazine 'Oklahoma is lucky to have Tom' says a Democrat about a Republican.....
It's just not hilarious that West is a Christian unless it is equally hilarious that Obama is one. No matter what one thinks of religion, or of West. It is not just to attack some Democrats for agreeing with some Republicans while supporting other Democrats who publish long tracts on how much they adore some Republicans.
All of that, and your post still sounds like a wise crack perpetuating religious myths against gay people.

[Cooley Hurd]

3. His honesty is offensive?

Wow...

[Drunken Irishman]

23. I never said I found him offensive...

[Enrique]

5. i disagree about West, but...

but that graphic is hilarious.

[eShirl]

6. Ayyyyy!

[Dwayne Hicks]

8. I can't get behind this guy...

But this pic is hilarious lol.

[Corruption Inc]

10. Do all intellectuals intimidate you?

Cartoonish ad-hom attacks instead of discussing issues would make it seem that way. Perhaps you could share what it is you disagree with?

[xiamiam]

15. he should have you thinking..actually using your noodle is his intention

I'm afraid you've missed the point

[Drunken Irishman]

22. lol

[hughee99]

19. I always think that he must be a racist to oppose our President on so many things. n/t

[Drunken Irishman]

21. Na'. But I wouldn't be surprised if racists use him as cover.

[GiaGiovanni]

24. As a practicing Christian, Cornell West is morally consistent

That doesn't always dovetail with party politics.

[Cha]

25. Cornel West is a depraved hater. "Why Cornel West Fears the Obama Coalition"

But what I'm really sick and tired of are people like Cornel West pretending to represent the progressive movement while launching personal attacks Rush Limbaugh could only dream of on the most progressive president in history. I am really sick and tired of people like Cornel West pretending to represent African Americans and people of color, and especially, poor people of color in this country while running around the country doing "poverty tours" to sell books and a radio show. I am beyond sick and tired of Cornel West and Tavis Smiley and their partners pimping outrageous statements to the media to generate controversy, and I am sick and tired of people like Amy Goodman accepting such pretense without question.

I will tell you what, Cornel West. I am also sick and tired of you using the color of your skin to throw out publicly derogatory words that even the harshest right wing Neanderthals on the airwaves would avoid. "Niggerization?" "Obama plantation?" The use of those terms aren't simply indicative of your vile hatred - the very same thing you purport to be against - against the president, they are the mark of a coward. You know that if you use those terms as a black man, that most others will not step into that territory, and so by default, you'll "win."

The new generation of leadership and the new coalition of Americans that this president represents and was elected twice by are not color blind. No, we are race conscious and we are class conscious. But really, we are conscious of privilege, and we're better at understanding not just the institutional prejudices but also the institutional privileges - something you, Cornel West, are an utter failure at. However, we refuse to let the color of our skin - or other identity politics - define who we are. We are Americans who realize that our strength is in our diversity.

We display our strength when affluent white college students demonstrate in favor of the Dream Act and immigration reform. We display our strength when the California chapter of the NAACP becomes the first non-LGBT organization to endorse a 'No' vote on Proposition 8. We demonstrate our strength when men and women band together in the south to protect a woman's right to choose. We show our strength when people from all races, rich and poor, old and young, take to the streets in solidarity with a young slain man and his family that none of us personally know.
