Would you sit quietly as a leader of the KKK gave the benediction at the Democratic Convention?

150. No one - not Obama or me - are demeaning your rights

The fact is that there are MANY Catholic Democrats and to them their faith speaks of the need for social justice. Things like feeding the poor, healing the sick etc I will bet you that neither abortion or gay rights or gay marriage will be mentioned. There is a huge overlap between the values of the Catholic church and the Democratic party - and I will be shocked if that is not what is spoken of.

As to the KKK, what values did they have that anyone could agree with?

My point is that turning him down - or worse, removing him from this will have a political impact.

Even if the only thing important to you is gay rights (something that I don't think is true), don't you agree that the BEST thing you can do this year is to reelect Obama. Romney and the Republicans are on record as to what they want to do.

This is an issue that it is also important to me as the mother of two gay daughters and the sister (and a sister-in reality (not law) ) of a couple together for over 25 years. However I really think it unrealistic to expect the President to disinvite this man.
