In reply to the discussion: Glenn Greenwald never passes up an opportunity to take a crack at Pres. Obama [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)So your notion that criticism of bigotry was unwarranted is specious. I stopped reading Greenwald when he supported the Iraq war. Still I can understand why he'd go after Obama who voted against the Uniting American Families Act in the Senate and spent the vast majority of his public career so far opposing our basic rights in absurd, magical bullshit language. To claim that a man who says gay people are not 'sanctified' and don't have the 'spiritual element' straights do deserves logic and reason when he is criticized seems to be a flat out double standard. Obama had Donnie McClurkin as surrogate, man. 'We are at war' he said on the 700 Club with Pat Robertson. Told people to take off the gloves and attack us because he said we were 'trying to kill our children'. That is the level of discourse Mr Obama instigated, that was the tone of his first campaign. He had Rick Warren at the Inaugural just days after Warren said gay people are like pedophiles or incest.
You can forget that horrific crap because you are Sanctified by Goddy God and other highly logical and respectful arguments for the superiority of some. How nice for you. Your community not only prevents others from having equal rights but you also hound those who dare suggest your superior role might be made of pretentious superstition and wicked cultural baggage.
Here is Rick Warren, Obama said he was America's Minister and lauded him days after this crap. Own this along with your judgements:
" RICK WARREN: But the issue to me is, Im not opposed to that as much as Im opposed to the redefinition of a 5,000-year definition of marriage. Im opposed to having a brother and sister be together and call that marriage. Im opposed to an older guy marrying a child and calling that a marriage. Im opposed to one guy having multiple wives and calling that marriage.
STEVEN WALDMAN: Do you think, though, that they are equivalent to having gays getting married?
RICK WARREN: Oh I do.
