64. Here's Rick Warren calling gay people shitty things just before Obama picked him for the Inaugural

Many people on DU, legions of them, defended the use of Warren as officiate and raged at LGBT people for daring to object to the denigration, the insults and the slurs. Members of this community are on record telling LGBT people to endure open hate speech. They taunted us for objecting to offensive verbiage, as you know. 'You just want your pony' and 'this is nothing but poutrage'.
The had no empathy for LGBT people denigrated in public by our own Party. They sided with those speaking insults to their own neighbors.
Last week, many of the same people expressed overflowing empathy for the stone cold murderers in Paris. Many opined that whenever someone is insulted or denigrated, that the person doing the denigration should expect a violent reaction. 'I don't condone murder, but....'
Many others simply agreed that these were insults that must be shouted about and attacked.

But when Rick Warren called gay people pedophiles, most DUers and especially the anointed 'Obama supporters' stood with the man doing the denigration.
Earlier in that same campaign Obama used as surrogate Donnie McClurkin, a hate preacher who, on the 700 Club had said gay people kill children, so Christians must go to war against us 'the gloves must come off, this is war!!!!'
DUers defended McClurkin and Obama's use of McClurkin exhaustively. Obama defended him, chided the LGBT community for daring to object to being accused of child murder.
No empathy for insulted LGBT people, great empathy for insulted mass murderers.
