> YEAH, BUT WHAT ABOUT RICK WARREN?


> “Yessssssssssss! Al Franken's leading!!”
> YEAH, BUT WHAT ABOUT RICK WARREN?


> “Official tally of US military deaths in Iraq so far updated to 4,209”
> YEAH, BUT WHAT ABOUT RICK WARREN?


> “Unofficial tally of civilian deaths in Iraq so far updated to 1.2 million”
> YEAH, BUT WHAT ABOUT RICK WARREN?


> “More calls for Dick Cheney's impeachment following his "I was aware of waterboarding and I supported it" comment”
> YEAH, BUT WHAT ABOUT RICK WARREN?


> “Zimbabwe cholera death toll at 1,123 - Mugabe laughs as world stands idly by”
> YEAH, BUT WHAT ABOUT RICK WARREN?

> No, neither actually – I just think some other issues matter too. And I’m kind of pissed that DU has been spammed with this hysteria, it now makes Freeperland look like a thoughtful forum
> SO, YOU CAN LEGALLY MARRY!


> Well, yes – so that automatically means I’m against YOUR right to marry?
> YES! HOMOPHOBE! (OR SELF-HATING GAY!)


> Why am I a homophobe?
> YOU’RE EITHER WITH US OR YOU’RE AGAINST US – SO FUCK OFF AND DIE!


> Actually, I’m with you – I think the Warren invite was shameful. But I’m still a homophobe because I don’t regret supporting Barack Obama?
> YES! HE’S A HOMOPHOBE TOO!


> Really?
> YES! HE HAS NO UNDERSTANDING OF DISCRIMINATION!


> You’re being funny, right?
> NO! FUCK OFF! HOMOPHOBE!


> Okay, we’ll leave it there. But, incidentally, how do you feel about the $17.4bn bail-out of the car industry?
> SHIT – YOU SERIOUS?
> Yes.
> FUCK THAT - WHAT ABOUT RICK WARREN? YOU HOMOPHOBE!



What's that stampede I hear heading in my direction? Hate? Oh yes....................

But I still think what he did is shitty and those apologizing for his actions and telling GBLT to sit down and shut up should be ashamed of themselves.

105. True, but it's an interesting change.
I love me some J.F.O youtubes, always uplifting.

That she's had enough of the drama says a lot.

My grandma very rarely became angry, but when she did everyone listened.

I'm still in donut mode, jet lag maybe, been on the road too long.

121. I've always suspected that you feel as I do about DU:
(or DID feel...)

That it's a great place to find common ground, unity, and inspiration to go and do the good work.

That, while there will always be some disagreement, most heated discussions have a fruitful ending or consist of healthy dialogue.

But on this topic, the attacks have just been over the top and absolutely unproductive, and it's very sad.

Very sad.

Lately, I have to really sort through the hatred to find happy thoughts.

And they, the happy thoughts, come from the usual suspects.

God, I love those DU members.

You're among them.

So three of us read DU on a daily basis.

We are all scratching our heads over this. I mean, I am committed to the rights of all Americans, but seriously, how is it that every other entry on this blog has been about Warren?

Edited on Fri Dec-19-08 05:29 PM by Sarah Ibarruri
... a position of honor speaking in the invocation of him as president.

That's what this all means.

Obama needs to change this. Warren needs to be removed from this.

N.O.W. asked him to change his mind on this.

It's just wrong. He's giving a horrific message.

Edited on Fri Dec-19-08 05:40 PM by truedelphi
Rubin and Geithner to have big time positions inside his administration.

And their appointments are more than a message.

Their appointments are about furthering the corrupt swindle of the middle and lower incomed, to the point that we will not have an economy.


Meanwhile, Kucinich and Issa and Waters have been ignored. Although they seem to be the only ones that understand the swindle is mUch BIGGER than Madoff. We are talking about a one hundred and eight trillion dollar meltdown of the world's economy via the derivative losses. (Our own economy involves only 13 Trillion a year, so maybe that will help you understand that we are in a crisis.)

Everyone should understand who these crooks and robbers, Geithner and Rubin, are and why they should not be "solving" our economic problems. (Just as everyone should understand that sexuality preferences are not a choice, and are not something that God deems worth his or her concern.)

Anyway, with so many of us unwilling to see the big picture of the economy, we are ALL DOOMED.

Cuz if you don't understand what is happening and you do end up working in a Chinese, or Indian -owned sweat shop, with only your memories of how much you had opposed Warren to show for it, you'll have only yourself to blame.

No society can have human and civil rights when there is no economy at work. If you are not educating yourself about the economic realities at hand, then you are going to be severely surprised when the Federal Government itself goes bust in the next nine months.

One of the DU lurkers at my household is married to Moi, and possibly goes on to make sure I am not reaching out too much to the members of the LGBT community, if you know what I mean.

The guy's favorite episode of "Still Standing" is that one where the next door neighbors to Judy and Bill turn out to be lesbians.

This is all a giant conspiracy by the angry gays and people who have always hated Obama to get Obama.

You realize if people on DU had been a little more understanding on why people were upset two nights ago it wouldn't be like this right now in here? However we have some on here to do a knee jerk defense mechanism on Barack even when he does something insanely stupid and we don't really care that people were generally hurt and insulted by this decision many of them that worked on his campaign.

Barack started this, and he better learn to manage his coalition a little better or it will fall apart. If your going to piss off one of your core group of supporters you better be doing it for a good reason and I don't see what the fuck the reason was for sticking a thumb in the LGBT communities eye.

88. What Obama did wasn't, in my humble opinion, "insanely stupid"...
.....that implies a degree of naivete, and he is anything but naive. What he did was shamefully insulting and wilfully hurtful to the gay community and to those, like me, who support the rights of gay men and women to marry and who passionately object to a bigot being invited to play a role - any role - on inauguration day.

My point is simply that, despite this decision, I will not dismiss Obama as a "homophobe", as many have on DU the last couple of days, nor will I withdraw my support for him (granted, he could probably survive without me). I am stunned by the Warren invite, but I still believe it's plain nuts to make Obama a figure of hate a whole month before he even takes office. The Warren invite is appalling, but I wait to see what actual concrete measures he takes on behalf of the LGBT community during his term. If he fails to do anything positive then that is when I will withdraw my support.

And, sorry, I stand by my view that some of the reaction on DU has been abysmal, specifically the dismissal of anyone who has expressed opinions similar to mine as a "homophobe".

93. Nobody was making Obama a figure of hate
or his supporters a figure of hate and most people had never withdrew their support till the shut-ups and stop its started. However, the way people responded, like we were still in the election mode, that Obama can do no wrong and instead of saying what you just said that what he did was incredibly hurtful and shamefully insulting. People have been dissmisive and outright hurtful to people who were upset and than acted shocked when those people lashed out. A little more understanding on here and support would go a long way.

However attacking people who are rightfully upset because they have spent years of watching democratic politians promise them the world only to sell them out after they give their hearts, times, and money to them or making cutesy threads like yours only guarentees more of this anger and only increases the rhetoric.

96. I agree with you Jake3463...
...but the bile has been flung by all 'sides' on this issue. Is it right that genuine supporters of gay rights, who are horrified by the Warren invite, be called "homophobes" because they don't hate Barack Obama? That, to me, is as bad as the 'get over it' brigade.

45. So start some.
There isn't a finite number of threads on this board.

Some of us can consider more than one issue at a time.

But that's not what this is about.

What this is about is that you'd like all the people objecting to Warren to go away.

What's interesting to me is how some posters so desperately need to avoid anything controversial.

Controversial topics ARE controversial because they matter ~ those who constantly try to shut down discussion just seem afraid to me.

46. The Rick Warren issue could be solved by a single phone call uninviting him
from the inaugural ceremonies.

The other issues you list are going to take a bit more than that.

Perhaps you're suggesting that the issue that could be solved with a single phone call must wait in line behind the problems that will take years if not decades to remedy?

79. Thank you, Jackeens
(And thank you for finding that stolen-goldfish-boy picture for me a while back.)

Your post points out something I have long found interesting. How is it that a person can put all their political eggs in one basket? And if their basket isn't filled to their expectations, then they decide that all the other baskets are to be ignored. I know that every basket is important. Speaking only for myself, I find it hard to focus on only one. The overall basket mosaic looks good to me.

Thanks, Jackeens. I love your picture posts.

183. Jackeens, your pictures were a breath of fresh air on here. Have
no idea why you are now being attacked?

PE Obama did choose Rick Warren but he did say all along his campaign that he would reach across the aisle. Am not exactly pleased that he will give Warren two minutes, but in the final analysis he is reaching across the aisle to inform this homophobe that he is their President also. Good strategy but it is a fatal mistake to the LGBT community. I totally see where the LGBT community is seeing this as a slap in the face.

No flaming, thank you very much!

Enough, it's embarrassing even, that people are thinking that attacking those who don't feel exactly the same outrage as they do is PRODUCTIVE, then I call bullshit.

They should get off this fucking board and fucking do something about it.

That they are not exposes the outrage as bullshit to me.

Anyway, thanks J.F.O for all your uplifting images and videos.

130. Well, yeah, OK...
I saw that and the post it was responding to, you belittled her passion for pictures and she overreacted with a foul phrase.

Both were unkind, one was unkind and foul.

That's an argument escalating, getting more mean and less productive.

I've read both of your posts long enough to know that you all don't mean to be that way toward the other.

Look, I know this is a huge issue of fundamental importance, but I think the OP's point isn't about the correctness of positions of anyone, but rather of the utility or futility of the tone of some of the posts and responses, and I agree with her.

Not that you've done it, but progressives attacking other progressives over the comparative depth of their outrage over the Warren blunder is not progressive.

It might in fact be counterproductive.

That's how I see it, anyway.

Best wishes for happy holidays and for progress on the matter of restoring gay marriage to my state, California.

We had it, we will have it again.

So, what rank do gay rights get? Somewhere below cleaning out the dust from behind the fridge, or what? I need a list from the "grownups" to tell me what to care about, since I'm just an anti-Obama whiner.

137. Gay rights? One of the THE most important issues. Does that make me a "homophobe"? n/t

194. Discussing one topic doesn't preclude discussing other topics.
You never have to read the threads you don't want to read.

I never ceased to be amazed at the number of thread starters who can't seem to control their own hand, which makes them click on threads they don't want to read. If you don't want to discuss such threads, DON'T!! How hard is that to figure out?

How weak does a person have to be to be unable to resist the urge to click on a thread with a title they KNOW they don't like? It reminds me of all those folks who throw a fit because someone is dancing somewhere in town. Don't join the dance, but don't piss and moan at those who do.
