What will happen when warren addresses the obama crowd

[warrior1]

Will he be booed? Will the crowd turn their backs on him? I don't see how this is going to turn out any other way. Yea, the guy will be praying. Will their be signs? Gay flags?

[tekisui]

1. I don't think flags and signs are allowed,

so it may be some boos?

[babylonsister]

2. Not a thing probably. He will talk/pray, he'll be gone. And I bet the majority

of the crowd aren't even aware of the controversy, or don't care.

[DCBob]

20. Correct answer.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[liberal N proud]

3. Lots of booing.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

4. Oh I am writing Change.gov to let the Obama team I will not be watching the inauguration

This is plain wrong. I was going to have a get-together for a few of us. Instead, I think I'll take my mom and dad to the movies or something.

[NWHarkness]

5. He will be greeted warmly

Just as the announcement of his inclusion has been by so many here.

[WeDidIt]

8. That's my take on it

since Obama has basically told the GLBT community they have a seat at the table.

He just failed to tell them that Warren sits at the adult's table and GLBT people sit in the other room at the kids table where they can be safely ignored.

6. As a matter of decorum, I hope everyone keeps their shoes on. (nt)

[Bucky]

9. !

22. I'm rather hoping to see a bunch of drag queen platforms go flying. NT

[Heidi]

24. That's what I meant.

:hug:

[Binka]

27. God Damn Mondo Joe I Just LOVE You!

Your posts have been so cogent, thoughtful, and wonderful. LOVE YOU! :loveya:

[mondo joe]

28. Well, I have to confess: Under any circumstances it's fun to see drag queen heels flying through

the air. This time there's just a good target.

[glowing]

7. I'm sure there will be booing and/ or turning of backs. Within the roped off

section, no signs.. But I'm sure on the mall their will be flags and support.

[Cattledog]

10. They will show respect .

Some will protest but it will be over in the blink of an eye.

[wyldwolf]

11. booing... but then again...

When the electorate sees what a rude pissy bunch "progressives" are they'll lose what little credibility they've gained.

[Cattledog]

14. Exactly! Remember The Wellstone funeral!

[Bucky]

12. My theory is the clouds will part, a dove will fly down, and a booming will say...

"Earthlings... We have come for your women!"

18. Bucky, will we welcome our new evangelical overlords?

What does the Magic 8-Ball tell you?

[Jamastiene]

13. The won't allow signs or flags, I am sure.

I predict, Rick Warren will get a standing ovation.

Don't believe me?

Bet ya two :evilgrin: (my favorite smiley) he gets cheered for by the crowd.

[mondo joe]

15. I hope people throw shoes at him.

[lunatica]

16. Maybe he'll be praying to an empty room or only to members of his congregation

It's still acceptable to not attend a function. Protest is still a right in spite of Bush's and Cheney's best efforts.

[nancyr]

17. It won't be an address.

It will be a prayer, and people normally do not either clap or boo after a prayer.

[Neecy]

19. We have a tradition

When the Phelps 'church' picketed the funerals of those who died of AIDS in the 1980's-1990's - and they travelled around the country to do so - we always turned our backs on their verbal taunting and "GOD HATES FAGS" signs.

Isn't it amazing that in all those years we never just beat the shit out of one of the Phelps goons?

Or take the Pride parade in San Francisco. It always brings out fundies on the street corners screeching that we're damned to hell, we're perverts, blah blah blah. We turn our backs on them.

We're very used to this nauseating behavior and people thinking that they have the need to tell us - total strangers - exactly what they think of our lives. Bet most people here have never had to experience that. We do all the time. And we turn our backs on them.

[mondo joe]

21. I think throwing shoes could be a nice new tradition. NT

[IndianaGreen]

23. I will guarantee you that Warren's invocation will NOT be non-denominational

and will alienate even those less-troubled by the LGBT firestorm about Warren. You were warned!

[QC]

26. He's smooth, though. He will dog whistle his bigotry.

Expect something about "preserving the American family, the bulwark on which our freedom depends" or some such crap.

[QC]

25. Warren will officially become America's Pastor, a position

for which he has been campaigning for some time now, but so far without quite reaching that exalted height.

How ironic that it was a Democrat who put him over the top!
