#4, Brief search on this blog alone, as firewall hampers research at work:

“President-Elect Obama didnâ€™t appoint even one openly gay person to his senior staff. 21 senior staff positions in the White House. Not one LGBT person.”

http://www.lagaycenter.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Rick_Warren_Response

“If President-elect Obamaâ€™s selection of Rick Warren to give his inaugural invocation is intended to send a message to America that he will be an inclusive leader, then he has clearly made a decision that the exclusion of the LGBT community is acceptable.”

“As of today, Obama has told us by his actions, gays will not stand in the way of his political agendaâ€“no matter how valid the argument.”

But don’t worry. I’m sure he’ll take his message of human rights to the world.

Oh, wait http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.42a44b0f5d9cf5c9762e80574e79a3d5.831&show_article=1

Clinton had sought to focus on economic and environmental issues in Beijing, saying Washington’s concerns about the human rights situation in China should not be a distraction from those vital matters.

Never mind.

#4 – “Wouldnâ€™t be caught dead with gay people? Wow. Thatâ€™s illuminating. I had no earthly idea. Whatâ€™s the evidence for that assertion?”

When Obama said he would support Prop 8 in CA and talked about marriage being between “one man and one woman” during his 2008 campaign.

Try again.

“I’m tired of having someone who supports democracy in the Middle East. bring on the people who will talk with those who want us dead!”

There fixed it for you.

Welcome to Who’s Administration is it anyway? Where the taxes go up, and the spending doesn’t matter. Yes, just like human rights to President Obama, the spending just doesn’t matter.

Inlookout, please address the substance of the post, thanks.

How would you react if it were discovered that when a sermonizing Republican with a television show once used the FBI to spy on political opponents and professional colleagues when he worked in the White House?

So, wait, you want me to believe I’m not being very constructive when you’re asking me to attack Republicans you don’t like. So, by your very statement, you’re admitting not to being very constructive because you don’t take Charles Rangel, Chris Dodd, Roland Burris, Kent Conrad and other Democrats with ethical lapses to task.

Can you defend Bill Moyers, the subject of this post? Did I get any facts wrong? Please let me know. If not, I’m curious why you chose to post your rant here, trying to deflect the topic from Moyers?

Here we go, now Iâ€™m sure to be labeled anti-Semitic?

That label really should be saved for people like Obama who actually are, not for people like you who are merely repeating what their party tells them to say.

Wouldn’t be caught dead with gay people? Wow. That’s illuminating. I had no earthly idea. What’s the evidence for that assertion? Any first hand knowledge? Please. As for Freeman, no I don’t agree with all his views. But then I am also tired of always backing Israel to the Nth degree. And I am ready to have someone in there with a different perspective, as the perspective of the last 8 years certainly hasn’t gotten us anywhere. Someone not afraid to call out Israel when deserved, and not always be their b!tch. Here we go, now I’m sure to be labeled anti-Semitic?

#1 Are the liberals talking about the Israel basher and China apologist as head of the National Intelligence Council? Are they talking about the fact that Chairman Obama still wouldn’t be caught dead appearing with gay people?

When Goldwater was asked if he approves of gays in the army, his reply was (if I remember correctly), “I don’t care as long as he can shoot straight.”

What?! Nobody is talking about Bobby Jindal? Or “What are you, crazy?” Michael Steele? Or Sen. Richard Shelby? Or even Sen. Jim Bunning? You folks really need to take your party back instead of harping on the same old “liberal” villains. Doesn’t seem terribly constructive.
