The Thrilling Conclusion To A Two-Part Analysis

We're in the home stretch of primary season, but that doesn't mean all's well in the Democratic party. Aside from Hillary Clinton's commendable tenacity, and the din of her vocal, though dwindling supporters, there's a new tussle a brewing: the delegate selection tussle.

Many state parties have shown resistance to the Democratic National Committee's Shay Amendment, a measure that set so-called "gay goals." These numeric marks were set to help each state or territory include gay people in their overall delegate camp. Unfortunately, things haven't worked out quite as planned. And, if you haven't read part one, you'd better catch up.

Gay activist John Norris wants Barack Obama to publicly drop his anti-gay preacher pal and superdelegate James Meeks: "Whether or not you choose to offer a public accounting of the reasoning behind the decision to ask Meeks to join you as both a key spiritual adviser and close political ally, the idea of seating Meeks as a delegate at the Democratic Convention is simply abhorrent. Therefore, I respectfully request that you ask for his resignation." [eQualityGiving]

We wrote about Barack Obama's association with anti-gay Reverend James Meeks over a week ago and Perez Hilton, Washington Times and other websites are finally catching up.

Barack Obama's spiritual supporters keep causing him headaches!

First, we had Donnie McClurkin, the man who nearly derailed the Senator's mega church campaign. Then came Jeremiah Wright, Obama's preacher who damned the United States and spurred that revolutionary race speech.

And now Fox's ire-inducing Sean Hannity & Alan Colmes have turned their attention to another Obama "spiritual counselor," Reverend James Meeks, a state Senator who spends his free time blasting the bent boys and girls. Obama's camp already denounced the remarks, saying:

Obama has appeared at hundreds of churches and served with scores of colleagues and can hardly be expected to be held responsible for all that they say.

While that may be true, Meeks' history will certainly propel a few news stories this week.

Catch up on all the sensational fun, after the jump…
