Hot on the heels of Sharon Stone’s “karma” comments and well into post-”Goddamn America” era, anti-gay activist Wes Vernon penned a piece blasting Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell opponents by suggesting we want to see the States smolder: “The bottom line is the policy would seriously cripple our military’s ability to its job — defending you and me… Is it possible that some in this coalition for tearing down our defenses are people who — for whatever reason — hate this country and want the United States to ‘get what’s coming to it.’” [Renew America]

Attention, attention! Let it be known that former gay porn star and conservative action hero Matt Sanchez has made a triumphant return to villainy!

In a piece over at right-leaning World Net Daily, Sanchez contends that Democratic presidential candidate has a “gay problem,” although former marine Sanchez doesn’t quite define what that problem could be.

Rather, he offers an admittedly skewed view on why the right should come out against Obama’s candidacy. And you can be sure he finds time to remind lavender voters that Obama keeps questionable company.

The results are really quite breathtaking…

Barack Obama laid the smack down on former Preacher man Jeremiah Wright earlier this afternoon.

God damn! Jeremiah Wright’s rapidly becoming the story of the year.

Barack Obama’s former preacher man found himself on front pages again this morning after he addressed the National Press Club yesterday, when he characterized the fervor as “an attack on Black Churches.” That’s an exaggeration, we think, as does Gay Conservative Liberal.

He contends that Wright’s overstating himself, but does offer an illuminating analysis of Wright’s original statement. Rather than simply condemning America, Wright should have elaborated on why people - black, gay and otherwise - have a right to be angry with the nation.

The Reverend Jeremiah Wright story just won’t die.

Democratic politics require a certain amount of transparency.

Voters want to know that their candidates are forthcoming with information, trustworthy and willing to open their pasts to the people. A good candidate realizes they need to show constituents the process of their politics.

Hillary Clinton’s most recent scandals show her commitment to transparency, but not the popular kind.

Hillary Clinton took a jab at Barack Obama and former pastor Jeremiah Wright today, saying: “[Wright] would not have been my pastor. You don’t choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend.” Homo-journo Andrew Sullivan’s so outraged by Clinton’s comments, he calls defeating “the Clintons” a “national imperative”. [Daily Dish]

Controversial preacher man Jeremiah Wright ain’t all bad - or is he? Sure, he damned America and brought disgrace to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, but he’s also come out for his homo brethren. Said Wright in a 90s-era sermon: I refuse to limit my God, to lock God into my cultural understandings because culture is fickle. And culture is often wrong. Culture was wrong about slavery. Culture was wrong about women. Culture was wrong about Africans and Indians, and culture was wrong about Christ. I have been the pariah among many of my clergy colleagues who somehow see me as defective or not quite saved because I won’t join them in their homophobic gay bashing and misquoting of scripture.

Reverend Irene Monroe’s not very impressed with Barack Obama’s speech: “If Obama can throw his pastor under the bus, what will he do to LGBTQ voters on his way to the White House?” [Bilerico]

Presidential candidate Barack Obama just completed his speech on race in America. We’re still digesting his remarks, we were particularly struck by this comment: Just as black anger often proved counterproductive, so have these white resentments distracted attention from the real culprits of the middle class squeeze – a corporate culture rife with inside dealing, questionable accounting practices, and short-term greed; a Washington dominated by lobbyists and special interests; economic policies that favor the few over the many. And yet, to wish away the resentments of white Americans, to label them as misguided or even racist, without recognizing they are grounded in legitimate concerns – this too widens the racial divide, and blocks the … Continued…

Democrat Barack Obama’s come under some fire recently. As we’re sure you know, opponents are calling for his head after footage surfaced of the Senator’s retired reverend, Jeremiah Wright, calling for America’s damnation and blasting Hillary Clinton.

The candidate’s making a speech on the matter as we “speak,” but loyal supporter Andrew Sullivan doesn’t need no stinking speech to know that Obama’s his man.

Barack Obama’s a quick learner.

The Senator from Illinois - who many say isn’t experienced enough for the White House - beat political veteran Hillary Clinton at her own game.

As we mentioned last week, the Clintons are absolute experts at using the media for their campaign gain. Rather than tossing Geraldine Ferraro immediately, Senator Clinton allowed the scandal to unfold, thus insuring that all eyes, however angry, would be on her.

But that all changed last Friday…
