Barack Obama supporters aren’t going to like what Gay Conservative Liberal has to say about their candidate:
…It seems, for the most part, that stupid Democrats don’t really care if Barack Hussein Obama went to school at a madrassa or if he is part of a radical, anti-white church that advocates the destruction of America. Homeboy is still leading the delegate count and attention-starved politicos like Bill Richardson are all but too happy to bask in the glow of the Obama movement.
…
The Antichrist’s most revealing characteristic is his way with words and his unique ability to galvanize people under a banner of peace, unity…change. People will turn against reason and hoist this figure to power in spite of reason. With words and little substance, Barack has dumbed the election down and reduced the Democratic party to a bunch of smiling, Kool-Aid drinking Change-ists.
So, what’s the most offensive part of this? No, not the anti-Christ reference. Nope, not the madrassa or homeboy cracks. It’s the Kool-Aid reference. When will America learn that black people drink things other than Kool-Aid? Like Hennessy.

You have to laugh.

What the hell is a Gay Conservative Liberal? Isn’t that a contradiction of terms? I think these folks have some serious identity issues and psychological problems that go way beyond Obama. Perhaps their tin foil hats are a bit askew?

While I think Gay Conservative Liberal needs to have his head re-examined and that he is likely a racist a-hole, I think the contributors to Queerty really need to start doing more research on their posts. Kool-aid is a reference to the Jonestown massacre which “has similarities” to the cult-like following that Obama maintains – not some sort of racist stereotype. The real stereotype here is Queerty’s conclusion:
Kool-aid+Obama = must refer to black people.

to drink the Kool-aid means to follow the commands of the leader without asking questions or using one’s own common-sense or judgement.
cf: Jim Jones & the Jonestown Massacre.

Hate to disappoint the Obama haters (of which I am one) but Barockstar Obama is not the anti-Christ.
George W. Bush is.
Bitch Republic
I am the anti-Christ!
I don’t believe in the Christ god-man myth, but if I did, I’d probably be inclined to believe Barack was the anti-Christ.

Trust me I’ve fucked ALOT of black mens, and I have never known even one to drive through a MacDonald’s drive-thru and NOT order Orange Drink with their value meal.

The Kool-Aid is a reference to Jim Jones, the leader of the Peoples Temple he then convinced his followers to commit suicide by drinking grape-flavored Flavor Aid laced with potassium cyanide.
A lot of republicans say “don’t drink the kool-aid.”

that was clearly tongue in cheek. you guys who took this literally and not as a joke are complete fucking idiots.
Trick
I get the joke…just not funny. Why is it so often that stereotyped denigrated groups of people can’t seem to rise above doing it to others?
goldend
just a few days ago the same thought crossed my mind “what if this guy is the anti-christ”, then I laughed at myself, but seriously… is so weird the whole Obama thing, so cult-like and out of nowhere, now I need to get my Asimov’s guide to the bible.
James
You guys who are commenting are the stupidest people I’ve ever seen. Have you ever heard of Jonestown? The fact that you think that kool-aid is a racist remark probably makes you the racist ones.
Nitesurf
It’s sad to see such ignorant and racist people clogging up this site lately.
Gay Conservative Liberal
Not a racist, but not a Change-ist either. And yay for those of you that got the Kool-Aid reference. Don’t blame my “racist” rantings on internal homophobia either, blame it on the Henny.

Anyone who can put the string Gay, conservative, liberal together has to be with this pop tart, on an overdose of cold medicine. Not serious or sane enough to get space, Andrew.

I’ll take the Muslim Manchurian Candidate over the Vietnamese Manchurian Candidate (you know the one I mean, the old fart with Alzheimer’s who kept crashing planes and would have been thrown out of the Air Force if his daddy hadn’t been a big-wig in the military and who was eventually captured by the Vietcong and spilled military secrets for extra rations of food and water and may in fact have been given prostitutes and drugs by the Vietcong for being so eager to cooperate. That guy.) Oh, you say there’s no proof? I say there’s as much proof that Old Fart McCain was a traitor as there is that Barack is a Muslim sleeper agent.

Google “John McCain Manchurian Candidate” & learn something.
james_boston
While I tend to believe the worst about modern day Republicans, this nevertheless has the ring of truth.
“For the next 22 months, McCain was kept isolated from the other American prisoners. Because the Vietnamese considered him a “special prisoner” he was the target of intense indoctrination programs. His communist interrogators believed that because McCain came from a “royal family,” he would, when finally released, return to the United States to some important military or government job.

I think James Boston is ready to drink the coolaid. Their master plan , wait till his like 90 to get the presidency.
You should send Oliver Stone the script.
M Shane
I doubt that McCain knew anything more about Veitnam than anybody; Why would they know who the fuck he was ceratinly not by his I.Q.
In fact nobody knew anything about Vietnam except that we had minerals that they had, and
we didn’t want want them to become Commies! ! We have traditionaly been so bright on that particular topic. I just saw an Interveiw with the French Minister, who was offered 2 Atom Bombs by J.F. Dulles .
M Shane
This was befor we entered the war. He was shocked ,of course, like the rest of the world, by American idiocy and greed.
foofyjim
This blogger is an idiot. He claims the purpose of his blog is to rise above hateful conservative rhetoric but then he posts this garbage.
leomoore
He cannot be the Anti-Christ. The Anti-Christ is already vice president and has his whore as the president. Really. The little monkey figurine on my boss’s desk told me so.

the racist Hennessy comment shows your true color-

Dear right-wing tool,
I love how people believe the most outlandish, over-the-top rumors only when it serves their purposes…I’m sure you believe that Obama is part of a Muslim sleeper cell, don’tcha? Eh? C’mon now…you know you do!
And “Kool Aid” is not spelled “coolaid”.
Love,

I must say, if I had a choice between George W. Bush and Barack Obama, I’d cast a vote for Dubya any day. I have to agree with GayConservativeLiberal. Barack Obama is more akin to Jim Jones, Marshall Applewhite, David Koresh, and Saparmurat Niyazov (The President of Turkmenistan between 1993 and 2006, who created a giant cult of personality) than to Jack Kennedy or even George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. If he is not the anti-Christ, he most assuredly is building a cult of personality full of wackos, blind followers, hopeless romantics and the occasional sane, but far to the left of centre people.

“Hennessy”? I’m not a PC fanatic but that is a slur. Urban legand (probably from the 50’s) is that African Americans will go to a liquor store and buy Hennessy Cognac in pints and sip this while strolling around the ‘hood.
ruby
Yes! Yes, he is. How can a junior Senator with limited experience get Oprah and so many people behind him?(that was rhetorical). What are people thinking? (that wasn’t).
Oh MY!
Ruby – I love you because you define yourself through others – you have already drunk the Kool-aid.

Obama Holds LGBT Fund-raiser in NYC
Sen. Barack Obama waded deep into Clinton territory Thursday evening at a private LGBT fund-raiser in New York City where the price of admission was $2,300 per person.
Held at the apartment of GLSEN founder and executive director Kevin Jennings and his partner, Jeff Davis, the event drew about 125 people and raised $170,000. No press were admitted, but based on several accounts, attendees were struck by the Illinois senator’s candor as well as his fluency with LGBT issues.
“I’ve been to many events over the past 10 years of candidates running for office,†said Corey Johnson, one of the hosts, “This was the most forthright, eloquent, and detailed stuff I’ve heard from a politician [regarding gay issues].â€
Molly Lenore, 43, compared Obama’s discussion of the LGBT community to the speech he gave about race in America last week. “During his race speech, everybody said afterward that he treated the American people like adults, and I felt like that’s what he did,†said Lenore, who is transgender and an Obama supporter. “I might not agree 100%, but I want to have an intelligent conversation with somebody.â€
According to those present, Obama spoke for about 30 to 35 minutes about queer issues and then fielded questions, most of which were not LGBT-specific.
Johnson, who is 25, has supported Obama for about a year but prefaced his remarks by saying he has never been an “Obama-phile.†He said the senator addressed some of the most contentious LGBT issues without prompting, such as same-sex marriage and the inclusion of transgender people in the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. In fact, those were the two issues Sen. Obama singled out as being potential disappointments to the LGBT community right now, while he signaled that a hate-crimes bill could likely be passed and signed into law and that repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell†might be on the horizon.
According to several sources, including Johnson and Lenore, Obama said he did not think it was “politically feasible†to secure marriage rights for same-sex couples in the country at this point. Sen. Obama acknowledged that the community wanted full marriage rights but said that he favored civil unions for now while leaving open the possibility that his position might evolve in the future.
In terms of ENDA, Obama said he supported an ENDA that included transgender protections but that he didn’t believe a fully inclusive bill had enough votes to pass the Senate at this time.
“I don’t agree — I think we’re much stronger united as a community,†Lenore said of keeping transgender protections in the bill. “But I do understand the politics and I do appreciate the fact that he said, hey, it’s not going to pass in this political climate. Many other politicians haven’t really done that. They make decisions but they never really address the trans community.â€
Should he become president, Obama said his first three priorities would be designing a safe exit strategy for Iraq, working on affordable health care, and addressing greenhouse gases and the environment.
As Sen. Obama made his way to the door, Johnson said he asked the senator directly to do more interviews with the gay press, citing the fact that he has conducted only one interview with an LGBT outlet during his presidential campaign. “I said, ‘Your speech tonight was so moving to all of us, the way you spoke about our community. You need to do more [interviews],†recalled Johnson. “And he said, ‘You’re right, absolutely. We do need to do more with the LGBT press.’†(Kerry Eleveld, The Advocate)

Afroguapo : I picked up your note in my e-mail and am more impressed than ever at Obamas straight forwarness and clarity. I noticed today that both this states Dem. Senator and and a whaft more of superdeligates are going over to Obama. It’s really hard to buy all of the disparaging talk when he is being hailed by just about every notable liberal. I firmly believe that he may pull a lot of things out of his hat before it’s over.
