“The President’s speech appears to be a payback for HRC’s endorsement of his candidacy”

SOUNDBITES — “President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak Saturday night at a fundraising event for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a far-left lobbying group that promotes forcing Americans to accept and applaud homosexual behavior. The group regularly lobbies to force Americans to affirm homosexuality and targets youth with weekly “Queerly Speaking” YouTube videos to advance its agenda. Obama’s appearance at the fundraiser raises questions about the propriety of a President speaking at such an event, when taxpayers must pay the cost for his travel and security. The President’s speech appears to be a payback for HRC’s endorsement of his candidacy.” —An alert from the Liberty Counsel, a non-profit legal organization supporting “religious liberty, the sanctity of human life and the traditional family”

LOL! Yeah Right, it’s a last minute concession to the fact that there is a march going on and the news media thanks to the Daily show has finally started asking questions about his promises to the gay community. He picked the group least likely to push him in any way.

We will handle this. Finally, someone in the LGBT Community will let the President know “enough is enough.” We are not afraid to fight.

The HRC was in the bag for Hillary early on. It’s just the most visible gay lobby and Joe Solmonese promised him no tough questions at the event.

It’s common knowledge in Washington that Joe wants a cabinet position. First out cabinet member means history.

Joe Solmonese is a lap dog to the Democratic Party. He’d drink his own urine in public to get in good with the government. He and the HRC aren’t in anyway fighting for our rights. He’s just padding his wallet with money from who? the gay community, not me.

Last minute concession?
The march itself was a “last minute” idea – which Queerty and most here ragged on until this week.

I guess we have a different definition of “Last Minute”. The March whatever your view on it was being planned as early as May. Obama speaking to HRC was on NONE of the schedules until very recently when the Daily Show, the News, etc… started going after the White House for their gay rights problems.
