Like his Democratic cohort Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama released a lackluster letter supporting California’s gay marriage win. While he approves of the decision, Obama still believes that civil unions are the best road to equality. That, too, is Clinton’s position. For some reason, however, National Review journalist Rich Lowry decides to eschew the former first lady and use a recent article – “Does Obama Support Gay Marriage?” – to take on the likely Democratic nominee:
In a carefully hedged statement, Obama said he “respects the decision of the California Supreme Court.” He respects a decision that disregarded the will of the people in California, as expressed by a 2000 referendum that defined marriage as between a man and a woman; he respects a decision that excoriated his own position of support for civil unions and (theoretical) opposition to same-sex marriage; he respects a decision that rejects the sort of political compromise he extols. It’s like a professed abolitionist in 1857 saying he “respects” the Dred Scott ruling.
Hmmm… Do you think Lowry used that example because Obama’s black? We do.
As for Clinton’s omission – perhaps it’s because Lowry appreciates of her approval of repealing only some of the Defense of Marriage Act, which Obama whole-heartedly rejects. If that’s the case, Lowry should have mentioned that. Instead, Clinton’s name doesn’t even get mentioned, as if she doesn’t exist.

Barry looks very gay in that old photo.

Kid A
He looks like Al Green on the cover of “Let’s Stay Together”
CHURCHILL-Y
It seems Queerty has some militant issues to deal with amongst its work force. Sad they’re like ants or roaches? So now Hussein Obama is somehow being portrayed by some of the militants as more in favor of marriage equality than Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton! What some people will say in order to get him into the presidency! Hussein will follow word by word anything senator Clinton says in order to not appear that threatening to the general American public but make no mistake what he says is totally different from what he does or whom he surrounds himself with;

When push comes to shove he knows who has so far secured his supposed lead so far for the Democratic candidacy(african americans) and he will act in accordance to their beliefs and prejudices.
On a lighter note, what a great picture of Hussein in his early militant days, afro and all! Now of course he has toned down his look to appeal more to whitey until(if the homo-hating black militants get their way)he gets in the White House then the pan-african flag(the red, black and green) will be seen everywhere.
NObama!!!

Ms Churchill
A TRUE PREJUDICE INDIVIDUAL.
Girl give it a rest Hilary won Kentucky the KKK’s voted for her in droves. It’s the rest of the country don’t see it that way.
Girl cheer up. See it doesn’t pay to be prejudice
OBAMA/CLINTON 08′
If you like it or not queen……HAHAHAHA

Someone did say we needed to begin “opening a conversation on race” and “taking the matter on squarely”. like it or not, this is what that conversation can look like.

CHURCHILL-Y,
Is there a reason why you use the name Hussein Obama? I thought his full name was Barack Hussein Obama. You have no problem using Clinton’s full name. Why not Obama’s? Just wondering.

Ms C.
Get over it already! Obama wants to wipe out DOMA. He at least respects us and does not take our votes for granted like the Clintons.

Obama, McCain and Clinton support the status quo and NO GAY MARRIAGE for Gays and Lesbians. As such, as a self respecting gay man, I will not support any of these candidates as they do not support equal civil rights for our tribe. McCain, no surprise there. Obama and Clinton are both minorities, you would think that they would understand our plight and support gay marriage. BUT NO THEY DON’T. Not sure why any gay person is so excited about any of the three as they certainly are not excited about us.
James
“…you would think that they would understand our plight and support gay marriage.”
Why do people make the assumption minorities care about the issues of other minorities?
CHURCHILL-Y
No. 12 · James, even though I now you meant it in another way I couldn’t agree with you more hence the many examples reported of homophobic behavior perpetuated by blacks.
No. 7 · Mr C, out of jail so soon! or is it that you have managed to evade the cops? When are the authorities going to learn that you people always recapitulate. If they kept you in a correction facility for the proper amount of time perhaps they could show you to do some tricks and dances and you could start your integration into the work force by promoting in youtube your little acts like fredo777. Thanks for equating everyone who has voted for senator Clinton with the “KKK’s”, I’m sure only 13% of the population agrees with your thought, as they see evil in all American.
“Obama wants to wipe out DOMA. He at least respects us and does not take our votes for granted like the Clintons.”- So he respects us by befriending and including in his political camp homophobes like Meeks and others? Sounds to me that he is more than taking our votes for granted. Nothing he has done points out that he would wipe DOMA, on the contrary if anything it seems at best he would keep it as the status quo at the behest of african Americans. His half empty statements are only made in order to not make himself look as radical or bigoted as his buddies. And unless you’re black Vinman, you should research what he has done for us and who he aligns himself with before you start to drink his kool aid.
NObama!!!

Churchill-y, keep my name + my business out of your future rants.
Thanks.
Michelle
Wow, Churchill-y… THEY?
THOSE black people, over there. Not WE, but THEY.
You really need to meet more people of color.
FreeMe
Hahaha…churchill you are so funny girl. I get it now. You go to the absolute extreme and make outlandish and ridiculous statements about Obama and black people to show how crazy and absurd race haters can be. You are using irony to dispell black myths and break down the barriers between the races. It is fantastic. But for a moment, I think you got a few people pissed off. But now your true motive is revealed. You clever guy.
Keep it real my man. That is some funny shizizzle.
James
Church,
“James, even though I now you meant it in another way I couldn’t agree with you more hence the many examples reported of homophobic behavior perpetuated by blacks.”
You are funny baby. You bath your yourself in race talk but of course only point to others as the others who drink the race milk. Oh well. No need tio waste my time talking to ya. I will say this though: I meant exactly what I said. I didn’t mean it “another way.” Minorities do not have a special insight into the plight of others.
James
PS:
Please excuse the typos.
Mr C
Churchill Girl,
I’m not one of the working class,blue collar, lunchbucket,GE steam irons white workers as the media not me calls them.
But we all know they come in many colors. And should be respected as such and not just the WHITE ones!
And NO I did not say that all whites who voted for Clinton is KKK. However don’t play BITCH you keep calling Barack by his middle and last name only Hussein Obama which shows yours racist ignorance towards Blacks as well as muslims. That’s why he does that BillieXX. IGNORANCE
But Churchgirl you’re one of them girls who tries to playcate everything as if we’re crazy and prejudice and your’re just stating facts…YEAH YEAH
And Michelle he doesn’t need to meet any of people of color. Folks who are raised with those feelings have them EMBEDDED in their spirit and will never changed. And it’s sad this queen is young? Talk about Jeremiah Wright what about “learning these things in the home”
A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE
Well churchgirl you will have a chance again come Sat when the Rules committee will vote to say that Michigan can count as where only her name was on the ballot.Then if that is granted Hillz gets the Popular vote and maybe the superdelegates will the switch to her and then you can stop saying that Obama feels he should be entitled to it. When we all know he never said that nor felt that way. You just do!
Then there you have it Hillary Clinton clinches the Dems Nod for President.
And for sure will be defeated in Nov
Remember one thing Obama supporters will not be happy and will make sure she is DEAD ON ARRIVAL NOVEMBER 4TH 2008
TRUST! KOOL AID OR NOT
We won’t be hoodwink by Bill and Hill
Now go and feed dem horses over yonder at CHURCHILL DOWNS!
CHURCHILL-Y
Latrine mouth Mr C, backtracking on your KKK statement like Barack Hussein is on Iran? I don’t need to “playcate” anything as if you’re “crazy and prejudice” time and time again news reports come out of black antics that do that quite well.
“Remember one thing Obama supporters will not be happy and will make sure she is DEAD ON ARRIVAL NOVEMBER 4TH 2008” Another threat Mr C? Not only are you and your friends going to riot and spit on people but you are going to take it to another level? Just shows your hypocrisy. Hussein’s name was in the Florida ballot and people still choose Hillary, he choose to remove his from Michigan’s, if you and your kind where so pro democracy as you want to make yourselves seem you would be cheering not only for the votes to be counted but for a re vote.
Michelle , I have no problem with the few respectful, non-hypocritical blacks, its people like Mr c and others who post here and which make up the majority of their group that I take issue with because they choose to take issue with honest hardworking and progressive Americans.
NObama!!!
fredo777
lmao
Progressive.
– sigh –
– wipes tear –
CHURCHILL-Y
And before the militants get all up in my ass, I meant – “Hussein’s name was in the Florida ballot and people still CHOSE Hillary, he CHOSE to remove his from Michigan’s”
NObama!!!
CHURCHILL-Y
fredo777, stick with your little youtube videos hun, who knows perhaps someday some Zoo agent will spot you and land you some much needed work.
CHURCHILL-Y
Almost forgot, I already explained my reason for using his name, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
You militant bitches are tiresome.
p.s. Kid A, I kept my promise.
fredo777
Churchill, the day I take advice from you will be the day George Dubya + Cheney get hitched.
Probably not even then.
FreeMe
Churchill, you missed my irony. My point was that you are a clown, and your rantings are so bizarre and irrational, no one should take you seriously.
The next time you look in the mirror, you can blame yourself (and people like you) for why Clinton lost. It has nothing to do with race or color. Rather, it is that true progressives and Democrats wanted nothing to do with people like you (and Clinton) who are so bankrupt in character and principles that they do and say anything to win.
Your racial bigotry is only one part of your multi-colored clown face now being displayed. I am certain that if Obama were Jewish instead of black you would likewise be making anti-semitic slurs against him and his supporters.
I know progressives and Democrats very well and your fingers should have caught fire when you typed those words because you are neither.
Mr C
Thanks Free Me,
I’ve just released myself from responding to ingnorant individuals such as CHURCHILL. You’re right she knows nothing about progressive democrats.
As for the for the bigotry she got it from The Parents!
SHAME ON THEM
