      FUCK Obama

      He is just like that homophobe cracker country-fuck singer John Rich. The ONLY reason Obama is retracting his bullshit viewpoint is that he has all but lost EVERYONE left of the fucking Bible (and their future $) and is panicking BIG TIME. What a stupid PUSSY. If you are so fucking broken that you believe the HATEFUL SHIT that Obama stands for– THEN FUCKING STAND UP FOR IT you fucking coward (Obama). Fuck You- Fuck your run for President. You JUST LOST — DUMBASS!!!

      Obama is OVER! People need to send a message to him LOUD and Clear that he can hate all the gay people he wants– and then wait to apologize to them once he's embarrassed on National Television (and train-wreck his campaign all the more). His inexperience dealing with the simplest of fucking situations (and allowing them to turn into disasters- the way this has) is EVERY REASON why NO ONE WILL END UP VOTING for his stupid, sorry ass. What a cowardly fucking creep Obama really is…

      it's still ridiculous. he's pandering to everyone and isn't making a solid statement. on the right you have a major anti-gay reverend and on the left a gay reverend. so he's trying to get the conservative christians to go to the right and the gays to go to the left and meet up in the middle? that's not going to happen. he needs to choose right or left and stick to it.

      Hey Jack. Try telling Jesus and his good friend Barak Obama how dead they are when they send your gay ass down to the fiery furnace of HELL where you belong (for all of burning eternity)… The problem that you athiests have is that you lie awake at night wondering if any of this shit is real… Know what I do at night? I thank my good friend Jesus for delivering a gay-hating WARRIOR like Barak to planet Earth so that the promised people of the USA won't have to live with them much longer. Then I go to sleep and dream of all of the incredible changes that Barak will bring to this country in 2009!!!

      Look. Obama is black. He is pushing the black agenda. Gays are fools if they think black people, because they are a minority as are gay people, are supportive of the gay equal rights agenda. Fact: Black people as a culture hate gay people.

      If not Obama, then who? The fact is because gay people are a minority, we have to make concessions. Is it right, hell no, but it's necessary. As long as his record has proven a position of compliance with civil rights, including those of gays, what the fuck is the problem? Let's leave the land of gypsies and rainbows and be realistic for a fucking second.

      He makes a good point. We should be all-inclusive. He's not aligning himself with this anti-gay minister. He is being tolerant, which is what LGBT preach, and trying to open the discussion to all Americans. He can unite us all because he is trying to not alienate anyone. If you look at his record he is a strong supporter of LGBT issues!

      BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.-YES THIS IS HIS REAL NAME-WAS RAISED BY TWO MUZLIMS MEN, HIS FATHER AND HIS STEPFATHER. HE IS A MUZLIM AT HEART, NOT A CHRISTIAN. HE IS JUST PRETENDING HE IS A CHRISTIAN. AND JUST PRETENDING HE LIKES HOMOSEXUALS AND LESBIANS. HE DOESN'T.

      HE IS NOT GOING TO WIN, BUT NOT BECAUSE HE IS BLACK AND A MUZLIM, BUT BECAUSE HILLARY CLINTON IS THE DEVIL AND SHE WILL MAKE SURE HE WILL BE DISCREDITED AND DESTROYED. SHE WANTS TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF UNITIED ESTATES, AND WILL STOP AT NOTHING.

      AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT SHE THINKS. HER WORST ENEMY IS NOT OBAMA, BUT US, THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE.

      Nobody here seems to get that a candidate with a pro-homosexual marriage stance is UNELECTABLE in America. By forcing his hand - gays are basically destroying his campaign. There just aren't enough of y'all to get ANYONE with that extreme opinion into office - but if you keep sabotaging people who at least "sympathize" you will end up in a worse position. Even ol' Hillary knows full well she can't promote a gay marriage amendment and expect to win - it won't happen. You are all cutting off your noses to spite your face - push and push on this single issue — and watch middle america elect gay-unfriendly candidates. Then point the finger of blame — at yourselves.

      Re: jess – Good point. (not being sarcastic here) But isn't it sort of like McArthism, when we are telling candidates who they can and can't associate with on their campaigns? And what's wrong with being friends or getting support from people who you might not necessarily agree with all the time? McGlurkin (gospel singer in question) hasn't even been anti-gay! He's simply said that he doesn't believe in gay marriage. And there is a difference. A lot of people sit on the fence like that- they may not support gay marriage, but are just fine with the gay community, and don't make any trouble for them. However… I haven't heard ALL of the facts about McGlurkin (sp?), and so for all I know, he might be a huge homophobe. But just from what I've heard (so far) he is simply only against gay marriage. And so is Obama himself. (Although he is for civil unions) I'm not sure how I feel about that personally. I mean, if you are ok with civil unions… why not just let them get married too? I don't get it. Being in the middle like that, is only a way to pander to both crowds (the gays and the religious) and I've never felt that was ok. But I like Obama. The man is not perfect, but he's a helluva lot better than what we've got now, and I like him better than Hillary. Anyway, great discussion! Thanks!

      Re: Sherry
      i read in an article that mclurkin was saying homosexuality was a curse. and some other stuff. i agree that candidates should be able to associate with whomever they like. but they also need to be careful, if not, you get what's happening now. in the end, it hardly matters what obama really stands for and what mclurkin really stands for, it's what the general people think about this whole thing. and whether it's correct or narrow minded, obama should have considered this beforehand. what he's done really brings up the question what is he REALLY for? and of course, no one can answer that.

      i don't get the civil union vs. marriage thing either. i really do think it's just a safe middleground that the candidates have placed themselves into. i think it's wrong and unfair. the only basis that marriage is for men and women only is from the bible. and this isn't a theocracy. i guess the way things are we're lucky to be getting that much out of the candidates. (i'm also surprised with guiliani taking the pro-choice/civil union trek. i'm kind of relieved, too…if a republican has to win, i hope it's him)

      and i think almost anyone could be better than what we have now. so i'm in the colbert for pres crowd! hahaha

      I forgot to mention to all of the haters out there that I am a well informed person- I try to research everything that I can for my internet musings- and when deciding to support Barack Obama and I stand by my meticulous research on both counts. I have discovered that McGlurkin believes (as I do) that homosexuality is a curse… And if there is a cosmic witch that places the homosexual curse on us, then we need to find a heterosexual spell that can take the sex-curse off of the poor gay men, women and trannies of the United States. I believe that by voting for Barack– we can stop this curse and all of you gay posters can discover the incredible joy of heterosexuality (as well as the undying love of Jesus Christ himself). Join me to change the future!

I mean seriously! People like you look so ridiculous trying to carry on conversations with the "big kids", you know what I mean? By all means feel free to disagree with my viewpoints, but simply telling me to fuck off is immature. If you're so smart and think I'm such a dumbass, then actually BRING SOMETHING TO THE CONVERSATION and share your own viewpoint! Otherwise, quit wasting everybody's time on here. Usually I just ignore people like you, but when little kids act up… sometimes they need a little discipline. What can I say?

      It would be really nice if the people on this board would learn what they are talking about. A case of the opressed becoming the opressors is what is going on here. Barak Obama has been and remains an ally to the gay community. Taking an audience with someone who is anti-gay only means that you are having a dialogue. If people with conflicting viewpoints never associated, their would not be a little thing called Democracy. The gay agenda is certainly valid, but gay activists have to keep in mind that they do tend to live in a bubble. The gay population is but a small aprt of the country. No presidential candidate needs it to win, in fact, being to pro gay could do more damage then good to a campaign. The fact that Obama has been outspoken in his support of the gay community says way more than the fact that this singer will be at an event. There is nothing wrong with associating with people who have differing views, its actually a breath of fresh air to see a politician reach out to everyone, as oppose to just who he thinks can get him elected. This Barak hating on this issue is unwaranted and says more about the intolerance of a segment of the population who should be among the first to understand that their is, was and always will be differences among Americans. Its part of living in a free society.

      He said what he meant. That's a dangerous thing to do in politics or society these days. Maybe people wouldn't be so CONFUSED about what politicians are or believe in IF the politican could say it without being jumped on - wouldn't you rather know the truth? If you DID, it would shock you how many people are really against homosexuality. But no one says it. Because they don't want to look bad. think about it.

      The association of the gay rights movement of now to the civil rights movement of the 50s-60s is completely off base. While gays do have to deal with prejudices, they are not the second class citizens that they would have you believe. gay people can vote, work and well represented in the media. Yes there are unfair stereotypes, but all groups must deal with that, even heterosexual white males (though, not as much). African Americans were fighting for the simple rights to vote, to be educated and to not be, literally, segregated from society. We don't live in a perfect world, but gay people have a lot more options than blacks in the 50's. I would beg of the hardliners pushing this anti-Obama agenda to step back and have some perspective. Spend a few days with no gay people and not refrencing everything back to the fact that you are gay, you may find that their is a larger world.

      Not everything can float around the fact that homosexuals exist. Barak Obam is not the enemy of the gay community. Time spent on this kind of nonsense just makes the gay community look like a bunch of whining, impatient and misinformed queens. I know that isn't the case, but it sure comes off that way. Like all special interest groups, they are susceptible to narrow self-interest at the expense of the greater good. Protesting Barak will only set you back, it is all but a forgone conclusion that he would be a more effective leader as gar as the gay community is concerned than would be Hillary Clinton or any Republican running for office. Make sure you are careful about what flags you raise and choose your battles. This could be much more damaging to your cause than you realize.

      Re: Might Makes RIGHT – What's the matter sweetie, bitter over not being able to find a boyfriend to fuck your ass because you only have 3 teeth and you weigh 600 pounds and your dick's only an inch long hard…or are you a closet dyke desperate to find some pussy? Posts like yours only make people remember Shakespear's line about protesting too much, but I'm afraid the reference probably sails way above your ability to comprehend it. And YES I'm an athiest, I guess even ignorant assholes with second grade educations like you can figure that out, but I NEVER lie around wondering if things are real, I much prefer to spend that particular time laughing at all the dumb hicks like you who just can't live if they can't believe in some PHONY god that's going to give them some trumped up heaven to live in after they die. And even if the god you SO FOOLISHLY worship did exist, I'd pick Satan anyway, cause your god is as big of an asshole as you are and I want no part of him. So have yourself a big steaming bowl of your own explosive diarreah, (thanks Oracle, that was a great line) dream about your phony heaven, AND STICK YOUR BIG OL BIBLE UP YOUR TOTALLY UPTIGHT ASS. And in closing let me thank you for being here, I needed to be entertained today and your absolutely ridiculous posts have had me laughing at you all afternoon. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ……

      Re: jess – Again… good points! But personally I still don't see what all the fuss is about. (However now that McGlurkin's past comments with regard to homosexuality have been brought into the light, I DO question if perhaps he is too polarizing of a figure to have brought on the campiagn trail.) But Obama has publicy shown his support for the gay community from day one, so why is it so hard to believe now that he doesn't really feel that way because he brought a religious gospel singer along with him? if you invite a religious person to tag along with you, even though you might be more liberally minded, chances are you two aren't going to agree on everything. But Obama's campaign has been one of "inclusiveness" from the start. How would it have looked if he turned down his offer to sing, simply becuse he doesn't agree with him on every bloody issue?? Look, Bush pandered to the religious right way too much, and look where that got us! But at the same time, I don't want the Democratic candidate to pander to the liberal and gay crowd too much either. Otherwise, what's the point?? I'd rather somebody be more centered, and quit pandering to the special interest groups all together, and just stick to their own message, and BE HONEST, even if that means it costs them the election. To me, that's what sets Obama apart from Hillary. (Although I'd take her any day over Mitt Romney. *shudder*)

I knew there were some real idiots on here, but I didn't realize that people were actually THAT horrible. Jesus, GROW UP PEOPLE! Bring something to the conversation for a change!! This crap you are pulling by "pretending" to be me, is just that- it's "playing pretend", which I haven't done since the 5th grade.

      I've been reading Obama's book Audacity of Hope. He's a decent man who wants to help our country reform politics and get rid of the bi-partisanship of this country. He wants to bring politics back to the center of what this country stands for. I feel ashamed that people of this country are calling him such horrible names and are full of such hate. He's a fresh voice. For those of you who are bashing him, rather than spend your time with stupid hate filled comments on this board, maybe you should take the time to see who he is and what he stands for. Otherwise you'll believe the lies people like Henry Krinkle (poster on this board) want you to believe. Obama may not win, but his message is important and could influence the future of our country nonetheless. Pay attention.

      Sherry- when you make generalized statements about an organization (i.e. the schoolyard) as if it were some lowly toilet bown full of profanity and unsuitable language, you make the dreadful mistake of failing to realize that you are a fuck-face ho-bag cunt with as much intellectual firepower as Britney Spears on a "whip-it" bender. It is nasty, self righteous "Christian" bitches like you who were NEVER welcome on the schoolyard in the first place. That's right you stinky quaff- Every time you set foot on my fucking playground- to ride the swings and pretend that you had some friends- I would get sick to my school-yard guts and just WAIT for you to leave my fucking space (or that some of the playground equipment might cause some well-deserved injury). All I can tell you now you twitchy right-wing gay-bashing bitch- is that this Schoolyard has learned to type (at last) and I'm not afraid to use a bunch of four-letter words to put you in your dirty shit-clit, fuck-face, rank cunt-bag, pussey pussy, crack-ho place. On behalf of all playgrounds and schoolyards of the globe GO FUCK YOURSELF QUEENIE!!

      Why are you surprised that a Black Muslim hates gays? Muslim countries kill thousands of gays every year and the black community completely denies the existence of homosexuality.

      Actually, that was an imposterer thanking you for realizing that I am not impersonating myself. Once again, I am left with an intellectual quandry– how is it that I, Sherry can convince the teeming masses of this internet Gommorah that they should listen to my well researched pearls of hateful gay-hating wisdom and not the amateurishly silly contemptful gay-bashing "Sherry" who pretends to be someone as wise and wonderful as myself? Your suggestions are welcome my sinner minions…

All of the playground equipment and myself have been nothing but disappointed in the fucking mess that you turned out to be. By supporting gay-bashing Gospel you further plunge this fragile world into a new dark age of hatred and ignorance toward anything and anyone that you don't understand… And for this, we deem you a trashcan cuntface who can fucking fuck yourself off your shitty donkey-dick high horse and wake up to the fact that you are trying to be the all wise and pontificant fucking SAGE on PEREZ FUCKING HILTON you stupid nasty douche-breath Christian Kunt!
