36. Shouting down people who are fighting for equality

is profoundly and fully wrong. There can never be any excuses for it in my book. We either unequivocally support those who speak truth to power or we don't. I think Obama can withstand this - he was the one who kept quoting Roosevelt's line about "I agree with you - now make me do it." He gets how this process works. Part of giving him cover to act forcefully on this is for this type of protest to receive consistent coverage, so that the average American begins to understand that this isn't about one interest group or one issue, but rather this is about who we are as a country - what kind of soul we have as a nation.
