Daily Kos Diary: Obama Doesn't Mock Gay Rights Protestors at CA Fundraiser. (Updated)

And manufacture things to be upset about... when in reality, there is plenty of ACTUAL wrongs to be upset about!

Honesty still means something, and I think we should hold our own feet to the fire and make damn well sure we're speaking the truth when we get whipped to a frenzy! It waters down all our legitimate concerns when we get caught up in this stupidity.

Outrage debunked.

Now...onward!

he had no idea who he was talking about.

Is he really that dense? Does he think we're really that dense? Apparently so.

Sorry.

or are you relying on the same sources as your ill advised diary?

and Code Pink?

.

Way too highly. Lucky if you get a 10 second spot on CNN.

they wanted him to acknowledge the Armenian genocide when he spoke to the Turkish parliament.

so as to who might be dense ... hmmmmm.

When you get your donor star, you should definitely come hang out in AAIG. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=258

well then, no problem. now watch this drive as i look under my desk for non-existent WMDs.

from what i'm reading.

it's kinda hard when you're giving a speech.

FAIL

Obama on the Armenian Genocide issue.

i saw the video of this earlier, and i don't know how anyone could possibly call that mocking. now you might disagree that he wasn't aware of what the protest was about (though there were several groups), he probably did (he's not dumb); but i thought the point of his remarks was very clear. after singling out the "keep your promises" line he went on to say that he finds that sometimes people don't realize just how fast his administration has moved on a lot of things over the last 4 months, relative to previous admins; i took his comments as a pretty clear indication that he's more than aware of what he's promised the gay community, even if he's not moving based on the arbitrary time table that some people have decided to hold him to.
some people wanted him to make a direct statement about about prop 8, and he didn't; but there's no way what he said was an attempt to mock the protesters or gay rights advocates.

be something to bring out the haters. Personally, I think this is the way to go..

because my alter ego over at freeptard central advocates party purity. i want to help them purge.

It can be hard telling the sincere deranged purists from the trolls in FReepistan.

Everyone thinks my alter ego on Free Republic is a Muslim. :)

That'd give 'em a guilty thrill.

They already think I'm a black Muslim. To them, that is wayyy bad enough. The stripper part would the cherry on top of the aneurysm. :)

From that thread...

We can only pray that the Messiah will take this fools advice.

My evil alter-ego over on the DUmmies board pushes this advice all the time. It either infuriates the left when Zero stays silent, or it will scare the political middle by the 2012 elections.

being a freeper troll?

Nor did I suggest it. I strongly support marriage equality, myself. But, if Obama declines to do so, or further temporizes on the issue, I will continue to support him because I can appreciate the political lay of the land even though I don't like it -- and it does make me suspicious when some condemn the president for not taking a course that would put him in an extremely precarious position, politically speaking. It can make me wonder about motives. The lessons of Naderite purism (largely funded by cunning conservatives) should after all still be rather fresh from 2000. I am accustomed to making pragmatic compromises I'd rather avoid in a better world. Alas, I suspect I'll never have the pleasure of casting my presidential ballot for a fellow atheist and will have to continue to settle for professed Christians with more-or-less reasonable views. At best maybe an irreligious candidate dissembling as Christian.

He wasn't mocking or being condescending. More fake outrage

falling for the divide and conquer bullshit

with him over the Armenian Genocide issue. unlike Bush they don't shield him from any knowledge of protests.
