Obama is against gay marriage.

between a man and a woman.

I hope all those Obama supporters realize that he does not support gay marriage and is opposed to homosexuals getting married.



according to some on A2K, context is not important. Only what one has said.

It isn't an analagous situation to the KKK example I posted?

One can have a personal issue with something, without feeling that their personal issue should drive public policy. Can't they?

Why don't you (the collective you) feel the same way about Obama saying it, as you do some Christian on a Homophobe thread. Many of them share the same views with Obama. Equality.

...talking about the "towelhead" incident.

Don't go trying to add context. This is about the quote above. When you try to add context, you tend to change what a quote says. Especially if it says something you are opposed to. Take a look at the inhofe quote and the discussion about context on the homosexual marriage thread.

Now that's a dam racist statement if I ever heard one.

I did. In the Inhofe case, the context affirmed that Inhof believes in protecting traditional family values, and that denying marriage to gays is one way to do it. The context didn't add much to the information the short quote conveyed. Your Obama snippet, by contrast, does not convey that he considers the amendmend a red herring, and that he will vote against it.

But you know that, don't you?

But you didn't know what the context was, and to some, it didn't matter. It only mattered that a Repbublican sounded anti-gay marriage.

Countdown to guessing who's alter the coffee cup is. I'm thinking it's Harper #9. But, it could be MOAN. I shall investigate.

Meanwhile, cyclo.

I think we've heard other people say the SAME stuff as Obama, and many people here have been comfortable saying that all those who oppose gay marriage must be homophobic.

I don't see how anyone can exclude Obama from that. But, no response necessary if you've said all about it that you care to.

Miller, click the word "statement" which is in blue.

I'm patiently waiting for any of the liberals on here to step up and admit that Obama is a bigoted homophobe for believing that marriage is between a man and a woman. After all, I have been repeatedly referred to in the same manner even though my views are much the same as his appear to be. I too would support a contract/civil union for gays that would extend most if not all of the rights the government allows for married couples. Yet Debra, the many reincarnations of Harper and others still insist I am a bigot and a homophobe. Maybe if I change my name to Obama and become a democrat my views will be granted a measure of tolerance that democrats claim to be famous for. Naw, they'll probably just point at me and say something about a wolf in sheep's clothing.
