If a Republican or some other idiot tries to mislead you concerning Warren's support for gay people

[brentspeak]

This is all you need to know:

Elizabeth Warren pushes Obama to 'Evolve, already' (on accepting and endorsing gay marriage rights)

Elizabeth Warren pushes to end blood donation ban for gay men

Elizabeth Warren Voices Support For Gay Rights, Urges Defense Of Marriage Act Repeal

[joeybee12]

1. Basically she's the same as most Dems these days...

All these positions are safe nowadays.

[brentspeak]

2. Pushing for the FDA to allow gay men to donate blood is a "safe position"???

[joeybee12]

4. Yup...because the FDA is way behind on this...

Please don't try and convince me she's some sort of leader on issues affecting LGBT...she's not...plenty others are against this ban...we're pretty much the only country that still has it.

[xfundy]

34. Yes. Donated blood is screened.

Save having the vapors for something else.

[cali]

38. Yes. It's hardly an out of the norm opinion.

[truebluegreen]

12. Keyword being "nowadays".

It wasn't as safe when she pushed Obama to evolve already!--into publicly backing a position he already held but had disavowed when running for office. Safe nowadays is not the same as safe then.

[dsc]

20. In a state which had marriage equality for 7 years?

she wasn't running for the Senate in NC where Hagan came out for equality less than a year after she did.

[msanthrope]

3. Didn't you already get a hide for posting this exact thread? nt

[yardwork]

5. Why would this OP be hidden?

[msanthrope]

6. Because it's a callout......

[yardwork]

13. So? There's no rule against that.

I guess this is part of the primary war. I haven't been paying much attention. As a gay person, I'm used to being a political football. Let's just stipulate that neither Hillary Clinton nor Elizabeth Warren are homophobes. I trust them both to look out for gay rights. Ok?

[zappaman]

14. Calling another DUer "idiot" is likely why it got hidden.

Make sense?

[msanthrope]

17. I think calling another DUer an "idiot" is against the rules. nt

[davidpdx]

37. So is calling someone an asshole, or at least one would think so.

I was on a jury the other day (not related to this topic at all) and they voted to keep it (I voted to hide it). The rules are subject to interpretation unfortunately.

[bvar22]

39. May be agains the rules, but it is sooooo appropriate sometimes.

[sabrina 1]

46. Really? Then I can think of a whole lot of posts that should have been hidden.

I though juries decide now what is against the rules or not.

[appalachiablue]

30. Right, both would look out for gay rights based on their record.

[brentspeak]

7. Why would this thread right here be hidden?

Who would object? Republicans? Religious conservatives? Trolls?

[Skittles]

26. idiots!!!

[Ms. Toad]

27. The DU member, among others, you were calling an idiot

in both the other thread that was hidden and this one, and even those of us who just think that it is not helpful to call people idiots to make your point that you believe Warren has a strong supportive position for LGBT individuals.

How about just self-deleting and just letting it drop - or starting a 3rd thread that supports Warren without trashing members of DU by calling them idiots and comparing them to Republicans.

[zappaman]

8. Cool. Has she said anything about the heinous, homophobic bullshit

Going on in Indiana?

[RKP5637]

9. Excellent question! n/t

[brentspeak]

10. Oh, it's clear that she supports Indiana's new anti-gay law.

[zappaman]

11. So, that's a no? n/t

[brentspeak]

15. "No", what?

Why don't you call Warren's office and ask? Why waste your time here?

[zappaman]

16. Its just a question.

Sorry if it stumped you.

[brentspeak]

18. Seems to be stumping you

As is the obvious solution.

[zappaman]

19. Sorry you don't know the answer to this very simple question.

Be sure to let us know when you have an answer?

[brentspeak]

21. I will never know the answer to the question

as to why you're still on this forum asking people the same question over and over and over again.

[zappaman]

22. But it's enough to upset you soooooo much

That you created one OP that got hid and this OP which is slightly less of a callout.
So, I guess one of us is more bothered by the question...

"Has Senator Warren made any statement about the recent hateful things going down in Indiana?"

As to why that question upsets you so, I cannot say.

[brentspeak]

23. Doesn't upset me nearly as much as does your username

Zappa was pretty smart and honest dude. I don't think he'd appreciate you using his name.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. Some folks can't focus on more than one thing at a time.../NT

[bvar22]

40. Clearly, you don't know the answer to this "very simple question" either.

Ever heard of Google?

[zappaman]

44. No. Can you "google" for me?

I don't feel good today...

[bvar22]

49. I've done MY work.

It is past time you started doing your own.

[JaneyVee]

24. I think the joke went over your head.

The OP you're referring to was mocking another OP for questioning whether Hillary made a public statement about Wall Street withholding donations. So the mocking OP wondered if Warren had made a public statement about Indiana, because Hillary already did

[Comrade Grumpy]

43. Apparently not so far. I guess she's now disqualified.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2015/03/30/here-are-all-the-people-and-businesses-protesting-indianas-religious-freedom-law/

But Hillary did speak out. I guess the nomination belongs to her then.

This is all some silly shit.

[NuclearDem]

28. A wonderful case study in doubling down.

[RiverLover]

29. Elizabeth Warren marching in the 2012 Boston Gay Pride Parade

[Major Hogwash]

36. Great picture, let them enter it into evidence, mark it Exhibit A.

Then when they go for the torches and pitchforks, we will show them this evidence to get them to stop.

[bvar22]

41. How many other "Democrats" have marched in Gay Rights parades?

I KNOW how many marched in the "Stop the War" marches (zero).

[Bluenorthwest]

31. I think it is proper to pressure elected officials to speak on issues of vital interest.

The whole 'don't question the Senator' routine is elitist garbage, and attempting to purchase for your candidate good standing with LGBT people by being dismissive and rude to LGBT people is pretty daft.

[Doctor_J]

32. so she was an outspoken supporter BEFORE the president was

And since the president's now a hero to the DU glbt, Sen Warren should be in their good graces as well. I'm glad we put this issue to bed

[xfundy]

35. hmmm.

[Rex]

42. I don't doubt her stance, I was wondering if she mentioned the new law in Indiana.

As did many other people.

[zappaman]

45. Apparently, asking that question means you think Warren

Is against equal rights.

[Number23]

47. I have alerted twice on this thread and keep getting this message

A jury was not selected for this post because it was locked by a Host.

[Comrade Grumpy]

48. Gee, that's too bad for you.

[Number23]

50. Judging by the responses, seems much worse for the OP than for me
