80. Interesting you bring up Don Imus
Edited on Fri Jan-11-08 02:57 AM by BuffyTheFundieSlayer
Barack Obama called for Don Imus to be fired after he made the racist remarks about the Rutgers University Basketball team.

Barack Obama called for Voting Section Chief John Tanner to be fired after he made racist remarks.

After doing that Barack Obama used at least five virulent homophobes for his Embrace the Change gospel tour. One of them was Donnie McClurkin, who emceed the event and gave a 30-minute anti-gay sermon at the end.


Why should we dismiss Obama's blatant hypocrisy? Racism is so bad that it must be silenced, but homophobia can be given a stage and a microphone?

And if Hillary Clinton, John Edwards or another candidate had hosted a campaign fundraiser concert with an act like Prussian Blue would you or others be telling black people to "get over it"?
