Or are you just hoping the rest of us can't retain a memory for three months?

I'll make it easy for you:

That's not "6,000 chances," but 700,000 -- the total membership of the HRC.

Did you forget that the National Black Justice Coalition made its displeasure known to The One? Yes, I'm sure you have conveniently forgotten that, too, so here it is:

Even Obama supporters were kicking the issue around, on Obama's own campaign site:

Of course, if you're going to say Obama doesn't pay attention to his own supporters, on his own site, then you've got a bigger problem with your candidate than you do with us pesky gays.

And if you can remember how to work The Google, you'll find, oh, I dunno, probably a few thousand blog posts on the subject. And then there are the columnists -- everyone from Green Greenwald to Earl Ofari Hutchinson. (I'm sure writers like Keith Boykin and Jasmyne Cannick and Pam Spaulding won't count in your book, 'cause, after all, they're gay.)

And since your memory banks seem to be fried, I'll remind you that while DU Obamaites were insisting that nobody outside a few uppity queers on DU ever heard of McClurkin, much less cared about his fuck-the-gays-for-Obama speech, the story was picked up more than a few times by CNN, Fox, WaPo -- why, just about the whole damned MSM.

Finally, why do you think Obama tried to appease LGBTs with his hamfisted gesture of hiring a gay preacher in a lame attempt to offset McClurkin's vile spew? You think St. Barack came up with that stupid idea for any other reason? You think it came to him in a dream?

You know, Perky, I should really thank you for giving me the opportunity to refresh a lot of dulled (or dead) memories with the very truth I'm sure you didn't want resurrected here. So: Thank you.

Any other questions?
