184. Imus is a parallel
Barack Obama stated unequivocally that he would not tolerate racism and would never allow a racist in his campaign. Then he went as far as to publicly demand the firings of Imus and Tanner. After that he puts McClurkin and other open homophobes on stage in his own campaign event despite protests and pleas to remove them. Why the profound hypocrisy? Why does he denounced racism and even demand racists be silenced, yet give homophobes a stage and microphone?



HRC publicly went on the attack BEFORE the event took place by telling bloggers that they has thretended Obama that they would publcal demand hecancel the event. HRC picked the fight with the OBama Campaign.


Donnie McClurkin had already made many horrifically homophobic statements prior to the Obama campaign event. Why should HRC have felt compelled to wait for him to go on that stage and make more before they raised their voices in protest? That's exactly what they were trying to prevent.

You, along with Obama, seem to have double standards for the black and LGBT community. Why?
