Reply #191: 'a damn concert performer' [View All]

Damned, yes obviously. But to characterize McClurkin as just a performer ignores the actual issue which is that he is a 'minister' with a church and he preaches against gays, and he did so at Obama events. He goes on 700 Club and bashes gays, not in song but in spoken word. As a 'performer' his most famous show was GOP Convention 2004 where he sang to and for George W Bush on national television. Donnie Wept for W.
So this man is a Republican activist, a minister and a promoter of anti-gay religious bigotry, and he does all of those things in addition to being a 'damn concert performer'. Intellectual dishonesty is what you are playing, because if McClurkin had merely performed a concert we would not be having this discussion right now. That is the fact. You are defending a 700 Club staple and one of GW Bush's strongest boosters.
And one more thing- it is not just McClurkin. It is also Kirbyjon Caldwell 'spiritual advisor' to GW Bush, also with Obama, also an ex-gay bigot. Called up Bush to ask permission to boost Obama. Bush said sure thig Rev. It is also Hezikiah Walker, another singer/preacher of hate. It is alos Sister Siser, yet another singing act that equates gays to murderers.
What is the difference between these Fundies and the ones that the GOP uses to drive wedges? As you see it? How is McClurkin different from Dobson?
