So... Hillary's a racist and Obama's a homophobe. Who are ya voting for now?

[Kucinich4America]

I have a non-bigoted candidate, thank God (Buddha/Allah/Spaghetti Monster/Great Spirit/Krishna/insert your favorite here)

[jlake]

1. Hmm.... I think we have a good, progressive candidate and a race-baiting homophobe to choose from.

I'll take the good progressive, Hillary Clinton.

[flvegan]

3. Christ I'm gonna puke.

Progressive and Hillary are two words that don't mix well together.

[jlake]

5. Okay. Thanks for the great analysis. So insightful, and honest.

Let me guess, you support Kucinich......

[flvegan]

7. Yes I do, and quite proudly.

There's VERY little that's "progressive" about Hillary Clinton. Well, unless war and the Patriot Act are now "progressive".

[asthmaticeog]

4. What are you on?

Must be some potent shit for Hillary to look "progressive" to you.

[DaLittle Kitty]

25. Please Define Progressive. It's More Than Just Self-Describing Ones' Self HillBill IS A Corporatist!

:nuke:

[Yael]

26. !!!!

:rofl:

I just about choked on my tea when I read that.

You run with that. :thumbsup:

[Yael]

27. In fact, I feel very strongly that this should have its own thread.

[flvegan]

2. Not only non-bigoted, but the only one supporting gay marriage.

One of the BIG reasons he's my candidate.

Dunno why he doesn't get the LGBT support he deserves around here, though.

[KennedyGuy]

6. cause he's an anti gay bigot...

that might have something to do with it..

[flvegan]

8. How so?

Be specific.

[KennedyGuy]

16. Umm..Donnie McClurkin?

[flvegan]

20. Um, Kucinich is my candidate my friend.

Not Obama.

[Auntie Bush]

12. Obama supports Gay marriage?

I hadn't heard that! But I don't think he's anti-gay. He's just trying to get the anti-gay Rethug vote. That's a reasonable political strategy. Gays may not like it and that's understandable but they should also understand his strategy and realize as president he would never do anything anti-gay. I guess he believes there are more anti-gags Rethugs out there than there are gays so it's to his advantage. I'm not gay so I guess it's easier for me to forgive this tactic. If I were gay...I probably wouldn't.

[flvegan]

15. No, Obama is against gay marriage.

One of his many flaws.

Kucinich supports gay marriage.

[terrya]

18. No, I don't understand letting those "ex-gay" types on his campaign.

Nor will I try to understand.

[Perry Logan]

9. Keep in mind--many Obama supporters are full of shit.

[Kucinich4America]

23. Funny that I only see one Obama supporter in this thread.

And he posted after you did, so I really don't know who you are talking about.

[LoZoccolo]

10. Are you talking about Kucinich, the misogynist with the trophy wife? n/t

[flvegan]

11. Ooh, score one for Oasis!

I love tired schtick.

[LoZoccolo]

13. One thing I like about Dennis though is his teeth.

He has very nice teeth. If he had any tooth decay, then that would be 100% proof positive that he was on meth.

[flvegan]

14. Indeed.

Thanks for the best from Obamanation. It's all you got. Enjoy.

[no name no slogan]

17. ...and how many elections have YOU won?

Hint: many many less than Dennis Kucinich.

[LoZoccolo]

19. I don't have to run for President to get nookie is why.

Same reason he lied to Shirley MacLaine about seeing a UFO.

[flvegan]

21. Someone's jealous.

[varelse]

22. No, she's not a racist

and no, he's not a homophobe.

There are many reasons for a progressive voter to support Dennis Kucinich. Kucinich supporters do not need to repeat ugly slander about the front running candidates to get support for him. The man speaks well enough on behalf of progressives to have attracted my allegiance - no mudslinging about the alleged bigotry of the top three contestants was necessary, thank you very much :(

[Kucinich4America]

24. I'm not the one doing the mudslinging.

But it's out there, and it's a fact that camp Hillary has been using race and religion to scare people away from Obama, where Obama is scaring away people on his own by associating with idiots who are just slightly to the left of Fred Phelps on LGBT issues.

Scariest of all though, is the thought of this causing a defection from Obama to Hillary, because that would doom this country to 8 more years of the Bush-Clinton nightmare.

Right now, I couldn't vote in good conscience for either of them. I will NEVER change my mind about Hillary, and Obama is running out of chances to condemn these idiots who speak hatred on his behalf.
