[Apink420]

gays cant help the way they are but i dont believe they should be allowed to be married

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Discrimination for no reason whatsoever.

And people wonder why gays seem angry.

[silversatisfaction]

"you all sound like the crazy alah people from iraq, can't u think beyond what your parents stuck up your ass? by that I mean Religion"

[Rigger4100]

WOW this may be the most Socially relevant interview Barrack has made yet and I gaurantee it will never be brought up by the Liberal Media again because he is preaching tolerance and coexistence with people who disagree with your own beliefs.

Which the Left is completley against.

MSNBC is burning this coverage right now as we speak..Gauranteed.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

You rubes don't seriously still believe this "liberal media" myth, do you? Do you believe in the Easter Bunny, too?

The far right is always playing this sick word game, claiming "you're not tolerant unless you tolerate my intolerance, ha ha ha." By your pathetic standard, blacks should accept the KKK.

[joydarling314]

He picked who he wanted you Homosexuals can't have it your way all the time this is not Burger King. You give Homosexuals more than inch and they want to control everything.

[MrDefaulto]

The funniest part about pro-gay types is their use of the word "homophobic". First of all it doesn't make sense because it means fear of the same. We don't fear things that are the same we typically fear things that are different. But then that would be Heterophobic.

More importantly, why is it that if you have a problem with gays, you are "AFRIAD". RacIST, SexIST, homoPHOBIC? Gays are trying to feel powerful buy belittling others by saying they are cowards. It's a child's ploy.

[Icanonlywonder]

The only crime evident for those proclaimed to be 'homophobic'(without committal and prosecution)is that they do not agree with the GAY agenda. By this interpretation 'disagree' equates to 'fear'. The question is 'Who is afraid of what?'. It's hard to have a discussion when we are busy calling each other names.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

No, it's a fact. Bigots afraid that if gays get equality they'll "destroy marriage" or "destroy the family" are homophobic.

if you think sticking up for sexism, racism, homophobia, makes OTHERS a coward, well you just go on telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.

[SetGuard11]

vvv and stupid remarks should be kept in your mouth. this country was built under God, not science.

[silversatisfaction]

Globetrekker your a moron your bible is written by man idiots like you! anyways religion and politics don't mix so be gone!

[leesagrrl]

globetrekker2 :

Actually... you're as bigoted and vapid as Warren. See if you can get that surgically removed.

[AFamilyOfTrees]

Who gave him the right or knowledge to say that every single culture and every single religion has defined marriage as between a man and a woman. What about polygymous cultures, or two spirited people in first nations cultures? He basically just named off all the angry staple religions.

Someone should open up a can of diversity all over his hot bear ass.

[beethovenqueen]

Afamily: He doesn't have the right or even the facts. He's a bamboozler.

He increased the cases of AIDS in Africa by working through an African pastor who outed gays (names and addresses! and tried to promote abstinence. This inauguration is a farce.

[Antiworld23]

Every true christian is a "gay hater."

[d3u1d4e]

Every true Christian is defined by his love for Christ, and loving his neighbor as himself... hate the sin, not the sinner!

[mike50333]

So those who disagree with the right to gay marriage is a "gay hater"?

The Bible says to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". The Bible said nothing about "let the unrighteous walk all over you".

If you don't believe that a person can disagree on a certain issue without hating the person, then you are the one who is the "hater".

[fortyone0]

Did Rick Warren throw his conservative church members under the bus when he invited Obama to speak at his church?

Its interesting I don't know why anyone would consider this an important issue.

Obama also has another liberal paster that marched with MLK speaking at the inauguration as well.

When Obama talked to giving voice to people that don't agree with him as he said during his great speech on election night, those where more then just words. He's a new kind of President.

[123bigr]

Great comment FORTYONE0-Obama also invited a band that is the first gay act to be invited to participate in an inauguration. People need to calm down.There are people from all walks of life that will be participating, so chill. I think you should marry who ever you want to, but I respect others opinions. I agree to disagree with anyone. We all need to rally around each other and this new admin, so we can solve all of this mess Bush left us. Bush came in with no debt and a surplus,WHAT HAPPENED?

[merlingepte]

This is a defining moment for all. We don't have to agree or disagree with everything, but we can have unity in diversity to fight our social cancers.

[Rigger4100]

Far Left Dems and Liberals cant understand what Obama just said because they don't want to admitt or accept that others may not agree with thier own views and that we all need to co-exist peacefully.

This was not a political move at all , The Gay Community is just sore because they are finding out that Obama is not a far Left as they thought.

He has always been against Gay Marriage. Get over it.

[campvamp]

Notice how every politician who takes actions that are homophobic trots out the 'I have gay friends' card. Palin does exactly the same thing. And also, marriage 'began' thousands of years ago, in a time when people were even less tolerant. In a time when an accepted punishment for a crime was crucifiction. We have progressed. We no longer crucify people. So we should no longer limit marriage to heterosexuals. People were bigots 5000 years ago; all prop 8 is, is the continuation of bigotry.

[BenAliGtor]

This was a shrewd political move by Obama, reaching out to a (comparatively) moderate Evangelical and aiding in the ongoing dissolution of a monolitic Religious Right. Intelligent progressives will recognize that this has nothing to do with compromising ideals. Politics is about addition-not division.

As to the fundies who will pillory Warren for accepting this olive branch? By all means- CONTINUE to alienate yourselves further from mainstream Americans.

[Alize101586]

All Obama is trying to do is work from the ctr. bringing both Democrats and Republicans together. He even talked about this in his famous bood "Dreams From My Father" It's about working from the middle, not favoring one side more than the other.

[bentlybently]

I have lost all hope that Obama is not a fool. Inviting this other fool proves that he is and I wasted my vote. Gay people, understand what this means. Being against gay marriage is being against the most important human right that there is, the most personal. It is about YOUR family. When the blacks are having most of their babies without marriage, and whites are divorcing like mad, GAYS are the only ones who still respect the instituition. Obama is more "typical" then we hoped, shallow,wrong.

[mandj31507]

To start off, not every religion or society has defined marriage between a man and a woman, especially if we are going back 5,000 years. For example, the Greek culture was the most accepting. Also, he may deny being a homophobe, he makes the idea that gay individuals are not monogamous and that he has ideas of lust, and if we are preaching the bible, is condemned by the bible, and if led to adultery is punished by stoning. There's problems with choosing him in such a binding moment in history.

[WorldWarIIChannel]

mandj31507: What school did you go to to learn the history of world cultures? Mickey Mouse School of Learning?

[mandj31507]

I'm a person who only talks about what I know. So in my defense, I'll go through it logically. It wasn't uncommon for a man from Ancient Greece to another man as his lover, and vice versa for women, that's where they get the name for island of Lesbos. If you look up the Greek poet Sapho, she is credited with writing many poems for marriages between two people of the same sex. It spread to the Roman culture, as some of the emperors took another man. Mickey Mouse that shit and tell me I'm wrong.

[campvamp]

You're absolutely right. I think that, ironically, we've almost come full circle: from homosexuality (though unfortunately not gay marriage) being accepted in the ancient world, to it being considered an abomination, and now, to homosexuality almost becoming accepted again. I think it's hilarious that you're being called uneducated. Anyone who doesn't know that the ancient Greeks accepted - even encouraged - homosexuality should really go back to school or at least do research before they speak.

[mandj31507]

Notice though you picked the most credible comment, and the most thought out and logical one as well. What do you have to say that that'll correct me, because I would really love to know so I can get my facts right.

[WorldWarIIChannel]

mandj31507 ~

Well, let's look at USA: Prostitution is legal in Nevada. Drugs are available everywhere. Prostitution exists on the streets of Hollywood and many other cities, Chicago, New York for instance, flourishes. Barney Frank, powerhouse in government, lives with a man and is a voice in the homosexual community. Many people in the entertainment defend their gay lifestyles. So how does one look at USA? The fundamentals of the society still adhere to basic moral causes of right and wrong.

[mandj31507]

I guess to have a true argument both sides need to be understood, and I guess I'm not understanding your side. Could you make your point more conclusive? You don't seem to show one side or the other.

[JonathanTits]

LOL the lady interviewing him looks hella pissed. And I don't blame her. The slight amount of trust I had for Obama is now completely gone. And why is this guy insisting he's not homophobic? "We served them water and doughnuts" WTF yeah right! If anything he probably hogged all the doughnuts for himself! Fatty...

[ObamaLiezEveryday]

Obama's a cock sucking mother fucker!

[48acar19]

Ha hahahaha!

He is not mentioning the ancient Greek and ancient Rome cultures, where plenty of religions were pro-gay!

He is such a liar!

And the inter-racial marriage was considered untilo recently illegal! What about that?

[erkekler]

Obama's droning, condescension and meaningless platitudes in this clip is really horrible.

Barack, I hate to tell you this, but you're NOT a fierce advocate of anything.

You're trying to play "two ends against the middle" on all of the important issues and its not going to work.

[NYPL89]

Hey guess what whites damaged many minds, doesn't mean I hate all white people. I'm dating a white guy so who cares. My point is. . you gays who hate obama need to relax with the N word. I never did anything to you douchebaggers AND it's not my fault ask fucking BUSH. HE hated gays from the start. Now you want attack Obama for having a gay hater, hes not even friends with him so get a life. Obama has to pretend to like Bush, doesn't mean hes friends with him because he shook his hand.

[touhi0923]

gay people are stupid to have voted for barack obama in the first place based on only one issue - theirs. I got plenty of letters from gay organiazations telling me who to vote for - Obama - I said no because I had a lot of other issues at stake higher than being gay that obama just did not understand or create any change to. I voted for someone else. Now the gays are upset. Get over it. YOu voted the muslim hypocrite in - you screwed up our perfectly white presidential line - you live with it.

[voyeurdug]

Like Rick's gay moustache/beard... it's a cutey... woo!!! Turns me on!

... a purpose-driven Presidency, on the other hand, would be quite a good change. Yes we can.

[ChevyHighPerformance]

Why would Rick Warren contribute millions of dollars of his own money to fight AIDS, while working with the top leaders in the gay community? Why doesn't CNN and MSNBC interview some of Rick Warren's gay friends in the gay movement and see what they have to say him?

[threebluestars]

Starting a website in 2005 doesnt mean you are an HIV advocate.

My dogs left nut has done more 'for HIV' than Rick Warren.

[slicbro]

That arrogant assian bitch reporter in the end need to show a little bit of professionalism. If i was Rick Warren, i would have put her on the spot light.

[iceheart920]

So people shouldn't be angry that the man who helped make Prop 8 pass is being given a national platform? To those who are saying that people should STFU, you STFU. If Warren helped to take away your rights, you'd be pissed that he's being allowed to have a national platform too.

[gmcjetpilot]

Obama, doing exactly what he said he'd do. I laugh all the lefties & righties who didn't believe him. I DON'T agree w/ the Warren choice but makes sense. He needs to draw far right fanatics in with far left secular gays. I'm not pro gay marriage, but I don't want to hurt or discriminated against gays. Straight supporters of gays if honest are not comfortable w/ homosexuality. I'm sorry the sex act isn't natural. We're born this way, straight. Big problems call for unity. Gays need to get along.

[EncompassedRunner]

Guess they weren't content with Obama's pick for Secretary of Indoctrination...er...Educatio­n being the Chicago Public Schools head who recommended opening a high school just for gays, bis, and transsexuals. Apostate anti-Israel globalist Rick Warren is actually very much on their side, they just don't know it.

[Iamnopicasso]

GTFO with that shit, Richard.

Rick Warren isn't burning gays at the stake.

[mandj31507]

That's not the point. If I can direct you to the Declaration of Independence: "...all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Is what Rev. Rick Warren preaching not violating this? He says he has many gay friends, however gay individuals are not allowed in his congregation. There's blatant discrimination from a figure that others look up to shown from anyone is wrong.

[Antiworld23]

It is his church and he has freedom of association, he can allow or dismiss anyone into or from his congregation that he wishes. The government shouldn't be forcing private organizations to include anyone.

[Richardgwm]

If this is about bringing all sides together, where is the invitation to a KKK Grand Wizard?

[touhi0923]

Obama is out for himself only - he is neither black or white - he is just an evil darker clone of republicanism Bush bullshit. It's laughable no one realised that until now.
