Keith Olbermann on Presidential Benefits Memorandum

[newjrslm]

To StephanieKansas -- THANK YOU. I was just about say the same thing. I don't understand why people are so ignorant. Haven't we learned enough about Civil Rights, Stonewall, Harvey Milk, Rosa Parks? - hell we finally have a black president. If you prefer Pepsi over Coke don't buy Coke...so stupid!

We <3 Mr.Keith !!!

Not special, but Equal Rights.

Peace everybody.-

ChristianHillbilly: You obviously are not gay. There is no substitute for experience, unless you have dealt with something first-hand, please keep your personal views out of public posts - especially when they are negative. If by chance you don't agree with the gay culture - that's fine. Don't learn about or hang around with gay people (or marry one if you're against gay marriage). However don't spend your energy trying to fight for our civil rights, we wouldn't do that to you. God bless!

[ChristianHillbilly]

Sad... why would we give special benefits based on a life style choice? Just plain sad...

I am so, so sick of these people using us to get into office only to be stabbed in the back once they are in office. THIS IS JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

[brucecny]

Smoke, smoke and more smoke....get real and if anyone thinks these little morsels will appease us, they are sadly mistaken! Remember Stonewall !!!

[WerewolfOfTheWater]

I think this is at least a step in the right direction for America. I would like to see Congress get their thumbs out of their rears and pass the bill. But at least we are seeing some real change.

I wish Obama could just sign an executive order to grant civil marriage to gays in every state. DONE. I like to think that deep down he'd like to.

[enigmatically]

I like how Joe can write letters to the prez and they actually get read, and that he can also go chat with Obama directly.

[integral]

Indeed.  Access like that is amazing.

Very good analysis of the limitations of this memo.
