There is no acceptable bigotry. Unfortunately there is still an amazing amount of stupidity and ego.

Barak is a smart man. He must have known what the reaction would be with this pick. Therefore I can only assume that:

1. His ego says I am too popular to be effected by this
2. They will get over it
3. My supporters are loyal so I can ignore them and reach out to my opponents
4. I am the 21st century Lincoln and keeping that image alive is what is important
5. the gay and lesbian community are wimps and will not react
6. we are in for 8 years of impulsive decisions
7. talk the talk but walk on the political side

Very disappointing. Very typical of the politician I thought we voted out of office.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Bipartisanship is good. Picking a bigot is not bipartisanship, its just depressing.

BHO needs to learn that his actions, comments, clothes, and even what he eats for breakfast are watched by the whole world. Picking a religious bigot to speak at his inauguration is a foolish, narrow view action.

BHO represents the US and thus me. I thought McCain was stupid for picking Palin but this action is both unnecessary and shortsighted. It makes the US look like we have a President that talks, but does not follow through on action.

Come on BHO start being a President and stop being a politician whose view is campaign actions. You could lead the World if you thought better before making such silly depressing and egotistical decisions.

I can no longer support Mr. Obama. To invite that hateful bigot Rick Warren to participate in the Inauguration is over the line for me. My civil rights are not something to trade away to bigots for their political support. Mr. Obama has clearly demonstrated he lacks the moral fiber to represent me. He represents the bigots. I no longer support the Obama presidency.

We're done listening, Mr. Obama. Actions speak louder than words. I don't care what comes out of your mouth anymore, I care what comes out of your pen, i.e., you better start getting some gay-friendly legislation through Congress. I don't want to hear another word until you do, and you won't get another ounce of support from me until you do either.

Why is every going nuts about this. It isn't like he is going to start preaching and he's clearly a better choice, then say Jessie Jackson, right?

If President Obama feels the need to include anti-gay bigotry in his inaugural, if he must include a representative of those who oppose equal rights for gay people, where is the white supremacist in his inaugural program? The anti-semite? The anti-papist? Surely, he must include them as well.

Or is bigotry against homosexuals the only remaining acceptable bigotry in America today?
