I just heard an amazing interview on The Randi Rhodes Show with Mitchell Gold (http://www.faithinamerica.info/) that shook me hard. I was against the Warren presence, but Gold convinced me just how dangerous and damaging it is to gay people across the country - how it sends a HORRIBLE message. Thom Hartmann was suggesting on his radio show that it shows just how inclusive we are. I disagree. Warren is the WRONG guy to have at that important and historical moment. Barack is a good man, but he should be more careful about how he reaches across the aisle. Our tent isn't big enough for people who harm whole communities. Catch your plane - thanks for your thoughts.

But giving top billing to Warren because of his large audience is the moral equivalent, in reverse, of the Late Dr. Martin Luther King addressing a Klan convention.<BR/><BR/>It's one thing to have honest political and even social disagreements. But Warren is a bigot pure and simple.<BR/><BR/>Why are we giving him a national platform on such an important day in the history of our country?<BR/><BR/>Again I'm ranting and I'm running. So hopefully by the time I'm back to North Carolina cooler minds will have prevailed. <BR/><BR/>JonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
