Frankly, Senator Obama, I do not want evangelical bigots voting for my candidate.

So, no need to go after the evangelical right wing freakos.
Saying your Christian does NOT make you Christian.
I do NOT want to court the evangelical bigots.
I don't need to join forces with those ****tards for any reason.
A huge thread with lots of bickering follows...

frankly gross and quite septic in its tone.

7. Are you a evangelical right wing freako or a ****tard?
If not, then I guess it wasn't pointed at you.
Welcome to DU, I guess.

64. It's obvious the OP doesn't want Obama courting evangelicals. Period.
All evangelicals are bigots to some people around here.

4. We've been screaming for liberal Christians to stand up for years
Now Obama does that and you crucify him.

27. I REPEAT: SAYING you are Christian and BEHAVING like one are two different things.
Edited on Mon Jan-21-08 10:08 PM by LibraLiz1973
I'll be blunt.
NO, I do NOT want faux Christians here on DU, with their bullshit agendas that are BIGOTED and WRONG. It isn't CHRISTIAN to attack gays. You can color what I said any which way you like, but, what I was saying is that I DO NOT WANT TO PANDER TO THOSE FAKE CHRISTIAN ASSHOLES & TRY TO GET THEM TO VOTE WITH US.
I think their behavior is DISGUSTING and I stand by that no matter what anyone says. My belief system dictates that I stand for what I believe in. I believe in gay rights. PERIOD.

33. Truly Pathetic. I'm Christian & Proud of it.
Does that make me evil? So you don't want me apart of this party? I'm a Christian but I believe strongly in gay rights. Not all Christians in power are lead by Christ in terms of their actions to others.
That's the main problem, isn't it?

39. Re read the OP and the other things I have said in this thread.
I'm ALL FOR Christians, Jews, Muslims, Atheists, Scientologists & every other religion WHO ARE TOLERANT supporting our candidates.
I am NOT going to support trying to obtain the Evangelical Christian votes. They do not believe in gay rights and I am NOT OKAY WITH THAT.

41. I said "religiouis ASSHOLES"...
Edited on Mon Jan-21-08 10:18 PM by TankLV
If being accepting of GBLT - unequivocally and unconditionally - no "love the sinner" crap - and that is TRULY your beliefs and you ACT and SPEAK accordingly, then more power to you...
what we don't want is the ****ing ASSHOLES who condemn the GBLT community and the people who try to "woo" them.
If you're not one of these ASSHOLES, then of course I'm not speaking to YOU and welcome YOU - but if you protest what I've been saying and have said above, then we certainly KNOW what you are and where you can go..

50. I do reject religions and "religious" people who promote intolerance
toward my gay brothers and sisters.
And I am proud of that.

53. Frankly you're going to have to accept that they are Americans too.
Your choice is either to try to bring them into the Democratic party, or you can leave them in the Republican party and live under the constant threat of Republican control. That is your choice.
You cannot dismiss their existence
You cannot dismiss their right to vote
I can hear their groans from here.

66. No -- we can & SHOULD demonize them and make it so uncomfortable for these ASSHOLES that they will
Edited on Mon Jan-21-08 10:28 PM by TankLV
be as afraid to express their bigotry as we gay persons are to show our LOVE and AFFECTION for each other IN PUBLIC...
WE should not REST until this is the REALITY...
you people just don't ****ing GET IT!!!
