As in, other than his slogans, what do we even know about this guy? Well, we know Barack Obama hired an outspoken "ex-gay" bigot to headline his presidential campaign's "Gospel Tour". Here's Donnie McClurkin, tells his cheering audience he has "suffered from being gay" but that "god has delivered [him] from homosexuality". Let's take a look (start at 1:16):
Donnie McC and his band members believe that god can 'forgive prostitutes, people full of pride (gays) and murderers'. Well aren't we lucky that Barack Obama sees fit to give this bigot a platform from which to speak.
Gay people protested the events, and asked Barack to remove this band from the tour. He would not. He would not meet with them. He would not and has not apologized. He has only said that he does not agree.
And ladies, do we really want to go here? His pro-choice stance.
"The reason that I make a decision to support the choice position is not because I don't think it's a moral issue but because I trust women to make a prayerful decision about this issue." "As a Christian, to remain open to the possibility that I cannot claim infallibility in my support of abortion rights."
OH REALLY? YOU TRUST ME? Well aren't i fucking lucky. And it's good to know you might change your views. Sort of like Mitt Romney who changed his views from Pro-Choice who now would like a federal ban on abortion. (This should be interesting since Obama has stated repeatedly he would like to join republicans in compromising for unity).
in contrast when asked about her stance on abortion Hillary noted that she is unequivocally supports and woman's right to choose and cited that choice is deeply rooted in privacy rights (which of course, is HOW we get the right, roe v. wade) and mentioned forced abortions in china and women followed around in the Soviet by government making sure women had their children once doctors noted women had conceived.
