If You're Pissed Off Call Obama at (866) 675-2008
Campaign headquarters. Let a Democratic candidate know how you feel about a Democrat exploiting human fear and bigotry in an attempt to win votes.

3. The guy I spoke with said they were "overwhelmed" with calls on this
so, let's be constructive and express our viewpoint directly to the people responsible for this outrage.

5. They tried to read some "statement" to me from the Senator
I politely listened as he said McClurkin was only there for his music, and I informed him back that we BEGGED Obama not to put this man onstage and were not listened to, and that the final half hour of the concert was a gaybashing extravaganza.

6. Exactly
And if McClurkin was "only there for his music," why was he the MC of the entire thing, why were there other bigots onstage with him and why did the Obama camp nix a couple of wonderful BLACK religious leaders who are very pro human rights?

Their frantic explanations don't even begin to hold water.

12. Now, THAT'S a new idea!
I swear, I've never heard anyone say "Get over it!" before! What a concept!

Polar bears drowning on shrinking ice floes? Get over it!

U.S. service personnel subjected to four, five tours of duty before they come home A) in a box, B) with no limbs, C) with PTSD, D) all of the above? Get over it!

So many hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis, we can't even count them all? Get over it!

Female genital mutilation in Africa? Get over it!

Public school system gutted by cutbacks? Get over it!

Nooses in trees and on the office doorknobs of African-American faculty? Get over it!

Aw, fuck my piddly civil rights after all! I'm going to take your advice and just get over it!

I feel much better now! :hi:
