LaBarbera: Dems 'grovel before hard-core homosexual activists' in GLBT forum
OneNewsNow ^ | 8/10/07 | Jim Brown

Six of the Democratic White House hopefuls threw plenty of red meat to the 'gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender' (GLBT) community last night at the first-ever presidential forum on homosexual issues.

The candidates all expressed support for homosexual civil unions and their desire to get rid of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and the military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell” policy.

Barack Obama (D-Illinois) boasted he has the best "track record of working with the GLBT community," noting as a state senator, he was the chief sponsor of Illinois' version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Former Senator John Edwards said, "Americans owe gays and lesbians a debt of gratitude," and predicted their activism is "going to change the country." Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) declared she wants to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and section three of DOMA.

Conservative activist Peter LaBarbera is an expert on the homosexual agenda.

"To see these candidates groveling before hard-core homosexual activists is one of the sorriest spectacles the American political scene has ever witnessed," says LaBarbera.

He says the Democrats were pandering to a "sin-based” movement.

"Whether they would admit it or not, they all took giant strides towards moving our political system towards embracing and ratifying a sinful lifestyle as a civil right," he explains.

Clinton, Edwards and Obama all came short of endorsing same-sex marriage, which drew criticism from long shot candidate Mike Gravel. He said the three frontrunners "can't get their arms around the marriage issue."

LaBarbera claims that a lot of anti-Christian bigotry was being expressed in that debate.

"When you call people who are trying to protect the sacred definition of marriage as between a man and a woman, when you cast dispersions on their motives and say they're mean spirited and all that, it really amounts to anti-Christian bigotry or anti-religious bigotry because a lot of people who aren't Christians, who are of other faiths, still support marriage," says the conservative activist.

Last night, former Senator John Edwards renounced a statement he made recently at a CNN forum. Edwards says that it was a "mistake" for him to claim that his Baptist faith precluded him from supporting homosexuality.

No, it is a mistake for him to claim to be a Baptist!

All their pandering to the far-far left moonbats, GLBT, KOS-crowd etc is going to bite ‘em in beehind when the campaign starts in earnest. Someone may sign up Karl Rove as a campaign consultant just to make ‘em squirm.

These idiots parade on over to the homosexual forum, but they are too afraid to go on Fox? I think there are more voters listening to Fox than there are in the homosexual voting pool.

So, I would guess that President Hillary will be inviting young female interns into the Oval Office for late night entertainment, just like Bill.

Edwards, Hillary, et al say whatever the person standing in front of them wants to hear and keep retractions handing in case the next guy doesn’t like what they said.

Pandering chameleons.

One thing that did come out.......all the Democrats said they supported the gay life style but not gay marriage. I believe that by them saying they support the gay life style, they just buried themselves. The only smart ones were the ones that didn’t show up for the debate.

He's a trial lawyer! He's already going to hell.

An engineer dies and appears before St. Peter. St Peter asks his name and then checks his big book. St Peter then tells the engineer that his name is not on the list and he must go down to hell. The engineer remarks that he thought sure he would get into Heaven but follows St Peter's instructions and goes down the path to hell. A few weeks later St Peter realizes that he had made a mistake and that the engineer should have been received into Heaven. St Peter goes to God and tells of his mistake. God tells St Peter that he'll take care of it and phones down to the devil. Satan: What's up God?

God: St Peter made a mistake and sent an engineer to hell and I need to bring him back up to Heaven.

Satan: No way am I going to release him. He has built an ice machine and is working on an air-conditioner.

God: If you don't release him, I'll sue you.

Satan: Ha! Where are you going to find a lawyer?

Kucinich and Gravel both DO support gay marriage. The GLBT folks loved those two. Melissa Ethridge said she had to contain herself not to "fawn" over Kucinich.

"Americans owe gays and lesbians a debt of gratitude,"
From bringing more conservatives out to the polls to vote against gay marriage?

Who wants to bet that's the first male she's ever said that about?

They are deathly afraid to be seen in this "debate" for good reason. But it's stupid to think their stance for the Homoagenda is going to be overlooked - the story is out. Never mind that the only people who subscribe to Logo or even watch it comprise "the choir."

And people wonder at statements by conservatives like, why would I vote for someone to run my country, when their won personal lives are a train wreck? If they have poor judgment in their own lives, what kind of judgment are they going to use when running the country?

If they have bad judgment, it IS their judgment that should be called into question. Regardless of what the issue is. These Dems, and even some of the Rep. candidates are not living decisions that display good judgment, and this debate as well as the Kos one, just exemplify that.

A little late on this one but.....

I just caught Larry King on our channel 31. I was channel surfing to get to Glen Beck. There is a man who has had a transgender sex change. He is all dolled up as a "woman". The man has a family and says his son still calls him "Dad".

The selfish effrontery of this person and his views,sickened me. I quickly switched to Glen Beck. The homosexual is all about their own selfish,self serving agenda.

They will never be satisfied. They can only destroy others. I except those who quietly get on with their private lives. Those who keep it to themselves and their friends.

Wonder what the MSM would do if the republicans went to a Focus on the Family debate? Our a Bob Jones University debate.

Democrats grovel before homosexual activists, leading Republicans are wimpy in the face of Islamists. They cede the moral issues; we risk throwing our national security card. Its an unhappy season to be in before the primaries.
