"We don't believe in the kind of smallness that says it's okay for a stage full of political leaders -- one of whom could end up being the president of the United States -- being silent when an American soldier is booed. We don't believe in that," said Obama to loud cheers and a standing ovation

LOL! Brilliant! DEMwits! Your parents must be so proud! You finally made a funny! Maybe the doctors were wrong!

Because we all know the Republicans are all about bringing us together as a country. Thats the one thing we can all be sure about. Republicans will always bring together opressed minorities, the underpriveledged, the poor, the workers at big companies, the elderly, the religious minorities, gays ....

Oops, wait, I meant that Republicans will bring "us" together AGAINST those people ...Silly me!

My Bad!

The GOP despises gays, almost as much as they despise Blacks, Hispanics, immigrants from 3rd world countries, and Muslims.

You add so much to this conversation! Enough with the snark. Make some sense unless that is too much to ask.

Yes...the blacks and Hispanic communities welcome the gay community with open arms. Blacks and Hispanics help pass prop 8 in California at a higher percentage than whites.

I saw it, and frankly I thought this:
1. Political pandering
2. Isn't it sad, that while championing civil rights for our gay citizens,
he STILL thinks it's okay for our citizens to be engaged in wars of
choice.

So, I have to ask - whose rights is he trying to protect.....
