      <![CDATA[What's always so stupid about these guys is that Leviticus et al. are in the Jewish bible (Torah) and if you'd ask any Jew on the street what they think about homosexuals being stoned to death, etc., they'd tell you something like this:  "Jesus [so to speak}, why do you people go on about that crap?  We don't follow it; our rabbis finessed that away because it was a stupid rule written down 2,500 years ago in a different world.  The only reason it's still in the Torah is because we don't take anything out.  But we're not stupid enough to think we have to follow everything that's there.  Apparently you people are."  <br />

<br />
Can I get an AMEN!!  Freedom of speech for everyone! "I hate you and I hope you die" is legal to say, but it can be darn rude and does not merit a come-to-the-White-House.

      <![CDATA[Ya know...if you want to avoid courting controversy in your choice of who gives the benediction at your inauguration, you could always just not have a benediction at your inauguration. <br />
<br />
(I do realize that choice would itself send some folks off the handle. But is it really so radical to propose that a secular ceremony be...you know...<i>secular</i>?) <br />

      <![CDATA[Actually the far more disturbing bit is that no one on team Obama has learned a goddamn thing in four years. After the Warren dust-up last time, shouldn't the third or fourth thing on the inauguration planning list have been, "Don't do something that fucking stupid again"? Or perhaps "Fully vet the invitees before 1) inviting them and 2) announcing them"?

      <![CDATA[Just watched the video.  Why credibility of that magnitude is given to hateful, religious zealotry is beyond me.  The news anchor even called out Sprigg for his hateful rhetoric but was given almost equal billing.<br />
<br />
Where's the debate on White Supremacy?  Where's the debate on anti-semitism?  Like Wayne said - if this was about ANY OTHER minority group, this interview would never have taken place.
