Hillary Clinton Unendorsed By Leading Gay Paper
If this isn’t a slap down to Clinton I don’t know what is. I’m sure Clinton will create a new rule stating that endorsements can not be undone. On December 21, 2007, the Washington Blade formally endorsed Hillary Clinton. And today, in an editorial by Editor Kevin Naff, the newspaper formal unendorsed Hillary Clinton.
- Last night’s results in the North Carolina and Indiana primaries have left Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton out of options. She ran a tough and spirited campaign that will be talked about for a generation. But it’s over.
- The time has come for Clinton to adopt a gracious and conciliatory tone, end her campaign and endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president.
- Tuesday night was, indeed, a game changer. Clinton suffered a drubbing in North Carolina — a “big” state, in her terminology — and barely squeaked out a win in Indiana. She needed a convincing win there and a strong finish in the Tar Heel state to convince voters and, more importantly, donors that she still had a chance to win over the dwindling number of uncommitted superdelegates.
- Unfortunately, all the talk of experience and competence was belied by a campaign rife with incompetence. From Bill Clinton’s ruinous (and arguably racist) campaign swing through South Carolina, to an obvious failure to craft a strategy past Super Tuesday, her campaign staff made so many miscalculations that Hillary went from a coronation to a shocking defeat.
- Hillary Clinton’s gay supporters should take a day to mourn her defeat and then join Obama’s cause. She’s resilient and will bounce back, probably as Senate majority leader, a job much more in line with her skills than that of president.

Point by point...
Don't hurt yourself on this one but ... MOST MEN IN THE BIBLE WERE PEDOPHILES TOO. You forgive Christians the VERY THINGS you ignorantly slam Islam for.
-I don't forgive the "Christians" anything. I do know something about what is reported of the patriarch of the "Christian" faith and that would be Jesus himself. Now for all I know he may have been a really bad dude who took heads as a hobby but that isn't what is reported. Muhammad may have been a really nice guy but according to the Koran, HE WASN'T.
-By the way, are there any reports of Jesus being a pedophile? Just askin'.....
These people look at the Muhammad of the Koran as the "perfect" example of the right path..

Jesus by contrast admitted his flaws and NEVER told anybody to convert or kill others. That is a key difference in the faiths.
That is why when the followers of Islam KILL in the name of their faith, they feel they are following in the path of the prophet and are justified. When "Christians" kill in the name of their faith, they SHOULD feel ashamed as the accounts of Jesus' life NEVER condoned that kind of action on his behalf.
Islam is EVIL not because Muhammad was evil (he may have been a swell guy) but because the ACCOUNTS of his life portray him as a intolerant murderer and that intolerant murderer is the "perfect example" of Gods right path....
500 years from now let's say that there is a new faith called the "Bin Laden" sect. Let's say that in their religious text it never says anything about Osama being a terrorist and that his life is portrayed as one of truth, love and honesty and that he would never hurt anybody but asked people to follow him and live like him.
The people that were to truly follow that faith would probably be a pretty good bunch. It doesn't matter that the real Osama is a megalomaniac killer because that was never reported in any of the texts.
I say Islam is evil because, in Islam the picture of the "perfect" man is a man who was an intolerant murderer.
