While I wholeheartedly agree that any calling to look people up, not to say actually look to damage their life in any way is pretty damned awful.
So are you suggesting that liberals/progressives now have a problem with Obama with his past views on gay marriage? If so, please provide some links.
"In 2001, James Barron, a staff reporter for the New York Times, identified what he called a "growing consensus that Hiss, indeed, had most likely been a Soviet agent".
I think this is wrong no matter how you slice it. It shouldn't happen for either side.
No.
I know many who take issue with Obama on this, and in fact I believe it was discussed in these very boards. He was a coward on this issue.
And as a progressive, I was one of them. It was cowardly, but, understandable, similar to Hillary's vote for the Iraqi war (which is now also completely forgiven by the left). Not ideally what I wanted, but you take the candidate's views overall, not just disqualifying them over one issue.
I guess i missed all of those posts you made in 2008 and 2012 saying "well he's a bigot, but I'm still going to campaign for him and vote for him."
If you want to look it up, I said that I disagreed with his stance on gay marriage, but still supported him.
Actually, IIRC, you will find a number of posts by various people straight up calling Obama out on this issue.
So you support bigots then?
so in one situation you can "disagree with his stance" and in another similar situation the guy should be labeled a bigot and run out of a job....
How much research into the Mozilla CEO's other positions was done before the masses started calling for his ouster? What if this was the only blot on his resume? And he spent all his free time saving baby dolphins and farming free-range cabbage?
Yes, sometimes I do support those who have a bigoted opinion on an issue. I won't dispute that Obama was bigoted on this issue in the past.
From what I have heard, he is a great guy, generous and thoughtful.
I disagreed with his stance and don't dispute that he should be labeled a bigot for that, but it was not a deal breaker with me voting for him.
or it could be someone that agrees with this "Marriage is based on the truth that men and women are complementary, the biological fact that reproduction depends on a man and a woman, and the reality that children need a mother and a father. Redefining marriage does not simply expand the existing understanding of marriage; it rejects these truths."
"Individuals from the 1 to 3 percent of the population that is sexually attracted to the same sex are committing up to one-third of the sex crimes against children."
Wait, is this thread about the Gay Mafia or the Catholic Church?"Individuals from the 1 to 3 percent of the population that is sexually attracted to the same sex are committing up to one-third of the sex crimes against children."

if a male is attracted to a male he isn't a homosexual ? LOL, guess the gay mafia came knocking at his doorFamily Research Council distorts researcher’s work a decade after he demanded a retraction"Individuals from the 1 to 3 percent of the population that is sexually attracted to the same sex are committing up to one-third of the sex crimes against children."

Dear Dr. Dailey:
On the web site www.frc.org you reference my work in your article on “Homosexuality and Child Sexual Abuse”. I am writing you to object to my name and research being associated in any way, shape, or form to lend legitimacy to the views proposed in your paper.
If you are, in fact, familiar with my research, you must realize that my studies have indicated that homosexual males pose less risk of sexual harm to children (both male and female)—from both an absolute and a percentage incidence rate—than heterosexual males. Your statement that “the evidence indicates that disproportionate numbers of gay men seek adolescent males or boys as sexual partners” appears to come from the assumption that if an adult male is attracted to a male child, this adult male’s sexual orientation is ipso facto homosexual.
Since your report, in my view, misrepresents the facts of what we know about this matter from scientific investigation, and does not indicate that my studies on this topic reach conclusions diametrically opposed to yours; I would appreciate your removing any reference to my work in your paper lest it appear to the reader that my research supports your views.
Yours truly,
A. Nicholas Groth, Ph.D.
