Comments on: Hypocritical Bushies whine about arrangements for Obama’s town hall meeting http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2009/07/02/hypocritical-bushies-whine-about-arrangements-for-obamas-town-hall-meeting/ Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."

I have read the same research. Mike's statements cause me to wonder the same thing. If Mike's statements are aimed at aspects of himself he is doing himself damage by remaining in the closet. He needs to stop being at war with himself and come out of the closet. Billy,

It's ok when he does it that way. I'm sure he has research to prove it. Hey Mike, That’s Pats stealth way of calling you a homo. It’s ok when he does it that way.

Is this you, Mike ? There’s nothing wrong with having such feelings. Only the cretins are going to laugh at you if you come out. The rest of us won’t. Be yourself, Mike. It’s all right.

"One who is following his faith and stuck in a country that keeps passing laws promoting murder and immorality." I guess we have read a different bible. I Jn 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? What kind of christian would be charged with a hate crime?

You needed the press to tell you the guy sleeping with a boy is gay? I don't. Somethings are a obvious. "Tell me Joe, is it a hate crime when some sicko judge denegrates a beauty contestant over her opinions that he asked her." I'm assuming we are talking about perez hilton here? I wouldn't call it a hate crime, but it was wrong not to respect her opinion. He then took it to far on his blog. If you want to hate on Perez I would look at how he can get away with calling someone a faggot. "Is it a hate crime when a gang of queers start roughing up an old woman when she is demonstrating peacefully against fag marriage?" I would say yes. "What is a hate crime Joe??? A crime is a crime isn’t it? I’ll tell you what one is….it’s something that will impose a harsher sentence on a white male or a Christian. That’s all a hate crime is." You really think the white guys has it that bad? It really upsets you that you can't punch someone and call then a fag at the same time? Come on. I'm also blown away that you think laws against hate crimes are laws aimed at christians.

But, I expect no better from a confirmed Obamaniac.

What does the story you linked to have to do with gay marriage or hate crimes? Did allowing this guy to marry another man turn him into a child molester? Would the kid of not been molested if we didn't have laws against hate crimes? I would love to know how you feel these issues are related to this kid being molested. “Ahhh but it does have to do with politics because homosexuality is getting crammed down everyones throat with gay marriage laws and hate crimes bills.”
