Rick Warren

U.S. President-Elect Barack Obama has chosen evangelical pastor, Rick Warren, to do the official prayers at Obama’s inauguration in January. Many people are pissed off over this, and rightly so. He’s been known to say many misogynist things, many bigoted things, and many homophobic things, which has gotten many LGB groups pissed off. Obama doesn’t care that people are pissed off. Rick Warren made a speech about his role at the inauguration, in which he said “I love Democrats and Republicans. And, for the media’s purposes, I love gays and straights.”

For the media’s purposes? Are you fucking kidding me? A simpleton could figure out that if you have to actually say, “for the media’s purproses”, everything after that is not actually sincere. At all. If you acknowledge that what you’re saying is only being said to please the media, you are also saying that it is not actually heart-felt and true.
