You can't isolate them - they are part of a pattern of his behavior. That's why I made the Kristalnacht comment - you can't understand the context of one without knowing about the other.

And even before that, he stopped enforcing DOMA. He repealed DADT. I know this is hard for you, but that's a very different thing than donating millions of dollars to anti-gay causes. Obama never did that, Donny.

Originally Posted By TomSawyer What do you think the ACLU backing means, Donny? The ACLU defends free speech, regardless of how distasteful it is. They defend free speech like the NRA defends guns. Of course they'll be on Cathy's side to say what he wants, but that doesn't mean they endorse the content of what he is saying.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 "Just so it's clear Dan Cathy does not hate gay people but he does opposes gay marriage" I've dealt with those people all my life. They swear they don't hate you, even that they love you, but they sure don't consider you their equal. Spare me from that kind of "love."

Being the Public Relations VP ... and the over-pouring of criticism the co. is taking this week ... we can see why this happened.
