There's was ostensibly not a racist message but a homophobic one: "defense of marriage" in their language. The racial issue surfaced, however, when one guy started ranting about how it's wrong to vote for someone only because of his race. I was going to say something but my wife was smarter. We walked onto grounds of the Waahington Monument and joined 2 million people who felt differently than these preachers of hatred.<BR/><BR/>How to listen to them? Obama tried with his inclusion of Rick Warren. (He also included Eugene Robinson at the Sunday concert.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
