Kathy Griffin Tells Off Liberals Who May Not Vote for Obama
The D.C. gay magazine Metro Weekly interviewed Bravo star Kathy Griffin and asked her how big it was that President Obama endorsed the "gay marriage" concept. "There's never been a sitting president who has even seen the LGBT community like this. Never. It's huge. It's f---ing huge."
"So I get mad at my young gays that don't know what Stonewall is. I get mad at my young girls that don't know who Gloria Steinem is," Griffin said. "And I get mad at my own Democrats or centrists or liberal-leaning people that are acting like, ''I don't know if I'm gonna vote for the president. What's the point?'' Really? Well, get ready for President Romney and Vice President Bachmann." She wants the left to be pragmatic:
First of all, let me just say this about the president: I love him. I'll make fun of him – which, by the way, if you even made a joke about "W," people would think you were un-American – but I don't think people understand the significance of this president. And you know what? This is what I have to say to the LGBT community: It's a big f---in' country out there and it ain't all Haight-Ashbury and it ain't all Chelsea and it's not all Weho, and these things take time.
I get angry at my fellow Democrats and I get angry at my gays when they're actually mad at this president because he's not going fast enough for them. And I just want to say, after spending some time in Washington, working to help repeal ''Don't Ask, Don't Tell,'' having done my little mini-tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, it's not all the culture of chicks who live in Hollywood like me. It's not all the culture of LGBT. It's not all the culture of rich people or poor people. This stuff takes time.
And I had to learn that because even as early as five years ago, I was bitching and moaning that this stuff's gotta go faster and I'm not gonna stand for it. Yes, it has to go faster – and it is – but for God's sake, do not turn your back on this president because he's not going fast enough for you, so that you can enjoy President Romney, who's not going to do anything for you. [All italics in the original article.]
Griffin also granted a recent interview to gay Miami Herald blogger Steve Rothaus, where she went on a comic rant against heterosexuals: “I don’t know if you know my stand on heterosexual marriage, but I am completely against the legalization of heterosexual marriage. I think that heterosexual people who are currently married should go to prison. And I think that every single gay person who wants to get married should. And the government should pay for the wedding.”

The only thing Obama sees is the $$$....
Submitted by James3 on Thu, 06/07/2012 - 11:26pm.
Are Libs so stupid that they think Obama suddenly had a ''change of heart'' 6 months before the election out of the goodness of his heart or because it's ''the right, I mean, left thing to do''....give me a break, please. He is pandering to that 2% for all that $$$ he needs for his campaign, plain and simple. I really think it is a short sighted move though, because he is slighting 53% or more of the population to pander to 2%. I don't care how much money that crowd has, what about principles? This President is doing and saying things I never thought I would see or hear in my lifetime, and the MSM is pushing all of it so hard, I think we're about to see a pushback on Nov. 6th.

It's sad that so many liberal women, who are pretty and vaguely talented, feel the only way they can stay in the spotlight is to either do porn, or become total D-bags on liberal media.

You know that if (when) science found a cure (we have a consensus, it's genetic!) for homosexuality this woman would refuse to take it.
For her, homosexuality is a choice, a choice to be shoved in our faces daily.

Actually, conservative who make fun of Obama are lambasted as racists. Liberal comedians are permitted some leeway, but if any of jokes seem mean, they're racist.

I LOVE it! Liberals are LEAVING the Democrat party in DROVES...or are simply NOT going to vote...and she thinks HER browbeating is going to change their minds???
Sorry dear, but you see, a LOT of those liberals are still pretty RELIGIOUS and DO NOT agree with homosexual marriage. Therefore, they will NOT be changing their minds anytime soon.
So ENJOY that boost you got from Obama...because it's going to COST you in the next election!

Off The Wall - Out Of Bounds - But What's New?
Submitted by rammingspeed on Fri, 06/08/2012 - 12:01pm.
Griffin speaks only of social issues, not the truly important ones of keeping the country economically afloat. And of the proper - only - way of doing that, which is, of course, allowing the free market to flourish. THAT'S where Obama has lost this country. He is a collectivist/redistributionist who wants to outlaw getting "rich." His effectively blocking the country from getting back to business, because he wants to install a big government that manages all things, is why our debt increased more in his first 31/2 years than in America's entire previous history. And on and on.
The social issues take care of themselves, in their own time. The government can only protect people from being victims of unlawful abuse - which is basically covered by current statutes. The left is out of line with their insistence that a president, or the government at large, get too far involved with issues with which the government has no legitimate concern.
