Yes. That's right. Think about this:
Barack Obama is being attacked for statements regarding gun toting Christ mongers. Why? Because despite the questionable values of rednecks and their (in some instances) all too ready to pull the trigger mentality - these rednecks are Americans after all. So when you think about running for president, god strike you down with a fiery cross if you dare speak your mind.
Now lets look at homosexuals - Gay Americans have not only been psychologically bashed (and in many cases physically bashed) by the Christian right and other homophobes, But they have also been denied equal rights as straight Americans. Our political leaders have not only had harsh words against gay Americans, but they have set legal limits to an institution that all Americans and everyone else in the world should have a right to - MARRIAGE! Our president, George W. Bush attempted to amend the constitution limiting the rights to straight couples only. Banning same sex couples from the legal union of love (and entitlement). But do "real" Americans care?
Ask yourself why a man is being attacked for speaking his mind, but a man who persecutes millions of Americans got elected twice. Sorry make that once.
I'll throw in my 2 cents. America needs a good taking to. Don't be so delicate.

I saw a political discussion on PBS the other day and I was appalled by how uncivil it was. I don't know what the topic was because they were yelling too much. I expected better from 'public' television.
