Guys,
I'm sorry but you really need to come to terms that there is a community that is REALLY pissed at Obama right now. This has nothing to do with big name bloggers wanting to put that final nail in Obama's coffin. This isn't some stupid fight between Obama and Avarosis that Obama just won during the debate, this is about pain caused by bigotry.
YES the same kind of bigotry that African Americans feel of being treated like second class citizens.
What would you do if you were in a gay person's shoes knowing that you were born that way? What would you do if most of America thought you were an aberation? I don't know about you but I'd be lashing out like the rest asking for justice. I'd shout down anybody who said I was overreacting to being treated as a mistake and a lesser human. This doesn't excuse that racist diary from hell but I do understand that diarist's pain. He lashed out in an escalation of offense and look what is happening. People on both sides are leaving in disgust. Do you think this is what Obama wanted with his letter asking us to come together?
Sure Obama might not have any fallout from this fiasco outside of the blogosphere but it doesn't negate the real hurt that the gay community on DailyKos (and outside DailyKos) feels right now. Let them rage, they have a right to.
If you don't do this for me, please do this for the GOOD of Obama. If I wanted a candidate who was ONLY in this to win without any regard to his base, you know who I'd be supporting (and it isn't Obama).
PEACE and I am asking for forgiveness for some of the hurtful things I've said that last two weeks.
