Okay I think I have heard ALL I need to hear about the "Ground Zero Mosque" from those who are always so ready to criticize President Obama and yet claim to be his base.
If you are as disgusted as you should be about the bigotry that is spewing from all corners of this nation with the latest being the so called "outrage over the Ground Zero Mosque" my challenge to you is simple: what activism have you done AGAINST the bigots who are perpetuating this hate?
WHY ARE YOU DIRECTING YOUR OUTRAGE AT PRESIDENT OBAMA RATHER THAN TOWARDS THE BIGOTS WHO STARTED THIS NONSENSE???????
The easiest thing to do is to attack President Obama for what some wrongly consider a retreat from is friday speech.
Of course I happen to believe that what President Obama said on friday is no different from what he said on saturday and it just the media trying to make a buck by causing fake controversy.
It amazes me to see that even intelligent people cannot seem to get the difference between a President speaking detailed and vetted formal remarks from a planned White House event to a POTUS answering a random question thrown at him as he is walking away from a press confeence. Do you honestly expect his sentences to be verbatim from the two locations?
But what has puzzled me most is what some progressives have decided to do in response to this fake controversy and that is to attack President Obama
WHY ARE YOU DIRECTING YOUR OUTRAGE AT PRESIDENT OBAMA RATHER THAN TOWARDS THE BIGOTS WHO STARTED THIS NONSENSE???????
What will you gain from attacking President Obama?
What will you gain from attacking the GOP bigots who are intent on sewing divisions in this country using its most precious gift os diversity?
I would humbly suggest that if you really care about diversity and if you despise hate-mongering and bigotry then YES do something but please challenge the haters rather than those who appear easier to attack.
