Another excellent "Special Comment".. this on the passing of Prop 8 as delivered by Keith last night.
he should have brought this up before the vote, it was black people who came out in droves to vote for obama and vote for prop 8
he might have compelled them to vote otherwise, and why isnt he on obama because obama said he is AGAINST homosexual marriage
Obama opposed prop 8, saying..
“As the Democratic nominee for President, I am proud to join with and support the LGBT community in an effort to set our nation on a course that recognizes LGBT Americans with full equality under the law…And that is why I oppose the divisive and discriminatory efforts to amend the California Constitution, and similar efforts to amend the U.S. Constitution or those of other states.”

I'm really tired of this being compared to race and the hardships minorities have endured.
I have heard a number of people say that before. Many of them african american. I wonder if that might not be why they voted for it in record high numbers
What's with the "record high numbers?" Sure, Hispanics and African Americans supported prop 8 in higher percentages that whites, but what "record' are you talking about?

This link doesn't say record however, what it does say is ....."The shocker was that a whopping 70 percent of African American voters and 53 percent of Latinos threw their support to the ban."

I could only stand listening to half of Olbermann's rant, but here's some response.
- He says they took away homosexuals "right" to marry - there has never been such a right.
- He says "What is it to you?". Firstly, people realize that it's an attempt by gays to usurp a 10,000 year old heterosexual institution for the purpose of "mainstreaming" themselves, or forcing people to look at them as "normal".
But an even better indication of "what is it to you" was when a protestant church in san diego had its tax exmption removed when it refused to marry a lesbian couple.
- The king of smear talks emotionally about love - who is trying to keep homosexuals apart who are in love? Nobody - bogus straw man.
- He brings in the bogus argument about race. But blacks' rights were guaranteed after the civil war by the
14th and other amendments - there never was such an amendment for homosexuals.
The majority of california voters, mostly liberals, got this one right.
There is no "right" for straight people as well, lets get rid of it.

Be assured though that it's only a matter of time until Gays achieve the ability to marry...exit polls showed that young voters of all stripes opposed the measure, in fact if those above 65 hadn't voted prop 8 would have gone down.
