When Don Imus used racial slurs in his radio program Barack Obama called for him to be fired.


When Voting Section Chief John Tanner made remarks Obama considered "erroneous, offensive, and dangerous" Obama called for Tanner to be fired.


When Donnie McClurkin, during a fundraiser concert for the Obama campaign, said that homosexuality is something bad from which God can deliver people Obama said nothing.


The message? People who engage in racism must be silenced, but people who engage in homophobia can be given a microphone on behalf of presidential candidates. Nice double standard.


Don't ever tell us to "give it a rest". It is a big deal. It's our lives.
