I’d say that this is spot on. USER in Chief silences gay protesters. Regardless of where you sit on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, you can certainly see the hypocrisy in all of this, right? Read on…Petrelis Files gets it right.
Then there is the same silence from the orgs regarding the arrest today of six gay military personnel, both veteran and current active, at the fence of the White House. Click here for some mainstream news coverage, and here for blogosphere coverage.
Here we have two glorious activist zaps, on both coasts, pushing the envelope to have our supposed fierce advocate and friend in the White House make good on his various promises to our community, made when he was campaigning for the Oval Office, and neitherGLAAD, HRC nor NGLTF can be bothered to issue statements on the action. Yet not a single word, as of 3:30 pm SF time as I write this, from GLAAD, HRC, or NGLTF on their respective web sites about zaps.
However, all three orgs today distributed statements mourning the death of African American pioneer and civil rights and women’s advocate Dorothy Height, who also supported the gay rights struggle for equality. Check out the releases from GLAAD, HRC, and NGLTF noting the passing of Height.

Lets do some math:
Obama has lost support from progressives, the youth vote, seniors, moderates (both republican and democrat), gays, and women.
It is no secret that the AA community still offers a healthy support, albeit a little less than during the election.
It is also no secret that the Dems are going after the Latino voters (who are mostly Catholic).
Both of these voting blocs are vehemently and unashamedly anti-gay.
Need I say more?

Anthony, you probably already know that the “gay folks’” contributions to the Dictatorcrat Party and to GLAAD, HRC, and NGLTF have dropped greatly because of HObama.
Did you know that “The Advocate Magazine” had gone under? It’s sales just dropped far to low for it to ever make money, so its new owners killed the 40 year plus historic publication. Of course their on-their-knees worship of the HObama didn’t’ help with sales at all!

Wow. Didn’t know that about the Advocate.
I’m beginning to regret cutting classes in gay school…….. Thanks for the info

What?
There were classes?
How did I miss that agenda????
lol

Oh my gawd, I didn’t know that Buttered. I am cheering. I’m waiting for organizations like NARAL, et. al. to also bite the dust. Jerks every last one of them.

Senneth, this is all one big joke, look at Air America and where they landed.

I think that the title Petrelis used is perfect…Silence of the Lame.
April 22, 2010 at 6:23 am
Yes, fits well, along with Obama – the Lame Duck since Day Won!
Oh yeah, and Lamestream Media!
April 22, 2010 at 6:28 am
Yes, the Lame Duck won. Now, we must make sure that we can limit the damage done to this economy by not letting our guard down Buttered. Enough is enough.

BHO acting out. Trying to hide the opposition. AGAIN. Very lame and pathetic. But then again, his actions are very reflective of who he really is and what he really stands for. Under the bus they all keep going.
April 22, 2010 at 6:24 am
Yeah, Jane – a down low hypocrite liar.
April 22, 2010 at 6:29 am
Tooooooo nice.
