The left opposed shit even when Obama did it. I rarely heard peeps from the left criticizing Obama for not legalizing same sex marriage right away. They certainly didn't call him a bigot for defending traditional marriage. Let's not pretend the left, as you want to call it, doesn't have a history of hypocrisy. uuummm, Obama has come out and said that he PERSONALLY believes in "Traditional Marriage", but knows same sex marriage being legal is best for the people of the nation, so he put his personal beliefs aside and supported same sex marriage. he knows he's free to still hold his own beliefs in private but won't force those beliefs on the entire nation...that's what a good leader does.... No at the time, he used his belief in traditional marriage to explain why he wouldn't support same sex marriage.. "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage." 2008 MTV interview. His views then subsequently "evolved" on the issue. Hillary Clinton believed the same thing, and publicly opposed same sex marriage (she still does privately to this day). I have never heard either of them called bigots. But if a white male Republican says he believes marriage is between a man and woman, you can be certain that he will be called a bigot. But this is only one example of the hypocrisy of the left. One doesn't need to search too hard to find all manner of leftists providing rhetorical cover for the Soviet Union in its heyday, while at the same time decrying American "imperialism". The left typically tries to bury that history. --- BasileosPetros, KhanofKhans, CokeZero, and many more <cite>Saloonist posted [p:876705800] in Well at le...
