Barack Obama & Rick Warren

As part of the activist group PrideAndShame.com, I want to know how you'd feel if Michelle invited a KKK leader to the White House for inclusiveness? Inviting Rick Warren to your Inauguration is the moral equivalent. How could you do this to me?

Yuck. Leave his kids out of this. I'm outraged about Rick Warren, but this is just extremely distasteful.

Good morning, anonymous coward!

Distasteful is denying an entire population their civil rights. This is an issue that affects us personally, and Obama needs to know how personal this is. The use of Sasha's name effectively conveys that.
Is it outrageous? Yes. That is the nature of political activism.

If you don't like it, feel free to change the post when you put it on Obama's Open For Questions site. If you think we're too radical, go get your own damn blog. The point is DO SOMETHING, don't just make anonymous criticisms of other people trying to create change.
