Obama Continues to Pander to Christian Hate Organizations

This blog and many others - as well as numerous media outlets - have focused in the past on the insidious Christianist organization known as "The Family," elements of which have had heavy involvement in spreading anti-gay hatred in Africa. Nonetheless, Barack Obama attended the annual gathering of these Christo-fascists at the so-called "National Prayer Breakfast" which by its very design gives special prominence to the virulent form of Christianity backed by "The Family." Personally, I find Obama obsequiousness to such a foul organization disgusting but sadly it is par for the course with Obama who just doesn't seem to grasp that no matter what he does, this element will always hate him and do all in its power to destroy him. Along with destroying freedom of religion for other Americans. What's next for Obama - attending a KKK rally? It's no secret that I see religion as predominantly an evil influence the moment it cease to be a private, personal matter and "The Family" takes this form of evil to a very high level. Here are highlights from CNN on the displeasure of many in the LGBT community over Obama's decision to kiss the ring if you will of this evil organization:

As President Barack Obama spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday, demonstrators outside reignited a simmering debate over the role the breakfast's organizers in an attempt to pass anti-gay legislation in Uganda. Gay rights activists urged President Obama not to attend this year’s National Prayer Breakfast accusing the Fellowship Foundation - which hosts the annual event - of promoting anti-gay legislation in Uganda.

“We would love for the President to come out and join us at the “Breakfast without Bigotry,” said Michael Dixon, an organizer with GetEqualDC who organized Thursday's prayer breakfast demonstrations.

Demonstrators in Washington said that the Fellowship Foundation, the Christian organizers behind the National Prayer Breakfast, have supported that legislation. David Bahati, the Ugandan parliamentary member who introduced the anti-gay bill, is associated with the Christian group.

The Fellowship Foundation is also known as the Family, after a book by that name that was published about the group several years ago. “The values the Family is actually espousing could not be further from what Jesus would actually support,” Dixon told CNN. “We feel that persecuting people because of the way that they were born, trying to have them imprisoned for life, trying to execute them, is not Christian and it’s not a family value in any sense of the word.”

Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, the Episcopal church's first openly gay bishop, is critical of the Fellowshiop. “What I and others are calling for is for The Family organization to do far more than it’s done recently. There’s been a… mediocre and fairly listless attempt to distance itself from this law,” he said. "If you start a wildfire and it gets out of control and burns a bunch of homes, you know, it does no good to say, ‘Oh gosh, I never really meant to have it end up this way.”
