I'm guessing this is what Poppagator is referring to (which is no surprise to any of us who actually bothered to find out about Obama before jumping on the love fest bandwagon). This is from the NYT:


    "The whole controversy might have been forgotten in the swell of gospel sound except Mr. McClurkin turned the final half hour of the three-hour concert into a revival meeting about the lightning rod he has become for the Obama campaign.

    He approached the subject gingerly at first. Then, just when the concert had seemed to reach its pitch and about to end, Mr. McClurkin returned to it with a full-blown plea: "Don't call me a bigot or anti-gay when I have suffered the same feelings," he cried.

    "God delivered me from homosexuality," he added. He then told the audience to believe the Bible over the blogs: "God is the only way." The crowd sang and clapped along in full support....

    Mr. McClurkin's support for Mr. Obama could signal to some black evangelical voters that race and religion are more important than Mr. Obama's support for gay rights."

I can't wait to see how the hateful Mudcat Obamamaniacs spin Obama's obviously anti-gay, right wing preacher...

Seems Obama is having a bit of a problem with the Jewish community these days too. Tsk, tsk.
