: TalkLeftTalk To Warren, Just Don't Tap Him To Give Inaugural Invocation
By Big Tent Democrat
Dkos diarist John Campanelli points to this blog post on Rick Warren by Melissa Etheridge's partner.
It seems to me both posts miss the point. I doubt too many object to talking with Rick Warren (it is worth noting however that Ms. Etheridge's partner seems woefully ignorant about Mr. Warren's views on gays and lesbians.) I believe the objection is to President-Elect Obama's tapping Mr. Warren to deliver the inaugural invocation.
In any event, that is my objection. Ms. Etheridge, President-Elect Obama and anyone who feels it would be productive should talk to anyone they choose -- but honoring Warren by tapping him for the inaugural invocation sends a terrible signal in my estimation.
Speaking for me only
