Johnny, I agree 100% that Obama's support of gay marriage isn't costing him any black votes. I was responding to Spence's claim (a common liberal claim) that gay marriage is analogous to civil rights for blacks. That's funny for 2 reasons. First, it was the Democrats who were opposed to Civil Rights for blacks. Second, blacks get deeply offended when liberal whites compare them, in this case, to homosexuals. If liberals cared as much about keeping blacks happy as they claim, they would stop making this comparison. Blacks really hate it.
