That's a riot. Blacks hate it, they really really hate it, when bleeding heart liberals make this comparison. Blacks don't like it when you say "we let you peopl eget married, so we should let them".

Regardless of if they like it or not, they're still not the majority effected. So, for the liberals, it's better to piss off the minority voting block and solidify support from the gay community. Let's face it, the minority vote isn't swinging to the GOP any time soon.

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.

You should really expand on this thought...I could use a good laugh.

Please do.

Sure. But it won't make you laugh.

I would have assumed you knew a tiny bit of factual history. Now we all know different. Another case of Spence ideology trumping facts.

Civil Rights Act of 1964 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Most Democrats from the Southern states opposed the bill and led an unsuccessful 83-day filibuster, including Senators Albert Gore, Sr. (D-TN), J. William Fulbright (D-AR), and Robert Byrd (D-WV), who personally filibustered for 14 hours straight."

Can you read Spence? The efforts to block the Civil Rights Act were led by Al Gore Sr, and Robert Byrd. Democrats. D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T-S. That same Robert Byrd who the d-e-m-o-c-r-a-t-s made president of the Senate, thus third in line for the presidency. Swell, isn't it?

In the heydey of Southern segregation, the vast majority of governors in those states were Democrats.

Fast forward a few years. Arkansas Gov Oral Faubus (a Democrat) was ordered by President Eisenhower (a Republican) to let black kids attend school. Gov Faubus ( a d-e-m-o-c-r-a-t) ordered the National Guard to stop the black kids from going to school. President Eisenhower sent troops from the 101st airborne to ensure those kids got to school. Read the story of the "Little Rock Nine".

George Wallace, governor of Alabama, ran for President. Big-time segregationist. And a d-e-m-o-c-r-a-t.

Lester Maddox. Governor of Georgia. Big-time segregationist who endorsed George Wallace when Wallace ran for President. Maddox was a d-e-m-o-c-r-a-t.

Spence, you have shown here that you literally have no ability to process facts unless those facts fit your ideology.

Until now, i have never heard anyone, ever, deny that Democrats were primarily responsible for southern segregation. You are blinded, completely, by ideology. If Obama said that 2 plus 2 was 7, you would not have the wherewithal to disagree.

Are you laughing Spence? Are you? I'm not.

Really. That's how you respond to irrefutable fact thats that show that you're completely ignorant aon a vital part of our recent history? You say mu numbers are B.S.? Do you have different numbers showing that Democrats supported the Civil Rights Act?

Whatever floats your boat, Spence. I guess you better laugh as much as you can between now and November. You won't be laughing much after that.

I'm not done with you yet.

Civil Rights Act of 1964 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From that link just above...when the Civil Rights Bill passed the Senate, the vote was 73-27. Of the 27 who were opposed, 21 were democrats, 6 were republicans.

The vote in the house was 289-126. Of the 126 reps who opposed, 91 were democrats, 31 were republicans.

Spence, based on what you said, I'm not sure if you can read or count. I'll make it simple. When I said that Democrats were primarily responsible for opposing the passage of the Civil Rights Act? I was 100% correct, you were 100% wrong.

Snack on that.

Here's a very important question Spence...do you still dispute my contention that the Democrats were primarily responsible for opposing Civil Rights legislation? Please respond directly...

You said you could use a good laugh. So, are you laughing? Or are you as embarassed as you should be?
