Dan Choi's at it again, twittering and wittering his vitriolic hatred of the President. Dan's the posteboy of the gay rights' movement, but he's rapidly turning into a Cindy Sheehan figure. Unlike Sheehan, he's still being given a visible platform by the media, and he's being guided and manipulated by the likes of Jane Hamsher, who is still foisted on the unsuspecting public as a voice for Progressives. (Remember that other high-profile Progressive voice, Arianna Huffington? How well did that work out?)
To say Choi's unadulterated hatred of the President is palpable is an understatement. Never mind that the President has enacted more legislation in favour of gay people than any previous President. Never mind he enacted the Matthew Shepherd Act, that he's given partners of gay people beneficiary rights. Never mind that he's repealed DADT or that he invited Choi the signing of that repeal and commended him publically on his activism. Never mind that Choi was filmed swinging from a lampost and waving an American flag outside the White House the night Osama bin Laden was killed, or that he was filmed in the company of Rachel Maddow and Paul Reickhoff. Never mind that the President has instructed the DOJ not to defend DOMA in court, and never mind that the President has said he's in favour of civil unions, which - as I've said - is a euphemism for marriage.
