Warren-ism

Obama and crew have chosen Rick Warren to give the invocation at the inauguration. Great. All we needed was Obama endorsing yet another right winger.

Sarah Posner sums up some of Warren's history.

I think it's important to not focus too much just on Warren's support for Prop 8 or any of the individual statements he's made on gays or abortion and to look at the bigger picture. As HRC put it, "Rev. Warren has often played the role of general in the cultural war waged against LGBT Americans, many of whom also share a strong tradition of religion and faith."
