Ellen Slams Palin on Gay Marriage

"People are going to be who they're going to be and we need to love
them for who they are, and let them love who they want to love."

Last month, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) told CBS that she wouldn't "judge
people" based on their sexual preferences. However, just a few weeks
later, she admitted that she nevertheless doesn't believe in marriage
equality and voiced support for the Federal Marriage Amendment. Today,
Ellen DeGeneres responded to Palin's comments:

I don't know if you saw this, but vice presidential candidate Gov.
Sarah Palin said she's in favor of a federal ban on gay marriage.
Basically, she wants to change the constitution. So if you're
wondering -- I'm sure you are -- how I feel about this, I don't like
it. I don't like it. I don't agree. ... And I don't know what people
are scared of. Maybe they think that their children will be
influenced, and I got to say -- I was raised by two heterosexuals and
they did not influence me.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has come out against a federal ban on gay
marriage. However, Palin yesterday reassured James Dobson that McCain
has privately said that he will support far-right positions if he is
elected president.

McCain and Obama both said during the debates they were against it.

You already know Obama lies though, so Ellen will side with him.

As far as I remeber, in the debates both Obama and McCain
were corralled at one point to take a stand against changing
the legal definition of marriage. Where is the indignation over
Obama's stated position, since he is the presumed champion
of the gay marriage movement? In the word of the famous liti-
gator, Johnnie Cochran: "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit".
I guess ;-))
