The open-minded and tolerant fellow (who within two minutes of our meeting and called me a “liar” and worse because I was Republican) was Rick Rosendall.
Here’s his bio…
Richard J. Rosendall is a freelance author based in Washington, DC. He writes a regular column, “Holding the Center,” for the Boston gay newspaper Bay Windows. His work has appeared in Salon.com and FrontPageMagazine.com. He is a contributor to Independent Gay Forum and Liberty Education Forum.
Rosendall is a longtime member of the Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance of Washington, DC (GLAA), and was its president for three years ending in January 1999. In 1981 he co-founded the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC (GMCW), which he served as public relations director from 1985 to 1996. He was active with the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses in the 1980s and 1990s, and attended its first five choral festivals. He produced benefit performances by the gay male vocal quintet The Flirtations for the Sexual Minority Youth Assistance League in 1991. His interest in international activism led him to persuade both GLAA and GALA Choruses to join the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA), whose conferences he attended in 1993 and 1994. In 1996 he launched world wide web sites for GLAA and GMCW, and he continues to administer the GLAA site. He is a founding member of the NAACP-DC Metropolitan Police and Criminal Justice Review Task Force. He participated in “celebrity roast” fundraisers for DC’s Black Lesbian and Gay Pride Day in 1996 and 1997. He wrote and officiated at a gay wedding ceremony for friends in October 1994. He is a native Washingtonian.
You kinda have to sympathize with President Obama as these are the tolerant, inclusive types of people he has to deal with.
Pant. Wetter.
I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of The United States of America. But others Pledge To be kiss in the mouth or Bend over in hope to get something for nothing and that I don’t need to work or think or fight the powers that be. Just do what is Told to me and will be Happy. I can blame others for whats happening to this country. But lets look at ourselfs first. Is this what we want or are you living your dream. Hey the man is black but is He right. Can he Deliver, MLK is turning in his grave.
One of the most hateful displays of insolence that I’ve ever witnessed. Yes, I listened to the entire sad display. Give these types enough rope and they’ll end up hanging themselves with it. We should start a rope fund for this ass.
Not sure I even want to watch the video, based on the reaction.
Although that guy’s bio reminds me of one of the more annoying traits of gay folks I’ve known, an obsession with finding a way to take a “Gay” angle on every single aspect of their lives. If there’s a Gay way to cross the street, they’ll form an organization to promote it.
I am totally speechless! Hell, I can’t even TYPE! Bob, your are so more of a man than I would have been(even though I’m a woman,makes no difference) Has the world I was raised in changed so drastically that white is black and wrong is right or are these people just insane? Please, someone tell me that I am not the one going bonkers!!!
lastly….Nicholas I am with you 100%
I don’t know how you maintain your composure, Bob.
I’m sorry I but I wanted to fuckin’ SOCK that ignoramus QUEER..maybe it’s just my taurus temper, or my autism..but holy crap did that guy really piss me off. personally, I wish you would’ve calmly slammed him with an irrefutable fact that would’ve shut him up. the guy didn’t want to shut his yap. utterly jaw dropping at the supreme arrogance of him, the leftist callers, and how Mr. “make it plain” Make Thompson, ironic DemoKKKrat that he is, somehow calls the DNC “Church”..is THAT what they’re calling it these days? shit….
How did you handle yourself in-studio Bob? I mentally imagined you giving this guy a subtle glance or 2 that conveyed the question “are you KIDDING me?”.
I know the GOP isn’t perfect, but MAN is the left complete, absolute, utter entire GARBAGE! You will NEVER find a Republican or anybody on the right say “well I’m more socialist than anything else”, and I’ll be damned if I do. I was pissed when he said “..so what the hell do you have to say to THAT, Bob?”
Words ultimately fail to describe the anger, hatred, contempt, disdain, and complete undying disgust for the left I have
one word helps here though – facepalm
lastly..
LONG LIVE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DAMN IT!!
Are these people for real? Doing a good job? With what? Everything about America has drop in every direction? Did anyone really listen to his speech? More money goes overseas then to the American people? Where are the jobs? Every word that comes out of Obama’s mouth is a LIE!
But, of course!
