"I think if President Obama came out as gay, he wouldn't lose the black vote . . ."

So sayeth Van Jones.

That is a strange sort of thing to remark, isn't it?  Maybe Van knows more than we do.

Let me up the ante, Mr. Jones - what if he was gay and was an Adult Baby?  In role play with Eric Holder?  I mean, if Obama was a closet furry, well, come on, that would be okay, I am sure.  But other kinks?  I'm just saying . . .

(I watch too many CSI episodes that feed my warped sense of humor . . .)

Actually, isn't a statement like that somewhat racist, if not homophobic, to imply that the Black community votes as a dumb herd regardless of the peccadilloes of the candidate, so long as he's Black?
