Huckabee: Obama alienating blacks with gay marriage decision
Fox News employee and Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee said Sunday that President Barack Obama's decision not to defend key parts of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was actually alienating his African American base.
In a Wednesday statement, Attorney General Eric Holder wrote, "the President and I have concluded that classifications based on sexual orientation warrant heightened scrutiny and that, as applied to same-sex couples legally married under state law, Section 3 of DOMA is unconstitutional."
Fox News' Chris Wallace talked with Huckabee about the decision Sunday.
"You say that that could destroy the president," Wallace noted. "Isn't that over the top?"
"No," Huckabee replied. "He alieniated the African American community. Overwhelmingly, they support traditional marriages more than Hispanics and more than whites."
"Within the white community it's about 56 percent, 65 percent in the Hispanic, 75 in the African American community," he explained.
"He said he believes that it's unconstitutional," Wallace pointed out.
"He said that because some lower court decided a part of DOMA was unconstitutional, that he would not enforce it," Huckabee countered. "By that logic, then he should not try to implement Obamacare because some lower courts already decided that it is unconstitutional. That's hypocritical."
"It's hypocritical and it's dishonest because when he ran for president, Chris, he said that he supported traditional marriage. He is on the record. Now, the question is, was he dishonest then, is he dishonest now or did he change his view? And if he did, when and why?"
In fact, White House press secretary Jay Carney explained Wednesday that Obama's views on gay marriage were separate and distinct from this decision.
"I don't think that what he is doing is constitutional," the Republican presidential candidate added. "If a president begins to decide which pieces of the law he will choose to support or endorse or enforce, based on a lower court decision, not because it is actually bubbled up to a final adjudication, that is an unusual precedent for a president to take."
Wallace quickly pointed out that Huckabee had his facts confused. The Obama administration said that while the discriminatory law would no longer be defended in court, it would be still be enforced.
"It's really the same thing," Huckabee insisted. "He has decided that this is a part of the law he doesn't like so he is not going to recognize it. I don't think a president in the executive branch can thumb his nose at a branch of government that is incomplete in its assessment of the law."
Shut the fuckabee up, Mike.
By being nice to the gays the president will alienate all those fearful, ignorant, Bible-thumping African-Americans? This is just offensive to someone with cognitive abilities on so many levels. I *think* he's pandering to his base's "I'm not racist!!1!" racism by implying, "Look! We agree with you people! We're not racist; we're good Christians!"

the last thing that this black man is worried about is gay marriage. It is of no concern to me what two or more consenting adults do. Let me clear that up, as long as it is legal.
It was ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL by Federal District Court in Boston, who gives a rats ass how popular it is?
The point of the constitution is to protect the weakest members of a society from the tyrannies of the majority.

. . . as to whether a law is constitutional or not.
Obama's policies are alienating and disturbing but not because Huckabee sez so...because he is a bipolar politician, campaigns to the left and placates the right. Anyone who sees gay marriage as a threat to heterosexual unions is just messed up. If a man and a woman are walking down the street holding hands, and sees two guys holding hands, does that stir up jealousy? Is the temptation so great, you'll let go of their hand and seek a same-sex partner? This is is so ignorant, I feel like I am in a Kafka novel these days.

huckabee alienates African Americans just by being huckabee! FREE BRADLEY MANNING!!!
I only read the title of the post, and I didn't listen to the clip. But my impression from what I've heard about the black community is that they are conservative when it comes to religious issues, and they are not supportive of gay rights - on average. It's hard to generalize, since every group has a broad range of views in it, but statistically, I would guess they are not sympathetic.
You probably also still think that the black community, as conservative as they are, don't approve of interracial relationships either.

I would make a distinction between choices made by those who vote on a given ballot item in one election and what people as a whole want. Same for subgroups.
If Blacks supported "traditional marriage" more than Whites or Hispanics (which is the Hucksters contention here) it would show up in practice, not just at the polls.

"That's fu*#ing retarded."

But it does matter who turns up at the polls. I suppose that it is highly probable church based voter registration drives could have accounted for the difference. In essence bringing out the more conservative elements of the black population instead of a truly representative one.
Hasa Diga Eebowai
which is why the Slate article you cited in another comment, based on exit polls, is problematic. Exit polls with a sample size as low among African Americans as that one can have an error margin of +/- 10%.
A study conducted after the election found this:
"Exit polls found that 70 percent of black voters backed Prop. 8 on Nov. 4, even as they overwhelmingly supported Democratic Sen. Barack Obama, who opposed the same-sex marriage ban.
But an analysis of precinct-level voting data on Prop. 8 from Alameda, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego and San Francisco counties, which are home to nearly two-thirds of California's black voters, suggested that African American support for Prop. 8 was more likely about 58 percent.
That support among blacks is still well above the 52 percent Prop. 8 received from all voters in the Nov. 4 election. Much of that can be attributed to the strong religious tradition in the black community, where 57 percent of African American voters attend church at least once a week, compared with 42 percent of Californians overall.."
http://articles.sfgate.com/2009-01-07/bay-are...
Keep in mind that there was also, as I recall, disinformation put out by Prop. 8 supporters indicating Obama supported a yes vote.
"That's fu*#ing retarded."
Big City Mayor
My guess is that older African-Americans, who are more likely wedded to traditional Christian doctrine and who are more likely to vote than younger people, made up the bulk of those who voted in favor of Proposition 8.
Sure.....They do!
There is no 'they' in the black community. Blacks (gasp) are just like any other community - lots of differing opinions spanning the spectrum from flaming liberals to hard core conservatives.
Mr. Huckabee is simply playing to his ignorant base, and trying pull in the aforementioned conservative blacks for his upcoming presidential run.
Well said.

don't have openly gay friends and family, the celebrities pick up the slack. My family has already been dealing with this for a while and pre-Ricky because a cousin of mine came out of the closet a few years back, and I am still slowly coming out to our large, extended Latino family. But Ricky Martin's coming out seems to make things a little easier for Latinos to come out to their families and seems to make it a little easier on the families too.

There will be few children better cared for and provided for than the little boy adopted by Sir Elton John and his spouse also... OK, he's not Latino, but he's very, very much in the public eye.
As our colleague stated below, it's true that gays (or any of the groups targeted by the right wing) need to stop looking to celebrity for courage, but let's differentiate between ideal and actual. The fact is that Americans in general have always seemed to keep seated until some celebrity comes out for whichever cause affects them. Bravo to Messrs. Martin and John (no Abraham, apparently) for helping to wake people up.
Full disclosure: I'm white, straight and middle-aged, so I don't fall into any of the discussed groups, but I do believe deeply and strongly in equal rights for all, and if anyone's rights are diminished or taken away, all are diminished thereby.

I've thought about this alot, and I am still not certain how I should feel about the surprising (to me) lack of support by Black Americans (not to mention Uganda) towards gay people.. I am inclined to think this is somewhat if not entirely hypocritical. I suppose most of today's Black people do not remember Gay men and women standing side by side with them throughout the 60's and 70's. And this support from the Gay community has not wavered. Perhaps this unquestioned support should be re-examined.
No, just keep doing the correct thing. Always.
"And this support from the Gay community has not wavered."
Oh, I don't know. When CNN released that poll which "showed" that black voters in California put Prop 8 over the top, a lot of the gay community "wavered" like a mug.
I think there are many legitimate issues for the black community to be upset with President Obama about, but I don't think his evolving stance on marriage equality for gays and lesbians is one of those issues.

I don't think the majority of the black electorate opposes gay rights in general. Do the majority of us oppose gay marriage? I don't know...maybe. I do know one thing though- any opposition to gay marriage isn't going to "destroy" Obama or any other Democratic presidential candidate with the black electorate.
Huckabee doesn't have anywhere near as much insight into us as he thinks he does.

historically opposed gay rights and gay acceptance. That much is true. However, given the choice between Democrat that supports gay rights and any Republican, the Democrat wins hands down with the majority of the black community.
Conservative white churches have also historically opposed gay rights and gay acceptance. It's not a black or white thing, it's an education thing.

be able to get married and/or enjoy the same

at their own recent past when they did not have

Yup, this is what has taken Obama so long to make this decision. He was afraid he was going to lose the black vote because of it. I'm sure it keeps him up at night.
It was the DOJ that decided not to challenge it's constitutionality.
Huckabee hinks he knows what he is talking about.
He has spent a lot of time wearing hoods; so he thinks that makes him an authority on the hood.

who voted for Prop 8 in significant enough numbers to push it over the line. The original theory was proven incorrect by, I believe, Nate Silver, where his analysis showed that blacks voted in the same proportions as everyone else; it was the commercials NOM ran in the Central Valley and Orange County that convinced these women that, somehow, gay marriage would make their children go gay. Fear worked, again.
. . . damned if I can figure out who, though.
LOLOLOL That Huck is too much!
In his decaye brain gays are whie and blacks are straight. He's never heard of Bayard Rustin, James Bladwin, Billy Strayhorn, Langston Hughes. et. al.

Who really cares about this issue? You know it will be ok to marry whom ever you choose is a short while, this is just the way it will be, and that is a good thing.

While it's true that a lot of Black churches have been consistently against gay rights/marriage, their parishioners would have to be as stupid as Log Cabin Republicans to want to join a party that doesn't truly want them and would do nothing for them.
A majority of blacks and Hispanics do not favor equal rights for gays in general. Support for Prop 8 in California was on the same level of those who considered themselves Christians - in the 60%-70% range. The highest support was among blacks. In exit polls blacks and Hispanics repeatedly used religion as a basis for their vote. No doubt blacks and Hispanics were key in the measure as it only passed with 52%.
However, to say that blacks or Hispanics would no longer support the President over this one issue seems very far-fetched. Republicans vote against their interets and cast votes over guns, gays, religion, etc, but I don't see black Democrats staying home, much less voting Republican over this one issue.
So, really, it's more of a religious issue and not a race thing. And it would seem that if blacks and Hispanics were that focused on single social issues, the pro-choice Obama would have never been elected, no?
I've seen some stuff, man. And some thangs...
It's unfortunate that there are entirely too many single-issue voters.
Here in El Paso, we are a majority Latino town, and so many of the folks think like Democrats on a majority of issues... but vote Republican because of "teh Gay" and abortion... in LA, I remember the pastor of Angelus Temple getting flack for his stand on Prop. 8, but sticking to his guns.
I just wish these people, of whatever ethnicity, would realize that when they vote because of one issue, they're buying the whole package, so very much of which is against their better interests.

I've yet to see an evenly remote mainstream Republican contender blame gays and even abortionists for this country's economic/foreign problems as that Austrian did, especially for the aftermath/depression of WWI. We've had preachers and a few wannabes invoke teh gay for disasters and the like, but I can't see any serious presidential candidate doing that. And here, it's Bible god being pissed off about the behavior of certain people which can be changed to a point with laws - with Hitler it was just certain people period dragging the country down and they had to be eliminated for the success of the Third Reich.
Support overall for gay rights has actually increased over the years, and in some states is by far supported by the majority. Republicans have to do some gay bashing and be "pro life" because of the religious right vote to be even remotely considered viable for the presidential nomination (McCain had to ditch any thoughts of Tom Ridge for VP). But they can only take that so far, because of, yes, as Godwin said there will be comparisons, and quickly, to that paper hanger from Austria.
I've seen some stuff, man. And some thangs...
Sorry, man, but I've seen a lot of propaganda spewers blaming exactly what you said... of course, Westboro is a small group with big mouths, but there are quite a few that have blamed the gays, and other minorities for just that thing.
I would hope that there remains a large enough presence of rational people to prevent things from regressing to that degree, and it does seem that, as the right wing does not seem to know or care when their behavior, "ideas" and "philosophies" go way, way over the top, but the well-deserved belly laugh along with the sharing of events and news in spite of the MSM and Fox, and as much activism as one's life responsibilities permit may help restore at least a livable level of sanity.

Sure, you get an Alan Keys, Pat Buchanan, or Gary Bauer. Those guys know they don't have a chance, but are just making their names for speeches and talk shows. Someone like Huckabee or Romney, or anyone that wants to have a serious chance at the nomination, cannot go there. (Not that either of those would have a chance due to variouls "baggage.") Even people like Dick Cheney, Laura Bush and McCain's daughter (Megan?) are pro gay rights. Again, no serious Repbulican candidate can go medieval on gays.
Just like happended with interracial marriage, those who are opposed will grow smaller in number with passing generations. There was a study that if 60+ year-olds determined gay marriage laws, no states would allow. If it were 30 and below, only 12 would NOT allow, and save Utah (go figure) all of those states were in teh south. Unfortunately, the former group actually shows up and votes more than the latter.

Gomer is a snake oil salesman with an agenda. He once said he wants to get a law passed requiring interpretation of the United States Constitution "by Christian principles."
