It was a cheap and devicive shot, and as irresponsible and off-point as the democrats themselves. It solves nothing. It was merely more hatred, which is all democrats of the modern day seem capable of.

As Chojin pointed said, he was merely trying to point out the dfferences between his personal beliefs and the beliefs that he tries to peddle off to his followers. He was called on it. Was it sneaky and mean? Yeah. So what?! Both sides have been running a smear campaign and are equally under-handed. I think that it's pretty pathetic that he can't reconcile the hypocrisy of the two "belief" systems for fear of the fickle and homophobic nature of the support he is trying to garner.
