Don Sneed, from the Abe Lincoln Club claiming to represent "Black Gay Republicans" was a guest on Sirius Radio's John McMullen Show.... He used that opportunity to try to call out Log Cabin Republicans....

This suggests that the group isn't serious about reaching out for the Bush campaign with a new target demographic, but rather that the group's goal is just to try to stir division within Log Cabin Republicans.

"The hostility we are receiving is from people who don't understand our legitimate reasons for endorsing and supporting President Bush's re-election," said Anthony Falls, ALBRC National Spokesman. "This decision is well thought out; it has merit, we are sticking with the decision, and we will not be bullied by those who claim that they should decide what black gays should think and do when it comes to politics in this country. That in and of itself is a form of extreme prejudice and bigotry."

Yup, play the race card again....

Now I'm curious: is this group a Blacks only group... because Don Sneed says:

"Yet we have also received calls of support and encouragement (from black and white gays) and inquiries about them about starting chapters of the ALBRC in their cities."

Now it's true that there are Gay Republicans who disagree with Log Cabin Republicans decision to withhold endorsement from Bush. Gay Patriot (who is anonymous) "tells Log Cabin Republicans to Shove it" on his blog. But this has nothing to do with race.

There are other web forums discussing this Bush endorsement.

This is convincing some of them to switch from Bush to the Constitution Party's Peroutka.

There's a number of comments on this post, though many seem focused on Mike Rogers and the Outing campaign.
