Vox populi writes of Wilson:

"Thank god this isn't Nazi Germany or you'd be the one with the pink triangle helping the Nazis find the rest of us."

This is the most apt description of Wilson I've yet read. It is so true....Wilson craves acceptance by the powerful so intently he would gladly sell out his people, his family, probably his mommy.

STOP CHANGING THE SUBJECT, Wilson, and answer Gary's question. Have you and your candidate no decency?

Not when it comes to you, Wilson.

Wilson, you're a washed up, self-hating piece of garbage. Your candidate affiliates with anti-gay bigots, and you defend that bigot? You sicken me. Thank god this isn't Nazi Germany or you'd be the one with the pink triangle helping the Nazis find the rest of us.

So getting back to the point of the discussion, Andre Carson has said in the past that being gay is a lifestyle choice. It's clear that he and this minister are birds of a feather in that regard. First Farrakhan, now Benjamin... I expect Fred Phelps might be next.

But Gary, you just said "I object to any politician attending a church service other than his own at election time in an attempt to win votes."

So do you reject, denounce and renounce Jon Elrod for "attending a church service other than his own at election time in an attempt to win votes" ?

If Jon sought this man's endorsement, then yes, I would denounce it. It is not clear to me, Randy, that Jon sought his endorsement. Wilson boasts that Andre sought and received Benjamin's support. The story you reference says Elrod attended one of the services. It does not say he sought or received any support from Benjamin from the pulpit as Carson did.

Gary, will you denounce Jon Elrod for this?

"Elrod spent a portion of his Sunday at Light of the World Christian Church, 4646 N. Michigan Road. Places of worship are important, especially when a candidate is trying to connect with black voters, he said.

"It's a good way to reach out to African-Americans in the 7th District," Elrod said. "

I can't speak to what Elrod may or may not have done, but I object to any politician attending a church service other than his own at election time in an attempt to win votes. Candidates weren't allowed to campaign in the Methodist church at which I attended when I was growing up, and that's the way it should be. Your words of what your candidate did speak for themselves, Wilson. As always, you're always waving to look over here instead of the issue at hand to deflect attention away from your candidate.

It was widely publicized that the Sunday before the Special Election, your own Republican candidate Jon Elrod proudly attended Light of the World Church to get a little pre-election "bump"...
