Care to cite the exact quote where Jesus condemns homosexuality? Quit playing stupid.

You really think this is a clever retort?

Jesus upheld Old Testament law which explicitly condemns homosexuality.

Come on, try asking something that actually takes a little bit of digging to answer.

And I still haven't seen a direct quote from the good Senator saying that he opposes early voting because black people. That's what his racist critics are saying, but it doesn't seem he ever said it himself.

This story seems to be from 2014. Fran has a page to himself here:

Like posting a story from 2014 and making it look like it is somehow news?

Well, shunya didn't actually say it was a new story, he just said here is another example of the obvious racism in the leadership of the republican party.

[Mountain Man]

Similarly...

It's not similar at all. The connection Jesus makes is very direct:

Old Testament law explicitly condemns homosexuality
Jesus, on numerous occasions, upheld Old Testament law.
Therefore, Jesus endorsed the condemnation of homosexuality.

If you want to draw a parallel then what preexisting statement condemning black voters did Millar explicitly endorse? What policy condemning blacks did he explicitly uphold?

(Hint: The answer is "none".)

this location is dominated by African American shoppers and it is near several large African American mega churches

Were his statements factual in that the location that Michelle Obama went to was "dominated by African America shoppers", and was it "near large African American mega churches"? Was he right to peg this as nothing more than a "partisan stunt"?

Yes, yes, and yes. There's nothing inherently racist about stating simple fact.

He also said that, in general, he prefers "more educated voters than a greater increase in the number of voters." Again, a reasonable, non-controversial statement that in no way implies that blacks are less educated.

The real racists here are Millar's critics who insist that the term "educated voters" necessarily excludes black people.

he said "More overt racism" as if it were something happening now. Usually "more" doesn't refer to 4 year old news. Shuny is sneaky that way. He didn't say it was a new story but implied it and did not mention it was 4 years old. To give him the benefit of the doubt, he probably didn't realize it was. He is absent-minded that way.

My guess is that shunya didn't even realize that the story was 4 years old, like many who were replying didn't notice it until you brought it up. I doubt he was trying to pull the wool over anyones eyes, if he knew it was 4 years old, he also would have known that someone is going to catch on to that pretty quickly.

You may have a point. frank-n-beans is rather infamous for citing sources without bothering to read them first.
