Two gay men joining an impromptu rally celebrating the election of Barack Obama as our next president were attacked by an angry McCain supporter in Washington, DC. The men who were carrying a rainbow flag were rushing to join other Obama supporters heading to the White House.
This attack shows the bitterness and anger that the Republican Party has used over the past decade to rally its base while dividing the American people. If the party continues in this direction, it will further alienate the majority of Americans while trying to appeal to an ever smaller portion of the electorate.
