For shame HBO (And sound technicians at inauguration)

For those of you who did watch the Inauguration yesterday, or at least a part of it, Bishop Gene Robinson had been cut out of the inauguration. Now there were sound difficulties, so not that many people understood what he said, but this was live footage in which HBO had cut him off entirely. They couldn't have known there were problems with audio (I call conspiracy).

what did Bruce Springsteen do that was so bad? just wondering...I pretty much hate his music, even though I mostly like stuff from the 60s and 70s

Well let's see. He was raised religious, but was gay. The two aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, you can be a Christian and love gays.

The fact that the spotlight is on the crazies who think gays are the downfall of society has warped your perception.

hahaha, yo dude you're always jumping to conclusions and assuming things. i never said anything bad about gays, just that being a gay christian makes no sense. the bible is loaded full of things that say its wrong. i have several gay friends, and gay relatives to, so my perception hasn't been warped by anyone. seriously man, if anyone is quick to judge on here, it is YOU. "

also, i totally missed the inauguration. was it as special as they were trying to make it out to be? its so silly man. i heard they had this huge expensive party with celebrities afterward too? that just seemed ridiculous. i was working all day, and when i got home i watched the steelers game. wanted to watch it but o well, doesn't really seem that important to me. when washington did it, he just waved his hand and that was that.

No, you made it sound that the two cannot be together. I have made no reference to any Anti-Gay rhetoric you never said.

I'm just pointing out that some Christians can be gay, are gay, and will be gay. Same for all religions. Plus I suggest you watch "The Bible Tells Me So", shocking things to learn.

Wut?

Since when did christianity have acceptance of gays?

Man so much changes in ten years. Was God informed that we changed the rules?

The Bible tells you to love everyone. Not hate on anyone. But that's not the point.  Snipzor! Not everyone is in love with Jazz Fusion. I personally don't like Gangsta Rap, but when 50 Cent gets on stage during my shows, I change the station, not get pissed off and call the station pathetic. Not everyone loves listening to the Bishop's speeches. Springsteen was a big part of Obama's campaign, it's only fitting that he got the air time. And for the people like you who would rather hear the speech: It's online for you to see."

lol I wanted Hillary, this Obama inuaguration is all an act, he's tryin to be FDR, but he hasnt proved himself to be anywhere near FDR yet

A gay Bishop? Are you fucking kidding me, Catholicism becomes more of a joke every day, it's a shame the religion didn't die when the sick priests molested all those children.

I don't like the Bruce Springsteen hate that is existent here. Yeah, to everyone his own, but Bruce Springsteen is my favorite musician.

A gay bishop?  Wow, didn't see that one coming.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I think we should light him on fire. =]

Now if you don't know who Bishop Gene Robinson is, he is the first openly gay Episcopal Bishop who was invited en lieu of the Warren invitation. If you want to see his prayer, you can find it HERE.

For shame HBO, for shame. Show us Bruce Springsteen but don't even show an awesome speech?! Pathetic, both Springsteen and what HBO did.

EDIT: Here's a little fun fact. During Gene's ordination, he had to wear a kevlar vest. There's no hate like Christian hate.

ÉDIT: Third time reading speech, third time I have been moved to tears.

Conspiracy? How about the fact that people would rather watch one celebrity (Springsteen) celebrate the election of another celebrity, instead of hearing some speech by a guy nobody has heard of."

I heard of him, it was pretty big deal. It caused a schism within the Episcopalian Church."

I totally agree, this is bullshit~!

WTF?"

Springsteen is easy to hate for his mid 80s stuff, but listen to Nebraska a few times and tell me the guy doesn't have talent.

I love all of his stuff because I am just from New Jersey, but there is no way you can hate the album Born to Run or songs like "Atlantic City" or "Nebraska". That is real stuff there."

My Christian friends at college were pissed off about this. They wouldn't shut up about it, this was all they talked about."
