But that's the whole point, Scott. If we didn't speak out and say 'hey, we're concerned about Rick Warren's role in the inaugural,' there would be no context to bring those bigoted views into the spotlight and question them.
I'm concerned about Warren's role. But I'm not really upset yet since - think about what his role is NOT - it is not a cabinet position. He will not be part of the administration. Therefore, he will not be setting policy.
Voicing our concern is the perfect way to raise awareness, which is what needs to take place.
