Warren's own backlash
Ben Smith's Blog —
Gay leaders are outraged that Obama chose Rick Warren to deliver in the invocation, and now pro-lifers are mad at Warren for doing it.
The optics of which are probably more or less what Obama wants.
The other side isn't happy either
Political Animal —
THE OTHER SIDE ISN'T HAPPY EITHER.... One need not look too hard to find someone on the left who's upset about Rick Warren delivering the invocation at Barack Obama's inauguration. But as it happens, liberals aren't the only one who are upset by the news. In an interesting twist, plenty of conservatives are mad, not at Obama for inviting Warren, but at Warren for accepting the invitation. David Brody, a correspondent for TV preacher Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network, reported today that he's been "flooded with emails and most of them absolutely rip Pastor Warren ...

I didn't see this coming and I should have: While people on the left are angry at the fact that Rick Warren will be the invocation at Barack Obama's inaugural, there's also anger among religious conservatives opposed to abortion.

The Smoothness of Obama
The Moderate Voice —
... If he hasn’t proved it before, Obama reminded everyone that he is a game changer. He has gotten uberliberals and the Christian fundamentalists fuming over a prayer that will last for only one minute. No one has been bright enough, or organized enough, to out maneuver him over the past two years. Has there been a Blagojevich story today? Things that make you go hmmm. As they say in my neck of the woods… don’t hate the player, hate the game. ...
Christianists vs Warren
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
... Gay people aren't the only ones upset by the choice of Rick Warren to deliver the inaugural invocation. Check out David Brody's email in-tray. I have to say this makes me more comfortable with the choice. Obama is trying to take us past the culture war to an actual dialogue. Obama is a liberal Christianist - and that has long been obvious. His timing could be better. With the raw memory of Rick Warren's active push for Proposition 8, it's understandable that the pick is a little much for many. I get it. It's hard having worked for twenty years for gay inclusion and having ...

Tainted Inaugural
Taylor Marsh —
... Boy, can I relate to David Brody. That is as far as email inboxes are concerned.
It seems that certain die hard members of the unhinged fringe are working overtime, via email, to equate Obama’s colossal
pander to the wingnuts represented by Rick Warren, and my subsequent dutiful evisceration of Obama propping
up of said wingnut, as equal to "buyer’s remorse" setting in. Like
I would ever have supported the likes of McCain-Palin? Honestly, I haven’t had
such a good laugh since Tina Fey mimicked Sarah Palin on SNL, making a fool of ...

... as well as the religious right , some of whom are even attacking Warren for accepting Obama’s invitation. She called it Obama’s “first big mistake”: MADDOW: What are we left with here? We are left with the cold, hard political fact that this is a lose-lose proposition for Barack Obama, the first big mistake of his post-election politicking. The Christian Broadcasting Network folks are proverbially loaded for bear against him anyway. … And Obama’s supporters among centrists and progressives? Well, they just dumped a big bucket of tarnish all over Obama’s star power. Watch ...
Pro-Lifers Upset With Rick Warren Over Obama Invocation
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias —
There has been a wealth of media coverage regarding liberal outrage over Obama picking Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration. However, the MSM has predictably ignored the other side of the story. Many Pro-Life activists are upset with Rick Warren for accepting Obama's invitation. David Brody of CBN News reports on this: Liberals and gay activists aren’t happy with Barack Obama for choosing pro-life and prop 8 supporting pastor Rick Warren to give the invocation at Obama’s inaugural. But pro-life readers seem to be equally upset ...
Is Fred Barnes Homophobic Or Just Out Of Touch?
News Hounds —
... During the “Up and Down” segment of the December 18th Beltway Boys show, Rick Warren (not surprisingly on America’s “Christian” network) was given an “up.” Fred Barnes said that gay rights groups are “hopping mad” because of Warren’s promotion for California’s Prop 8 which outlaws same sex marriage. Not surprisingly, Barnes didn’t mention that many in the “pro-life” (anti-choice) movement are also not happy campers. A clip of Warren, stating that he was against changing a 5,000 year definition of marriage, was played. The clip was a nice reinforcement for the homophobes in the ...
