No, but I think he is referring to the verbal battery which ensued after she made the comment. Just because one doesn't believe in gay marriage and openly expresses doesn't make them deserving of public ridicule. People are entitled to their own opinions, and unless she was trying to exterminate all homos, I don't think the media responded properly, the response was far too extreme. I didn't hear as much outcry over Jeremiah Wright's rant as I did over Miss California. That is pretty sad honestly.

Did people trash Obama for it? Nope. That's why he said it.
