An open letter to Lt. Dan Choi

Choi sent a tweet calling David Axelrod a "dumb fuck", then deleted it and sent another tweet with the same unhelpful comments about President Obama, but without the profanity. I have spoken privately to Choi in the past and offered him advice, which he clearly did not follow, so this time I talked to him publicly.

Excerpts:

@ltdanchoi: Shameful that @BarackObama denies us marriage and full citizenship. (Add militant anger here...) @davidaxelrod

[.....]

@allanbrauer to ► .@ltdanchoi I thought you were a compelling, though very unfocused and confused young man, and needed some coaching.

@allanbrauer to ► .@ltdanchoi You have passed from being a useful voice for the LGBT community to an embarrassment for whom I must apologize to others.

@allanbrauer was so spot on.
