May be the question is : Why does HN need to use ClickPass for OpenID which wants access to my Google Contacts ?

Create an account without using OpenID? As for why it needs it, no clue.
This is a little more clear when compared to other sites where I use openid to login. for eg (taken via https://www.google.com/accounts/IssuedAuthSubTokens):
www.clickpass.com — Google Contacts [ Revoke Access ]
stackoverflow.com — Sign in using your Google account [ Revoke Access ]
facebook.com — Sign in using your Google account [ Revoke Access ]
grooveshark.com — Sign in using your Google account [ Revoke Access ]
