has anyone listened to their coverage of the President's announcement? I'm sure they will be all over this and damning Obama for this - I'm just curious as to how soon this will start.

He said that the President was finally in the 21st century and that people against marriage equality were on the wrong side of history.

As for the O'Reilly and Hannity shows? Well, that's going to be a horse of a different color.

gets too much for me, so I can imagine what would happen to my beautiful mind if I turned on Fox.

Nope. Won't do it. Not prudent.

9. Shep Smith: GOP Is On ‘The Wrong Side Of History’ On Gay Marriage
Wed May 9, 2012, 04:19 PM

Speaking shortly after President Obama announced his endorsement of same-sex marriage, Fox News anchor Shepard Smith suggested that Republicans were on “the wrong side of history” when it comes to the issue.

“I am curious whether you believe in this time of rising debt and medical issues and all the rest, if Republicans would go out on a limb and try to make this a campaign issue while sitting very firmly without much question on the wrong side of history,” he asked reporter Ed Henry.
