Tweety and Barney Frank are busting Tony Perkins chops over marriage equality...

This is great!

1. 8 ... 9 ... 10 ... YOU'RE OUT! Barney Frank by a KO in Round 1!

Every time Perkins tried to walk back his own words, Barney grabbed them and shoved them right back down Tony's throat.

2. Perkins wants this set-up:

Congressman Frank just ripped Perkins over Discounting special needs and chronically ill children as not being worthy of adoption by male/female married couples. Perkins insisted there aren't enough children to be adopted, that couples go out of the country to adopt, but Frank said there are plenty of children with special needs that being loved and adopted by gay couples. Perkins said, "Well, if you count them..." referring to the children. He doesn't think imperfect children should be adopted by anyone except gay families.

I suspect he will use their chronic illnesses, especially psychiatric illnesses, to "prove" that gay families raise (create) kids with problems.

4. Parents go out of the Country for White children

and Barney was trying to get to that but it was a great show nonetheless.

[gratuitous]

3. If Perkins was treated like this more often, maybe he'd go on these shows less often

It's amazing what happens to a demagogue when someone is well-prepared with facts and the demagogue's own record. If Perkins got this kind of treatment every time he opened his yapper on one of the chatter shows, he'd probably think twice about accepting the invitation.
