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.

He can't be happy being surrounded by BullShi......that is being pushed out of Faux. Come on Shep move to MSNBC or Current. Free yourself.
