1. This is Textbook Right vs Left
Huck is a social retard as are all Republicans. His views are indefensible PERIOD.

2. Big Ol Huge K & R - great, great conversation - hopefully a slow shift in direction

The logic starts to trip up the conservative's discussions - and that is what will be their undoing. Yay for Jon Stewart.

5. That was great!
See, this is why I don't consider Huckabee a complete right wing atrocity. Did you hear screaming? Insults? No. I don't discount that his personal beliefs are very offensive to me, but he is one of the more 'gentle' Republicans, if there is even such a thing.

6. Please --- SIMPLIFY
Ask the most basic question.

How does a loving gay couple gaining the rights of hospital visitation, joint property, and becoming a beneficiary on an insurance policy hurt Mick Huckabee in any possible way? How could any of that possibly affect him? Why is any of that any of his damn business?

7. Jon really did an excellent job here!
And I have to say, as much as I completely disagree with Huckabee on this issue (and more than a few others), it was nice to listen to two people with utterly opposing thoughts and ideas sit down and have a reasonable conversation with each other.

8. Agreed, because if anything positive is to get done - it's done
by having reasonable conversations that include much logic - and Jon used a ton of that. Kudos to him too for bringing up marriage and when it became a 'sacrament', old testament laws, and those that pertain to marriage! Notice the dodge and weave by Huck' when slavery was brought up?!

Cheers
Sandy

10. here's another great way to approach those on the Right
'Bob, I know you're a deeply analytical guy. I've worked for years with you and I'm quite familiar with your work. You get to the bottom of the issues. Seeing as that you've chosen a heterosexual lifestyle, I was wondering home many guys you had sex with before deciding?'

12. Huckabee's wonderful demeanor and likability make him the most dangerous
of evangelicals in society. He embodies hatred based on fear dressed as love.

13. I had a hysterectomy, guess I can't get married then
That a marriage is to reproduce is the stupidest argument the anti-gay marriage people put out there.
