Something important that Ron Reagan did tonight
I haven't heard a straight person refer to marriage equality as opposed to same sex marriage. It would be nice if more liberals spoke that way. I don't know how often he is going to be able to host but if when he does I intend to watch.

1. That is the only way it should be referred to
as far as I am concerned. It took me a while but I think I almost always say it that way now.....watch me end up posting something about gay marriage now :blush:.

I like Ron Reagan, a lot.

Tomorrow we demand equal treatment in the law for everyone here in Kansas. I am excited :-) Marriage equality is part of that demand but first we have to get rid of that unenforceable sodomy law.

3. hey
see you got Lt Choi to his studio for his appearance on the Cenk show. Keep up the good work in Kansas, sadly we still have our sodomy law too.

5. I missed it. Cleaning my house for guests :-)
He will be here tomorrow. Apparently the governor has increased Capitol Police and local law enforcement for our rally tomorrow and Dan responded by saying that "we do indeed intend to "engage in arrestable behavior" and we will NOT disappear."

It will be OK, I have never been arrested before but we are ready for that if it happens. If we do not make noise and demand that people hear us and see us and LISTEN to us we will disappear. IMO this is what it will take considering most people in this state are on our side but continue to pull the R lever without knowing what they are doing to people. We have 11 chapters here, they are getting a little nervous about it :7.

He was so very motivating last night. Such a nice guy and so very smart. Where did you see the show?

7. Thanks!
I am sure the coalition will post a video, or I hope so. He probably has it and I can see it tomorrow.

8. I too careful notice of that tonight. And his guests were right there with him on it.
What I find so inspiring is that he comes from a right wing legacy of a father. I'm very happy about this. This spans gay rights. It's within the context of human rights. I am hoping this opens up a new era of concern about rights that have been eroded as well as denied.

10. He was the substitute host tonight for Hardball (Chris Matthews).
I always enjoy it when he's on, he's very well informed and has a sense of humor, too. :)

Once upon a time, he did have his own show, but he was paired up with the odious Monica Crowley, for "balance," doncha know? She was so awful that I had trouble watching, and the show didn't last very long. :(

11. From what I've heard he seems like a decent guy.
However I can't separate him from his father and I despise his father and everything he stood for.

13. You're short-changing yourself.
He is the complete opposite of his father. He's smart, articulate and liberal.

16. I'll watch him next time he's on then.

It isn't fair to judge someone based off their father. I read his Wikipedia article. He seems like a pretty good guy, I love how blatantly he accused the Bush family of being corrupt.

12. Well, I'm one, not that it means anything.
He laid out an important point to the viewers of M$NBC, one that most people probably miss.

14. He should absolutely be elevated to host. If not on MSNBC, then on Current.
We need to build some damn BENCH STRENGTH!

The bad guys have 152 brazillion talking heads puking nonstop crap all over every radio and television and cable outlet imaginable. What have we got? Nine or ten?
