some follow-up from last week's prop eight debate we had ta mccluskey from
the family research council in addi goldberg in the studio
the first thing that they missus this is absolutely horace
we asked
ta mccloskey i asked him if he thinks that well here all display for you what
i asked him what is an sorts
do you think that that this type of legislation would open the door to
three-way marriages are marriages between people and animals those are two
talking points i hear
we are going to hear the people and animals argument from our separate
through historical evidence and other type of marriages white like polygamy
solis
can you just repeat back to me what he said about
animals and people
arguments from the f_ r_ c_
you won't hear them
from and so it wasn't just me who heard this bull jeremy hooper over a goodies
you dot or accept the silver to me
apparently they do do
the whole people in animals thing the first page
of one of their anti gay brochures
not only does it include a picture of a horse
it actually says slippery slope to same sex marriage and it then it goes on in
very much detail
to talk about a guy in missouri
who wants to marry his horse and isn't being allowed in says once marriage is
no longer between a man in a woman
it becomes hard to deny anyone who claims there is love and commitment the
right to marry
including this guy in missouri
who likes his horse
so according to the document
from the family research council a guy wanted to marry his horse
is similar to two men wanting to get married
incredible
we have hypocrisy
below that hypocrisy the guys just flat out either winery doesn't know what his
own organization says
without you having the ladders more likely just doesn't know
probably the funniest thing about this is no matter what you want to say about
if there is love and commitment if there is a loving commitment you need both
people to enter into the contract of marriage
what legal basis is there for a horse or any other animal to enter into a legal
contract
that that seems to be missed by the conspiracy theorists
who say will start having bestiality
and lastly your state on the stephen slater story the jet blue flight
attendant
i think they have tim's email saying you know what
stephen slater is my hero what are you talking about
that he did anything wrong with that because the identically said you know
what if if you list as a pet peeve
carry-on luggage
maybe flight attendant isn't the best job
the last time you louis it wasn't the airlines who were known for giving
particularly good
service right i mean is there anything
flight attendants are known for treating people really well and i get some people
saying well they're not there to treat you well
they are there to ensure your safety on the plane
i didn't know it to me al ways get
terrible service on airport dot o_
the it so i guess to me it seems like a kind of unenthusiastic
i guess i guess i'm confused about that so many people standing up for stephen
slater albert bell
madison got it are really just don't do we want to move on to emails in paul's
yes
so here's a new poll on our website should barackobama cab commented about
the ground zero mosk controversy log on to mid-week politics dot com
wayan will get to the results next week now when we asked last week's bowl was
about vp
and the question was
very simply do you believe b_p_ when they say
that seventy five percent of the oil industry since have been cleaned up and
the answer overwhelmingly is no seventy two percent said they don't believe it
seventeen percent said yes and eleven percent just don't know what to believe
so again mid-week politics dot com check that out emails you can email us radio
at mid-week politics dot com
ton of emails about this prop eight debate
first one it seems like mccluskey expected he wouldn't have to actually
back up his claims
i think that was the problem with the defense in the profit trial they
apparently think that whatever it is they say self-evident
and they're actually have to justify their position
very valid point another email this egghead quite literally is a jew brody
mouthpiece for an organization that is inflicting their interpretation of holy
texts
on people
even more emails judge walker has ruled already
that morality and tradition
are no longer valid legal arguments nor even legitimate reasons to decide how to
vote
and also i love it when the experts take the religious right hack jobs to measure
course
kind words about every abby goldberg the gay parenting expert who's on show
and then of course
we get uil bible argument but not what you would expect here's an interesting
one
livid at least each is s that homosexuality is the moral equivalent of
eating shellfish
white-hot all the bible thumping family values republicans protest in
at red lobster
that's a great point
yeah i did not know that
well i'm sure some would disagree right
there's all how you interpreted it absolutely is and not everybody is happy
that here's one email i'm not antique we're
i am pro-family all take family oversaw tonight terrorism anytime disbarred bond
walker
quieres hate family
okay and they just kind of a funny you know david patten is the nani evil
topple gaynor
of kirk camera that's fine kirk cameron was involved with one of ray comforts
books and we've interviewed ray comfort a couple of times
i didn't know that there was a route that i had a resemblance to kirk cameron
i don't know certainly not the curly hair for one
and certainly not the conservative uh...
whatever you would call it certainly not conservative
on target our target investigation
her phone calls to target very popular on online you've lied about the
circumstance of the recording but the ends justify the means right
well we kind of like we said the called maybe record month by my bosses and
arguably lewis's my boss and
there's no reported
and i didn't know for sure if you were recording or not your computer
fails all the time it's possible that it was a recording so i don't think i was
really line
and here's another email
some people like it they say go shop at target and reward them this is how you
vote with your dollar don't let the minority ruled the roost
and on the topic of twenty five percent of americans still thinking brock obama
is a foreigner who cares were obama was born as long as he's doing a good job
well
belies the law i have to say it but there's no evidence that he was born
elsewhere
and others
saying hate kid i don't know if that's referring to me go back to burger king
and ask for your old fried job back
question what hospital was he born in no one knows
