Michelle Malkin Discusses Gay Marriage on OReilly Factor

Posted on | May 23, 2006

Michelle Malkin appeared on The O’Reilly Factor last night to discuss immigration and the bigoted Federal Marriage Amendment. On the issue of gay marriage, she states that she does not have a clear cut answer on whether or not she supports the Federal Marriage Amendment because it pits two of. On one hand she declares that the FMA does have serious implications for conservatives who favor state rights and think that this is not an issue that the federal government should even be deciding on. But in her usual style, Michelle goes off to blame the liberals for the situation in the first place. It was the gay activists who "forced" this issue on the American people and blah blah blah. Same shit on a different day. Forgive me Michelle, and forgive all the other gay and progressive people, for standing up to popular discrimination and fighting against it.

I do find it hysterical that she refers to the people pushing the Federal Marriage Amendment as "good hearted". I see nothing "good hearted" about trying to enshrine discrimination and bigotry into the United States Constitution which is supposed to spell out our freedoms. She also states that "you do not want the Supreme Court deciding these issues. They should be decided by popular sovereignty." I wonder if Michelle, with her obvious Asian heritage, would be singing the same tune when the Supreme Court stepped in and ruled in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education which sounded the death knell for racial segregation if she too had been in a state requiring her to go to a different school because she was "colored". Michelle misses the point that popular sovereignty deciding on something does not make something right. Popular sovereignty decided that slavery and segregation were okay but we know that both are wrong. Popular sovereignty has decided people of the Jewish faith and their descendents are somehow evil yet we know they are not.

To offer a dissenting view, Bill also had Kirsten Powers who is a political analyst. She, and rightly so, questions the timing of the issue because she noted the pattern how in June 2004 the Federal Marriage Amendment was such a big issue and now we are almost to June 2006 and it is again becoming an issue as if it ceased to exist prior to the Massachusetts Supreme Court’s decision in November 2003 and gay marriage becoming a reality in the state in May of 2004. She also corrects O’Reilly, who stated previously on the show that the issue was not on anyone’s radar five years ago, and noted that the issue was on the radar of right-wing "religious" organizations’ radars. Bill tries to shrug off Kirsten’s comment that the issue is political by stating that only a few Republicans in some states can actually take advantage of it this election cycle. Try Republicans in all states Bill since the entire House of Representatives is up for re-election and big anti-gay bigots like Senator Rick Santorum are up for re-election. Congress is up for grabs.

    Angry straights like that do. That must be how they define themselves.

    Next they’ll be saying that WE’RE the one’s who are projecting.
