Obama supports gay marriage: Shep Smith warns GOP not to be ‘on the wrong side of history’
The Cutline ^ | May 9, 2012 | By Dylan Stableford

Posted on 05/09/2012 2:09:19 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Moments after ABC revealed that President Obama said during a taped interview with "Good Morning America" that he supports gay marriage, Fox News' Shepard Smith applauded the president, and warned conservatives not to use the evolution of Obama's view on same sex unions as part of its presidential campaign.

"The President of the United States, now in the 21st century," Smith said. "What I'm most curious about, in this time of rising debts and medical issues and all the rest, if Republicans would go out on a limb and try to make this a campaign issue while sitting very firmly, without much question, on the wrong side of history."

Hey Shep, I’d rather be on “the wrong side of history” than the wrong side of God.

Agree totally. We've turned into Sodom and Gomorrah with this a-hole in the White House.

I did have to laugh at something I heard on the radio, though:"Of course they should be able to marry. They should be as miserable as the rest of us" (Not how I really feel, just thought it was kinda funny)

Shep is such a flaming homo..also..Obama is such a flip flopper. One minute he’s for fruit cake marriage, the other minute he’s against it. Doesn’t matter, Obama is going down in November(Larry Sinclair can attest to that fact)

what a complete & utter coward Shep is!!! I’d like to see him to warn black and Hispanics of being on the “wrong side”....but he won’t. Too much of a coward.

Absolutely! One day, when we stand in His presence, none of this will matter. Until that time, however, we must combat evil at every opportunity!

Odd that all these "same sex marriage" poofters never seem to mention the ineffable romance of anonymous sexual congress in public restrooms on the Interstate.

What says love like having someone's wedding tackle being waved at you, through a hole in a bathroom stall, when you are trying to get rid of greasy pork fries on the road?

A story, most likely apocryphal, says that, back when women still had hat pins, some proto-feminist nailed what was being thrust in her face to the wall, and left to a chorus of howling...

Sitting in the Monster seats at Fenway a few years back and there was Shep in back of us with a TRAY of Bud Light. That’s 8 beers folks. Six bucks a pop! And he went back for more.

it’s all a strat to undermine and destroy the family and the church.

they have civil unions... but they want marriage.

marriage is two things in one. the governmental civil union... and the religious term, marriage.

they’ll use the same tactics as they used on the boy scouts to force the fedgov to remove tax free status from churches (as they discriminate based on religious grounds NOT to allow homo marriage)... and overnight, the (remaining) churches in the US will collapse under the sudden financial burden

therefore, in defense of the institution of marriage, religious freedom, and the churches in America... i recommend from this point forward identifying any corporations supporting homo marriage... or any companies advertising on shows supporting the homo lifestyle... and stop buying their products.

kelloggs has already been identified

we out number them. make them feel it.

It’s not just fruity Shep. Virtually all of FoxNews has a pro-gay agenda. But because of their ‘conservative’ viewership, it comes out in the way they tend to consciously DOWNPLAY the issue when it arises, so as not to rile up the ‘rubes in flyover country.’ This was really noticeable last year during that weekend when NY pushed through that gay-marriage law. They barely brought it up in passing, while the other news networks were in wall-to-wall coverage (celebratory, obviously).

All those on the wrong side of God willfully are actually on the “wrong side of history”, frankly.

Shep is a news reader. If he wants to be an activist for gay causes, let him be the liberal Hannity or resign and work for a lobbying firm. What a doofus! Glad I quit watching him years ago (soon after his drama-queen performance during Katrina).

The future looks unbearably grim for those who are decent.

The future looks unbearably grim for those who are patriotic.

I’m sorry that I had children.

I sincerely hope that they do not have children of their own.
