"Constructive manner"? I thought it was constructive.
Interesting. They can't make too much of this, or it will anger the bestiality advocates like Professor Peter Singer of Princeton.
So John Smoltz has a snappy comeback if they try to go after him. "What, are you guys prejudiced against animal lovers?"
The next thing is legalizing pedophilia like they have in Holland.
Sex with animals is the next thing after that.
But otherwise, he's right on the money.
He is right.
Nah..Smoltz should invite gay Braves' fans to the Ted for a special "bat" day.....( use your imagination..)
Now why does that line strike terror in me?
In fact, Smoltz's "what's next, marrying an animal" comment succinctly summarizes the opposing SCOTUS briefs in the "Lawrence" decision, in which Sandra Dee and Friendds opened the door to legitimizing polygamy, bestiality and paedophilia.
No he won't. The pantywaist media will echo the fringe weirdos to incessant shrieks.
But the PC crowd take that question as comparing homosexual behavior to bestiality; i.e. they are both perverted. And, to be fair, some actually do mean it that way. I do not happen to agree with that harsher view, though I don't call those who espouse it "homophobes". I believe there is such a thing as moral, responsible, non-perveted homosexual sex between two consenting non-acting-out adults.
“Smoltz, a devout Christian, criticized those who want to legalize gay marriage,” the AP reported. “‘What’s next? Marrying an animal?’ he asked derisively.”
Just incredible. Typical agenda-driven headline writer and reporter. He did not compare gay marriage to bestiality. He asked what was next. If we devalue marriage, anything goes. I agree with him.
Animals are instinctually smarter than the human beasts who revel in anti-human behavior!
Unfortunately, the gay community refuses to embrace the mainstream thinking on marriage...
Ha! Take THAT!
Wonder why the journalist felt it necessary to include that qualifier?
Yes, and so?
That this is news is a sad commentary on our national mental health.

The worst thing any human being can do nowadays is offend homosexuals. The media will never let it die. Every time his name is mentioned, this incident will be recalled.
I love this quote:
Pierce, who is heterosexual, said he was personally offended by Smoltz’s remarks and demanded that the Cy Young Award-winning pitcher and perennial Hall of Famer publicly apologize.
It's just a reflexive response on the part of the loony left. Smoltz is now expected to genuflect, weep, wail, repent, grovel and beg for forgiveness. But, he has committed the ultimate and unforgivable sin: he has offended the homosexuals. He will never be forgiven.
And just how do they know who gets to be charged the lower price?
Spot on!
Rocker offended everyone. Smoltz has said something in the context of an interview that is at most ill considered. Saying that the legalization of gay marriage might lead to the legalization of animal marriage does not compare homosexual sex to bestiality. It is merely a statement that once the traditional definition of marriage has been broken down, it will be hard to limit what is an acceptable definition of marriage. This is not a controversial statement, IMHO.
Add to that the fact that Smoltz is an all around great guy who does not go out of his way to be controversial and is about five orders of magnitude smarter than Rocker, and I think this will be put to be quickly.
BTW, did you know that Smoltz tithes? Can you imagine having a parishioner tithe that sort of salary to your church? It would sure make the annual budget meeting to a whole lot smoother!
