Good As You

Andrew Sullivan is such a piece of dog crap. Self-hating, war-mongering, bush II-ass-kissing piece of dog crap.

that was fascinating.

Tom, Do you know anything about Andrew Sullivan? He is constantly attacked in the GOP for his lack of support of Bush and he is one of the few conservatives that are calling for action over the horrible use of torture by the US governement. He is more of a European conservative than a US conservative. He supported Obama because he believed him to be the more conservative canidate. He is not supportive of the GOP as currently structured with its goals which he believes are not compatible with true conservativism. Also he is not self-hating at all. He is a married gay man that has been out for years.

I watched this via Joe My God (great blog, as well) and I've never heard a person talk more out of both sides of her @$$ than Ms. Gallagher. I don't need to describe it, watch for yourself. Nick Herbert was the intellectual highlight of the entire program. Good job Nick!

I watched it directly from the cato site. Maggie certainly came off as an idiot. I hope the program will be available soon. I don't have much to say about Sullivan. It seems much of the conversation was a debate over British politics, with Maggie not really adding much other than her tried & true (de-bunked)talking points.

"... I've never heard a person talk more out of both sides of her @$$ than Ms. Gallagher."

Chris, those are referred to as the "two great halves of her @$$".

What did you expect out of Gallagher who thinks teh geys are less than human, but doesn't want to be know as a bigot. There's no way to pull that off without talking in circles.

It is absolutely true that Maggie has exhausted her playbook. We all now know the full extent of her arguments. There is nothing new under the sun. She will keep repeating the same lines, and they will keep ringing hollow when fairly scrutinized.

She's not a dumb person. It's really kind of sad to see an intellectual struggle to justify something that simply cannot be justified.

I love the way Maggie finds the most poetic and gentle ways of saying, essentially, that families with biological children deserve preferential treatment in society over other families, and then when she gets called out on espousing such an ugly idea, say for instance by the "white liberal radio host" in Maine, she's just so shocked.

"I've...I've...(sniff)...come to accept that our society is in a place where my euphemistically worded discrimination gets labeled bigotry."

It's like punching some one in the face with a bouquet of flowers and turning their angry response back at them.

"But they're roses! Do you hate flowers? Why do you persecute my green thumb?"

I couldnt watch- did Maggoty sigh dramatically, as only a Christian martyr can do?

Yes, I know sullivan well....he only quit supporting Bush when Bush became unpopular. He supported him during the run-up to war. Look it up. If I am wrong, provide me the links.

One Catholic bully debates another.

Whatever.

If there were a hell, there would be a special place in it for gay men like Sully who oppose abortion rights.

Worthless meets even more worthless.
