Sirius XM: NC State Sen. James Forrester Can't Answer Basic Questions

[Islander255]

The only thing that makes this video even more awesome than it already is is knowing that that dithering, fumbling idiot is sick and fading as he talks, and that in a month he would be dead. That just puts a smile on my face!

[rdlively]

Hey, don't invoke reason into this discussion. :-) I'm sure people like him would like a ballot measure on slavery and interracial marriage. LET THE PEOPLE VOTE!!!!!

[Belove48]

This guy died a bigot. So sad.

[NobodysOffTheHook]

"I'll ask you some simple yes or no's - how about that?" ROFL.

[NobodysOffTheHook]

Thank you, Michael, for being so awesome.

[smile82ify]

Why not call a bigot exactly what he is @rextrek.....we call drunks alcoholics and tell them to get help...would hard core christian zealot be more preferable...these people need help they don't get it....

[ApolloBoy]

This is what would happen if Chris-chan was a politician.

[suvariboy]

8:30 "I can't answer all of these questions that you have..." WTF?!? This guy is absolutely disgusting. Who voted for him?

[xxstarfaeryxx]

yessurreee bub i read dat them homosexuals ar dyin' young cuz of ther sinful laafstaaale. an dat's why you caint let 'em get married. i read it in dat der Turek book, naace short book, got pichures in it, too. must be true on account of turek bein' a christian and all....

[metta8888]

Gay marriage ban advocate falsified medical credentials

kinston.com/news/ban-76707-ral­eigh-credentials.html

[Xenodamus]

I see that even shit-kickers can become MDs. What a disgrace to his profession.

[goodgirlkay]

It's called BIGOTRY, plain and simple. There doesn't have to be a rhyme or reason just illogical fear and hatred.

[kevinvt83]

How did this James Forrester become a Senator in the first place? And having an MD?

[RushLynx]

I would like someone on the boards of the scientific organizations that this man is a member of to watch this and promptly remove him from their ranks. This man is not a scientist; he's an insult to the scientific community and any organization associated with him is losing massive amounts of credibility by allowing him amongst them.

[andreablackert]

the mental image of this imbecile sweating and squirming really made my day... the topper? the Mrs. in the background trying to "help"

[diggetybop]

good job, ms!

[cbell49]

I am ashamed that he represent's my state. No , I do not vote "the bible" as these hipocrit's want their follower's to do. This idiot said most of these thing's at a "town hall" meeting in a church. The only people that knew he was speaking was church member's and the local paper.They are trying to use religion to spread their hatred.

[ewolff1516]

Unbelievable! He has NO idea why he wrote the bill. He can't support it and isn't interested in supporting it. Can't even say why his own bill is important. What an idiot.

[rhabdoviridae]

Damn! He ripped this ignorant hayseed a new one. I've rarely seen a buffoon like Forrester get served so fucking beautifully.

Excellent!

[eddie94603]

Sen. James Forrester is an MD? He's in office? And he can't explain himself? He's a goddamn bigot. A coward too.

We didn't vote on his marriage or other straight marriages... why do "they" feel the need to vote on my rights. My tax dollar is paying his fat bigoted ass on the Federal Payroll... WOW...

[eddie94603]

@eddie94603 my mistake - State Sentator... Well North Carolina - you got what you paid for. Suck it!

[TeeDog63]

It also speaks volumes how much of an ugly, hateful, bigoted homophobe Sen. James Forrester really is and isn't willing to admit it!! Honestly!!! Who votes these people in to run our country!!?

[bluetextonwhitebg]

I'm so sad that we can't joke about any dislikes on this video....BECAUSE THERE ARE NONE! :)

[oneperson2person]

@bluetextonwhitebg There is one dislike...now we can say that Senator James Forrester made a youtube account just to dislike this video.

[CorporalHicks8]

Wow, North Carolinian's should be embarrassed for voting him in. But then again, I'm from Utah so it's not like I have much room to speak. But seriously, this was ridiculous. How could he not know some of this stuff? He was amending a freaking constitution!

[the7ofswords]

Great interview!

So, according to this State Senator ... it's a simple matter of what the majority wants, on a state-by-state basis? By that logic, we would still have slavery down there.

These idiots can't come up with a good reason for their actions, because they're afraid to talk about the REAL reasons: bigotry and hate.

[russiaboy58]

I am copying this interview to post on my Facebook and will be telling everyone I know to watch it for themselves, so they can hear the undeniable ignorance, stupidity, and hate that James Forrester has. What an idiot and my question is who voted for this woeful excuse of a human being. I was fuming listening to the smug tone in which he speaks and he's just like our half-wit presidents (Bush and Bush) can't hang with someone that speaks truth.

[vital427]

He is a coward! Another religious nut.

[cryan71]

Wow.

Would this idiot let people vote to ban interacial marriage?

[liotie]

8:30 BURN

[Tatsuyoujo]

Now someone needs to grill our gov house like that here. I really can't talk because I live in LA, but I'm going to say it, anyway. THIS GUY'S A JACK ASS! I feel bad for everyone that voted for him, but i don't feel bad for him at all. I hope he goes down in flames!

[bluetextonwhitebg]

OMFG! This interviewer came armed to the teeth with MAGNIFICENT facts and questions!! :D

[rg0057]

Great interview.

Signorile: "I expect you to be knowledgeable"

Forrester: "Why don't you check with somebody else then".

This would be funny if it didn't affect so many people's families.

[Tatsuyoujo]

@rg0057 I couldn't agree more. As much as I want to laugh, I can't. His stupidity shouldn't be in charge of people's lives.

[timhgy]

Here you have it ladies and gentlemen. This, pathetically enough, is the most cogent, rational and reasoned argument against allowing gays and lesbians to marry.

With all due respect to the State Senator from North Carolina, "just because" is not a rational basis for withholding a state issued license from someone.

Truly sad!

[drone5]

"I can't answer all these questions you have..."

Near as I can tell, he couldn't answer a single one! Not truthfully.

[dormantbutthole]

he's preserving marriage from gays because he thinks gay sex is "gross". that's basically his reasoning.

[smithbc81]

This guy was pathetic. How is he a doctor and a senator?! How sad for NC.

[TheCelticSkeptic]

@smithbc81 Have you ever been to NC?  He's their kind of man...

[drunkenbluto]

This motherfucker is screwing with thousands of lives, & he can't even answer why. Bigots have no reason, only illogical, hateful, untruthful talking points.

Excellent job exposing this turd, Mr. Signorile.

[jerrydoubleu]

excellent interview

[divinegrace01]

You are my hero.

[MinistryOfHousinge]

I wrote a book and it's full of facts. For example, did you know cats are very good at folding shirts? It's true and a fact because I wrote it in a book.

[BottleConcreteBlond]

None of these people can answer these questions. When you ask for an answer they go on and on but don't actually answer. You see it with people in youtube comments constantly. When you ask them how gay marriage actually affects straight marriage they can't come up with an answer.

[BOOT367]

Just another reason we perpetuate the stereotypical southerner.

[disneylandman66]

Ahv hayad a few aids patients and so forth—fucking evil moron

[Souleclipsed81]

I think this lawmaker needs to find a spot up Frank Turek's ass because he clearly isn't capable of an independent thought.

[SeparateisntEqual]

ugh. I can't believe he mentions fucking Frank Turek, another lying nutbag christian. vomit. that totally gives us all a point of reference for what kind of an idiot liar this nasty piece of filth is.

[ch5342]

To everyone in NC: what the F**K where you thinking when this person was elected to office??? He DOCTOR and a LEGISLATOR?? OMG! This why this country is in the shit hole! Bigots and uneducated people cannot serve in office. Just because he waves the bible you shouldn't vote for this person. Michaelangelo just put him into shame with the easiest and most basic questions.

[staceyrie9]

@ch5342 not sure you know how state senators work, but we don't ALL elect them. They represent a certain district. Personally I'm from the city Forrester calls the cesspool of sin, Asheville. I did not elect him.

[ch5342]

@staceyrie9 I do know how it works. It was a generalized call to everyone in NC because this senator is not the only one in the state senate and also the sate house. There are tons of legislators like him in both chambers.

[kmcbde00]

Great interview! I am grateful for people like you who bring reasoning into interviews with hatred-infused people such as Sen. James Forrester.

Keith -Gay man from Indiana

[seahorse05]

Forrester: "One man/one woman marriage for 5000 years." Not at all. Lakota chief Crazy Horse had one or two male spouse(s) and most other Native American nations also had same-sex marriages; Crow, Yumas, Omahas,....... In 17th century Fukian Province China, same-sex marriages between gay men were common. In West Africa, "woman marriage[s]"practiced by many nations. 1552: In the "History of the Indies," Francisco Lopez de Gomara documents men are marrying other men in the Indies (Caribbean).

[douglasokc]

Again & again I fail to get why these self anointing/ self-righteous christian types are so obsessed with Gay Americans bumping uglies / rump-riding / doing da nasty. Why can they NOT keep their thoughts to themselves? Is it that they think ALL sex is dirty and should only be endured for the sake of reproduction? Something of a colosal & clusterfucky psychosis is at play here. If there really is a god, the SEX, is the nicest gift she has given us. & if god is a dude - what is the dick for?

[savistomi]

Any politician who can not answer a simple question should not be in public service. He wants to ban gay marriage. When asked why he says marriage should be between a man & a woman and offers no more info.He can not answer how gay marriage harms others.Its wrong because I say so,end of statement.He is a coward and a hatemonger. Nothing Christian about this dumbass!

[socalvet]

the divorce question exposes their hate and bias for what it is: irrational.

[rextrek]

this guy he's interviewing is LONG OVER-DUE for his Permanant Dirt Nap!

[Neville6000]

@rextrek: No need for you to say that, even if he's a bigot.

[SuperContinuum]

Is there not one right wing Rethuglican who can tell the truth?

[Blairtim69]

great interview.

[Blairtim69]

The politician is a Christian.

Truth, science, reality, and the teachings of Christ have no influence on him.

He will do as he is told and taught by his religious handlers, and that is all.

[schmuck924]

@Blairtim69 Boom! Are you a carpenter... because you nailed it!

[Eltoca21]

The other day I came across something in the UK called the "Nolan Principels" for civil servants. And it made me think - surely all politicians must pass some kind of rigorous test as to their mental fitness and aptitude etc for office?

[abmindprof]

Demolished. But he doesn't realize it. He just feels attacked.

[mainebud19641]

The Government Does Not Mind If We Hate Them..As long As We Hate Each Other.

[suvariboy]

This guy is a doctor and and legislator? Ridiculous!

[DangerousTalk]

Great job!!!

[Sopmylo]

Hate and reasoning don't mix

[TheVincentVariable]

@Sopmylo Mr. Forrester has no reasoning. Clearly, his critical thinking skills suck.
