KEITH OLBERMANN ON CA PROP 8

[smsteve888]

guess what I just found?

divorces in Massachusetts per 1000 couples:

2004, when gay marriage was legalized

2.2/1000

2005, a year after gay marriage was legalized

ummmmm. 2.2/1000

yes, gay marriage cost Massachusetts a stunning 0.0 more marriages per thousand couples because of their "evil" policies towards civil rights.

I wish more people would cite these statistics

[Gerbal1989]

There is more to being an American than hoarding your money, and clutching your guns. I find it amazing how this is the only thing that republicans seem to care about. But also I find it amusing that you mention the middle class when the only people who got tax breaks under Bush were the rich, the filthy rich. Do your research, and brush up on your grammar, you sound like an idiot.

[thecrazyhatman]

thats incredible! im so glad to see someone who reall understands that proposition instead of all these crazy house wives who just hear gay marriage and go all commando

[bdjennings]

Life is about choices.

[Gerbal1989]

Why? Because you don't agree with him. Please, for love god, open your eyes.

This isn't about sending people to hell, it's about accepting love. If anyone is going to hell I could only assume it's the self righteous bigots who appose this.

[bdjennings]

Self wicked is worse than self righteous.

[Gerbal1989]

If what's just is considered wicked, I'd be proud to wear the label.

[Gerbal1989]

no, he'll be around for a long time, get used to it.

Thank god for Kieth!

[Gerbal1989]

MIRCAVA4EVER,

Are you Bush's and McCain's bitch too? Good for you, it's nice to know someone still believes their lies, I'm glad their existences aren't completely arbitrary. Most people can't swallow their lies and deception anymore, you see, the rest of us have evolved enough to recognize a lying sleaze bag when we see them, but obviously you haven't. That's too bad.

And BTW, if you want to be taken seriously I would recommend you use proper grammar next time. You look like an idiot otherwise

[MIRCAVA4EVER]

gerbal1989,enjoy your light bulb,electricity bill is going to be to hight in the next to month. idiot i see who is the idiot ,when i see that you can . make your own food shopping.did you see the prices , of your food mr,shit head, i dan t sport bush i dan t sport obama, i sport the mid class ,mid class and only mid class. you talk like somebody never watch news, idiot, by the way obama and nancy and prince harry ,make to many wrong choices so far, they lead the war on the mid class,

[Gerbal1989]

Keith Olbermann is a genius. through and through.

[islandsound]

He is upset and rightly so. NO ON H8!!

[jcalebco]

If anyone can prove to me that sticking your penis into another man's ass, this orifice being the one that rids our bodies of waste in the form of crap, is not one of the most disgusting things ever, then I'll change my attitude towards gays. However, I see that my penis fits nicely into a woman's vagina. A woman doesn't have an organ that can fit into another woman's vagina, unless it's a fake strap on. Please, tell me how same sex unions are right?

[TarkinRocher]

Because legal rights have nothing to do with your sence of aesthetics, you dip.

[jcalebco]

So go dip your stick wherever you want. I can speak my mind just as you. Getting shit on my dick has nothing to do with aesthetics, dear, it has to do with cleanliness and germs. Good grief....

[poosaypirate]

use an anal douche and a condom idiot

[TarkinRocher]

Ah I see so you must be the surgeon general. Oh wait! No, you're not. So now that we have established that you are only responsible for cleanliness unto yourself it's pretty much a given that the rest of what you are speaking from your feeble mind has to do with your sense of aesthetics.

Besides, cleanliness doesn't have anything to do with legal rights either.

[Nutters25]

Guess what is one of the biggest spreaders of STD and the one "thing" that spreads cancer causing virus's in women... yes your viral infected penis... it aint clean mate!

[TarkinRocher]

And once more: STD's have nothing to do with legal rights.

Sheesh, they just keep comming and comming.

[PanicAttacks93]

All of the inconsiderate comments claiming that marriage isn't a big deal and that divorce rates are high proves that you didn't really watch the video. Yes, things like this tend to take time, but they don't have to. We've learned that equality is needed throughout the years. Why does it seem that we never truly learn from our mistakes? It's the RIGHT to wed. Giving two black people the right to marry if you're white doesn't involve you, but you know that its wrong forbidding it. Same thing.

[phillymantis]

todays debate gay marraige

tomorrows debate gay adoption

the futures debate...should gay men give birth

we are not against rights we are against a never ending agenda...that gives rights to a minority but rewrites humanity as we know it away from everyone

[petpie2]

oh my god yes.

[jcalebco]

yes. absolutely. God forbid we don't give in to everyone's wants.....

[StoogeWatcher]

Olbermann's a hypocrite and so are the rest of the gay rights propagandists. No one protested when Clinton signed DOMA. And Vermont still doesn't have same-sex marriage!

[RiskyMinority73]

The people voted, that's how it works! They lose for now. These things take time. Right now they stand at little less then half way there. By protesting, I don't know if they'll irritate people or win em over. I'd vote YES on banning crappy marriages - since those are overabundant.

[awillowcabin]

Then why don't they just ban heterosexual marriage as well? There are plenty of 'crappy' marriages in that category. Who gets to decide whether a marriage isn't good or not? I always thought that was up to the people involved, not the government putting up a list of what constitutes a successful marriage.

[NoisyJukebox]

What a fucking crybaby, I don't hate gay people, but I hate whining, sore losing dick weeds like this shit head. Anyone who says this is journalism, is dumb-period. And considering that I am former journalist I would know.

[TarkinRocher]

At age 20? Oh! You mean the high school gazette!

[NoisyJukebox]

I think I could do a better job then this guy, he doesn't even have people come on his show with dissenting opinions for crying out load!

J-101, Always present both sides of the story, that is about as basic as it gets.

I think the High School Gazette can do better then this crap. All his program is, is just a repeat of his own opinion, day in day out, even though he is a political commentator, he puts his own opinion in there and its proven the idiot uses blogs as sources!

[TarkinRocher]

"and its proven the idiot uses blogs as sources"

Wow.

[TarkinRocher]

By the way, Keith Olberman is not a journalist. He is what is called a pundit.

[jennycoleman]

Freedom is the right we all seek.

[nobodylikesassholes]

Right On Olbermann. He took the words right out of my mouth.

[zx9racer86]

who cares whoever marrys who let anyone marry whatever if someone wants to marry an apple go ahead who cares, it doesn't effect me so whats the difference?

[TarkinRocher]

How long will it take for enough of the bigots to die off so we can get past this thing?

[buckeyefan20012001]

Unfortunately too long in my mind. Hopefully, the US Supreme Court gets involved and overturns all these assaults on a minority's group rights.

[vegsocialist]

this is the sum of all the righteous rage that i feel not only for california, for Arizona and Florida who also passed anti-marriage equality measures this year and for every other state that does not have full marriage equality. any majority vote that puts minority rights in jeopardy is truly disgusting.

[lastmidnite629]

this is perfect

[margaj]

Some people, Mr. Olbermann would find you to be a hero.

[martidw]

I cant believe you fell for KOs phony baloney theatrical speech. Hes just trying to win an Emmy award to save his Titanic piece of crap show, and theres no better way than to tug at the heart strings of the poor picked on gay community. All they want to do is love and youre not going to let them. Pllleeeze! KO is so transparent in his delivery that I could hardly see his feigned expressions of deep compassion. Or maybe that was due to my throwing up. I need some KOpectate.

[aigrepsa]

Hehe funny- unfortunately Kaopectate doesn't work on ignorance.

[torirose]

i love him. love.

[stang661]

Olbermann tried to out Anderson Cooper. Saying, "Dont tell me you dont want to talk about personal life when you wrote a book about your fathers death and your brothers death, You cant move this big mass of personal stuff out for public display, then people ask questions and you say, Oh, no, I didnt say there was going to be any questions. Its the same thing as the Bush administration saying, Were going to war, but you really arent allowed to know why."

Bush+War=is that guy at CNN GAY? NutJOB!

[SpamSpope]

I refuse to believe that I will be sent to hell because of the way that God created me

[poosaypirate]

keep refusing but i hate to bust ur bubble there is no god and hell. you reincarnate 13 times and then you become god.

[jcalebco]

aaaahahahahaha....you are an idiot.

[poosaypirate]

oh shut up and go bite a goats ass would you? thanks

[jcalebco]

exactly my point. why don't you go bite some knowledge.

[poosaypirate]

bla bla bla with your pointless posts

[jcalebco]

haha....back at ya babe.

[poosaypirate]

you had no buisness here in the first place ur not SPamspope are you - no, so shut ur kunt

[melodies92]

so intense, so true

[SpamSpope]

this is probably one of the most moving videos on youtube I've ever seen. Good for him!!

[catpiss7]

I haven't heard anyone say it better. I've (and I'm straight, btw), been searching my heart and my conscience to try to understand what anyone's argument is against this, and I'm at a loss. Well done, Mr. Olbermann.

[chessman83]

listen olbermann, you're one of those people who will soon take up marriage rights for Polygamy, incest and bestiality. Doesn't everyone deserve a right to marry?  : )

[Digimastertwo]

first, most forms of polygamy arn't concentual, second, incest has been proven to lead to genetic defects, and is often non concentual, third, bestiality is also no concentual, since non-sentient being can not give concent. so unless you are comparing gays to animals, or unless you're saying all gay marriage is non concentual, find a better argument.

[castingpos]

Your points here are being marred by the fact that you can't spell "consensual."

[Digimastertwo]

Your point here being, that you have no real argument against my real point, so you take up a trivial matter, which shows how much of a failure you are.

[castingpos]

You are frighteningly defensive. Why would you assume I don't agree with you? I am simply pointing out that, while your arguments are valid, you are making yourself look foolish by repeatedly misspelling the words "consensual" and "consent" over and over, thereby making yourself appear uneducated. This does no one any favors. Before taking up a cause and making yourself an advocate for any side of an issue, make sure you're not making said side look stupid. Thanks.

[Digimastertwo]

So you're dissing me simply to diss me? That's even less mature.

[joebarniak]

Good point, he would support that. But this is the most convicincing thing I've seen.

[TarkinRocher]

Time for me to get blasted.

Polygamy- What's wrong with it? What's wrong with it as long as it is concensual?

Incest- What's wrong with it as long as it is concensual amd no children come from the union?

Bestiality- You're very much an idiot for trying to hold raping an animal in the same light as concenting humans of the same gender being together.

[poosaypirate]

MARRY YOUR SISTER ( ALSO A DOG) And have a blast, im gonna go fuck my boyfriend now ill tell him you said hi. by the way if we all came from addamn and eve, cain and able had to fuck their mom. thats gross

[kittlynkat]

FYI, your scripture places these things not only within the same book, but within the same chapter. You are making a distinction. Check your text and try again.

[ragtaglioness]

Well, I really try to be open minded but I agree with you. How much longer do we have to change morals to keep everyone happy? WHY is marriage such an adamant solution to a gay couple? Have they bothered to check the divorce rate recently? It always sounds good, but every gay couple I know has eventually broken up, so what would being married have solved? Please, there are so many grave issues that need to be fixed in this world...sorry, that's my opinion.

I await the verbal assault.....

[ragtaglioness]

I try to be open minded, but I agree with you. Why do gays think marriage is going to make a difference? The divorce rate is astronomical, and every gay couple I've known has split up, so how would marriage help? How long do we have to change morals to please everyone? Wedding vows have always ended with "I now pronounce you man and wife". Now we have to change that? Marriage will fix nothing. People will not change. Be happy with yourselves and enjoy your lives. Please.

[TarkinRocher]

-You- don't have to change anything. This should not be about titles. It should be about rights.

[ragtaglioness]

-I- am not changing anything. I don't think this is about titles. I personally think the entire situation has gotten out of hand. So, let's just let everyone do everything and screw laws and morals and everything in between. I'm sure that will help out this country's situation, because definitely allowing gays to marry will change the future of everything!

[TarkinRocher]

Thank goodness you'll be gone in 50 years tops.

[nobodylikesassholes]

This isn't about morals or whether or not the marriage will end in divorce. This is about gay couples having the same option to marry as straight couples. You talk about traditional marriage vows like this is a legitmate reason to deny people rights. If you're going to give straight people the opportunity to get married and get divorced, you have to give gay people the same opportunity. No one is asking you to change your morals. All we want is equality.

[ragtaglioness]

Oh that's right, because this country was founded on letting people do whatever they want, and we all know how great things are when everyone gets THEIR way. How could I forget? As I said before, there are so many things that need fixing in this world, and in my opinion (MY opinion) this is trivial compared to everything else. I'm more concerned with the economy than same sex marriage, but I'm heterosexual, so obviously my opinion does not count. You are not my equal.

[TarkinRocher]

Actually, this country -was- founded on letting people do pretty much whatever they want.

[ragtaglioness]

Was History a good subject for you?

[TarkinRocher]

Yep.

[malaisennui]

Bravo Keith!

I'm Straight and I was apalled at the vote so shortly after breaking down one wall of aspiration another was created.

On a humorous note, a political cartoon in Canada, thereabouts the time that we "ok'd it", two lawyers are chatting, one is reading a newspaper with SAME SEX MARRIAGE on the front with a disconcerting look on his face and the other lawyer is shrugging with the caption, "What's not to understand,,, Gay Divorce!"
