Anderson Cooper interviews a member of some anti LGBT pastor who seems to possess the intelligence of a 8 year old. She's incapable of using logic or understanding english as I assume her first language.

Anderson Cooper is marginally better than her, intellectually, as he lets her make claims and assumptions that any person who isn't mentally deficient knows to be false. He does make a mild effort and eventually 'confronts' her backwards thinking but only after making himself look like an idiot for allowing her failed logic to stand for over a minute.

that the media is doing it's job because 1/2 the viewer mail says they are too liberal & the other 1/2 says they are too conservative. Not those exact words, but that was his summation.

You were right, AC is only marginally better.

It's almost too easy to overlook the hatred and bigotry part, which is all too obvious. These dullards are incapable of connecting their own dots in order to make a point. On the other hand, by making homophobics appear ill-informed and just plain idiotic, she further discredits that particular mindset.

Having viewed your earlier post before it was removed...

If outcomes are important, should heretofore intractable right wingers be unwittingly manipulated into coming around to full equality and acceptance of gays including marriage equality, albeit for all the wrong / factually incorrect reasons? Maybe so, maybe not.
