Huckabee: Asking Christians To Accept Gay Marriage Like Asking Jews To Serve Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp

[undeterred]

A man without a clue.

[msongs]

1. and here I thought the pork/shrimp thing applied to christians as well. oh those jesus loving cherry

pickers, choosing which parts of their own bible to ignore or follow, based on their own personal prejudices

[PNW_Dem]

2. Yum!

[undeterred]

3. On his reading the Bible is antithetical to human rights.

Or where there is a conflict, it is a profession of Christian faith to throw human rights in the garbage with arrogant disdain.

[raging moderate]

4. No, it is like asking Jews to let other people serve bacon-wrapped shrimp.

Thank you, Jews, for modeling tolerance for the rest of us. I think it is beginning to catch on with some of us.

[JDDavis]

6. You got that right.

Defeat the false equivilencies with rational thinking.

You got it right, no one is forcing you to eat Kosher meals, except if you want to.

[BlueCaliDem]

5. Not Christians. Evangelicals. There's a whole world of difference between the two. eom

[iandhr]

7. I am Jewish.

I would love some bacon wrapped shrimp.

[Behind the Aegis]

22. Disgusting!

But, have you tried meatloaf in a bacon-wrapped lattice?! YUM YUM!

[cantbeserious]

8. One Surmises That Love And Tolerance Is Out Of The Question

eom

[Panich52]

10. Funny, I don't remember reading about Jesus as a gay-basher in the Bible

But I guess ex-evangelical theocrat, but new Dominionist theocrat Huckabee should know.

[JDDavis]

12. Evidently, only if you read between the lines

Or it got lost in translation.

Or... something.

[YOHABLO]

11. The mere fact that he thinks he could possibly win the Presidency shows just how clueless he is.

I know a lot of Jewish people who eat pork and shell fish .. and they're gay!!

[Warpy]

13. Who does that old fraud think he is, the pope?

He doesn't get to tell Christians what to think any more than he gets to speak for all Christians.

I wish Christians who get the point would start repudiating this old bastard publicly.

He desperately needs equal doses of humiliation and laughter plus a pin to puncture that massively overinflated ego of his.

[RKP5637]

16. People like him really get my rile. They speak as if they have a telephone to their god and

represent all of their religion as some type of ambassador. This guy is a fraud and an asshole with a loud mouth. Frankly, he's an outrageous POS, as well as an outrage to any credible religion.

[AtheistCrusader]

20. Actually in-line with the pope's ideas.

24. Really!! And it's not the same at all, what a dumb analogy!

Jewish people don't mind the bacon-wrapped shrimp...they don't want to partake of it if they're following the dietary laws, but they're not trying to tell the non-Jewish people what they can or cannot eat.

Hey, I don't like beets, but that doesn't mean I want them outlawed!

Hasn't this idiot learned to live and let live?

[Warpy]

25. No, and like all the others of his ilk, he completely lacks personal boundaries

so what seems to work in his life must be forced on everybody else.

He's absolutely the worst kind of Christian.

[Chemisse]

30. God says no to beets!

He doesn't like them. The bible says they're bad (it's in there somewhere; you just have to believe). We are a Christian nation (it's in the Constitution! Really!).

God-fearing Americans shouldn't even have to smell them cooking, much less see someone else eat them. And therefore beets must be outlawed.

[MADem]

32. Ha ha ha!!!!

If I let intolerance rule my heart (and my taste buds), I'd probably not only join that anti-beet church, I'd be the preacher waving the seed catalogue and pointing to the pictures of the beets with great scorn!!!!!



"Get thee behind me, BEETS!!!!!!"

[Jamastiene]

29. They can't. They gave all their money, time, effort, and energy to the poor

and don't have the money to buy enough airtime to counteract him. Ever noticed that? The ones like him are super rich and running their trap on TV all the damn time, but the ones who get the point don't have the power to get even close to equal time on air. Your post is spot on, btw.

[weissmam]

14. vanity canidate

his only purpose is to increase his speaking fees and sell books to him self

[Chemisse]

31. Indeed. Which is why he keeps turning up, like a bad penny, in presidential races.

15. This absolute jerk makes a mockery of free speech. n/t

17. Will this malignant pig ever shut up?!!?

[madamesilverspurs]

18. Really?

[AtheistCrusader]

19. Tough shit, bigot.

[markpkessinger]

21. Uh, no Mike!

Actually, enshrining the objections of (some) Christians (not all by any means) would be like passing a law preventing YOU from consuming bacon-wrapped shrimp because some Jews don't eat shellfish and pork!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

23. Do these assholes even KNOW they are going down in history as assholes?

There was a time when "Christians" claimed it was part of their religion to consider black people to be no better than farm animals.

They claimed having black people married in a church was as much of an insult to God as having pigs or cows married.

[elleng]

26. NO ANALOGY,

but as usual, PRETEND it's analogous.

28. Says a man who looks around for victims to hurt like a murdering pedophile. n/t

[Nitram]

33. Asking Christians To Accept Gay Marriage Like Asking Jews To Serve Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp?

No, more like asking Jews to ignore the fact that some restaurants serve bacon-wrapped shrimp to customers who order it. They don't have to see it, smell it, or eat it.

[Stonepounder]

34. Damnit! My father was a Christian minister. I was raised in a Christian household.

And the biggest damn lesson that I was taught in that Christian household was to accept people as they were. My father was pro Civil Rights when Civil Rights wasn't cool. He almost got fired from the church he worked for (it was a really big church with something like 17 ministers on the payroll) because he signed the 'fair housing pledge' - one that said he would sell to any qualified buyer, regardless of race, color, or creed.

And that, not 'bacon wrapped shrimp', is Christianity!

35. Remember what Sarah said Rev....

Watch those pointy fingers. Nitwit.
