CPACer: Gays Don't Get 'Extra Rights' Like The Right To Marry

[DonViejo]

Conservative favorite Ben Carson clarified on Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference that gay people have rights -- they just don't have "extra rights" like the right to marry.

"As you know, I am not a fan of political correctness," Carson said to loud applause in a video clip pulled by Media Matters. "I still believe that marriage is between a man and a woman."

"Of course gay people should have the same rights as everyone else," he continued. "But they don't get extra rights. They don't get to redefine marriage."

1. So getting married is an 'extra right'?

Amazing...they pull this stuff directly from their ass...must be.

2. In other words: "They should have the same rights, but they shouldn't have the same rights." nt

3. Howcum it is...

...that the "special rights" gays want are the rights nongays have already? You'd hear screaming nonstop if straights could only marry who the government chooses, but that's what they basically want for gays.

4. CPACers are the political arm of the KKK and like

the KKK membership, they are extremely stupid. It's genetic. They can't help it.

5. Ah yes--the old "special rights" dodge.

My BIL has been trotting that one out for years: protected class = special rights...NOT.

[okaawhatever]

6. Dr. Carson, the people of Virginia find that very "Loving" of you. nt
