If liberals say that they want marriage to be redefined to allow for the legalization of same sex marriage, that they want marriage equality for consenting adult homosexuals and that consenting adults should be allowed to marry based upon love, and then turn around and say that they don't want marriage to also be redefined to allow polygamous marriage, that they aren't for marriage equality for polygamists (just for homosexuals) and that marriage should be based upon love for homosexuals but not for polygamists then they show themselves to be hypocrites. And they also lose that valuable weapon of calling others bigots because they show themselves to be bigoted against polgamy.
BUT, for liberals to avoid being tagged as bigots (as well as being hypocrites) then they would have to say that they support the legalization of polygamy as well - which would undermine the push for same sex marriage being legalized. Two front war.
The third front liberals open up on themselves when they bring up the Bible somehow supporting polygamy. Jesus never supported polygamy. He quoted Genesis which says that marriage was meant from the beginning to between one man and one woman. And there are NO scriptures which condone same sex marriage.
Coming soon!
He’s a bit off, there.
The Bible equates it more with BEASTIALITY than anything else.
Very interesting where this is going.
Let’s keep the discussion to Huckabee taking on same sex marriage and showing that it is hypocritical for liberals to want to accomodate homosexuals but not polygamists.
Lavender Mafia to Huckabee: “stick a spork in it... please!”
A lot of people who are biblically ignorant equate the recording of events and practices (polygamy, slavery) with the condoning of those events and practices.
The OT is mostly a history book, with later books of prophecy.

Well met.
Oh Huck, how could you be so cruel ???
Mike Huckabee, a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2012 says the effort to allow gays and lesbians to marry is comparable to legalizing incest, polygamy and drug use...
While conservatives all agree on this, I can easily see how the pro-drug Libertarians would be spitting mad over this.
Name any argument in favor of gay marriage that does not also support adult incest and polygamy. There isn't one....
As for bestiality, animals can't consent so that's not a workable comparison.
Hoist them on their own tolerance-and-diversity-for-all pittards.
A lot of well-respected people in the Bible practiced polygamy.
if they want homosexual marriage then they should want all sorts of marriage so when the guy wants to marry his daughter they should support that or when those in the FLDS want to marry their 9 wives they should support that.
marriage is between one man and one woman full stop
sure NOW he makes the strong statement.
Once a huckster always a huckster.
There is right and wrong. Who ya got?
What about a consenting 19 year old daughter and her father who both love each other?
Why leave out beastiality? Since all perversions are on the table, you might as well include it. Having sex with an animal seems as healthy and natural as two men obsessing over each others excretory orifices.
Either way, the parts don’t fit.
