Fox’s Shep Smith: Same States That Were ‘Fighting Integration’ Are Against Gay Marriage
Mediaite ^ | January 16, 2015 | Matt Wilstein

Posted on 01/16/2015 8:05:01 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

During his breaking news coverage of the Supreme Court’s decision to hear four different cases challenging same-sex marriage bans in four different states this term — Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee — Fox News’ Shepard Smith compared the remaining resistance to marriage equality in this country to those who wanted to keep segregation intact during the Civil Rights Movement.

“Not in every case, but in most cases, the same states which were fighting integration are fighting this as well,” Smith said. “Those states which always seem to be behind the curve for reasons which are explainable and understandable. Those are the places where this is going to turn out to be the most difficult, especially if the Supreme Court stays with what has seemed to be a trend toward inclusion and away from discrimination.”

To the Wall Street Journal editor John Bussey’s assertion that “there’s still disagreement on this issue within the American population,” Smith replied, “There’s still disagreement on segregation.”

As Smith reported, by combining the four challenges to state bans on same-sex marriage, the Supreme Court could effectively legalize marriages in all 50 states with its ruling.

I watched Fox News during the French terror mess. Hadn’t seen ol’ Shep in quite some time. Seems he’s turning quite orange these days, much like an oompa-loompa from Willie Wonka land. What’s up with that?

Mississippi?
What a disgrace to our state.

Shep Smith, know this ...
This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written: Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE". And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

He probably wants to get this worked out so he and his partner can have a large public wedding in the Grove or Ford Center.

its funny how they call this a ‘civil rights’ issue all the while ignoring the silence of the laws and Constitution on the matter.

Don’t they also claim ‘Civil rights’ is:
“The most common legal application of the term civil rights involves the rights guaranteed to U.S. citizens and residents by legislation and by the Constitution. “

Doesn’t the same Constitution and laws of this country limit the power of Washington including its apparently highly corrupt Employees in black robes form ruling on any power not given to Washington in the same constitution, say for example unmentioned thing like marriage and guns?

What about the actually written and practiced “Civil Rights” demonstrated by our founding fathers and every generation sense? You know when marriage was exclusively between 1 man and 1 woman, guns were the rights of every individual without Federal interference, and Washington could never tax a man’s mere existence.

These are proven rights demonstrated and enjoyed by Americans for 200 years of history before this corrupt body of Federal employees in black robes suddenly decided they were somehow never lawfully our rights at all and just as quickly tossed them out.

This tyranny is why the Federal injustice system must be abolished! Theses people have demonstrated again and again no inclination toward either law or justice only their own corruption of will to be imposed. As such there can be no freedom until they are removed from power.

I reflexively turn away from FOX whenever either he or Geraldo comes on.

Watching Shep and Geraldo is very similar to having a root canal while they remove your testicles.

Come on, Shep. Don’t be a chicken. Come out of that closet and let your mascara wave in the breeze.

How?

Well, look in the White House. There’s one who is sort of black there.

I think he's waiting to see if there will be a Bush, Romney or Christie administration so he and his lover can have the wedding in the White House. Then he can shove invitations in the faces of Cruz, Levin and the other stalwart conservatives to see if they'll come.

Shep is a freak I cannot stand his voice or acting. It’s like watching a slug die covered in salt
