Stewart Goes After Huckabee Over Gay Marriage

Posted by Scanner Matt

 

These are the clips you'll be watching twenty or thirty years from now. They'll be edited as scenes and sound bites into documentaries and mainstream news stories the way old footage of the first civil rights movement is still very present in the media today.

So who wants to be the asshole who preached "separate but equal" again, only to look like an ignorant hate-monger a few decades later? Bigoted born-again Fred Flinstone does.

Jon Stewart must be having one hell of a week. We can't stop posting clips from The Daily Show, but we promise this will be the last one of the year (The Daily Show is on hiatus until 2009).


Is it us or does Mike Huckabee look like he was molded by the creators of Gumby? His clay skin, the odd way he expresses himself with his prominent eyes, that creepy laugh...

Watch Stewart enlighten Mr. God.:

I'm thankful Jon Stewart can get people like this on the show, and that he's smart and composed enough to have real, intelligent debates with people he disagrees with.

Huckabee mentioned marriage being "anatomically" male/female, with the purpose of producing children... I wish Jon would've brought up the question of, what about infertile couples, or couples who choose not to have children, or women who marry past childbearing age? If you follow Huckabee's arguments to their logical conclusions, they all reach the point of absurdity.

I have never loved John Stewart more than I did when I saw this interview.
