As if showing his true colors and how he really felt about Miss California, Carrie Prejean being allowed to keep her crown on air and on Twitter multiple times weren't enough, MSNBC's David Shuster wanted to go for the hat-trick by going after Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly.
Shuster, filling in for anchor Chris Matthews on the MSNBC's May 12 broadcast of "Hardball" took aim at "The O'Reilly Factor" host for his opposition of same-sex marriage.
"Next stop, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly - who was at it again last night gripping his usual five-alarm bell over gay marriage," Shuster said.
Shuster, off a story from his usual array of left-wing storefronts he uses as sources, played a clip from the May 11 "The O'Reilly Factor," which O'Reilly warned of the slippery slope that might be created if same-sex marriage were legalized. O'Reilly asked his guest Margaret Hoover if that could lead to marrying a turtle if one wanted to.
Shuster's conclusion from O'Reilly's questions - he hates gay and lesbians or his mental health is in question.
"Marry a turtle? That argument is so ridiculous, so illogical and so stupid one can only presume Bill O'Reilly really hates gay and lesbians and doesn't want to talk about it or his cognitive reasoning skills have hit cuckooland, if you know what I mean."

Turlte was a bad example
May 12, 2009 - 17:22 ET by Kingfish17Shuster probably wouldn't have objected to O'Reilly's example if it had been a hamster instead of a turtle.
lol

Not Going There
May 13, 2009 - 09:37 ET by Wildcatter1980Nope. Not going there at all!
Seriously, it is apparent that Shuster is going after O'Reilly in an attempt to spark his own ratings. If he were to be, dare I say, fair and balanced, Shuster should mention that a key part of O'Reilly's opposition to redefining marriage based on "equal protection" to include same sex couples is that it "opens the door" to polygamous unions--2 men and a woman, a man and 2 women, etc.--and even couplings between humans and non-humans, again, all based on "equal protection".
Also, Shuster should mention that O'Reilly does support civil unions for same sex couples.
Oh?! Wait?! If he were to do that, Shuster would not have anything to talk about, would he?

Schyster just does not get it.... no he does, he is just trying
May 12, 2009 - 17:23 ET by pahuberto promote the gay agenda/lifestyle choice.
Slippery slope is real on this issue and only time will show the pedophiles coming out of the woodwork wanting their "rights" acknowleged.
Of course, Schyster focuses on the turtle, but ignores the point O'reilly makes in this clip that multiple partners will want to marry, as well.
Where will it end?
Schyster being allowed to stalk little children down by the school yard impersonating Mr. Rogers and handing out candy.
Where will it end? Probably
May 12, 2009 - 17:26 ET by balboaWhere will it end? Probably where society decides it should end.
I think they did in California, the gays just can't accept it
May 12, 2009 - 17:37 ET by Lord ErondNever in my lifetime did I think I would see activists attempt to use the judicial system to subvert the will of the people when voting openly and anonymously.

I disagree Bal, God decided for Sodom & Gomorah.

Where will it end?
May 12, 2009 - 18:18 ET by CiampinoIn those States where gay marriage is already allowed, what is there to stop three gay men or three gay women wanting to get married? If the officials objected and argued that marriage is 'between 2 people' then they would be reminded that this definition also includes the words 'of the opposite sex' or to that effect.
Humanly speaking? Nothing will stop them from bringing

Wow presume
May 12, 2009 - 17:25 ET by well99Shulster now speaking for BOR?I presume Shulster molest gerbils and is mad because he wants to marry one and cant.Maybe that is why he feels like throwing up so much.
Awwww! Isn't that cute?
May 12, 2009 - 17:28 ET by JnobleDavey Shuster thinks he's relevant and has something important to say! Isn't that nice? Now go back to whatever rock or network you hide under.
reptile racism!
May 12, 2009 - 17:34 ET by SickofLibsMarrying a turtle is stupid?
So? Mrs. Shyster married a large snake.
Another double standard.
Schuster is probably a frustrated closet homosexual
May 12, 2009 - 17:36 ET by Lord ErondBecause he behaves like a prissy little bitch on the airwaves.

May 12, 2009 - 17:45 ET by art341There's a guy out this way, Maine I think, who married his dog. I heard him interviewed on the radio at least twice. He was a little nutty, but serious.
O'Reilly does hate gays
May 12, 2009 - 17:50 ET by Kevin HalpernHe's just not in bed with them like you are, Shuster.
So if the gay guy wins, what
May 12, 2009 - 17:51 ET by rbosqueSo if the gay guy wins, what then? Will Shuster retract that absurd statement? What does that say about a gay judge judging a beauty pagent persecuting a Christian contestant?
Schuster=Olbermann light
May 12, 2009 - 18:15 ET by Mr. Grey GhostSchuster is an idiot desperately trying to be Keith Olbermann, no one should take him seriously.
If Shuster, et al, love the gay lifestyle so much...

What An Idiot!
May 12, 2009 - 19:00 ET by HoosierEmI have tried to watch David Shyster on MSNBC and I've tried to follow him on Twitter but the amount of stupidity he demonstrates was just too much for me.
Methinks these liberals are becoming a little too arrogant and full of themselves. I hope November 2010 hits them hard.
I just wanna be loved...is that so wrong?

I have given this subject much thought and I have concluded that

How about marrying a dolphin?
May 12, 2009 - 22:01 ET by mastersofdeceitHow about marrying a dolphin? (yes I realise it wasn't a "legal" marriage.)
David has obviously never been to certain parts of eastern Washington and Oregon.(think "horse love") Would America accept it? I highly doubt it. Are there F-tard activists out there that would drag it through the courts? Don't doubt it for a second.
Who looks so ridiculous, so illogical and so stupid now?
Can I vomit now?

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 61% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory (yep...approval for Congress now at 39%...do you believe that!?).
Marry A Turtle?
May 13, 2009 - 10:08 ET by GeneralAlI don't want to marry a turtle but if men get to marry other men, than I want polygamy so I can have a least seven wives, one for each day of the week!
Which came first, the turtle or the bridge?
May 13, 2009 - 11:31 ET by SkipperMLMWhat about the lady that was in love with buildings and bridges? She was Mrs. Eiffel because he was married to the Tower in France! And we were supposed to accept that as a condition and acceptable form of marriage.
The turtle actually makes more sense...
