Melissa Etheridge is performing with Huckabee on his show

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Maybe it's a new kind of outreach.

1. Interesting...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. I am not going to automatically say it's a bad thing./NT

[yeoman6987]

10. Me either

It really is the only way to change people. So many accept gays and lesbians because of having them in their lives and exposure in the media as well.

We will have to see how this plays out.

[bmbmd]

3. Hmmmm.

Good for her.

[dsc]

4. what she couldn't find Putin's channel

I am honestly disgusted with her for doing this.

[yeoman6987]

12. Are u sure about that?

Do you think it is possible for people to change? Could Huckster? I don't know, but to sit back and not try does not make sense to me.

14. Here he is from 4 months ago

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/205887-huckabee-wants-judge-impeached-after-gay-marriage-ruling

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) is calling for the impeachment of the judge who struck down the gay marriage ban that he signed into law 17 years ago.

Huckabee, a former presidential candidate and staunch social conservative, called on the state's current governor, Mike Beebe (D), to call a special session of the state legislature to remove Judge Christopher Piazza from office.

17. I'm with yeoman

Maybe Huck will come to the conclusion that gay and straight folks are alike and as different from one another as gay folks and other gay folks are and straight folks and other straight folks are. The only think that makes straight folks different from gay folks is they are attracted to other straight folks.

5. Some people are just unaware.

Huckabee preys on the ignorant.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. He's a Free Republic hero. The cognitive dissonance may cause their pea brains to explode./NT

18. actually, they can't stand him

7. err really?

[MohRokTah]

8. That's like a chicken perfomring with Colonel Sanders. eom

[DontTreadOnMe]

9. Not a good idea Melissa...

DO NOT legitimize these whackos by going on their show...

[Ken Burch]

11. Huckabee probably still thinks she just hasn't found the right...bass player.

[Puzzledtraveller]

13. She's not petulant, like some people are <cough> <cough>

I like her for that.

[Mister Nightowl]

15. Like Elton John performing at Rush Limbaugh's wedding

[Bluenorthwest]

19. Except that Elton collected a million dollar fee for his AIDS Foundation performing for a private

wedding while Melissa will not contribute a million for her appearance on national television performing with a Republican active in electoral politics who called for isolation camps for people with HIV in 1992 as Presidential candidate and stood by his comments in 2007.

20. Maybe he can be persuaded

Wouldn't it be wonderful to hear him say he was wrong and all of are entitled to be treated with love, dignity, and respect?

[Bluenorthwest]

21. It would be great if my cat could fly.

Do you think that if I promote my own for profit products on the shows of bigoted, right wing politicians I can expect that maybe my cat will sprout wings and fly as a result?
I just don't follow the logic. Why would you expect that he would change? Why is that part of this discussion at all?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. The mere fact he had her on his show indicates an openness.

There can be something to build on. People can change.

I went to a same sex wedding at Yamashiro Hollywood and the majority of guests were heterosexual. They were family members, fellow workers, and employers. They were so moved that a few remarked that they never saw such commitment at traditional weddings.


Sometimes I am strident about a lot of things but I rather build a bridge than blow one up or make a friend over making an enemy.

[LuvNewcastle]

16. I don't know what she's thinking.

It's her decision, but I think it's a bad idea. He has an ulterior motive for doing this, and it won't be good.
