O’Reilly: Same sex marriage could lead to goat, dolphin, turtle marriages

[LynneSin]

What part of "CONSENTING ADULTS" does that falafel idiot NOT understand. And to be honest I'd rather marry a goat, duck, dolphin or turtle then Bill O'Reilly or any other idiot out there who thinks like him. Geez, you're the guy who wanted to use bathing equipment and tasty greek treats as sex toys!

O’Reilly: Same sex marriage could lead to goat, dolphin, turtle marriages


You’d think Bill O’Reilly had a fetish for interspecies marriage.

Speaking on Fox News Channel Monday, O’Reilly declared that same sex marriage could lead to individuals marrying — a turtle.

You “would let everybody get married who want to get married,” the pundit remarked. “You want to marry a turtle, you can.”

O’Reilly has previously suggested that gay marriage could ultimately allow for a person to marry a goat, duck, or dolphin.

In 2005, while discussing two male Massachusetts inmates’ request to prison officials to allow them to marry, O’Reilly quipped: “So this is just the beginning, ladies and gentlemen, of this crazy gay marriage insanity — is gonna lead to all kinds of things like this. Courts are gonna be clogged. Every nut in the world is gonna — somebody’s gonna come in and say, ‘I wanna marry the goat.’ You’ll see it; I guarantee you’ll see it.”

And in 2006, he likened same sex marriage to a circumstance in which a woman “married” a dolphin.

“One of the arguments against gay marriage, that we just spoke about, is that if it becomes law, all other alternative marital visions will be allowed,” O’Reilly said. “We’ve already seen a Dutchman marry two ladies in the Netherlands. Looks like a happy guy. And now comes word that a British woman has married a dolphin in Israel. Forty-one-year-old Sharon Tendler has tied the knot with a 35-year-old mammal, so age is no problem there. But there might be other issues, which would be, of course, ridiculous to get into, and there is one more thing. The dolphin is a female, Cindy, so you got that going on.”

BTW, the people who wanted to marry animals - it wasn't because gays could marry - IT'S BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS AND A BIT ADDLED IN THE BRAIN - just like you are O'Reilly.

1. Seriously, this bigots spend way more time thinking about bestiality than anyone else

[Journeyman]

2. O'Reilly couldn't get informed consent from a turtle, goat or dolphin. . .

so he'll have to figure another angle other than impending gay marriage to indulge his desire for bestiality.

[gratuitous]

3. I wonder what his therapist thinks of his preoccupation?

These wild leaps and ridiculous conclusions don't even deserve a response. File it under the addled gibberings of an insane person who, for some reason, is lavished with an outsize salary by Rupert Murdoch. Which naturally calls into question Mr. Murdoch's mental health. Can Murdoch's citizenship be revoked if he's crazy?

6. It's such an idiotic argument

Civil Marriage is a Civil Right.

If you have some whacko religion that says you can marry your dog...guess what....you can marry your dog....today...

It won't be 'legal' of course, in that it won't be recognized as a civil marriage by teh state because your dog has no legal standing to sign a contract, which is what marriage is.

Preventing "Gay Marriage" is preventing two consenting adults from entering into a contract for religious reasons that may or may not be shared by those same adults. It's a religious law. a breech of the separation of church and state.

Saying that Gay Marriage could lead to Turtle Marriage, at least as a legal agreement, is utterly absurd. Come talk to me when Turtles have legal rights to sign contracts. It's such an insulting argument. It basically says that a gay person has as much right to marry the person they love and want to spend the rest of their life with, as a dog, because THEIR religion says it's wrong.

7. "let" and "allow" and all those other controlling ideas

Bill I wouldn't let you decide who I get to marry, and my law is bigger, badder and meaner than your law. Ding your superpower is stupidity, but you're not in season 4.

So you've GONE TOO FAR and you SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED to have a choice in anyone's choices but your own. On the topic of goats, define human? Is it the arrangement of chromosomes? In that case approximateley 3 - 5 percent of humans that look like you and I do not fit into a clearly male or female genetic definition. Perhaps we should make sure your chromosomes "ALLOW" you to BE married?

I say we start with testing Bill. X X Y D I C K H E A D; I guess the other alleles code for bullshit.

8. Well, to be fair, it *could* lead to all those things.

But, it *could* also lead to a cure for baldness, the discovery of cold fusion, and humans growing wings and attaining the power of flight. All those things *could* happen as a result of gay marriage, but none are terribly likely.

9. Sorry, Bill-O, Sharyn McCrumb's way ahead of you

http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/nationalcurriculum/units/2007/2/07.02.07.x.html

At this point, I would like to turn my attention to the odd novel out on my list, If I'd Killed him when I'd Met Him, to which Soitos's tropes do not obviously apply, although it might be interesting to have students determine if this is actually the case and write an essay providing evidence to support their conclusion. In any case, although women, like African-Americans and Native Americans, belong to an oppressed sub-culture of the white male dominated American mainstream, it is my opinion that Sharyn McCrumb's novel is written in the feminist rather than the "blues" tradition....

In addition to A.P. Hill's overt feminism and the fact that a woman, Doctor Elizabeth MacPherson, solves the novel's two main mysteries, the firm's array of female clients also helps make this a distinctly feminist novel. The clients and the female leads represent the range of women's options in life from the career-oriented, happily unmarried A.P. Hill, to the competent, well-educated Elizabeth who is nonetheless emotionally bound to her lost love, to the feisty, unapologetic murderess Eleanor Royden who kills her ex-husband because he has treated her mercilessly in the course of their divorce, to the absolutely devoted Donna Jean Morgan who grudgingly puts up with her husband's bigamy out of love and a sense of duty. Thrown into the mix is Bill and Elizabeth's mother, recently divorced herself, who takes a woman roommate whom she introduces as her lesbian partner. Finally, in one the novel's most comical subplots, there is the bizarre case of the woman who sincerely seeks the law-firm's assistance in legalizing her upcoming marriage to a dolphin. It seems evident that McCrumb is trying to show the reader that women are as complex and varied in interests and personalities as men.

13. Bigots like him used the same argument about interracial marriage

Irrational people tend to use irrational arguments. What's new?

Just as soon as goats, dolphins, and turtles can sign legal documents.
