I'm not going to defend Huck, but the article twists his words into something he didn't actually say.

Ok, you have started defending him so go all the way.  What do you think he said?

I think he was talking about non-two parent families.

Yeah I won't defend him except for the part where I will...

I don't get this attitude that pointing out a misunderstanding or mischaracterization is somehow taking sides.

If someone were to claim that Huckabee says he's in favor of gassing all homos, and I point out he did in fact not say that, am I "defending Huckabee?"

Huckabee is reprehensible enough that I don't see the distinction mattering in this case.

Sounds pretty stupid to say society holds two parent families in contempt though.

Quote"We diminish and even hold in contempt the natural family of a father and mother creating and then responsibly raising the next generation and then express dismay that kids feel no real connection to their families or even the concept of a family."

I am sure somebody does this.  Radical crazy lefties of certain flavors do, but 'we' do this as a society?

Very Huffington Post/Michael Moorish of you.

If having an issue with Huck's statement is something only Huff Post or Michael Moore would do they are clearly more reasonable than I thought.

Your premise is flawed.

I wouldn't sweat it too much.  Huck shot his mouth off a bit, true, but the article is from a gay blog, and thus not reputable.  It might as well have been written in one of Ron Paul's goldbug newsletters.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

:rolleyes:

I think he's just saying the absence of religious morality leaves a vacuum in which massacres like this are more likely to happen.  I don't happen to agree with that (as much as I'm sure you'd love me to) but I don't think that is the same as blaming gay people for Sandy Hook.  The author of Marti's mystery article apparently thinks everything's always about him and should probably get over himself.
