I wonder if Pat Buchanan thinks that Ronald Reagan had a secret gay agenda? Buchanan along with other conservatives are blaming their loss on California's Proposition 8 on Judge Vaughn Walker's homosexuality.

Pat Buchanan: It is unnatural….an older white guy handed down the decision and he happened to be gay. That might have had something to do with it.

Ironically, Walker was nominated to the bench by President Ronald Reagan and re-nominated and confirmed under President George H. W. Bush. Two dozen House Democrats, led by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) “opposed his nomination because of his alleged ‘insensitivity’ to gays and the poor.” The Democrats objected to Walker’s role in representing the U.S. Olympic Committee “in its successful effort to prevent an athletic competition in San Francisco from being called the Gay Olympic Games” and for “putting a lien on the home of a gay-games leader who was dying of AIDS.”

I guess Pat thinks only crusty old straight white guys are qualified to decide whether gay people can get married. MSNBC needs to show this relic the door.

1. He's the the only conservative saying that

They all are at least implying it.

[spanone]

2. and pat rejects the judges ruling cause he's a homophobe

[HillbillyBob]

4. He sounds more of a sissy than the last drag queen I met.

Im sick of his whining, when she comes on any show on msnbc i mute or more likely change the channel.

[FiveGoodMen]

3. The constitution is what it is, Pat

No matter who points that out.

[metapunditedgy]

5. I expect the argument will be that Walker had more to gain from the outcome

than a straight person would. (If Walker is even gay himself; don't really trust the reporting of this.)

I think Walker's ruling was excellent and I hope it will stand, but I'm not a lawyer and I wonder what the implications could be going forward.

6. Sure thing, Pat

What, did he sign the opinion with a pink pen or something? Buchanan can't quibble with the legal argument, so he goes for the ad hominem attack (or should that be "ad homonem"?). I think it's just kind of sad that MSNBC sees fit to put such a brainless moron on its channel to drool, gibber and poop himself for the entertainment of its audience.

7. Gee so the judge that denied the stop drilling order the Obama

administration ordered because he had thousands in oil stock has an activist judge who only denied the ban because he was making money off oil.

And do you think the reason the five Supreme activist republican judges gave corporations "person" status was because corporations were shoveling money in their pockets. Gee I suppose so. Else why would them make sure a ruling. A ruling which they really had no authority to do because it really was a law. AND congress is the only one capable of that. What did the POS Buchannan say about those two rulings. Bet he was silent.

8. Think Rachel can get "Uncle Pat" to appear on her show for a debate?

:evilgrin:

[damntexdem]

9. So any appeals judge who votes to overturn Walker will do so ...

because s/he is straight?

[abelenkpe]

10. Says who?

And why would it matter?

[MrScorpio]

11. Buchanan is saying this because he's NOT gay

Let's see how this works when the tables are turned.

12. no reasonable argument, turn to fallacy.

<i>Ad hominem circumstantial points out that someone is in circumstances such that he is disposed to take a particular position. Ad hominem circumstantial constitutes an attack on the bias of a source. This is fallacious because a disposition to make a certain argument does not make the argument false; this overlaps with the genetic fallacy (an argument that a claim is incorrect due to its source).</i>
