The first was a legitimate point, the second is hilarious.

He really should have asked him about his nasty past. It's time that these hypocrites were dragged in public.

In my opinion that 1st guy should have been told, "What are you complaining about?  You should be thankful that you are not placed under arrest for being homosexual in public.  And yet you still complain like it is not enough that society has bent over backwards to accommodate your alternate lifestyle.  As recently as 2003 your lifestyle was illegal in many states.  Shut up and mind your business."

Still a better love story than Twilight.

Anyway, there's nothing surprising about this, but Rubio is clearly no moderate when it comes to social issues.

Yes, Rubio should have said this for sure.

In my opinion that 1st guy should have been told, "What are you complaining about?  You should be thankful that you are not placed under arrest for being homosexual in public.  And yet you still complain like it is not enough that society has bent over backwards to accommodate your alternate lifestyle.  As recently as 2003 your lifestyle was illegal in many states.  Shut up and mind your business."

This is not a Muslim country.  This America.  The land of the free and the home of the brave.  I don't like gay marriage either, but I would never advocate throwing them in prison.  They have every right to live how they want to live in this country without fear of being prosecuted because they love someone of the same sex.  If Rubio would have said this, he would have rightfully been roasted and I would have been throwing the logs on the fire.

Sounds like something a white politician from a southern state would say to blacks immediately after the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed.
It would go something like this :

In my opinion that 1st (black) guy should have been told, "What are you complaining about?  You should be thankful that you are not placed under arrest for being black in public. And yet you still complain like it is not enough that society has bent over backwards to accommodate your right to vote. As recently as 1950 many southern counties/states did everything possible to keep you (blacks) from having the right to vote. Consider yourself lucky now ... So just shut up and mind your business."

Bigotry comes in many forms.

Rubio handled it perfectly.  But someone who could be bluntly honest should have said it.  Trump could have said it and he would probably go up in the polls!

Agree. I think this way all the time. I hear people say "Muslims under attack in America!" and I'm thinking to myself...during WWII Japanese Americans got interred in a camp by a liberal President. That was only 70 years ago, not even a grain of sand in the hourglass of history.

But that was bad. It was bad that we interned Japanese Americans.

Stop shipping Rubio x Graham. Lindsey Graham is a beautiful man looking for love. Marco Rubio is a prostitute who gives tons of freebies to every gay he has ever come into contact with. Perry x Graham has more romance than anything Rubio has ever done.

Correct. So wouldn't treating them right be the good thing to do?

Yes. All of Perry's known relationships seem to have been inside the state of Texas; Graham is just a fan fiction, but they deserve each other.

Indeed. It would be a nice change to see a Republican being honest about the vile nonsense he and his party supports. Of course it won't happen, because Republicans have enough cunning to realize that taking such an massively unpopular (not to mention hypocritical and evil) position would doom their chances of actually being elected.

It's always nice to see "conservatives" express their love for big government.

There's very little historical evidence to suggest that conservatism is in any way inherently tied to small government (and vice versa with liberalism and big government).

My point is that the argument that an atrocity like that somehow excuses every less-extreme policy is absurd. Is the new golden standard for civil rights in America now "as long as we don't treat you as bad as the Japanese you should shut your mouth?" Should Japanese Americans have stopped complaining during WWII since, after all, at least we weren't giving them smallpox blankets?
