‘What a puke': Conservatives furious after Fox News’ Shep Smith mocks Kim Davis’ hypocrisy

Conservatives are up in arms over comments by Fox News host Shepard Smith, who called out Christian hypocrisy during the broadcast of Kentucky clerk Kim Davis’ release from jail Tuesday.

Davis was jailed last week after a judge held her in contempt of court for refusing to issue marriage licenses as Rowan County clerk in compliance with the Supreme Court’s decision legalizing same-sex marriage in all U.S. states. She was released Tuesday, and during the live broadcast featuring prayer and GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, Smith broke in with commentary.

“They set this up as a religious play again,” he said. “This is the same crowd that says, ‘We don’t want Sharia law, don’t let them tell us what to do, keep their religion out of our lives and out of our government,’” Smith said, according to Mediaite.

He added that the Supreme Court has ruled that you can’t let one group of people do something that another group isn’t allowed to do. “This is not unprecedented. They did it when they said black and white people couldn’t marry,” he said, concluding that “haters are gonna hate.”

1. Ooh, Sharia law analogy. Nicely done, Shep.

2. maybe i need a history lesson!

I know that the government tried forbidding interracial marriage for the longest time, but did they do it using religion as it's reasoning?

can anyone elaborate?

4. It was religious, I remember the Baptists preaching about it when I was a kid.

[retrowire]

6. eww really?

got a source? this is interesting stuff.

[LiberalArkie]

7. I really don't remember the passages that allowed it, but the same thing that allowed all

the segregation. That the blacks were not human? the children of Satan? something along those lines. I am sure someone will come along with better memory than me. Come to think of it, it might be that they believed that blacks came from monkeys and whites from God.

9. Anytime people find something that disgusts them they will dig a bible verse up to justify it

I figured that much out about people's hatred towards homosexuality. The concept of what men could do to each other kinda grosses people out so they use the bible to wrap their heads around it. Of course straight couples do that too but you know nevermind that. It really is about the sex and people's obsession about it.

I figured what goes on in the bedroom is NONE OF MY DAMN BUSINESS!! It's all about love. When two people love each other and want a lifetime commitment that is the most amazing thing and who are we to deny them their rights?

8. "The God of nature made it otherwise..."< le google

"...moral or social equality between the different races...does not in fact exist, and never can. The God of nature made it otherwise, and no human law can produce it, and no human tribunal can enforce it. There are gradations and classes throughout the universe. From the tallest archangel in Heaven, down to the meanest reptile on earth, moral and social inequalities exist, and must continue to exist throughout all eternity." 5

14. wow...

I'm glad that I denounced traditional Christianity.

[jtuck004]

16. Yeah. I try to be aware of where superstition of any kind creeps into my thinking, usually avoid n/t

15. The Loving v Virginia decision is probably online

And probably spells out the history. The wiki site has a religious quote cited as a rationale for the laws that were overturned.

3. I wish some real news program would rescue Shep from the hell of FOX. He obviously

feels uncomfortable there, and his inherent decency cannot always be masked. He keeps letting it slip out when he is too appalled by RW ugliness, like when he witnessed the callous response to the suffering after Katrina.

10. Whyever does he stay there?

I never watch Fox anything, but comments about and from him indicate that he has principles.

[tblue37]

11. It's a job, well paid, with high visibility. Maybe he hopes he can make a difference from inside

the belly of the beast.

19. The "news media" can be notoriously fickle

I agree with you, he's getting a Fox paycheck, he's got tenure, why run the risk of tanking on MSNBC or elsewhere? I have to say that since he went ballistic in the wake of Katrina, he's been pretty consistent. He is not a run-of-the-mill Fox talking head.

[maryellen99]

5. I agree with him on that point about interracial marriage

I'm not shocked that the anti same sex marriage people are also against interracial marriage as well.

12. shep is the one reason

i sometimes put on fox noise. he deserves better than that pathetic excuse for a network. but to where? m$nbc has gone corporate gop with worse ratings, and cnn,.....ugh

don't know where he would go

[NewJeffCT]

13. They had some legal analysts on Fox last week as well

and, their conclusion was that Kim Davis was basically screwed and had no legs to stand on. Given that Fox usually prescreens their analysts, they were most likely two conservative legal scholars, and a moderate playing the role of the liberal. If you've lost that crowd, you know it's bad.

Wish I had the link, but I'm sure it was posted here on DU.

17. If there is an outlier at Fox on occasion, it always seems to be Shep.

[d_legendary1]

18. That's cuz he's got more than one brain cell

that functions correctly. He's still a sell out but he knows when the toilet get clogged and why.
