FRC's Tony Perkins claims gay people are 'rioting' over Prop 8

Tony Perkins claims on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 that gay people are "rioting" over Proposition 8's narrow success at the California polls:

Perkins: The people have played by the rules. Why will not the homosexual activists quit rioting, quit, you know, attacking Mormons, and using religious bigotry. And if they want to change the laws, get the consent of the people.

Anderson Cooper: Where have the riots been, Tony? Where have the riots been?

Perkins: Well, they've spray-painted churches in California, they've been jumping on police cars.

Lisa Bloom of In Session proceeds to give Perkins hell. You can see from the videotape that these are peaceful demonstrations.

Perkins also has a peculiar definition of "playing by the rules," considering that, as Bloom just pointed out, the rules for amending the California Constitution were clearly not followed with this vote.

1. "religious bigotry"?!?!? RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY is what the MORMONS are DOING, not the GBLT!!!

Calling out a BIGOT is not "bigotry" you fucking religious BIGOTS!!!

Calling out one groups HATE is not "hate"!!!

fucking RELIGIOUS BIGOTED ASSHOLE MORMONS!!!

2. Sounds like someone I know: "Well no one is stopping them from doing what they want..."

..."but they don't NEED to get married!"

:wtf:

Hell, HETEROSEXUALS don't NEED to get married either. No one does, for that matter.

3. the "rules" used to allow slavery. so if those rules return PErkins is ok with that? nt

4. it's always the same with these people

they accuse of what they do -- PROJECTION.

Accuse Obama of playing the race card, etc.

So ridiculous. The footage is playing in the BG, loser -- we can all see what is going on, and where is your argument for prop 8? Nothing he says makes any sense. He hasn't made a legit argument. What a total moran.

5. That woman did very well.

You'd think it would be easy to, given that her position is the one with moral righteousness and common sense on its side, but it isn't always easy to argue against zealots like that cockknocker Perkins. (I like it, by the way, that he has the same name as a very famous gay actor.) Anyway, I was hoping that someone would say "That doesn't look like a riot to me," and then she did. So good work, and keep it up!

6. It's been redefined many times

Wonderful parting shot from her.
