"Huckabee on The Daily Show, 12-9-08."
From the second half of Mike Huckabee’s interview with Jon Stewart:
Some choice quotes:
Stewart: “You know, segregation used to be the law until the courts intervened.”
Huckabee: “There’s a big difference between a person being black, and a person practicing a lifestyle”
Stewart: “…religion is far more of a choice than homosexuality, and people that choose, and the protections that we have for religion? We protect religion—and talk about a lifestyle choice, that is absolutely a choice—gay people don’t choose to be gay. At what age did you choose not to be gay?
Stewart: “I think it’s an absolute, it’s a travesty that people have forced someone who is gay to have to make their case, that they deserve the same basic rights as someone else.”
Huckabee: “One of the things that I want to make sure that people understand, that if a person does not necessarily support the idea of changing the definition of marriage, it does not mean that they’re a homophobe, it does not mean that they’re filled with hate and animosity and anger.”
