    I will appear on MSNBC's All In With Chris Hayes to discuss the 2016 GOP presidential field's sputtering reaction to Obergefell v. Hodges.

    I'm probably watching a re-run of Kennedy at that hour, Matt. Anything has to be better than subjecting my eyes to Hayes' smug, owlish, lefty-goblin face.

  2. AlmightyJB   10 years ago

    Finally. Something about gay marriage.

  3. Winston   10 years ago

    Desperate for an MSNBC gig aren't you Welch? You won't have to worry about being subpoenaed. Should change your name to Wilhelm Kulz.

    1. GILMORE, LVL20 Blowhard   10 years ago

      Is there some reason you don't hang around LewRockwell.com?

      1. Episiarch   10 years ago

        Maybe they have less tolerance for passive aggressive whiny mewling cunts there.

        1. GILMORE, LVL20 Blowhard   10 years ago

          No, I just checked. They don't seem to have comments at all.

          1. Episiarch   10 years ago

            That doesn't make my speculation any less correct.

      2. Winston   10 years ago

        Lew Rockwell should change his name to Marcel D?at.

        1. GILMORE, LVL20 Blowhard   10 years ago

          I also like Mimes.

  4. AlgerHiss   10 years ago

    Matt?.Kennedy?.poly and consenting-adult-incest marriage and all combos of such?.bring it up and ask: If Not, Why Not?

    Say it loud and say it often.

    C'mon, "lgbt" crowd, tell us why not. Or are you all of a sudden Falwell/Robertson supporters? Is there a new "Rainbow Moral Majority" in town?

    1. GILMORE, LVL20 Blowhard   10 years ago

      I encourage you to marry as many goats as you desire.

    2. Tony   10 years ago

      First you should explain why gays should be excluded.

      Why should we have to accept the inherently bigoted formulation that it's straights on one side, gays, polygamists, and incesters on the other?

      1. AlgerHiss   10 years ago

        I've said nothing about excluding "lgbt".

        If we're going to have freedom, we're going to have freedom for everyone, right?

        Right?

        1. Trevor St McGoodbody   10 years ago

          Right. This isn't controversial among libertarians. If you're looking for some sort of marriage hypocrisy, talk to a Progressive.

        2. Migrant Log Chipper   10 years ago

          Not in Tonyworld....

      2. ant1sthenes   10 years ago

        Huh. I sort of imagined that when two derps with opposite signs interact, it would result in some sort of high energy explosion. Welp, there goes my unified theory work.

    3. Suthenboy   10 years ago

      Consenting adults can associate in any way that they choose. It is called freedom. Who is choosing to fuck who is none of our goddamn business.

      How long do we have to listen to the butt-hurt over this? I am really sick of hearing about it.

      1. Trouser-Pod (The blowhard)   10 years ago

        I think it'll be as long as any group of people continue to conflate government with society.

        So, probably for a while, unfortunately.

  5. Woodchipper Terminator T-1001   10 years ago

    I hope Matt becomes enraged at that smug little punk and beats him so bad that Hayes begs like a wino with the shakes for mercy. now THAT would be some quality television.

    1. OldMexican   10 years ago

      it's a good think Hayes is not a high government official, otherwise you would have to change your nick to Punk Beater Terminator T-1001

    2. Suthenboy   10 years ago

      I think I am going to buy one of these:

      http://www.cafepress.com/+wood-chipper+t-shirts

      Center-Second row is a good one. Of course I couldn't keep that one for myself, I would have to send it as a gift.

      1. GILMORE, LVL20 Blowhard   10 years ago

        Center? there's 4 in a row man!!

        I like the first one

        1. Suthenboy   10 years ago

          Three on my screen.

          Number 5 then counting left to right.

        2. Suthenboy   10 years ago

          And yes, the first one is perfect.

      2. AlmightyJB   10 years ago

        I love that it's a kids shirt. That's fucking awesome.

      3. AlmightyJB   10 years ago

        I love that it's a kids shirt. That's fucking awesome.

  6. GILMORE, LVL20 Blowhard   10 years ago

    Prediction = Pink Shirt

    i believe the reasons should be obvious

    1. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

      Dark suit, white striped shirt, light blue tie.

      1. GILMORE, LVL20 Blowhard   10 years ago

        I refused to accept this and so i twisted the tint knob on my TV until it was pink.

        Ok, I confess, i don't have a tint knob. and i didn't watch it.

  7. Wizard with a Woodchipper   10 years ago

    low hanging fruit, Matt, low hanging fruit.

    1. SusanM   10 years ago

      That's why you should never wear boxers...

      1. Wizard with a Woodchipper   10 years ago

        +1 comfyballs

        1. SusanM   10 years ago

          Shouldn't that be +2?

          1. Wizard with a Woodchipper   10 years ago

            +1 PAIR of comfyballs.

      2. Migrant Log Chipper   10 years ago

        Waddya mean, Susan, boxers keep those spermy things cool and more potent. That's good, amirite?

  8. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    Prediction: Violet shirt

  9. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    Black men can be gay, too?

    1. AlmightyJB   10 years ago

      pfft

    2. Woodchipper Terminator T-1001   10 years ago

      Black men can wear color combinations that would brand a white man gay forever, without the slightest concern for being viewed as gay.

  10. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    The sound is down but it seems like quite a discussion they're having.

  11. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    And Welch is ushered in on the coattails of the Donald's pontifications.

  12. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    You're wrong. Obamacare will never be popular. Expensive bureaucracy is never popular.

    1. AlmightyJB   10 years ago

      I will be popular among the future generations that never experienced good healthcare because they're not going to know any better and they are going to be contently brainwashed about how bad it was before Obamacare. Women and orphans dying in the streets and whatnot.

    2. GILMORE, LVL20 Blowhard   10 years ago

      "'Expensive bureaucracy is never popular.""

      HANDS OFF MY MEDICARE

      1. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

        Old people don't count.

  13. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    I guess Welch got the "if they're going to be in this business" statement in there.

  14. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    Yeah, Matt Welch knows a ton of heartland social conservatives.

  15. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    Oh, thank God. I don't have to watch any more.

  16. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    DON'T LET THE DOOR KNOB HIT YOU ON THE ASS, MATT WELCH.

  17. Wizard with a Woodchipper   10 years ago

    Wow, Wtf! What a truly over the top ad for Rand Paul.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7qy-4CBBZo

  18. Notorious G.K.C.   10 years ago

    Let me guess...Welch said that if the government is going to be "in the marriage business," it may as well give the Good Houskeeping Seal of Approval to Patty and Marcie's houseeeping arrangements, and the Republicans should tell the SoCons to pound sand. But he'll drop in a to-be-sure about freedom of association/religious freedom.

    1. The Hyperbole   10 years ago

      sounds about right. What's the problem?

    2. GILMORE, LVL20 Blowhard   10 years ago

      You missed it. He didn't say a word, and just hit Chris Hayes in the face with his chair.

      1. GILMORE, LVL20 Blowhard   10 years ago

        Oh, sorry, I was dreaming again.

      2. Woodchipper Terminator T-1001   10 years ago

        I would pay to see that actually happen. Especially if there was an extended clue up of that little weasel sobbing on the floor afterward.

  19. adolphowisner   10 years ago

    Just as Lucille said I didnt know that anyone able to get paid $7158 in four weeks on the computer .You can look here????????????? http://www.workweb40.com
