Dan Savage v. Tony Perkins

To get a good feel for what is at stake in the post-Prop 8 fight, this is worth watching:



I wouldn't say that Savage skewers Perkins, a clearly skilled debater. But Perkins has a hard time not looking like the bad guy here. (Warning, 9 minutes long, but worth it.)

  1. I dont' know I thought Savage was the less cool of the two and his analogy of the VA marriages was irrelevant IMO. Savage could have come off better and Perkins needs a new haircut and suit BTW.

  2. Savage had a hard time keeping his cool because Perkins was bending the truth on him and dismissing the obvious analogies with interracial marriage as "a red herring". I would as well, which is why I think Savage could have done better. Still, Perkins did himself no favors with remarks like that, at least in my eyes, but then again, I am quite biased, so I'll shut up.
