We’ve received no fewer than a dozen emails — okay, we just went and counted, we got 14 — with links to this Fox News op-ed from Margaret Hoover, the political analyst and great-granddaugher of President Herbert Hoover. The piece is remarkable, our emailers tell us, because it’s a FNC personality coming out for the M-word. Which is great and stuff, but also: The pro-marriage side of Perry is being argued by Ted Fucking Olson, the uber-conservative, and so some FNC byline isn’t all that impressive anymore. Particularly when she misspells Olson’s surname.
And meanwhile, this is the same woman who doesn’t want school children, even in high school, learning what “gay” means.
(But still: Good to have you on board, White House royalty.)

Queerty is taking someone to task for a misspelling? Really?

“scuse me, I kinda think Ted Olson is somewhat kinda sorta working towards sumtin’ we kinda want………why the “Fuckin” squeezed between the “d” and the “O” ?????????
>>>> And I’m glad that Faux News has Margaret Hoover on our side in the Gay marriage debacle, however her other views towards the Gays SUCK, and she should BAG Them! ……… : P

So…someone whom we would expect to be strongly opposed to marriage equality writes an op-ed in favor of it, and you’re slamming her because she doesn’t have the same perceived stature as another ally? Who’d care to bet that more Americans know who Margaret Hoover is than Ted Olson?
And yeah, Queerty mocking a spelling error is ridiculous.

It is so Ordered.

@Brian NJ: Denied! Queerty is a spelling and grammatical mess. If spelling and grammar is so atrocious as to make a post incomprehensible then the “editors” need to be called on it.

Some Conservatives are NOT “religious.” Very good news.

Regardless of whether not she still has some questionable views in regards to GLBT issues, that hse is so publically and ELOQUENTLY saying this is great 🙂
It’s great to see some people from Fox have half a brain

Refreshing reminder that not all Rep.s march in lockstep with the fundies on all social issues. She’s in a better position to open up the discussion with FNC fans than anyone who’d be seen drinking from the “Gays-only” water fountain at the gym!

Notice that this happened after a week of testimony in the Perry v. Schwarzenegger case, during which we had a financial expert who testified that gay marriage would be profitable. Hence, marriage equality really is a conservative “value”. It will increase the bottom line.
A dam doesn’t break all at once. First there is a drop, then a trickle. After a while, there is a small but steady flow. Then, after a while longer, the entire thing collapses.
