CPAC Speaker: States Have Never Banned Gay Marriage, 'That's A Liberal Lie!'

As maddening as some of the batshitery at CPAC may be, the gathering does fulfill one purpose: it allows the far right to document to the world how insane they really are and utterly out of touch with objective reality the fantasy world they live in has come to be.  A case in point? Michael Medved who told a panel that no state has ever banned same sex marriage and that claims to the contrary are a "liberal lie."  Apparently, Medved has never bothered to read Virginia's Marshall-Newman Amendment which quite explicitly not only bans same sex marriage but any legal recognition of same sex relationships whatsoever.  The man is either a total  lunatic or a complete liar (or perhaps both).  The "godly folks never let the truth get in the way of their hate filled agenda.  Once again, Right Wing Watch has details:

Right-wing talk show host Michael Medved told a CPAC panel sponsored by Focus on the Family today that same-sex marriage has never been banned. While debating the issue of marriage equality with Alexander McCobin of Students for Liberty, Medved claimed, “There’s never been a state in this country that has ever banned gay marriage, that’s a liberal lie.”

Medved seemed to be citing the Religious Right talking point that marriage bans aren’t discriminatory since a gay person could marry someone of the opposite sex, which is the same arguments once made by opponents of the legalization of interracial marriage.

Yes, you read that correctly - it's the same defense used to defend bans on interracial marriage.  These people never change and are, if anything, increasingly toxic.
