TYT: 'Redneck News' Anchor On Impact Of Same-Sex Marriage On Alabama

[WhoIsNumberNone]

"An intrepid citizen journalist in Blount County, Alabama posted a video to Facebook on Wednesday reporting on the changes to his state after legalization of gay marriage.

With a handheld camera, "Redneck News" anchor Jeremy Todd Addaway walked viewers through his property to survey any possible damage after the state ended its ban on same-sex marriage.

"This pile of brush is still here, and there are no homosexuals layin' on top of it, doin' homosexual things," Addaway said."

2. In other words, it ain't the apocalypse

Life goes on as it was and gay marriage hurts no one. I think it's pretty funny.

5. To listen to the crazies one would think fissures were going to open up in the ground,...

...and bat winged demons were going to fly out and mess up everyone's backyard barbecue.

11. Them fissures will be opening up any day now. Just you wait.

You better have on a safety belt at all times.

4. The panel misses the reason the crazy types oppose gay marriage....

The reason the crazy ones oppose it is because they actually believe Jesus and his Dad will no longer bless the USA and if THAT happens then the Rapture will leave them behind.

10. They oppose it because they honestly believe homosexuality is a devil spawned communicable disease

Yes, they really are just that fucking stupid.

6. I'm waiting for a right wing moron to suggest to Mr. Addaway

I waiting for a right wing moron to suggest to Mr. Addaway that the reason Mr. Addaway can't find two homosexuals doing "homosexual things" is because today they're doing it in the privacy of a honeymoon suite.

Or would we be giving any right wing moron too much credit that he would have the capability of thinking of something so obvious?

Kudos to Mr. Addaway. He seems to be my kind of redneck.

7. Same-sex marriage has been legal in The Netherlands since 2001

Amazingly, the country hasn't broken off from continental Europe and sunk into the Atlantic Ocean. It's a complete non-issue here.

I'm not familiar with the gentleman featured in the video. I live in The Netherlands and only hear about US politics and politicians through our local news programs, CNN, Jon Stewart and (sob, sob) Stephen Colbert. And, of course, DU. But this chap didn't come across to me as being against same-sex marriage. Am I misreading his comments?

8. I think we just found Jon Stewart's replacement. n/t

9. Nope, Alabama is still the shithole it always was.
