David Letterman Shreds Mike Pence Over His Home State’s Discrimination Of Gays And Lesbians
It’s almost become sad to watch all the abuse heaped at walking punchline Indiana Gov. Mike Pence over his “religious freedom” bill. OK, not really. It’s still a lot of fun to witness and the scorn is well-deserved. Last night comedy icon David Letterman, an Indiana native, got in on the mockery. The veteran funnyman addressed his Late Show audience and blasted Pence for his archaic viewpoint. Letterman told the studio crowd and television viewers that the state Pence governs isn’t the Indiana he grew up in.
“I lived there for 27 years. Folks were folks and that’s all there was to it,” Letterman states with visible irritation and lists ways straights and gays are exactly alike. “Now this guy throws a monkey wrench into the works.”
Watch Letterman blast Pence with a Top 10 list below.

Bryan Fischer: Making Christians Serve Gays is a Form of Slavery Outlawed by 13th Amendment – VIDEO
Bryan Fischer came up with a good one on his show today, arguing that Governor Mike Pence, if he gives in to ‘Big Gay’ on the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, will be compelling Christian bakers, photographers, and the like to provide services against their will, which is a form of slavery, Right Wing Watch reports.
Said Fischer:
“I’m afraid Governor Pence is dangerously close to allowing the homosexual lobby to get the state of Indiana to compel people to provide labor against their will. What do we call it when people are compelled to provide labor against their will? Involuntary labor, what do we call that, ladies and gentlemen? That is involuntary servitude, that is slavery, that is something that is forbidden by the Thirteenth Amendment”
