Obligatory — Krystal Ball uses daughter as prop
Alternative headline — Krystal Ball daughter forgets lines forcing mother to cross-examine her on TV
This is one of the more bizarre episodes ever seen on a network show.
Notice that the little girl, Krystal Ball’s daughter, initially talks about a husband and wife, and then again talks about being in love with “him” until pushed by her mother to talk about marrying a girl.
Regardless of your position on gay marriage, it’s very disturbing to see a child used this way on television — but then again, it’s Krystal Ball and MSNBC, so almost nothing is surprising.
MSNBC must be so proud. #childprops politico.com/blogs/media/20…

From the archives, remember Krystal Ball was one of the people behind the push to get Rush Limbaugh kicked off radio, What did Krystal Ball know, and when did she know it?:
MSNBC commentator Krystal Ball was involved from the start in the StopRush movement, interacting with Angelo Carusone of Media Matters and a Twitter user going by the pseudonym “@Shoq” to form the working group to coordinate Twitter and online contacts with Limbaugh advertisers. I detailed all this in my post on March 21, 2012, Independent Rush boycott group coordinated with Media Matters.

Krystal Ball? Who the hell gives their kid a stripper name? That’s as bad as Porsche Lexus Ferrari.
Imagine the noise we’d here if she were a conservative.
“hear”
I went to college with someone named Shanda Lear.
DH once got a business card from “Ursa Major.”
That impeccable source, Wikipedia, claims that her first name was chosen by her father, a PhD in physics who did work with crystals; yeah, right,sure. Fake name, fake integrity.
I think now of the days when I was young and growing up in the 50’s and 60’s … the shows that were on television. My God, how far we’ve fallen into a moral morass. Nobody would have dared ask any kid back then if they wanted to marry a same sex person. This is pure depravity.
Professor, Please don’t use the tag line “Gay Marriage” any more. We shouldn’t even concede the term.
Same Sex Union or Civil Union is fine. I for one am tired of talking about square circles. For Krystal Ball to prostitute her daughter for a political agenda is sad. I would pity her, except that we are in a culture war that will, like Patrick Swayze says in Road House, “Get worse before it gets better.”
I totally agree.
So even this young child knows marriage is between a man and a woman. How much indoctrination do you think she has suffered and still doesn’t get it “right?”
Has anyone else noticed that the word “partner” is slipping into our lexicon to replace husband and wife? Whenever I hear someone refer to their spouse as their partner I always wonder if they mean business partner, partner in crime, partner in the “firm?” Why can’t we refer to husbands and wives?
For the same reason we refer to two women as “mommies” or two men as “daddies”. It’s an effort to manipulate perception through language distortions which have optimal emotional appeal.
My husband and I own two businesses together. He’s not my “partner”.
What would have happened if the interview went a little longer:
“Do you think George Bush is a bad man or a good man? You don’t
think he’s a good man, do you? No. That’s right, he’s a very bad man.”
Krystal Ball wants to send George Bush to the cornfield?
“Remember, Honey, if you ever want to see your puppy again …”
So far she has not put a dildo on the kid’s nose & a leash around her neck.
Maybe next week.
Could you give a gal a warning before unleashing a line like that? I’m wiping diet coke off my screen as we speak.
Next week she teaches her daughter how to put condoms on produce.
So, homosexual behavior is a product of indoctrination at a time when a human being is least capable of appreciating its consequences. This is child abuse, isn’t it?
What part of sexual reproduction do people fail to understand?
I think Ball’s simian ancestors are rolling over in their graves. Her simian cousins, however, are laughing all the way to the future.
Forward to dysfunctional convergence!
So, tolerance is out and normalization of a behavior which has no redeeming value to either society or humanity is in.
In that case, why do they arbitrarily discriminate against other unions based on sexual or platonic behavior, of diverse forms and kinds, with democratic numbers and combinations?
Also, what is with the arbitrary discrimination against men and women at different ages and stages of development? Surely murder committed for the convenience of the mother and/or father cannot be justified when an innocent human life is incapable of voicing its protest and Arms to prevent is premature termination. In the interest of equal protection, we must ban the violent and capricious act of abortion.
Equal protection for everyone! Not just for men and women who engage in select dysfunctional behaviors and premeditated acts of murder.
Let them keep pushing the envelope. Eventually there’s no room left.
They already pushed the issue in California and lost. This forced them to stage a judicial review, which would override a democratic consensus.
Since Ball forced a conversion of her daughter, it may have the opposite effect to what she intended. It should renew interest in the debate to distinguish between nature and nurture’s influence in normal human development. Instead of tolerance, her good-intentions may motivate rejection of homosexual behavior, as well as invite scrutiny of public efforts to manipulate people’s understanding of natural processes and phenomenon. She may yet regret her decision to expose a fringe cult.
Yet, just last week, a man bought his pre-teen son a hunting rifle and the kid posted a photo of himself with it on Facebook. There was nothing provocative or dangerous shown in the photo; it was just a kid posing with a firearm, legally bought and used under adult supervision. Next, the Nuh Joisey Child Protective Services was beating on the door.
Can we get anymore inverted than that?
1. A year has nearly passed since I posted this:
Last August, ditto.
2. Re the Ball clip:
Whoever causes one of these little ones to stray…
I’m an agnostic libertarian, but enough is enough.
Is this news or entertainment or mere torture? This woman Krystal conveys so many screwed up messages that play with my brain and the child’s brain. Mothers are role models for their daughters whether they like it or not. So Krystal is a real mother but would rather be living with a woman? (note encouragement) because living with a man created a child and so she rather subtly suggests a union that does not beget a child – which can mean – I don’t really want you little girl. Keep at it Krystal and you’ll have passed your anger on to an innocent.
How dreadful.
Krystal Balls (or Ball? Or whatever)is guilty of EXACTLY of the type of abuse leftists accused Christian fundamentalists of committing against children.
You’ll see: one day we’ll read about Kracked Krystal’s daughter cutting her throat in a fit of rage. It’ll make for a great tv movie.
This clip should be saved for the mom to view later when her daughter eventually comes home crying to mama. This will be after the daughter, a lesbian due to constant prompting from her mother and society and the denigration of natural marriage to a meaningless function of the state, is left behind by another of several lovers. And, after the lesbian daughter has seen multiple overstuffed lesbian therapists and psychologists because of her constant depression due to her highly encouraged and developed narcissistic bent.
When the daughter’s U-Haul is in her mom’s driveway then it will be the time for mom (now much older and without grandchildren) to watch this video and weep.
I have never met a homosexual that didn’t have some sort of character flaw….be it OCD, bipolar disorder or just plain low self esteem every one that I have known has a “problem” or some other neuroses. I wonder….was “Mary Hartman” a lesbian?
Since when are medical disorders classed as “character flaws”?
And have you ever known a person who didn’t have character flaws? Because I never have. Nobody’s perfect.

Isn’t America wonderful? A place where you can willfully pose for pictures wearing a dildo on your nose, and be rewarded with a television appearance, albeit on a lunatic fringe gathering spot.
That was so disturbing on so many levels that I couldn’t finish watching it.
Krystal’s discussion with her daughter will make no difference to her sexual orientation as an adult. I am a conservative man who grew up in a conservative household. My father was not distant. My mother was not dominant.. I have no mental illnesses. I am a very ordinary man with nothing that distinguishes me from the next ordinary man. My childhood was flooded with suggestions that I would grow up, fall in love with a girl, and marry, yet I came out as homosexual to my parents at 18, having had no sexual experience, and having never met anyone I could identify as gay. I did so as it was very clear to me that my sexual orientation was innate and remained unchanged despite overwhelming heterosexual influence and encouragement. I now live an honest and hard workingl life with my loving partner of 12 years. Krystal’s daughter will turn out fine.
[…] the Krystal Ball cross-examination of her own daughter showed, there is something wrong in the water over […]
Plain and simple, that is child abuse and it’s SICK! I hope someone can rescue that poor kid from her “mother” before it’s too late.
