- Hardball with Chris Matthews on 3/18/2005. A Guest began tossing around
the term "Polygamy" and speaking about "five or six gays marrying each other"
when the topic was about Gay Marriage which has nothing to do with polygamy.
Chris Matthews fell for it hook, line, and sinker and tried to use the term
with another guest who was in favor of "civil unions." The other guest fired
back "Excuse me? That's an entirely different topic. We're talking about individual
rights here."
