FOXNews Greta Van Susteren (Kerry O'Connor) interviewed Mark Henkel -7- July 2006
from National Polygamy Advocate · host Mark Henkel
National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel spoke for 7th time with producer Kerry O'Connor for "On the Record w/ Greta Van Susteren" on FOX News television network, on July 31, 2006. This was the seventh of nine (7of9) discussions with this producer over the following months in 2006. That week, famous actor and one of the few known conservative and pro-Christian actors, Mel Gibson, had been arrested for drunken driving and was recorded making racist rants to the officer. Conservatives and Christians responded that they cannot be defined by what one person does. Mark Henkel noted that that is exactly his own argument when conservatives try to condemn all UCAP, Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy, by the anecdotes of Warren Jeffs and his FLDS cult. Mark Henkel even noted how one example of TV interview he gave earlier that year on which a conservative pundit had tried to do exactly that to him - and how Mark Henkel correctly used the same argument in reply back then that conservatives were suddenly also using about this later "Mel Gibson story." Over the previous weeks, the producer had indicated that the show was then-currently focused on war reporting "all the time." Even so, they needed a "pitch" for bringing him on to their show. Mark Henkel noted how this "Mel Gibson news story" could be such a possible angle to "pitch." The producer said she would talk with a fellow producer friend (of another show on FOX News) to see if that other show might want to use this angle even if she could not this time. Unfortunately, nothing became of it, but this was not the last time they spoke either. Subsequent interviews between the two will be broadcast in the forthcoming podcast episodes. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com
