Michele Bachmann: Gays hired Westboro Baptists

Read Time:4 Minute, 32 Second

Fanatics like Michele Bachmann are dangerous to the nation

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Michele Bachmann is a religious fanatic.  She makes Sarah Palin look like a good old fashioned WASP.  There’s no denying how she feels about homosexuals,  especially given her many statements on the subject.   While some of these are dated, fanatics don’t have a change of heart because of their circumstances.  Although she is a little more circumspect these days, Bachmann and her husband represent the worst religion has to offer when it comes to gays.  Her husband runs a clinic, one supported in part by the taxpayers through medicare and medicaid, that offers to pray the devil out of gay people and make them heterosexual once again.

The puzzling thing about her presidential campaign is that she is actually getting traction.  This tells me that hatred for Gays runs deep in those states where she is leading the more traditional contenders such as Mitt Romney and this concerns me.  We learned more Americans than we suspected hate blacks as evidenced by the rise in hate groups and violent rhetoric subsequent to the election of Barack Obama.  Are we now learning that anti-gay sentiment is rising quickly in America and someone like Michele Bachmann is fanning those flames of hate?

The fact is Michele Bachmann, and fanatics like her, are dangerous to the nation.  I am relatively confident that the majority of Americans, if not the Republicans, do not share her hatred for homosexuals, , and she will not win the presidency.  I will wager even the Hard Left Obama Haters would not see her as an attractive option to their arch-enemy, the president.  That notwithstanding, my fear is that her very campaign will, by the nature of her words, and her very bigotry, fuel the fires of homophobia and hatred.

Gawker offers some choice quotes from Michele Bachmann that might help to support my argument:

We know where Michele Bachmann stands on heterosexuality: She’s very for it! At least according to the binding contract she recently signed with Jesus, in which marriage was explicitly defined as being “between one man and one woman.” We also know where her husband, Marcus Bachmann, falls on the topic of homosexuality: He’s firmly against it! So against, in fact, that he runs a small gay exorcism business, despite he himself being seemingly possessed by the demonic spirit of an off-duty drag queen named Big Mama. But where does Mrs. Bachmann stand on homosexuality?

Well, thanks to a lecture she delivered to the National Education Leadership Conference back in 2004 that’s currently making the rounds, we now know exactly what her thoughts are on The Gays.

Some highlights:

Michele on Satan’s involvement in homosexuality:

“We need to have profound compassion for the people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life, and sexual identity disorders. This is a very real issue. It’s not funny, it’s sad. Any of you who have members of your family that are in the lifestyle-we have a member of our family that is. This is not funny. It’s a very sad life. It’s part of Satan, I think, to say this is gay. It’s anything but gay.”

Michele on gay bondage and enslavement (but not in the fun way):

“It leads to the personal enslavement of individuals. Because if you’re involved in the gay and lesbian lifestyle, it’s bondage. Personal bondage, personal despair, and personal enslavement. And that’s why this is so dangerous.”

Michele on the good old days when a gay on TV was there for you to laugh at:

“[Gay activists want to] make gays look good, because [the media] didn’t always. If you’ll recall television maybe 15, 20 years ago, if you’d see something about gays it would be an outlandish kind of an outfit, it would be a kind of tittering, making fun. But that’s different now. Now gays are made to look good.”

Michele on Fred “God Hates Fags” Phelps:

“I almost think that the gay community has hired this guy, or created this guy, to do what he does. He is their best friend.”

Michele on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and double standards:

“This has really become a mainstream show. It’s very popular with the make-over theme. They take style-challenged straight men who need the help of a fashionably superior gay man, in some sort of a cross between This Old House meets a pre-incarcerated Martha Stewart. […] But tell a gay man that he should change and that is considered homophobic blasphemy.”

Michele on Matthew Shepard coverage and double standards:

“Have you noticed that the media is very selective in its compassion? At the very same time that Matthew Shepherd was tragically killed, there was a case of another young boy-you may have heard about him. His name was Jesse Dirkheisen [sic] -that little boy, he was 12 years old. He was kidnapped, he was brutally raped, he was murdered by two gay men. This occurred the same week as Matthew Shepherd. We heard a lot about Matthew Shepherd. We heard almost nothing about little Jesse Dirkheisen [sic]. Why? Because Jesse did not serve the purpose of those sympathetic to homosexuality.” [The 12-year-old’s name was Jesse Dirkheiser.]

Tell us what you think.  Do you believe Michele Bachmann is a force for hate in the country?

I think Michelle Bachmann is right on in her beliefs and comments. However, she is not “hating” on gay people, but has a sincere desire for them to be saved from this perverse and hate-filled lifestyle. She is only pointing out the truth that people who give themselves over to such behavior are condemned in their own eyes, and that fighting against the truth only makes a person even angrier and more filled with hatred and lies of the father of lies. Michelle Bachmann doesn’t want people who do these things to suffer for them, but honestly and truly be recovered from them. Don’t be offended because she loves and cares for gays. Be upset with the wickedness of the Devil who works in the lives of all those reject God and His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

You got it right Mike. She represents the worst religion has to offer.

The boy’s name was Jesse Dirkhising. He was 13.

I am in no way surprised that she failed to get even that small amount of detail correct; the devil is in the details, after all.

I person who can talk in such detail about the flame, sits too close to the fire.

I’m torn between wanting this woman to keep spouting craziness until everyone knows she’s a nut, and wanting her to just put the cuckoo back in the clock and shut the fuck up! She embarasses me as a Christian, an American and an Earthling.

Remember when blacks were portrayed as Step ‘n Fetchit sorts and how we’d all laugh at them, in good fun of course. Now blacks are made to look good, why, even our president is one of them.
