This Is Supposed to Be News?… Radical Gay Groups to Target Bachmann

In June radical gay activists attacked Michele Bachmann after she finished speaking at Right Online in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
And, then they completely justified it.

It’s what leftists do. The attackers said they targeted Bachmann because of her social positions.
She deserved the attack.

So it’s really not news then that the radical gay groups are going to target Michele Bachmann this election cycle.
The Politico reported, via Free Republic:

In the early weeks of her presidential run, Michele Bachmann has avoided getting bogged down in the divisive, distracting terrain of social policy.

Gay rights groups say they plan to change that.

Even as Bachmann’s tightly-disciplined campaign pivots sharply away from her roots as a social conservative warrior to embrace her newer image as a Tea Party fiscal crusader, gay leaders are looking to drag her back into the fray.

Energized by victory in New York last month, they say Bachmann’s campaign will be both the focus of their attention and a useful rallying cry as the presidential campaign hits its stride during the crucial summer of 2011.

The reason: The third-term Minnesota congresswoman and her husband, therapist Marcus Bachmann, have a history of battling gay rights groups in Minnesota long before she stepped onto the national stage.

“Michele Bachmann is the very definition of a target-rich environment, and given her husband’s positions and things she’s said in past she’s going to have a really hard time appearing as a reasonable mainstream candidate,” said Michael Cole-Schwartz, the communications director for the group Human Rights Campaign.

“We’re going to be looking or opportunities to get her record and her rhetoric out there,” he said, arguing that voters of both parties would view “ any candidates who espouse those kind of beliefs [as] living in the Twilight Zone.”

The difference, of course, between Michele Bachmann and the radical gay groups is that Bachmann doesn’t want to ram her belief system down anyone’s throat. The radical leftist gay mob does.

This woman threw confetti on Bachman, but it could have been acid, or she could have had a weapon. Why wasn’t she tackled and cuffed by bodyguards? Why isn’t she in jail?

Sorry but no, I view a man having sex with another man “[as] living in the Twilight Zone.”

Its proof that if you believe that marriage should be between a man and a women that you open yourself to the attacks of the lunatic fringe. If you find delite in smoking pole or classified as a rump ranger or even a vagitarian to attack a person the believes in the norm , just proves how far that what gray matter there is has been inserted up their festering secretion glory hole!

Sorry. I will no longer defend Bachmann from the hate filled left since she was silent while Palin was blamed for murder. The same goes for anyone else who was silent by the way.

“…she’s going to have a really hard time appearing as a reasonable mainstream candidate…”

The Lavender Mafia has gotten so much headline time they have come to believe that THEY are mainstream. Congresswoman Bachmann is no where near extreme, except in the eyes of the ‘in your face’ queer nation. These poor, deluded individuals so much want to be accepted as normal that their delusion has completely taken over their ability to see the real world out here. I place the blame for that at the feet of the LSM. Gee, imagine that.

… at least the Estimated Bachmann has now renounced connection with the church / pastor who claimed that the Pope of Rome is, in fact, the Antichrist (not, of course, that affiliation with said pastor and congregation would imply that Mrs. Bachmann actually shared such a belief… to claim that would be the Heresy of Jeremiahism).:

The left wants to demonize Bachmann like they did to Palin. I remember these types of attacks against her. The left claims to be for women’s rights, but they are the most viciously misogynist people in America.

“The difference, of course, between Michele Bachmann and the radical gay groups is that Bachmann doesn’t want to ram her belief system down anyone’s throat.”

I seem to recall reading a few weeks back that Bachmann had made a “pledge” to outlaw pornography if elected the next POTUS. Was that just a joke or was did she actually make such a statement? Because if so, it would appear she does want to ram her belief system down everyone’s throat.

I can’t support her simply because like all the other candidates, she is unable to respect the boundaries of government. I have no reason to defend porn. But what a consenting adult does with their own time is not for the government to decide.

Gay-nay marriage clerks say: ‘I don’t!’

Page 1 excerpt:
“New York allows a rabbi, priest or Shinto minister to refuse, legally, to perform gay weddings — but the law extends not one lick of respect to nonordained individuals of faith.”
. . .

Page 2 excerpt:
“Now, Bronx disc jockey Clifton McLaughlin, a born-again Christian, says he’ll refuse, if asked, to work at gay weddings. ‘This is based on God’s law,’ McLaughlin told [Andrea Peyser]. ‘There is no way man can come with his own law.’
Could he be punished? Well, yes! A gay couple denied service by a DJ, not to mention a florist or wedding band, has grounds to sue in Civil Court, a Cuomo spokesman told [Andrea Peyser].”

Let’s see if I have this correct. In the United States of America, 2011, if you are homo, bi-sexual, trans-sexual or transgender or whatever you call yourself, THAT’S legal and considered better than a man in Utah who has 4 wives? So, because you’re a pervert, you’re OK? Or, 2 SEIU lineman pulverize a 140 man and put him in the hospital and are charged with a misdemeanor. BUT, if you’re a 61 year old who who shows a TSA agent what it feels like to be “screened” (molested), you’re charged with a felony assault? Winning The Future? WTF?? What the hell has happened to the wonderful country I grew up in?

#14 no #8 and myself are not concern trolls rather we are both palin supporters who watched while fellow conservatives especially ones like michelle who sarah had campaigned for and raised money for stood by and said and did nothing while sarah was savaged and blamed for giffords shooting by the left.
so if you expect those of us who are palin supporters to feel sorry and outraged about what the left is trying to do with michelle maybee you should ask her about why she was silent after tucson,could it be that michellles own ambition was more important than standing up for what was right.

Fortunately for Michele Bachmann, gay issues will be about as relevant to the 2012 election as a straight man at a gay bar.

This election will be about jobs, economic growth, jobs, the proper size/role of the federal government, and jobs.

If Bachmann gets her message on these issues across, gay issues will have no impact.

decentAmerican commented:

Honestly, I am not bothered by gay marraige, in fact, may lean toward supporting it conceptually. However, politically, gay marriage will NOT have my support due to the blatant hypocrisy of gay marriage advocates. They cry out and whine about anti gay marriage Republicans, never admitting that they support BHO and Biden, who have both declared that marriage is between a man and a woman.

And, in Cailifornia last year when the PEOPLE voted against gay marriage bill, the advocates protested against the Mormon church and businesses that were against it. But they refused to acknowledge and protest against the largest voter block that voted against gay marriage….black voters.

Want my support, gay marriage advocates? Then I need to hear you openly protest BHO, as well as protest at black churches, for treating you like second class citizens and robbing you of your rights at equality.

Until then, I will not tolerate hypocrisy, and you will not have my support.

BTW…..I praise gay conservatives, and welcome them to our club. I can assure you that you will be more welcome as a gay in a conservative crowd, then as a conservative in a gay crowd.

LIBERALS = HATE = RACISM = INTOLERANCE

wow! what an amazing article! for a moment i was carried away ‘radical gay groups…’ and, at the end, i couldn’t stop laughing at it.
radical is when the ‘glitter girl’ throws acid/bomb/… radical is denying the rights of a fellow human. radical is dictating others what to do and what not to do. radical is looting other countries. radical is being hypocrite.
when gandhi protested british raj, he protested by burning the english clothes. in these terms, gandhi too is radical (and he is radical to the imperialist british just like this woman radical to you people). if ms bachmann and every other proud ‘anti-gay basher’ wants to prove their point, then clean ethics of every other heterosexual around you. from the place where i come from, everything with western culture is tabooed. by the books of bible itself, a woman, in simpler words, is not to wear make-up and show up like a show girl that ms bachmann and every other western woman shows up. and, i know there are a thousand others which are ‘tabooed’ by the very bible.
charlie sheen can make a porn family. kelsey grammer ends his 15 year marriage over the phone. larry king is on divorce number 9. britney spears had a 55 hour marriage. jesse james and tiger woods were having sex with everyone while married. i see a pleothora of movies and series, very acceptable to most of you, which involves pre-marital sex, bad mouthing your own mother and father, paedophile (which is not one main agenda of ms bachmann and her followers) and the list only carries on.
this article is the very example of how stupid people can become to drive their insane point. i learnt this from one of those ‘jesus christ’ movies. where people were stoning mary magdalene when jesus comes to her aid and says only that person who never committed a crime ever in his/her can throw a stone. if you are really sane enough you will understand what i mean.

hey gus i guess no coment and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz is your answer to the truth,thanks for confirming to me that ambition means more than doing the right thing.
at least sarah walks the walks as well as talks the talk about fiscal issues,i mean she doesnt have a unlicensed husband taking medicare dollars while crusading about fiscal responsibility.i guess its ok as long as it benefits michelle and marcus they are no different than the rest of the establishment sucking us dry.

The homosexual Taliban feel that feeding off rather that blind emotion and shallow assumptions are all that is required to make a point. The appeal to raw emotion and I suspect that’s because they know.
Really, there is no one in America as paranoid and frightened as these deviants.
