Michele Bachmann, who keeps reappearing like a cold sore, has returned to the scene again as her usual offensive self. This time, the departing-none-too-soon Representative is recycling the canard that all gays are pedophiles, with her standard off-the-wall twist, all in the service of defending traditional marriage.
Gays will “abolish age of consent laws, which means we will do away with statutory rape laws so that adults will be able to freely prey on little children sexually,” Bachmann fantasized during an appearance on the Faith & Liberty radio show. “That’s the deviance that we’re seeing embraced in our culture today.”
What set Bachmann off was the Supreme Court decision striking down DOMA a year ago. The loss still causes cartoon birds to flutter around her head when she speaks.
“This is a revolution that we are encountering now,” Bachmann complained. “For all of the thousands of years of recorded human history, about 5,000 years, there is no instance of any culture, nation or tribe ever having as the established standard for marriage anything other than between man and woman. It may have been multiple women and a man, it may have been something like that, but it was always between men and women.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
But Michele wants to you to know that she loves you all anyway. “Our message is to spread goodness and joy and wholeness and healing, and we do that through a loving God with a message that frees people, it doesn’t enslave people, we shouldn’t fear giving out this very good word,” Bachmann said. “It takes these concepts for the purpose of bringing liberty, joy, healing, wholeness and a fresh way of thinking for people’s lives.”
Yes, calling us pedophiles is certainly a message of goodness and joy. At least in Michele’s alternate universe.
As a reminder, Michele is leaving Congress because even her own constituents find her too loony for their taste. Unfortunately, she keeps giving us examples proving them right.

She’s confusing gays with priests, football coaches and evangelicals……just because a few gay priests have been just as subhuman many many MANY of the str8 ones doesn’t mean all gay men want to be priests!

Of COURSE Michelle thinks that. She has to tie all sin to her own life, needs, and behavior.
You know how the people who are most jealous of their other half, are usually the ones who are cheating? They are projecting.
Michelle thinks all of these things about kids etc… maybe because that is what is constantly on her mind…because it is what SHE wants to do.
It would explain her marriage to her “obviously not interested in women” husband. Two people not interested in sex with each other because they both crave other things.
The sickest people are usually the ones screaming the loudest about how sin free they are.

Hubby still homo. Unless they actually cured him…?

Alors Mich on se laisse aller? En manque de visibilité médiatique? C’est raté avec cette vielle recette.

It’s no wonder news sources repeat quotes as something stupid she said. Why fact check it when she has said much worse things. If she hasn’t said it yet, she probably will.

@jeremie du douze bar: If I get your drift you are saying it’s the same old story from Michelle and she’s using the same tired tactic. Oui?

Why does the US Republican Party turn out so many nutjobs like Bachmann? Perhaps it’s very true of today’s Republicans that ignorance is truly bliss.
LubbockGayMale
@Jim, it’s the nuts in the Tea Party wing of the GOP (Goofy old Party) that are flinging the BS. With the TP behind her (and Cruz, et al) anything is fair game; and once she/Cruz/et al spout off, it’s accepted as GOSPEL TRUTH by the right wing nuts. And what’s worse, they can’t even remember to quit using provably false stories in their tirades!

Bachman is a vile, ignorant, perverted, disgusting clown.

Unfortunately she keeps speaking? What are you talking about? She’s like the Westboro Baptist Church – great publicity for us, and great for democrats, too. People just don’t want to side with crazy. They only get power when everybody stays hush hush and dogmatic, so let all sides speak. And I say that as a guy who knows how fickle my own sanity can be.
On a related note, I clicked on the article because I love how insane she looks. I don’t know why. I just want to tell her to take a break, relax a little, the world will be okay without her manipulating everybody and nobody can be happy with that much a need to control everyone. 😛

“Freely prey”? All this and bad grammar too, Crazy Eyes?

It is a proven fact, that most child molesters are straight, male, and white.

She like something out of, “To Kill a Mockingbird.” The damage one can do with words is immense. I’ve said two things in my writings on Queerty, for which I had issued heartfelt apologies soon after. They bother me to this day, yet this blathering bigot spews out all this slanderous, hateful BS on a weekly basis and seems to have zero remorse for her words.

She’s free to think what she wants. Just as I’m free to think she’d be doing the world a favor by hanging herself live on Fox News.

Does her mind ever rise out of the gutter?

Does no one ever question her facts? Does she have any actual evidence to support her claims?

This stupid bitch said “God visited me in my living room and said, Michele, I want you to run for congress.” Apparently, she hears voices and is delusional. Not altogether surprising for a Bible thumper but, alas, this heffa is still certifiable.

She who does evil expects evil. – Italian saying
Obviously Michelle Bachman must be doing evil. And obviously her “husband” is the queeniest man in Minnesota. Does she think her husband wants to prey on children?
Bauhaus
Michelle Bachman is a profoundly angry and bitter woman. She’s never been laid by a heterosexual man, so she doesn’t know the pleasure of a sexual relationship. Being repressed, and mortified by her ridiculous husband, she can only find meaning in her wasted life by hiding behind the Bible, and persecuting others.
1EqualityUSA
The best fiction writer in the world couldn’t come up with these two characters. She (they) are like bugs in a jar, disgusting, but I can’t stop looking. They seem to grow worse and worse as the years crash down on them. Bauhaus nailed it.
