When trying to figure out where presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) gets her stringent, anti-gay views, you only have to look as far as her husband. Dr. Marcus Bachmann, who has described himself as his wife’s “[URL="http://www.startribune.com/politics/national/118305399.html"]strategist[/URL],” runs a Christian-based counseling center in Minnesota that has been [URL="http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/06/29/did-michele-bachmanns-husband-turn-you-straight"]rumored[/URL] to [URL="http://minnesotaindependent.com/59781/bachmanns-christian-counseling-clinic-receives-state-funds"]offer[/URL] reparative treatment for those looking to “[URL="http://www.citypages.com/content/printVersion/17190/"]ungay[/URL]” themselves.
Just last summer, Dr. Bachmann [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvwP4vHEc-I&feature=player_embedded#at=262"]explained his position[/URL] on homosexuality while offering theoretical advice to parents concerned that one of their children was gay.
[INDENT]BACHMANN: We have to understand: [B]barbarians need to be educated[/B]. They need to be disciplined. Just because someone feels it or thinks it doesn’t mean that we are supposed to go down that road. That’s what is called the sinful nature. We have a responsibility as parents and as authority figures not to encourage such thoughts and feelings from moving into the action steps…
And let’s face it: what is our culture, what is our public education system doing today? They are giving full, wide-open doors to children, not only giving encouragement to think it but to encourage action steps. That’s why when we understand what truly is the percentage of homosexuals in this country, it is small. But by these open doors, I can see and we are experiencing, that it is starting to increase.
[/INDENT] Listen:

Along with offering faith-based counseling at his clinic, Bachmann also gives presentations at various conferences. In November 2005, he and Rep. Bachmann both ran sessions at a “Minnesota Pastors’ Summit” in Eden Prairie, Minnesota: hers focused on the gay marriage amendment she was trying to push through the state legislature, and his was titled “The Truth About the Homosexual Agenda.”
One of the people present for Dr. Bachmann’s talk almost had to leave the room because “there was so much bile.” Curt Prins, a marketing executive who identifies as gay, [URL="http://www.citypages.com/content/printVersion/17190/"]reported[/URL] that Bachmann believed homosexuality was a “choice” rather than due to genetics:
[INDENT]The climax of the presentation was when, according to Prins, Bachmann brought up “three ex-gays, like part of a PowerPoint presentation.” [B]The trio, two white men and a black woman, all testified that they had renounced their homosexuality. “One of them said, ‘If I was born gay, then I’ll have to be born again[/B],’” Prins recalls. “The crowd went crazy.”
[/INDENT] After seeing her husband’s virulent remarks, it’s no surprise then that Michele Bachmann has [URL="http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/michele-bachmanns-top-ten-anti-gay-quotes/politics/2011/06/02/21233"]fiercely disparaged[/URL] the gay community and has announced she’s in favor of an anti-gay marriage amendment on the campaign trail. What’s the most terrifying isn’t what Dr. Bachmann said, but the threat that the United States could elect a president who believes that homosexuality can be disciplined out of someone.

Why am I not surprised this came from the Bachmanns?
Bachmann’s Husband is a ‘Barbarian’ Who ‘Need To Be Educated’ And ‘Disciplined.’ He also is a 'closet homosexual'
[QUOTE=staticman;30788369]As if she had a chance.[/QUOTE]
She did have a chance. Not because she was particularly good at anything but because the media was absolutely nuts about her.
On a anger scale of 1 to 10 where 1 is slightly miffed and 10 is tearing my clothes and turning green, people like this put me up around 8.
All the more reason to vote Ron Paul 2012.
I'm ashamed that we buy flowers from their awful family
Jesus Christ, what an asshole.
Honestly, listening to the video, he sounds gay himself.
Seriously, the stereotypical "gay" accent pops in a little bit.
Especially the "Let's face it".

I hope this becomes a campaign ad, people need to be informed of just how batshit fucking insane Bachmann is.
I think it's ironic that people who believe in god are the best evidence against the existence of a god I've ever seen.

I believe the "agreeing with someone" part of my cortex just exploded.
Yeah it's on the other side of the room now.

If there is a god, and he's anything like the one described in most popular religions, I want to stay the hell out of heaven.

That's funny, because I view people like Republicans as the [I]Barbarians Who Need To Be Educated And Disciplined.[/I]

I think it's ironic that people who believe in any god say that Norse Mythology gods and things like that don't exist.

Barbarians? I think not. Wizards? Yes.

That site doesn't like hotlinking directly to the comics.
To think this woman has even the slimmest chance of becoming president is horrifying
Glad to see the husband and the wife share a similar level of intelligence!
