Fellow LGBT Blogger Summit participant Jeremy Hooper at Good As You - who's even smarter than he is cute - has once again demonstrated that he's the best when it comes to unearthing past statements and demagoguery by opponents of LGBT equality. His latest "gold strike" is a 2004 video of Michele Bachmann at a National Education Conference in the Twin Cities area in 2004. Very little has changed in Bachmann's hate and fear based extremism over the last seven years and LGBT Americans remain her whipping boy of choice. And given her husband's now documented promotion at the ex-gay myth and reparative therapy, it's not too much of a stretch to see that the 2004 anti-gay rant (see the video below) was possibly calculated to be good for the Bachmann household's bottom line financially.
Obviously, only time will tell whether or not Michele Bachmann and her lisping, mincing husband truly believe the "ex-gay" rhetoric or if they are merely laughing all the way to the bank. Either way, the situation shows that both Bachmann's are ethically challenged and that she's unfit for high office. Here are highlights of what Jeremy unearthed:
*
Well there's something that's happening in our schools, and one of the reasons why I felt I was called to take up this issue, of bringing a constitutional amendment to the state of Minnesota before our people — I was the chief author in the MN state senate — is because of the profound impact this [legal recognition of same sex couples] would have on every man, every woman, every child in the state of Minnesota.
*
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.
*
The Love Won Out conference was here not too long ago in the Twin Cities, and it’s profoundly sad to recognize that almost all, if not all, individuals who have gone into the lifestyle have been abused at one time in their life, either by a male or by a female.
*
this new legal enforcement of a new status—homosexuality, lesbianism, bringing it into the mainstream, if you will, giving it a legitimacy if you will -- that will impact not only the gay community, but every man, woman and child, particularly the schools."
*
As Jeremy notes, the Dump Bachmann Blog has a full hour of her anti-gay batshitery> It it she goes on to say this about being LGBT:
*
“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.
*
Frankly, if there's anyone suffering from personal bondage and enslavement, it's Ms. Bachmann and her lisping husband. They are in bondage to their false and discredited medical and mental health beliefs about LGBT individuals. One can only hope that the general public will wake up and see how such vitriolic homophobia points to Bachamann's own emotionally and mentally disturbed state.

Being Michele Bachmann is part of Stupid. Voting for Michele Bachmann would be even stupider.
