Another child exploited by their parents to further their own agenda.
Awww come on, I know lots of 8 year old Activists that support gay rights and let political candidates know it.
That’s one of the best comments ever.
what he said.
I love that “deer in the headlights” look of yet another KoolAid Party ignoranus confronted with a small measure of reality.
Yeah–“I raised 23 Foster Children.”
From the wiki: “Bachmann and her husband have also provided foster care for 23 other children,[24][25] all teenage girls. The Bachmanns were licensed from 1992 to 2000 to handle up to three foster children at a time; the last child arrived in 1998. The Bachmanns began by providing short-term care for girls with eating disorders who were patients in a program at the University of Minnesota. The Bachmann home was legally defined as a treatment home, with a daily reimbursement rate per child from the state. Some girls stayed a few months, others more than a year.[20]

There is no bottom to the hypocrisy of this beard.
SHE WAS PAID! Most parents do it because they love the children.
All girls? Creepy, in an indescribable way!
Creepy has always been my reaction. I won’t read about or want to know how many young girls went through that Bachmann house. I’ll remain ignorant.
Sad young girls forced to live without their biological parents.
Here come the haters.
The mother may be gay, but she’s also a douche. Leave the kid out of it next time.
I cannot agree more. Regardless of your political position on the issue, you should not drag your kid into it. I love to see how the parents would feel if the kid got the response: “Your mom is wrong. She is sick, she just does not know it yet. You should try to help me helping her too.”
If you want to put your little children on the front line, you are putting them in danger of being in the line of fire. And I would fully put the parents responsible for putting their children out there, not the person firing back.
Stop making your children the shields for your own fight.
That boy will grow up in an environment that he can choose to be gay or not; good for him.
You have just told the world that you have no fucking idea what you’re talking about.
Being sexually attracted to members of any sex, come to think of it of any age, is a matter of brain wiring.
Sexual preference is not a matter of choice.
BTW The supposed success of aversion therapy only proves that you have aversion to aversion therapy.
If its a matter of a person brain being miswired then why does this boy claim his mother doesn’t need fixing?
Just looking at from a scientific angle, the nature of sex is to procreate and thats just not going to happen for his mom. So ya I guess she could be miswired, but that doesn’t mean its right.
notice the beginning of video with obese homosexual mother MAKING her poor innocent child say something he clearly does not want to say!
Child abuse.
I’m a Republican, and I can’t stand the hypocrisy, either. Why my party insists on trampling any group’s rights is beyond me. If you pride yourself on small government that doesn’t force itself upon the daily lives of the people, why are you so concerned with a person’s sexual orientation?
Can’t say I agree with the mother’s decision to use her child to further an agenda, though. It’s a douche move.
your no republican, or you would understand it is not trampling on some ones rights it is stopping the govt from giving special rights to people just because of the way they have sex.
I dont care what you do in your bedroom just dont march down the street in your cheerleader outfit and tell me you need special protection from the govt because your a persecuted minority.
Indeed. But there’s a huge difference between being treated fairly, and “special rights”.
Personally, I don’t think that the government has any business telling me who I can work for, hire, sell my house to (or not), how to arrange the seating in my bus or lunch counter, etc., etc. etc.
But if the government is going to hand out special rights to married people and, indeed, issue marriage licenses, give spousal survivor Social Security benefits, maintain a volunteer or draft based standing army, then they’d damned well better not put restrictions on it based on religious dogma.
Here here!
It’s a good idea to create a labyrinth of laws, court rulings, multi-state regulations and bureaucracy to avoid giving people “special rights”.
But the government already gives special rights to some people becasue of the way they have sex.
Its called marriage.
How about this as an example of government forcing itself on others. Guess who is running for office?
“President Barack Obama, in a memorandum to executive departments, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, during a speech before the U.N. Human Rights Council, issued a coordinated denunciation Tuesday of anti-gay discrimination, stating that equal treatment of gay, lesbian and transgender people was an explicit U.S. foreign policy goal.”
You are kidding… right?
Yes, you’re right…it’s a total douche move. Otherwise agreed!
Ah, if she’s claiming to be gay and had a son by the usual way, she does indeed need to be “fixed” so it doesn’t happen again the next time she decided to not be gay with some random hunk.
#14–NextLie==how does the government not supporting governments that allow its people to execute people for being gay interfere with any interest of yours?
What is that interest by the way?
What is the Purpose of the USA government: to protect life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? Encourage other governments to do likewise?
Insufferable stupidity.
Blowhard,
Then why not do something about the nightmare that is Sudan, the war crimes in Syria, and many other spots around the globe? Because The One is on the campaign trail and has one goal, reelection. To help achieve this he courts the “Gay” constituency and any other “marginalized” group. That is the ONLY reason this policy was initiated.
Unbelievable arrogance.
“Why doesn’t he *do* something” was what we heard right before he got crucified for Libya.
Make up your mind.
I would refer to the mother as ‘gutless’ if she wasn’t do darned ‘gutfull’.
To all the haters, people like Bachmann who believes Jesus can make you “normal” should look in the bible and then in the mirror.
Her “husband” is as gay as a three dollar bill. Her hypocrisy cup runneth over.
All you haters claiming that Mr Bachman is gay. Its obvious you just hate ballroom dancing and are using that as a cover.
Why can’t you all just do the two-step over to being more honest?
I’m no hater of any people regardless of creed, color or sexual orientation. Not a fan of ballroom (don’t watch tv either) though I’m sorry bobbo, Marcus “appears” to be not what makes half of a true heterosexual marriage.
I really hope he’s gay, too many young pubescent girls running around that (Bachmann) house.
You ball room dance don’t you.
As a side note some one should tell the kid that its not fair to have a battle of wits with an unarmed republican.
Yea, yea I ball room.
Your right about the kid. I wonder if Perry would have whispered in the kids ear, “I’ve got a .380 Ruger on me, scram or I’ll turn your mommy straight”.
Not you, bobbo, and perry reminds me of a closet sandusky.
Still not adjusted to the new format. Numbered posts did help.
Agree this is exploitation of a child for a political position. But phaallleeeez, this is mild compared to the Christian Taliban who exploits children routinely for demonstrations.
Hmm.. Lets Google:
“hateful+Jesus+ children+fuckheads+kill+fags+heaven”
here’s one!

+1 for the idea that homosexuals are narcisists who will do anything for attention, including publicly forcing a little kid to say something he clearly does not want to say.
These people need to stop thinking that people don’t like them because of their sexual preferences and realize that maybe it’s just because they’re obnoxious tw@ts.
obnoxious tw@ts, like you?
You need to go somewhere where you are in the minority, but you’re too much a twit to get a clue it seems.
Dude the word is twats, using the @ in place marks you with the intellect of a twelve year old. If your going to insult someone at least be an adult about it.
I mean if I think your a prick I don’t want you to misinterpret that fact that I think your a prick, so I make a simple declarative statement. Your a prick.
Even if the kid said what he thought I have to wonder what his father thought.
Fighting ignorance with child exploitation. Nice move, Mom. Nothing to fix there.
What if the child “appeared” Caucasian, but the biological mother was a Negro?
And Bachmann was for slavery?
And the child said, “My mother doesn’t need to be white to have freedom!“
I don’t give a damn what rights Gays get, I just want the government to top giving preferential treatment to some groups, especially the mindless heterosexual middle class ass-wipes who whine endlessly about what they and their spoiled rotten children deserve.
As history has shown, over and over, antigay people are strongly correlated with being deeply closeted homosexuals.
“And Bachmann was for slavery?”
23 foster kids, draw your own conclusion.
“antigay people are strongly correlated with being deeply closeted homosexuals.”
Here is a short list of anti-gay found to be…. gay.
Not that there is anything wrong with being gay.
George Rekers, Wrote “Growing Up Straight: What Families Should Know About Homosexuality”.
Pastor Eddie Long, The pastor of New Birth Missionary.
Troy King, Alabama Attorney General.
Richard Curtis, Washington State Representative.
Ted Haggard, Pastor New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Roy Ashburn, California State Senator.
Jim West, Spokane Mayor.
Does anyone care, that this mother, used her 8 year old son, to communicate a political message. This is manipulation, just to create a story. Why couldn’t this person, just tell Mrs. B. her statement, and not use her child, who had to obviously practice over and over, the line he gave to the Senator.
Shouldn’t the title read “Homosexual mother forces 8 year old kid to tell Bachmann a line he was told to memorize?”
You need only to look to youtube for countless videos of kids regurgitating the political views of their parents.
Prior to the last election one of our neighbor kids proudly proclaimed he’d never vote for Obama because he (Obama) kills babies. The parents are extremely socially conservative even by Catholic standards. The Dad also happens to have a sister who’s a lesbian and who by the way has a child.
One of my favorite quotes from the Dad about his sister: “If she wanted a kid, she should have just sucked it up and married a dude”.
Great. Marry someone you don’t love just to have a kid. That’s a great environment for raising a family.
That’s a fucking horrible parent right there.
choosing to be lesbian or using her child?
Having a child recite a something like this is wholly inappropriate. He and his mom should pray for God’s forgiveness and sing a couple of verses from “Onward Christian Soldiers.” That’s something that Michele Bachmann could enthusiastically applaud.
Reciting memorized lines is only appropriate with the RIGHT lines, such as something you’ve learned in church.
It ain’t those parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.
Mark Twain
What we need to do is get government out of the marriage business altogether. Make every “marriage” a civil union, recognized equally by the state. If you want to have that recognized by your church in a religious ceremony, then that’s between your holy man/church/god.
If anyone suggested that, the regressives would decry that as an attack on the institution of marriage. They are ok with the convenient inequality that their beliefs are the ones enshrined in law.
Throughout all of known history, poets, philosophers, witch doctors, chemists, and psychologists have all struggled to idenify and analyze what makes us experience sexual attraction and fall in love. It’s always been thought of as one of the great mysteries of the ages, although it’s known that pheromones can play a limited role. Yet as soon as the subject of homosexuality comes up, a lot of people seem to have a great deal of certainty that attraction and love is all just a conscious decision of free will that can be reversed at any moment, providing that someone simply wants to change their mind.
I can’t help but wonder how these people muster enough brainpower to tie their own shoes, much less to have solved the mystery of the ages.
I guess Bachmann doesn’t think there are any gay jews in Israeli. Because she’s not daring to harsh such lifestyle there. Might cost her some of that money, they use to swing US campaigns, their way.
Newt Gingrich has a gay sister.
Dick Cheney has a gay daughter.
Who said there is no justice in the world?

thinking about whether or not you need to walk in anothers moccasins to understand their life challenges: I don’t think so. Such shoe changing is in fact impossible–so that really can’t be the way to wisdom. How about more simply understanding your own journey?
I remember when being a kiddies and the group was making fun of some gays. Even at that early age I thought about why was I attracted to some people for some reasons and not other people? I wasn’t even sexual at the time. Quite powerful ideas though–stuck with me to even now. Loved my mother–not my father. Why was that? Recognizing who loved me and who didn’t?
Good thing there is a lower recognition/appreciation for those who simply leave us alone and those who won’t?
I never was good a team sports.
The whole thing about “choosing sexual orientation” should really be understood by all by looking within yourself for two questions, either one of which should do: “When/how did you choose your own orientation?” and then later: “When born with both sets of reproductive organs–is it fair to say you are one or the other?” Then maybe you can conclude our sexuality falls on a long continuum with a few switchbacks and sidetracks as well.
Silly Hoomans.
I worked with a hermaphrodite (born with both sex organs) who was a man at work and a woman at home.
I guess God could not make up his mind what to do with this person.
Nevertheless, being born with both sex organs is not a choice.
According to Christian dogma, what should be done with this freak of nature? Should he/she be stoned to death?
He/she was a very nice and hard-working guy/girl with two normal children.
“I guess God could not make up his mind what to do with this person.” /// APOSTASY!!! God made this person just the way he wanted to. My, my. So deep in the hole.
I’m glad not to have met a hermaphrodite in my life, to my knowledge. My expectations are so high, so loaded, so unrealistic–I would only be disappointed to learn they are but another individual human being.
Nothing special at all.
On the lighter side, it sounds like your hermaphroditic coworker made the smart choice to present as a male in the workplace, since men have a higher average pay scale 🙂
I don’t know what the early Christian dogma would have been concerning this, but the Jewish teaching that preceded it was that birth defects and other congenital conditions, such as blindness or lameness, were often a punishment by God for the sins of the parents. There’s one “miracle” described in the book of John where there was a man blind from birth, forced to beg if he wanted to survive. The disciples asked Jesus, “Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Obviously, it makes no sense that congenital blindness could be a punishment for a sin that had yet to be committed by the man himself, but the question about his parents sinning reflected longstanding Jewish dogma of the era.
Jesus’ reply to the question then took a slightly bizarre turn. He is quoted as saying “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.” I’ve always heard this interpreted by the Church in a straightforward manner, meaning that the man suffered blindness from infancy through early adulthood simply so Jesus could perform the miracle and glorify God. This is truly a strange cult that worships this deity out of anything but pure fear. It’s also highly implausible that the Creator of the Universe would actually behave in this manner toward his children, but it’s in the Bible so it MUST be true!
So don’t stone your coworker to death. (S)he may have been born that way so Jesus could perform a magnificent and glorious miracle for all of us to see!
Understood.
So what would that particular miracle be?
I have no idea what miracle awaits a hermaphrodite.
It seems to me that a hermaphrodite that survives and lives among us without being judged by ignorant and dogmatic religious fanatics is a miracle in itself.
You just described the mother of all miracles 😉
Not wanting to be politically correct, but the fates have determined that for me: calling a hermaphrodite a “freak” of nature has a certain negative connotation. Why not blessed? Who might have a better understanding of the battling dual nature in man to be nurturing and domineering at the same time? What is the female vs male nature as society role plays it? As you see it yourself? As you experience it within yourself?
Freak–as in statistically rare? Yes.
Freak–as in freak? No.
Surely use of that term reveals something just a little bit more than was intended?
Ha, ha. Silly Hoomans—all across the spectrum.
As in the Bible, a single word can be interpreted a number of ways.
“Freak” in this instance refers to the statistical rarity of the occurrence.
Since I am the author of the comment, only I know what I meant to say.
Yet someone comes along and interprets my comment with a negative connotation.
Interpretation is in the eye of the beholder.
Words don’t mean what you intend.
Words mean what the dictionary says they mean.
