The Media-manufactured Bachmann Scandal

If you have been watching the news for the last few days you probably heard some of the following allegations about Michele Bachmann and her husband, Marcus, stated as unambiguous facts:

that she said homosexuals are “part of Satan”;
that he denied counseling homosexuals who wanted to change their lifestyle;
that he called homosexuals “barbarians.”
I’ve carefully read every single story about this brewing “scandal” and come to the unavoidable conclusion that all three essential allegations are without merit – totally untrue. This conclusion, of course, leads to a few others:

that the media are afraid of Michele Bachmann’s stunning popularity in Republican presidential polls;
that the media are out to get Michele Bachmann by hook or by crook;
that the media will say anything and do anything to prevent Michele Bachmann’s compelling message from being heard through their lens of distortion and lies.

Let’s talk specifics here.

No. 1: Did Michele Bachmann say, as has been repeated ad nauseam in reports by CNN and dozens of other news sources, that homosexuals are “part of Satan”?

No, she did not. Here is what she did say in context in a speech in 2004: “We need to have profound compassion for the people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life, and sexual disorders. This is a very real issue. It’s not funny, it’s sad. 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.”

  2. I hope Michelle is tough-skinned – this is just the beginning of what will be the dirtiest, meanest, ugliest campaign in history on the part of the Dems. The Dems have NOTHING to brag about. The economy is tanking, unemployment is really over the 9% they are claiming, bank scandals and bailouts, Obamacare, the stimulus that wasn't, the constant attacks on our Constitutional rights, the "King Barack and Queen Michelle" attitude, etc. Their only recourse is to smear and disparage any Republic or Independent candidates. Why else would they want to read 24,000 pages of Palin's emails? Hang on to your hat, it's going to be a rough ride!

  3. Talk Radio, Fox News & all other conservative medias should make a concentrated effort to expose such media sources responsible for making such false allegations. The general public needs to be made aware!

    • Fox News is in no way a conservative news source. Look a lil' bit closer.
      As far as talk radio goes, I am not too sure of them either. Mostly what I hear from those guys are "Hey! Look at ME. Hear ME. I am so GREAT."

      And another thing, Alexia, please be carefull what you say in your response to a buncha folks on here. Just because some will occasionally agree with you in this blog does not mean their heart is in the same place as yours.
      There are enemy instigators in our midst.

      • Ern do not expect me to not take up for myself just because i am a woman. As for my responses if i disagree or some one is slighting most definitely i will respond. Further it has been me all along making people aware of all the tricks the DNC & Soros financed loonies are doing on this site.

    • Alexia,even FOX seens to be trying to push ROMNEY on us. BPO: BACHMANN-PALIN OVERDRIVE !!

      • Apache6 it certainly appears that Fox News with Carl Rove & Charles Krauthammer are doing all that they can do to promote Romney. I also like Bachmann & Palin as well.

      • "NO" to Romney! Remember RomneyCare? Romney was Gov. of one of the mose liberal states in the union.

        Don't listen to Fox News on this one. But then just about anyone is better than Obama.

    Of course this is happening…That which they fear the most they will try to destroy!

  5. The media like this administration is running scared, they know that when the hammer comes down from this next election that all their manipulation of the information is going to come crashing down on their heads and the media world is going to change. The change will not include the many who will be pointed out and held accountable. So for them this last ditch stand at trying to spread enough lies and derision about those they fear is their only hope….

    Communists LIE. It's in their DNA. They can't help themselves, mostly because they just don't understand the concept of truth (or the American way). There's no need to be surprised, but we do need to run these Communists (Progressives as they call themselves) out of this country that they despise so much. First we get rid of the unions (their nursery), then we get rid of the rest of the Communists.

    • They must be great admirers of Adolf Hitler and the great death and destruction he caused. But then the German people did love him, right to the point when he turned the ugly side of his face to the world.

      Hitler is over all responsible for the deaths of 6,000,000 people. An unchallanged Progressive movement will cause history to repeat itself.

    • EdinNOLA wonderful comments! I so agree with you.

  7. You know someone is serious about running for president when s/he leaves her/his radical church. Guess Michele thinks she might need some Catholic votes. :-) http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/07/15/michele-

    • James this spin just won't fly! Michelle Bachmann has not even attended this church for over two years.
      Further it is obvious that she did not cancell her membership due to media pressure as Obama did. Bachmann has always been a strong supporter of the Catholic Church.

  8. Steve Jones says:

    I'm unimpressed with Bachmann. Sorry. I don't think she's a winner against Obama. She doesn't come off as articulate or in control. Her answers to media attacks are lame and political: Reciting her list of qualifications in dull, rote fashion. She's completely on defense. Why doesn't she hammer back with something like, "We owe $14 trillion and you're asking me about John Wayne? Why aren't you as fixated on Biden's many gaffes as you are mine?" But instead, she goes passive. And she sounds more like a member of the local PTA board than a serious candidate for president. Not what we need to beat the Community Organizer.

    • Since when has Obama appeared to be in control? The Shadow Government is in control of Obama.

      Obama is articulate, especially when reading from a teleprompter.

      But then Obama has visited all 57 States. I know Bachmann cannot match that one.

  9. This far out, it's anybody's guess what the GOP ticket will consist of. As of right now (and that could change) my 2 dream tickets for the GOP would be Perry/Bachman or Perry/Cain. Yes, I'm a Texan. But in spite of some negatives, Perry has kept Texas above water. Homes here are still selling, we have a lower unemployment rate than most other states. Our fuel prices are almost always lower than the national average.
    Perry knows how to run a government. He certainly cares more about the citizens of Texas than Obama does about the citizens of our entire country. And the fact that he IS a man of faith should not count against him. That was one of the driving forces that elected Carter. Unfortunately, Carter didn't have the ability to govern as does Perry.

  10. The problem in Washington, in this country, in this world is not politcal parties [conservative, progressive, republican, democrat ...liberal] it is a battle between good and evil. God authored the Bible [ http://jc.does-it.net ] and Satan wrote the other book that causes peopel t o hate everything that God loves.
