Everyone’s Starting To Notice How Insanely Anti-Gay The Bachmanns Are

Self-proclaimed serial murderer and GOP presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann and her “barbarian educating,” gay-voiced hubby Marcus have finally come under mainstream scrutiny for their history of anti-gay politics. And how sweet it is, especially since Michele has come within striking distance of being the GOP Presidential frontrunner.

Last night MSNBC’s Ed Schultz teamed up with Daily Beast’s Michelle Goldberg and Raw Story’s Michael Rogers to discuss Michele’s anti-gay political history (such as voicing support for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and worrying that gay marriage will make kids wanna go gay too), and Marcus’ ex-gay counseling—something he has received government dollars for

Plus! The Washington Post just ran an in-depth article on their anti-gay extremism! Here’s a couple of the article’s tasty tidbits:

- The Bachmanns’ strong belief that homosexuality is a correctable sin within the realm of possible redemption…- With a new same-sex marriage law in New York suddenly making homosexuality a topic for national discussion again, the Bachmanns have been surprisingly quiet “I am running for the presidency of the United States. I am not running to be anyone’s judge.”
- Michele Bachmann has called gay marriage “probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last, at least, 30 years.”
- Bachmann congregants of the the Living Word Christian Center in 2006… that she pursued her degree in tax law only because her husband had told her to. “The Lord says: Be submissive, wives. You are to be submissive to your husbands,” she said. (She also once called homosexuality “a part of Satan.”
- Dr. Bachmann delivered at the Grace Church in Eden Prairie titled “The Truth About the Homosexual Agenda,” during which he introduced three people as “former homosexuals” as proof that sexual orientation is a choice.
- Dr. Bachmann is not currently licensed by Minnesota’s mental health or family therapy boards. Minnesota law allows unlicensed mental health professionals to practice

You've posed a very good question!

On Marcus Bachmann's company's page, he claims to have a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Union Graduate School, OH. It turns out that there is no place called "Union Graduate School." It's actually Union Institute & University, an online for-profit company that offers a PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies. It used to have a spin-off called Union Graduate School that offered a PhD in Arts and Sciences. This has been defunct since 1978. At no time has this institution ever offered a PhD in Clinical Psychology, although wikipedia notes that some of its degree-holders falsely claim that their doctoral degrees are in specific fields.

Bachmann claims to have a master's degree from Regent University, VA. That's the place founded by Pat Robertson.

In other words, Bachmann appears to be fraudulently claiming to have a degree in Clinical Psychology. He's received reimbursement from Medicare. I wonder....

A local flowershop,gardening store chain just recently posted the following disclaimer:

We receive many inquiries about Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. Although she shares our home state of Minnesota, the Bachman family and Bachman's Inc. are in no way related to or associated with Rep. Michele Bachmann.

when you have to deny that you are related...well-that says a lot!

Good the media is checking her out...we need to get rid of these nutcases.
