Tell Michele Bachmann: Quit the Bigotry

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/209/666/105/?z00m=20016416



Michele Bachmann claims to have American family values as her first priority. But considering her strident anti-progressive stance, it seems like Bachmann only has one kind of family in mind.

It was bad enough when Bachmann's husband, Marcus, referred to gays as "barbarians." Now, Michele Bachmann has recently signed a pledge suggesting that homosexuality has the same detrimental public health effects as adultery, child pornography, and second-hand smoking.

Michele Bachmann has continually demonstrated her hypocrisy when it comes to American LGBT issues. Government spending is wrong, she says, but Marcus Bachmann's ex-gay therapy clinic has taken $137,000 in federal funds in the last five years, despite the American Psychological Association's statement that such therapy is both ineffective and harmful.

It's high time for Michele Bachmann to realize that her blatantly bigoted actions will not go unnoticed. Tell Bachmann that homophobia doesn't belong in the White House.

As others have stated, this lady's "base" is the far right fundies...she speaks in their code and thus when something outrageous comes out and the media makes an issue about it, she plays the victim card or others play it for her. Unlike Mooselini who will harp about it, Bachmann sticks to her talking points and the silence drives her critics nuts. When you ignore an issue its hard to get caught off base...and she plays this act very well.

How this plays if she actually wins the nomination is another story but she and her supporters aren't looking that far down the road...the rushpublican demolition derby is all they see.
