She may well say that, but unfortunately the evidence of what her husband does provides a different point of view. 

Why is she obsessed with gays

Gregory tried once again to get a definitive “yes” or “no” from Bachmann on if she would definitely consider appointing a gay judge, but she just answered, “I have my criteria.”

In this day and age I would hope that we are past appointing judges based on sexuality, race, gender and height and more focused on rewarding our supporters with judicial tenure.

Seriously, I hope any President that appoints a judge, ambassador or what have you at least considers merit and competency as viable criteria.

And we all “know” that women can’t have different opinions than their husbands.

Why does he ask her if ’2 men raising children can be considered a family’ Thats such an irrelevant gotchya question from the liberal media … per usual. And to answer that… no I don’t think that could be defined as a ‘family.’ When did America let political correctness get in the way of common sense? It takes a man + a woman to create families and it’s ideal by evolutionary construct, for 1 male and 1 female to raise a child, not gays and lesbians. Sorry if common sense offends anyone reading…. 

Yeah the 50% divorce rate backs up your theory. (sarcasm)

Nothing is irrelevant when you’re running for President, so fuck off.

The fact that she made that statement means that Bachmann actually believes she has a chance at the nomination.

Damn there must have been some crack in that huge corn dog she ate the other day.

Women perfectly entitled to different opinions, but I’m basing my comment yes, her husband yes, but also on her reinforced opposition to DADT.

‘“The don’t ask, don’t tell policy worked very well … yes, I probably would” revive the policy, she told interviewer Candy Crowley on CNN’s “State of The Union” Sunday.

If the women are submissive to their husbands, I don’t see how they can.

So many of us have moved on from that, and in another 20 years it will wholly cease to be a matter of concern or interest. Bachmann is a throwback to the 50′s I suppose.

…another coordinated hit piece. From the mouths at NBC to the ears of the uninformed. How much more corruption from our media and government are we going to accept before running these progressives thieves out of town on a rail? Start handing out the pitchforks boys, November 2012 is right around the corner. Dibs on David Gregory!

the woman became a tax lawyer cus her husband told her to…even though she hated it

Let’s go one step more. She wasn’t just a tax attorney. She wasn’t saving people from paying taxes ir engage in estate planning. She worked for the IRS. BACHMANN WORKED FOR THE IRS, folks. A T-Partee-er working for the IRS. A woman opposed to any raise in taxes, regarless of how much the nation may need additional revenues. Worked for the IRS.

A classic metaphor from various peasant revolution since the 12th century and also from “Frankenstein” when the idiot villagers get torches and pitchforks and march up the hill to the manor.

She has nothing to offer other than bitching about the deficit and “obama care.”

It will be fun to watch when she drops out of the race.

I think most rational people agree that no one should be appointed on the basis of their sexuality, race or gender. But by the same token, rational people also agree that no one should be EXCLUDED on the basis of these things, and that was the premise of the question, which is a perfectly legitimate one, in light of her statements. 

You ridiculous conservatives and your fright about The Gotcha Question. Anything remotely smelling of actual journalism is now a Gotcha Question. You really are such a bunch of prissy little flowers. You think you can handle the presidency, but you can’t even face a journalist. You’re all pathetic.

Glad to see your TV education is paying off. Hey Austinite, you going to see Sublime tonight?

When politicians skirt around questions to controversial policies, why do people come to their defence labelling them as “gotcha” questions? Surely no question is a “gotcha” question if it relates to one of their policies. Back up your beliefs and move on. Done. This just makes her look weak, obviously trying to appeal to a broader spectrum of the electorate.

Take her words and actions as evidence.  Her husband’s actions are irrelevant.

And “if” I had wheels I’d be a wagon.

Puh-lease.

Except for things like previous associations… when you’re an Obama.

Versus the Democrats… who “bitch” about Bush, the ‘scary’ TeaParty, and rich people.

Bachmann may not be Running To Be Anyone’s Judge, but she as POTUS would be appointing judges. This makes her dangerous.

One thing is for sure….we damn sure do not ascribe any honor and dignity to Gregory!

You can take that to the bank!!!

What does your perception of what you think the Democrats are “bitching” about have to do with what Bachmann has to offer?

You’re wrong, her husband’s actions are relevant. When a person chooses to run, enter or operate in public office almost everything that person does is scrutinized and rightly so.

The fact that some people don’t like it is immaterial. As far as I’m aware there’s always been scrutiny.

For Conservatives, asking “what time is it” is a gotcha question.

exactly, people feel the same way about obama

Has she repudiated her husband’s “reparative therapy” practices?

duh, people should feel that way about every president, that is why it’s important to ask about her social views.  she doesn’t seem to think its important to answer

No. LSD and group sex on Sunday night.

No. LSD and group sex on Sunday night.

Right, unless it’s “racist” to do that.

Bachmann on gays: “I don’t judge them … but God will when He sends those abominations to hell for all eternity!”

Hmm… let’s see.

Your “perception” of Bachmann, is just that she is “bitching” about the debt and Obamacare.  So I’m trying to figure out if you really can tell what “bitching” is, or if you only notice when people disagree with “your guy.”

So it seems that you can see complaining from Bachmann, but not from the Democrats.  To me, that means you’re not really seeing the complaining for it’s substance, only for it’s intent and who it focuses on.  In other words, it’s just ideology, not platform or tactic.

Typical politician..she can talk with both sides of her mouth..open or closed..

Washington as usual.. look to another.. I don’t want a submissive President!

This ditz will get the far right loon vote but beyond that nothing.

ImNotBlue 10 minutes ago in reply to Johnjguy’Right, unless it’s “racist” to do that.’

…You’ve wandered off. 

Would you like to state exactly what you mean or is this just some random comment?

So single parents don’t have families? There really isn’t much common sense or an awareness of the reality of our diverse society in your comment.

Judge not, lest your husband be outed.

In what way exactly has Bachmann “clarified” her position? It seems that all she did was put new words to the same radical views. She still doesn’t believe that gays and lesbians should participate equally in such institutions as marriage and adoption. That’s just crackpot thinking in this day and age.

What’s the address? :)

Tell that to the two gay dads whose lives could be directly affected by the policies of a President Bachmann. 

Tell that to the two gay dads whose lives could be directly affected by the policies of a President Bachmann. 

He’s only quoting her own words, friend.  ”Wives, be submissive to your husbands.”

lie and spin, lol you are funny

“My husband said ‘Now you need to go and get a post-doctorate degree in
tax law.’ Tax law! I hate taxes—why should I go and do something like
that?” she told the audience. “But the Lord says be submissive. Wives,
you are to be submissive to your husbands.”

It’s a quote! http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/07/10/michele-bachmann-s-bible-submissiveness-is-it-a-problem.html

I’ll supply you with the complete quote.  Quotes aren’t lies.

Michele on Satan’s involvement in homosexuality:
“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
identity 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.”

And this …
Michele on gay bondage and enslavement (but not in the fun way):
“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.”

And this …
Michele on the good old days when a gay on TV was there for you to laugh at:
“[Gay activists want to] make gays look good, because [the media] didn’t
always. If you’ll recall television maybe 15, 20 years ago, if you’d
see something about gays it would be an outlandish kind of an outfit, it
would be a kind of tittering, making fun. But that’s different now. Now
gays are made to look good.”

And this …
Michele on Fred “God Hates Fags” Phelps:
“I almost think that the gay community has hired this guy, or created this guy, to do what he does. He is their best friend.”

There’s more if you want them …

btw you owe me an apology for calling me a liar but I won’t count on that kind of integrity.

see the first one in you post, yeah i knew that and believed you, but the second link and black kids is a lie and spin job….so you discredited yourself

Not a lie.  Sorry.

it is a lie, because that is not what it says, maybe thats how you take it, but that does not make it true

Exactly how is a direct quote a lie?

How is a straight question and answer interview a hit piece?  You really are a dumbass.

The line of questioning. You’re not exactly the shapest knife in the drawer either, jackass. (ad hominem rebop)
 
Fallacy of many questions (complex question, fallacy of presupposition, loaded question, plurium interrogationum): someone asks a question that presupposes something that has not been proven or accepted by all the people involved. This fallacy is often used rhetorically, so that the question limits direct replies to those that serve the questioner’s agenda.

Out of context genius.

I’d tighten that up, Nature.  To be clear, I don’t think all conservatives are guilty of this but, a few are really milking it for all it’s worth and it’s grown tiresome.

Yes, along with the kids that love those dads.

What is being presupposed here?  Ms Bachmann’s previous statements are what leads the reporter here.

Agreed. If she wants to be the commander and chief, she needs to be in command, no less.

yeah I’m sure you’re referring to Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright.

Didn’t Bachmann just recently quit her very odd church?

Yeah, but Royal goes for that type of stuff.  Remember how he rails against Mormonism, because his Church tells him it’s wrong.  So to be consistent, I can’t imagine Royal going against a biblical quote like that.

I think in most ways that ship has already sailed.  Odd, she has’nt noticed.

Yeah, and my parents “made me” eat broccoli even when I didn’t want it.

Of course, after some time goes by, my opinion on the matter changed.  IOW, he encouraged her to do something, and she may have resisted at first, but in the end agreed.  Does she regret it now?  Was his advice wrong?

So saturday is still kewl, right?

MR. GREGORY: Congresswoman, my question is a very, is a very direct one: Will you vote to shut down the government over those riders?
MR. GREGORY: Let me get in here. I want to stick with the, the narrow budget questions. Are you willing to vote to shut down the government over some of these add-ons to these spending bills, to defund funding for the healthcare legislation, for Planned Parenthood, for the EPA?

MR. GREGORY: Nice to have you. You heard the chief of staff, Bill Daley, say that he’s optimistic that it’s possible to avert a government shutdown. Are you as optimistic as he is?

Why is Gregory obsessed with gays?

Actually, that leads to a different question. What does Obama have to offer as President? From the looks of it, nothing.

What if she wants to be the Commander In Chief?

Is it? This seems to suggest otherwise.

http://tinyurl.com/2elv7p

These issues were’nt discussed in this interview and are’nt related to it.  Do you mean in a previous interview with Gregory?

Actually, it should lead to another question; What do the other Republican candidates have to offer as President?

This is a primary battle, dipshits like you would just prefer who is the most opposite of Obama, not who would be the best President for America.

I have a feeling you would agree that who ever is the most opposite IS the best for America.

eXtreme, bro.

To be an effective leader there’s no room for her to be submissive to her husband and be Commander in Chief.  It’s a serious conflict of interests.   I’m concerned that she should be calling the shots, not Marcus Bachmann.

Gay couples adopt children now.  I’m sure that law varies from state to state but it’s already happened. Divorced couples where one parent is gay and gets a new partner are raising children.  I admit, gay marriage is not legal in everystate.  However, many gay people are also parents in what is for all purposes sake families.

She’s trying to walk back the crazy, but it’s a very long road given her profoundly homophobic beliefs.

She’s also a really terrible interviewee, trying to pound down the question by rote responses rather than trying to navigate a new view of the topic. This is not going to work for her.

If a question is too complex for her then it means she isn’t smart enough to understand it and give an appropriate answer. There were no presuppositions or loaded questions dipshit. He asked her questions about her previous statements and positions.

Here is my favorite photo of Bachmann being nonjudgemental.

http://www.minnpost.com/_asset/vqdl3u/mp_main_wide/BachmannRally452.jpg

You’re right.  That’s what happened in 2008. The left voted in the man that seemed the least like Bush, even though Bush wasn’t running and see where that got us?

Taking the ‘anybody but the last guy’ position doesn’t work.

Do you really not get the Phelps quote?

She’s saying that that guy is such a loon, in his effort to get people to hate homosexuals with him, he gets people to support them extra hard, just to combat him!  He’s the best PR homosexual groups could have, because people say, “Whatever that jack-ass is for, I’m against.”

Do you not get that?

I’d get right behind you on this….the moment that I see the MSM actually ask a liberal a hard question, ever.

Was her church headed by an anti-American racist, who she said was like part of her family?
Was her church headed by an avowed terrorist, who is disappointed that his group didn’t kill or destroy more?

Come back to me if either of those answers are “yes.”

Like Mezzo, you are not “smart” enough to see you are being manipulated, even after concrete textbook examples are provided. My original post clearly stated that the “line of questioning” was fallacious. I went the extra mile to allow Mezzo’s ‘cherry pick’. Mezzo, as far as the examples, my original post clearly states; “….another coordinated hit piece”.

As for your response, let me put this on your level, go F’ yourself. David Greggory is a dishonest SOB that manipulates children and useful idiot liberals. Progressive scumbag “journalist” Hahahahaha……

And that goes for “God,” too. We saw what happened with the last president who confessed to consulting “the father” for advice — and he didn’t mean GHWB. That was an unmitigated disaster.

I’ll agree with you to this extent: so far he’s mostly given us an extension of Republican policies — on taxes, health care reform, the wars. And we’re still in a hole. 

If he actually tried to stop mimicking GOP policies and actually lead us in a DIFFERENT direction, we’d probably be in much better shape.

Take your fingers out of your ears. You’re deluded if you think the media wasn’t relentless in asking Obama “hard questions.” Remember the flack about flag pins and Reverend Wright and the “bitter” comment and Joe the Plumber. Not once did Obama push back by calling any of these “gotcha questions.” Only conservative pussies are afraid to be asked questions that throw them off their canned talking points.

its not a direct quote thats how

LMAO

Yeah, and the only ones actually asking those questions were conservatives, and he answered with lame talking points that the MSM accepted and didn’t question.   He didn’t have to push back against the because the media were shilling for his election and the few who asked, he literally ignored because they were irrelevant.

Please show me where a liberal journalist asked him hard hitting questions and didn’t accept ‘uh I didn’t hear the sermons’ etc as an answer because I missed that.

Btw, for the record, I have no horse in this current race yet, and when I do, it probably won’t be Bachman.

Maybe the “Journalist” who wrote this piece could learn basic vocabulary like “solicit” before contributing further to the mainstream media tripe.

Hey, wait! That’s what Republicans do. Is he stealing a page from the Conservative play book? Funny when a “Con” says something they later regret, they accuse those who use their very words, verbatim, of being liars. Didn’t Newt start this new tactic? Yeah, yeah, he was on Meet the Press and said Ryan’s budget plan was “radical social engineering”. And the very next day he said anyone who tried to use his own words to describe Ryan’s budget plan would be lying. Isn’t that just about the funniest thing you’ve ever heard? Well it gets better, Republicans actually believe this sh*t. They now think they can say and do anything one minute and then turn on a dime the next minute and denounce anyone who tries to hold them to their previous position. It’s kind of like trying to grab water.
