Liberal Freak Show Attacks Michele Bachmann

The liberal freak show takes on Michele Bachmann.

By Judson Phillips

The liberal freak show is coming after Michele Bachmann. That is not much of a surprise. Bachmann is running a very disciplined campaign, encouraging conservatives and running with a conservative agenda.

But now the left is coming after her.

The left wants to use the gay rights issue against her. Bachmann’s husband, Marcus is a therapist and according to the left, he has committed a horrible crime. He used therapy to help gays who did not want to be gay any more change.

According to a statement released by the campaign, that was not an area of specialization of his counseling practice but would do it if asked.

Marcus and Michele Bachmann, according to Politico, have a history of battling gay rights groups in Minnesota. That is enough for the gay rights groups to go after her.

Gay rights groups going after Bachmann say that she is not “a reasonable mainstream candidate.”

There is more going on here than just a disagreement about gay rights. The gay rights groups are typical of all liberal groups. They do not want a debate. They do not want the other side to even be able to debate. They want to silence all debate and simply impose their will.

Most Americans do not believe gay marriage is a good thing. Most Americans do not believe homosexuality (which is only 1-3% of the population) is a good thing, though most Americans are tolerant of most things.

The left is not tolerant. The left never allows dissent. To the horror of Americans, Marcus Bachmann once referred to gays as “barbarians.”

Barbarians?

If you are a conservative you have been called much worse and usually in much more obscene terms, for being a conservative.

Gay groups have disrupted church services and other events of those who dare to disagree with them. Just a few days ago, a Federal Court issued a permanent restraining order against the radical gay group “Bash back” for disrupting the services of a church that dared to say homosexuality is wrong. This one church in Michigan is not the only event gay activists have disrupted. They have disrupted Mass in Catholic Churches, disrupted pro-traditional marriage rallies and other events held by those who disagree with them.

Gay rights activists are willing to harass not only those who participate in events they disagree with, but even go as far as to harass children. At a 2010 event, gay rights activists walked up to a seven-year-old child who was at the event with the child’s family and sneered at the child, “Is mommy raising you to be a good little bigot?”

In California, in 2008, voters passed Proposition 8, which declared marriage to be between a man and a woman. After the voting, gay rights activists persecuted people who supported Prop 8. In 2010, gay activists sought to kick a 96-year-old man off of a Theater Board in Oakland. He had served on it for it for twenty years but because he contributed to the supporters of Prop 8, they wanted him off the board.

Those who supported Prop 8 were physically assaulted, hounded, and threatened. When the manager of one Mexican Restaurant in Los Angeles gave $100 to the Prop 8 campaign, gay rights protestors surrounded the restaurant, pelting employees and patrons with vulgarities. Anyone want to bet nothing as tame as “barbarians” was used?

Going after Bachmann is simply another example of the liberal mob psychology. Whether Bachmann is our choice for the GOP nomination or not, we conservatives need to stand up for her. Whether you agree with her and her husband on this issue or not, we need to stand up for her. This is not about Michele Bachmann or her husband. This issue is really not even about gay rights. The issue here is the freedom to speak, the freedom to think and the freedom to disagree with the liberal orthodoxy.

Liberalism cannot stand a real debate. Liberals always lose those debates. That is why they always resort to fear, intimidation, violence and mob rule to achieve their goals. We cannot let mob rule win.

For this, we must stand with the Bachmanns.
