Hyperbole.

Have you ever listened to a word this president has said? I don't think you have otherwise you NEVER would've written that. This is probably the most factually UNTRUE thing I have read on here.

This reads as an assertion that the Tea Party is made up of white Christian males. You surely don't mean to assert that, do you?

I don't support Michelle Bachmann's presidential bid but if you listen to what she really said in that tape, she said, "It is a part of Satan, to say this is "gay. It is anything but "gay". I did not hear her condemn anyone, nor did she say that gay people are a part of Satan. In fact, she went on to say, "We need to have profound compassion for anyone who is dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders."

Most of the admitted gays here on CD seem to have fully accepted themselves as gays but I would find it hard to believe that every single one of them reached that point without some struggle within themselves. Furthermore, probably the only gay people she has had any real contact with are those very ones who are still struggling, who are going through their own personal hells trying to be something they are not and have come to the Bachmann clinic seeking help. She does have, what I consider to be, an unrealistic view of homosexuality but lots of people share that view.

A better question might be.
Should americans believe that politicians are a part of satan?
I am no Bible thumper but its not difficult to draw a conclusion that most politicians are self serving scum.

The Bachmann campaign is a side show distraction that will quickly run its course. At this point, I believe Perry is a much bigger threat.

A quote from Bachmann:

‘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.’
She added: ‘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.’
