OH BOY, Take note you gay bullies.

[b] [size=4]Michele Bachmann Claims Gay People Have 'Bullied The American People'[/size][/b]

[color=#333333][font=Georgia, Century, Times, serif][size=4]Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is [/size][/font][/color][url="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/michele-bachmann-laments-gay-community-have-so-bullied-american-people"]still not pleased[/url][color=#333333][font=Georgia, Century, Times, serif][size=4] with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's (R) decision to veto SB 1062 late last month. [/size][/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Georgia, Century, Times, serif][size=4]In an interview with conservative radio host [/size][/font][/color][url="http://larslarson.com/"]Lars Larson [/url][color=#333333][font=Georgia, Century, Times, serif][size=4]during last week's Conservative Political Action Conference, Bachmann said the downfall of the bill, which would have allowed businesses to refuse service to gay individuals on religious grounds, illustrated how LGBT activists have "bullied" voters and politicians.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#333333][font=Georgia, Century, Times, serif][size=4]
"There's nothing about gays in there. But the gay community decided to make this their measure," Bachmann said. "I think the thing that is getting a little tiresome, the gay community, they have so bullied the American people, and they've so intimidated politicians. The politicians fear them, so that they think they get to dictate the agenda everywhere."[/size][/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Georgia, Century, Times, serif][size=4]
Bachmann said, however, that liberals likely wouldn't attempt to change the U.S. Constitution to "take away" religious rights because "activist judges" and President Barack Obama will simply ignore the document instead.[/size][/font][/color]

    I don't have much to say on the actual topic, but I think the word "bully" is one of the more over-used and mis-used words in our society today. We're really weakening what it means to bully. Pretty soon, bullying will be akin to not holding the door open for someone.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    I think Ms. Bachmann needs to pay attention. Isn't 'Dancing With The Stars' a big hit in America?

    That is true......... although how deceitful said stupid person is negates that somewhat. The public is definitely dumb a lot of the time, but it's hard for them to make good decisions when candidates are lying through their teeth in order to get elected. There should be consequences for doing that IMO, beyond not getting reelected.
    (not that this counts for Bachman's case in particular. It was crystal clear how fucking crazy she is when she ran, and the public still voted for her in some kind of mindless frenzy of the day).

    it was no secret that this woman was off her rocker when she ran the first time.

    didn't she win a straw poll or primary or something when she ran for the presidency? i think she was frontrunner in the gop primary race at one time....

    yikes...

    Gay, but I never gave a shit.

    He just seemed like a sweet, somewhat hurt, gentle, and extremely talented man.

    His was (continues to be) one of the purest and most beautiful voices I have ever heard.

    Anybody see that video George Takei posted about homophobes being asked to hug gays? I think Bachmann owes Mr. Takei a hug... and millions of gay people an apology.

    To play devils advocate here, I can possibly understand what maybe she meant by her statement. I'm just assuming what she possibly might have wanted to point out; it is becoming a little ridiculous that now everything is about gay rights. It's the new racial issue. An example is Sam Adams had to pull sponsorship to the Boston St Patricks day parade due to a large organized GLBT outcry. Apparently the parade organizers denied a GLBT rights float in the parade. I've never seen St Patricks day as a day about sexuality or lifestyle. For the GLBT to turn it into one, I think was wrong. If what her point was is things like that, I could agree with her. If not, then I have no idea what she means by saying that. Just a different view point, I support equal rights for all, but I do despise interest groups using irrelevant situations to push their agendas.

    well if gay people will not fight for equality in the eyes of the law, nobody else will.

    if you view that as bullying, then i don't know what to tell you. we live in an age when we should be figiting for equal rights and equal protections for all people instead of complaining about them trying to gain those equal rights and equal protections.

    It's called putting your money where your mouth is. They "manned" up and figured it out, and they will get the rights they deserve.

    It must have been so despicable when the black special interest group used irrelevant situations like lunch counters and public pools to push their agenda.

    I know you said you were playing devil's advocate, so am not sure you actually believe what you said here, but I do not understand why you might think any human rights issue has become "a little ridiculous" because it's in the forefront of national attention. How else do you think change like this happens?? Do you think change would occur at the rate it is if the issue remained on the back burner? Issues like this aren't ones where people should be subtle and patient. They need to be up in people's faces for effective change to happen NOW. No message is too strong when it comes to achieving human rights IMO, be it about race or sexual orientation.

    The term bullying in this case is so fucking offensive i can hardly stand it. It suggests that something bad or wrong is being "forced" upon people.... Um, how fucking backwards is that, considering that anti-gay rights advocates have been trying to bully (and shame and terrify and punish and attack and murder) gay people into denying their sexual orientation and who they can love for centuries. I think it's pretty clear who the bullies are in this scenario, and it ain't gay people.

    I wonder if Ms. Bachmann was around in 1964 if she'd complain about the black people bullying us into considering them as people.

    I'm not taking away from any equality or anyone's rights. The example I used, St Patricks day, has nothing to do with sexuality. It's not a heterosexual event, it's not a homosexual event. For it to have become an issue concerning gay rights by an activist group, I think was completely wrong and off base. Not everything has to do with gay rights, and sometimes they try to make things about gay rights. That's the point I was making, and possibly what Bachman might have intended.
