Bachmann’s Husband Calls Homosexuals ‘Barbarians’ Who ‘Need To Be Educated’ And ‘Disciplined’
By Guest Blogger on Jun 29, 2011 at 4:18 pm

When trying to figure out where presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) gets her stringent, anti-gay views, you only have to look as far as her husband. Dr. Marcus Bachmann, who has described himself as his wife’s “strategist,” runs a Christian-based counseling center in Minnesota that has been rumored to offer reparative treatment for those looking to “ungay” themselves.

Just last summer, Dr. Bachmann explained his position on homosexuality while offering theoretical advice to parents concerned that one of their children was gay.

BACHMANN: We have to understand: barbarians need to be educated. They need to be disciplined. Just because someone feels it or thinks it doesn’t mean that we are supposed to go down that road. That’s what is called the sinful nature. We have a responsibility as parents and as authority figures not to encourage such thoughts and feelings from moving into the action steps…

And let’s face it: what is our culture, what is our public education system doing today? They are giving full, wide-open doors to children, not only giving encouragement to think it but to encourage action steps. That’s why when we understand what truly is the percentage of homosexuals in this country, it is small. But by these open doors, I can see and we are experiencing, that it is starting to increase.

1. So basically he wants to spank me?

C'mon Daddy!

[jefferson_dem]

4. Ohhhh, you bad.

:rofl:

[truebrit71]

14. Yeah, that's what that sounded like to me too...either that. or he wants to be 'disciplined'...

...by a 'barbarian' himself...

Methinks he doth protest too much...

[awoke_in_2003]

29. I thought I heard something rattling...

coming from the direction of that guys closet.

[Ikonoklast]

51. Please, it is no longer called 'Spanking' in Christian therapy circles.

It is properly referred to as "Administration of Aggressive Touching Therapy to the Posterior of the Subject".














They get 1000 Euros a session for that in Amsterdam...or so I've been told.

[Dulcinea]

56. Sounds like HE's the one who wants to be spanked!

By a big, burly man!

[HockeyMom]

2. Basically, she is a STEPFORD WIFE

who just spews what her husband says.

[RoryK]

33. Quite disturbing, isn't it?

From what I have read of Ms Bachmann, it appears as though she belongs to a church that teaches women to obey their husbands. If correct, then the obvious question becomes: Why is she running for president?

[TheDebbieDee]

3. Discipline! These people need lots and lots of discipline!

Hit 'em harder........they'll like it!

[CanonRay]

5. He wants to be an authority figure soooooooo bad

[flpoljunkie]

6. Matt Taibbi's Rolling Stone piece on Bachmann is a must read

Michele Bachmann's Holy WarThe Tea Party contender may seem like a goofball, but be warned: Her presidential campaign is no laughing matter

By MATT TAIBBI

JUNE 22, 2011

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and, as you consider the career and future presidential prospects of an incredible American phenomenon named Michele Bachmann, do one more thing. Don't laugh.

It may be the hardest thing you ever do, for Michele Bachmann is almost certainly the funniest thing that has ever happened to American presidential politics. Fans of obscure 1970s television may remember a short-lived children's show called Far Out Space Nuts, in which a pair of dimwitted NASA repairmen, one of whom is played by Bob (Gilligan) Denver, accidentally send themselves into space by pressing "launch" instead of "lunch" inside a capsule they were fixing at Cape Canaveral. This plot device roughly approximates the political and cultural mechanism that is sending Michele Bachmann hurtling in the direction of the Oval Office.

Bachmann is a religious zealot whose brain is a raging electrical storm of divine visions and paranoid delusions. She believes that the Chinese are plotting to replace the dollar bill, that light bulbs are killing our dogs and cats, and that God personally chose her to become both an IRS attorney who would spend years hounding taxpayers and a raging anti-tax Tea Party crusader against big government. She kicked off her unofficial presidential campaign in New Hampshire, by mistakenly declaring it the birthplace of the American Revolution. "It's your state that fired the shot that was heard around the world!" she gushed. "You are the state of Lexington and Concord, you started the battle for liberty right here in your backyard."

I said lunch, not launch! But don't laugh. Don't do it. And don't look her in the eyes; don't let her smile at you. Michele Bachmann, when she turns her head toward the cameras and brandishes her pearls and her ageless, unblemished neckline and her perfect suburban orthodontics in an attempt to reassure the unbeliever of her non-threateningness, is one of the scariest sights in the entire American cultural tableau. She's trying to look like June Cleaver, but she actually looks like the T2 skeleton posing for a passport photo. You will want to laugh, but don't, because the secret of Bachmann's success is that every time you laugh at her, she gets stronger.

8. that was a good article. so glad I subscribe

eye popping.

Oral Roberts Regent U law skule. That says it all.

[Maccagirl]

19. Definately a must read

Tragically, the people who should read it won't.

[woo me with science]

20. +1 nt

[Kind of Blue]

27. Good Lord, This should be an OP!

Back to reading. Thank you!

[awoke_in_2003]

30. Great article...

we laugh at this woman at our own peril- she is dangerous.

[blm]

7. In other words... Dr. Bachmann is a dominatrix trapped in the body of a manmarriedtoafundiewitch

.

[NJCher]

16. here's Marcus Bachmann

creepy looking bastard:




Cher

[yardwork]

9. Dr. Bachmann appears to be gay himself. He is truly pathetic.

[handmade34]

24. I am sure

you didn't mean that the way it came out... he is truly pathetic but not because he "appears to be gay"

:shrug:

[yardwork]

26. Since I'm gay myself I certainly did not mean to imply that being gay is pathetic.

He is pathetic because he makes his living attempting to bully and brainwash gay people into being straight. It's fairly obvious that he is gay himself but he makes a lot of money saying terrible things about gay people.

[QC]

40. He certainly put my gaydar on DEFCON 1.

Honestly, I think we know now why the man is so obsessed with homosexuality.

Can you imagine what surprises will come out, so to speak, if she ends up on the ticket?

[Bluenorthwest]

10. Bachmann sounds like a softer version of Donnie McClurkin

Obama surrogate McClurkin is infamous for calling for open war on gay people, because he says we are trying to kill children. He says we are vampires and the gloves have to come off. So while it is basically the same message, Bachmann uses barbarian instead of vampire and education instead of violent war on us.
It is a tired old message, GLBT people have heard it all, over and over. Atavistic bigotry is no better from one than from the other. Period.

[slackmaster]

11. I've met a few who WANT to be disciplined

:grouphug:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

12. Another 1st thug just like Palin's

[Ninjaneer]

13. What an authentically stupid motherfucker.

[Yavin4]

15. When He Says Barbarian, This Is What He's Visualizing

[woo me with science]

18. ROFL!

:rofl:

[vaberella]

38. Wow...look at that penis! Damn. Maria Shriver shouldn't have let that go. n/t

[phleshdef]

17. You can bet a President Bachmann would treat GLBT people in a way that reflects his sentiments.

I think a President Obama struggling with coming out for gay marriage vs civil unions is a good problem to have in light of this kind of bigotry.

[n2doc]

21. Maybe he and Sen. Vitter should get together

And act out his scenario...just for 'educational' purposes, of course.

[PatSeg]

22. And his clinic received government funds?

What the hell kind of doctor is he and why did Medicaid pay for treatments at his clinic? I sure don't want my tax dollars to support homophobic quackery.

[Hand_With_Eyes]

23. Gay 'treatment' ruins people

It destroys their sense of self worth.

[salinen]

25. translation

the only good gay is a dead gay. Or, if they're feeling a bit less "disciplinary", just round them up into camps.

[avebury]

28. He doth protests too much.

[Mimosa]

31. Creepy. Sounds like a dangerous fascist.

Look at a photo of him. He's ugly in more ways than one.

[Fire1]

32. That's hilarious!! How about his reparative treatment for losing

weight??!!!

[Wait Wut]

34. This seals it.

Last week someone (can't remember) said they were going to start looking for and interviewing the 23 foster children. When I heard that, I thought, "Leave them alone. They're innocent." Now...I wanna know what kind of damage these two foster "parents" did to those children. Pretty safe bet that out of 23 (28, including their bio kids) at least one was gay. Was he/she "disciplined" in any way that caused long term psychological damage?

Sick fuck. Burn in your hell, asshole.

[TwilightGardener]

35. Oh boy.

[Prism]

36. Hot n/t

39. We are not the ones who need to be educated....

those fucking backwords thinking ignorant knuckle-draggers are.

[LetTimmySmoke]

41. What's this "Dr." Marcus Bachmann a doctor of?

[NICO9000]

43. Douchebaggery?

:evilgrin:

[jenmito]

42. In his comments about "barbarians," I think he outed HIMSELF as being gay:

One word stuck out: "We have to understand: barbarians need to be educated. They need to be disciplined. Just because someone feels it or thinks it doesn’t mean that we are supposed to go down that road. That’s what is called the sinful nature. We have a responsibility as parents and as authority figures not to encourage such thoughts and feelings from moving into the action steps…" Hmmm...

[Politicalboi]

47. Not only that

He also said "When we were young, we ALL had urges". If you're straight, I wouldn't think one would have urges to have sex with someone of the same sex. That man is gay as the day is long.

[Tx4obama]

48. I heard that part on MSNBC today, but I don't know on which show.

I've been searching for a video that includes that part but I haven't been able to find it yet.
Do you remember where you seen or heard it?

[Hand_With_Eyes]

44. He is very effeminate

He has a very girlish voice and manorisms. I believe he is a closet queen. Sorry if that offends any of our gay friends, but I just have to laugh at gay, anti gay republicans. Especially when they are married to that intellectual train wreck of a woman.

[Pisces]

45. He screams closet case.

[Zambero]

49. He screams "Discipline me!"

That task must surely fall to one Michelle "Dominatrix" Bachmann: "Markie, Markie, you've been a very BAD BOY! Are you having those GAY thoughts again? Well take that, and that, you sick Barbarian... Call it being EDUCATED, Markie boy!".

[Ikonoklast]

52. You need some 'therapy'.

I'll schedule a spanking session with the Good Doctor Bachmann, and you'll see things differently.

[ClarkUSA]

46. In an aside, Bill Clinton said he could understand why Bachmann is so popular.

According to Lawrence O'Donnell, Bubba thinks Michelle Bachmann is so popular because she's so "personable".

Yeah, I'll bet he does. :eyes:

Leave it to DINO Bill to confer legitimacy to Bachmann's appeal and by extension, to her vile excuse of a husband.

I wonder if Paul Ryan has called him yet?

[Ikonoklast]

53. Bill never learns, does he?

Wonder if good 'ol Michelle planted a great big fat one on Bill's cheek, like she does to almost every man she meets?

[Hosnon]

50. I'll take one gay barbarian, please.

:evilgrin:

[gkhouston]

54. Hmm. Now we know why the foster kids were teenage *girls*. n/t

[PatGund]

55. Okay then....

I’m not going to say Dr. Bachmann is a closet case.

But I suspect strongly he could give us up-to-date weather reports from Cair Paravel
