"I'm all for individuals being able to freely express an opinion. And I understand that it's important to play to your audience. But these are no mere opinions, and Bachmann is no mere individual. And this latest incident isn't Bachmann's first foray into the arena of blatant homophobia. What Bachmann is doing is presenting an erroneous and incendiary scenario as truth. We've heard it before, but what makes this instance all the more disturbing is the simple fact that Bachmann isn't some washed-up 1950s-beauty-pageant contestant, nor is she some huckster televangelist. Bachmann is a member of the Congress of the United States."Oh and for the record, Tom Emmer, her likely successor - not much of an improvement there.
