Nightline - Michele Bachmann's Family Business Exposed!

[VegasLane777]

The Bachmanns are guilty of psychological torture and human rights violations. Both of these lunatics need to be in jail. It is sheer idiocy that anyone should feel compelled to change the sexuality of others, much less make a business out of it that is funded by the federal government. Put these criminals in jail now!

[Bobbinelson1234]

she is disgusting

[OneAndOnlyBillyJ]

Who thinks that Marcus Bachmann looks like Chaz Bono?

[ninuxy]

Christian radical Reich Teanuts... this is what awaits you if do not purge these fools out of office, you get American Taliban.

[bationnation21]

gay's need to be educated.... riiiiiight let's try to convert gays and end up driving them to suicide great idea. Ehhh people like this make me fuckin sick. Why can't people just live their lives! Go ahead, If you wack jobs seriously want to think they are going to hell because of it then let it be! Whatever why does it matter to you!? I seriously don't understand! I'm bi and I don't bother people, I dont go out raping women, this is outrageous.

[freakingcat]

An ashtray has more brain that this woman



[zzllen]

Some realy sick people in the U.S.A.

[gorazd0]

That woman has an IQ level of three day old chicken or less.

[DerekWilliamsMusic]

what a spellbindingly medieval pair

[nicksnite]

Refering to the Herman Cain scandal, Michele Bachmann says there are no secrets to come out to haunt her campaign. Of course we already knew all about Marcus anyway.

[mfrank165]

does anyone else wish they could get away with punching michele bachmann in the fucking face?

[Viktir666]

Marcus Bachmann suffers from religious psychosis.

[devildirtstraker666]

bible people are a bunch of fucking assholes..........just leave the lgbt community alone religious shits........orientation is not taught only discovered

[mlonster]

full grown up with PhD.. " god created men's eyes to be attracted to women.."

HOLY FLYING BATMAN!!...

[lovemoviesful2]

Wow fucking retard guy, my eyes are attracted to what I like, not to everything.

[MountainMan19831]

RON PAUL is the People's Choice in 2012!

[MrBuddyHolly1]

her husbands flame meter is at about 500

[b52gf16c]

@MrBuddyHolly1 LOL I heard that when she and her husband have sex doggy style, she wears a strapon with balls so when they slap bags (he will feel in his natural envirionment)

[christinepeace]

If their clinic gets meda-kad and then uses prayer on clients doesn't that breach seperation of church and state?

[MrRex1235]

Ron Paul

YES HE CAN WIN

[sickboi1982]

This is whats wrong with are country. these christian nuts jobs sicken me

[bye0bye0birdy]

It's sad. Just sad

[Rustystone27]

I can see why she is so anti-gay....it's to save her marriage!!! My gaydar goes off big time with her husband, Marcus!!!

[realchica86]

this is so stupid, i think this woman needs to get the hell out of the closet and stop trying to get rid of gay people, as far as i am concerned she is a hypocrite and needs not to be running for any office, she seems to be bad news, her and her gay ass husband 

[OneDollarMercenary]

oh, you want me to go barbarian on your ass? where's my stoneclub at...

[rictusgate]

Well at least you guys will still have a First Lady even if you get saddled with Mrs. President Michelle Bachmann. This guy is as gay as a rainbow - I just wish he'd get over his misinformed views on morality and embrace a far superior form of secular morals/ethics. Your form of morals is dead and dangerous.

[VulgarisBambusa]

@Paahau But do they stay within the legal guidelines? Are there cases of psychological, physical and sexual abuse of former patients? Does this type of "therapy" lead to depression, anxiety, and even suicide as has been widely reported? Has it been widely discredited? I guess you would support any quack with an shady internet degree offering harmful, abusive and discredited "therapy" to emotionally confused victims because they are entitled to their view? You're a bigot apologist.

[kesla15]

"Barbarians" need to be educated? That man needs to be educated, both him and his wife are freaking morons.

[Chopin1974l]

@TheKmbt:....Furthermore, all of the services to which you refer, and are losing money were introduced by democrats. You contradict yourself when you then say they are wasteful handout programs. You really ought to make up your mind. Oh and Paul Ryan is essentially independent and Bitchmann is a teabagger. Get your facts straight.

[Chopin1974l]

@TheKmbt: You are either incredibly foolish or amazingly naive. We CANNOT lower min wage to only $2.00. That would fiscally irresponsible. It would mean millions of individuals could no longer afford to live and as such homelessness would increase. In addition more businesses would shut as people could not afford to shop......

[melvin6767]

My biggest question regarding this matter is; if this clinic has accepted federal funding for training, and accepts medicaid, but the therapy is christian based, how does that work? Is this both a charity and government program? Is that possible?

[DeathNote207]

u know why they say the worlds gonna end in 2012? well heres ur reason

[mynameisbecka]

can we pray michele bachmann away?

[tmmy773]

i know for a fact (i have read about personal cases) that "reparitive" therapy absolutely does not work and causes in some cases irreparable harm and even suicide. These quacks should all have their license revoked for being cruel and fully ignoring established norms. And why are they getting paid for teaching religion? If a person tries to live a "straight" life that is their choice only. Any type of forcible coersion is sadistic.

[smokin4dubs]

Dear God: Please let bachmann win the nomination so she can get crushed and disappear. Thanks

[Alan1029Smith]

It's interesting how the counselor in the undercover footage says that God "designed" man's eyes to be attracted to breasts, yet at the same time, looking upon another woman with lust is considered to be sinful. I guess it's okay to be lustful as long as you're straight.

[Chopin1974l]

@jmcguire30: Too true!

[thereallurker]

Bachman loves that government medicare money. That's for sure!

[Tallacus]

I hope her campaign goes down in a blaze of fire, I would rather have Obama rule over us for another four years instead of having a religious zealot like her in office and I really hate Obama so that's saying alot, she makes Obama look saintly

[TubeManTalk]

Does the crazy bitch (Michele) know that she is this “the cure” this closet queen took to ineffectually rid himself of his barbaric homosexual lust. We had a couple like them in our neighborhood and after 35 years of living a lie he hung himself. The wife was shocked to find out by the note he left, no one else was. Marcus would rather happy gay people hang themselves and let him go on living his lie. He envies out gays.

[boxers7x5]

@TubeManTalk

That's so sad. I hope they go after this Bachmann for the damage he must be doing.

[phillipmarch22]

Pray your way out of being gay? Good God, the Bachmann's are so way out of touch of reality! Marcus Bachmann is a closet homosexual!

[Chopin1974l]

@seahorse05: I caught that as well. He's totally a closet case. He's a little too fanatical over his anti-gay agenda. Me thinks the "lady" doth protest too much. They are both such fools. Reparitive therapy was banned in the late 70's. It's just disgusting that we care so much about a persons sexuality and not their rights. What has happened to this country?!

[jmcguire30]

@Chopin1974l Whats happened to this country? We have the largest population of christian dumdamentalists on the planet.

[seahorse05]

Marcus Bachmann said this as his opinion about a person being gay: "Just because you think it or feel it, doesn't mean we're supposed to go down that path."  Notice he said: "...we're not supposed to go down that path" He just outed himself. He said, "... we're ... ." He includes himself in the people that "think it or feel it.... ."The "it" in his sentence is gay feelings and thinking; being attracted to the same-sex as oneself. He's another repressed closet-case Republican. Scandal soon?

[Chris82362]

@seahorse05 I say "we" because my mom said it. Pretty sure one dr phil episode will clear the air.

[Psychedalien]

Probably they are gay themselves!!!!

[mitchthemich]

This woman is SICK in her head !!

[aunatrl]

Good grief! Planned Parenthood is being de-funded left and right, yet government funds support this crap? What are MY tax dollars doing promoting this half-assed religious mumbo-jumbo anyway?

[iluvgoldfrapp]

conservatives are getting real creepy these days

[mugrad25]

why are christians so repetitive?-"you're in the midst of the storm." ugh so unoriginal!

[thakimsodope]

she's lesbian and he's gay. 

[seiferganon]

Gays are barbarians? I wouldn't try to convert them. There's a chance they will used their daily power, "Black Dragon's Rage" on me, which will blind me for 1d4 rounds.  That would really suck.

[MetalDetroit]

Doesn't anyone find it the least bit interesting that prior to the 2008 election the Media had NO INTEREST in the fact that Obama was pals with someone who bombed the Pentagon in the 1960's and belonged to a church that said that the UInited States got "what it deserved on September 11th, 2001. And yet Bachmann isn't even the Presidential yet nominee and they are trying to dig up dirt on her..... ANYONE ?!

[seiferganon]

@MetalDetroit Irrelevant to the video.

[space4099]

Another deranged right wing nut, cook for president. Will these people ever focus on some other topic that might bring peace and tranquility to humanity.

[Wolfie3939]

If this idiotic woman gets in, I will lose faith in humanity forever.

[1andreamcd]

@Wolfie3939 Read Romans Chapter 1 (vs. 18-32) in your Bible, then evaluate the Bachman's Counseling in light of this new information. It will be more understandable to you.

[Wolfie3939]

@1andreamcd I understand, do not get me wrong. I understand what this woman is saying, but that does not make her opinion any less bigoted or ignorant. Nor does it make my opinion/statement correct.

Either way, Bachman's counselling is, and always will be, deplorable in my opinion. I don't see why my homosexual friends should have to suffer though her idiocy as a "leader".

Even my Christian friends believe this woman is bigoted in her opinion. I guess we stand at a crossroad now, don't we?

[beeblmeyer]

@1andreamcd

Making it more understandable that deluded people base their beliefs on a man-made fairy-tale?

I think we have a fairly clear understanding of that.

[Viktir666]

@Wolfie3939 I'll move to Canada and be done with stupid Americans if she gets elected.

[CSpannerz]

My goodness - 0:58 Hes had his head in a bowling-ball-buffing machine lol

[GimmieUtoob]

@LoveHolsters Oh don't worry, those same religious big pharma psychotropic pushing fanatics will label the escaped cat as an un-American socialist and a liar.

[rollsthepaul]

You don't understand; Michele is one of the good people who deserve special privileges. This is because she is a compliant minion, of the regime. Those other scum suckers,you know, those making less than $100,000 per year, don't deserve squat. Try to get the right spin on this next time.

[JeanetteTherese]

Living in the SF Bay Area my whole life has given me a very keen gaydar. My gaydar goes off the chart every time I see this guy. That doesn't happen much. And this is coming from someone whose ex-girl lived in the Castro... so I have seen GAY.

Just look at that smile. I keep waiting for him to scream "Thatssss FFAAAABULOUSSSS!" or break out into a Judy Garland number.

[EDTHEWATERGUY]

I am sick of these delusional people who claim to know what god wants.

[miamorphos]

For what it's worth, to the right of the screen I am being offered a video from Youtube entitled "Get Abs and Attract Gay Men." Hmm.

[MrBuddyHolly1]

@miamorphos epic

[RobertAdams68]

Ms. Bachman, please explain how your husband's "reparative therapy" business "deals with job creation." It seems that the only jobs it creates are for unlicensed "therapists," who want to line their pockets with medicaid cash. 

[greenbandit07]

Wait... Dr. Bachman wants to "discipline" homosexual men dressed as barbarians?

[VulgarisBambusa]

@Paahau homosexuality isn't a practice.Considering that that this type of "therapy" is condemned by every major psychiatric association, in fact they have said it is harmful and dangerous, and that they truly take their methods right out of cult brain washing programs, and that they get government money for this, and that their qualifications are questionable at best, and that this is a presidential candidate we're talking about, - why shouldn't it be news?

[Paahau]

@VulgarisBambusa When I use the term 'practice', it means a person who is a homosexual and who is acting out their sexual orientation. Bachmann has been quite vocal on her stand against homosexuality, as have most right wing groups and canidates. No news there. This counseling agency has qualified for Medicare apparently, as have other counseling agencies which are slanted towards their particular belief system & world view. Apparently that's legal, but also not the pt. of the video.

[PalabraVivaEficaz]

Jesus said that if His kingdom was of this world, His servants would fight. Being a Christian and a politician are NOT compatible.

[rg0057]

5:24 What is the "U-nine-ed States"?

[MySensualWorld]

Michele is an evil nazi!

[MaryJesusJoseph]

@rleary1 1. It's paid for by your tax dollars. 2. It doesn't work and can cause gay people to go into further depression blaming themselves because it doesn't work and can result in suicide. You need to find out about this before you post. If parent's don't want their kids to be gay it's the parent's problem and shouldn't be taken out on the children.

[MaryJesusJoseph]

@rleary1 One more thing- " I have 4 kids & wouldn't want them to be gay but I'd accept it because I love them." I hope none of your children are gay because I would hate for them to have to grow up in such a hateful household.

[zentopia7]

That voice, he is a total queen! (MISS BACHMANN)

[enemy2k10]

@Paahau News breaking is that he is living off the government teat and gets paid to do this therapy that is not accepted by any mainstream psychological organization.

[Paahau]

@enemy2k10 Christian counselors do not go contrary to what the Bible teaches on sins, sexual or otherwise. The warning is there when they put 'Christian Counseling' on the sign. Why the surprise? They took in 137,000 from Medicad or such, that isn't living off the govt. tit, and that was apparently old news and not the point of this newsbreaker. But what's the problem?

[BloodOfTheLamb1]

If you don't like gay marriage don't marry a gay person.

Pity no one told Michele Bachmann that. Now she has to take the fear and rage with which she regards her closeted quack of a husband and act it out on an entire race of people.

If America elects her, it will get exactly what it deserves: devastation.

[Truedantalion]

Dear United States, you have some seriously weird and downright dangerous people running for president!

I say they'd better take the "running" literally ... like Forrest Gump, when being yelled at "Go, Forrest, go!" - but please, when they start running, no one call "Stop". Either The Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean will rid the issue then.

[wickedenchanter]

Pray away the gay at $75 per session, paid for with tax money. Wow. If this isn't the height of absurdity. Sarah Palin is falling behind.

[itsasin1969]

If ther ar any boys out there who have had sex with Marcus,, hang on till after the rep prims, and then,, come out come out whereever you are.

[Chip12414]

Coming in 2012 -- FIRST LADY Marcus Bachmann ???

Heaven forbid !!

[mykelb]

Peddling bigotry and hatred through religion in place of science and psychiatry is the right wing's way of making money from their own religious bigotry and ensuring the suicides of LGBT community members at the same time.

[douglasokc]

she went to Oral Roberts University's Law School in Tulsa, Oklahoma......bless baby jebus and pass me the federal paycheck.........

[lasersquidnemesis]

Agh, the 20kHz shriek. Ouch.

[losarman]

Barbarians were very educated. It was Rome´s propaganda that said otherwise. So being gay I am happy to be called a barbarian

[speedx50]

@rleary1 i used to be ashamed of being gay, now im totally cool with it

[rleary1]

@speedx50 Good for you. I don't see a problem with what they're trying to do. These hard core Christians try to get into everybody's business. Usually to no avail. My best friend in high school had a drug/alcohol problem & his Christian parents send him to a Christian 12 step program. He committed suicide over a woman later in life. I think part of it was his Preacher Dad called the police & had him arrested for pot when he was 15. If you have parents that bad you don't stand a chance.

[MaryJesusJoseph]

@rleary1 In addition to taking government funds these therapies don't work. You should do some research before you post a lot of stuff that just makes you look ignorant.

[milkjamjuice]

Wait... if I wanted Christian based counseling wouldn't I just go to a church? Isn't that what they're there for? This should send off serious warning bells that Bachmann needs to STAY AWAY from pretty much ANY government position, simply based on Separation of Church and State. Also, this is just nuts.

[caspertjuuh]

Lol @ 1:37 I knew wrestling was gay

[PeyBar]

OMG! HOMO!

[rleary1]

@PeyBar Which one? John Becker, Marcus Bachmann or both? Becker looks like Evan Coleman's sister LOL!

[WellConditioned]

What sick people the Bachmanns are.

[51Shekels]

He's right Barbarians do need education, I'm just wondering when he's gonna start his.

[HenhousetheRed]

Bachmann, you crazy bitch, you will never be president.

[homerth1555]

You can see why Michele hates gay people so much, since her husband is a closeted homosexual.

[irvykinneas]

im so tired of these people

[TheTruthHurts9999]

Why the hell is this quackery receiving federal funds?? Give taxpayers their money back Michele.

Meanwhile, her 'man' Marcus sounds like he's about to bust out a Judy Garland show tune at any given moment. Apparently he needs to be first in line for that 'discipline' he's going on about.

[moochico100]

@TheTruthHurts9999 I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE!

[brianorlando]

Bat shit crazy Bachman!!!

[jackson23220]

Someone needs to check that "PhD"

[ISamuelII]

Bachmann is still a witch.

[warrenoc]

If this women ends up as your president , GOD BLESS YOU AMERICA.

On the bright side however, you will have your first gay president and his beard.

[choongd]

Hypocrisy makes good entertainment!

[LukeMingst]

Pathetic. How then does he explain the homosexual relationships between wolves, eagles and other animals that mate for life?

[Gordonisgreat]

What he says about gays applies more accurately to christians, especially fundamentalists like him, just because they feel it doesn't mean we have to go that way.

[disrxt]

Stop a penny of tax dollars from going to these people!

[isakechaos]

Bachmann is a disgusting barbarian, not gays. They dont cling to archaic ideals like the old testament like him.

[FogBuffy]

Not sure I get it. Can't comment on treatments because of patient confidentiality? Wouldn't that make it difficult to attract any patients? So they don't advertise either?

[thefranciswatts]

he is totally gay.

[FogBuffy]

"...designed our eyes to be attracted to a woman's body..."

WTF does that mean?!? Are lesbian eyes created differently? Straight women have different eyes too? Or men aren't created to be attractive?

[OeditpusRex]

@FogBuffy Obviously, Gay Eyes are created by Satan. Or maybe General Motors.

[csportmaria]

Marcus is a homo

[TitParty]

His address is 8669. Demonic AND naughty

[vicked914]

her husband iss SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO gay theres no way my gaydar is off hes a homo

[rleary1]

@vicked914 Michelle's husband makes Barney Frank look like Rock Hudson (oh wait, I don't think that's a good analogy...)

[whoo689]

Shameful. They REALLY think God cares if you like people of the same or opposite sex? WHY WOULD HE? If 'God' hated gay people or being gay, why would he allow it to happen?? Think about THAT one, fundies.

[ZarlanTheGreen]

@whoo689 Dude, have you READ the bible?

He's an asshole, that's why!

I mean seriously, you're supposed to be put to death if you wear clothes of two different kinds of fabric (like cotton and polyester) or if you are an unruly child.

...and if a man has sex with an animal, he's to be put to death ...as well as the animal.

WTF did the animal do to deserve death?

...and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

[AndroidsDontDance]

@whoo689 Many Christians I've used that argument on says that God gave people free will to choose what they want. So he gave people free will to choose (and obviously being gay isn't a choice) but condemns if you make the wrong choice. That's not free will.

[global001]

@AndroidsDontDance Yes, we all have free will to not do things which hurt others & we know are wrong however he didn't give us free will in choosing sexual orientation. Funny though how Christians choose to use their free will to hate gays & think they won't be punished for persecuting god's children who were created with a different sexual orientation to themselves.

[global001]

@whoo689 Christians believe that god created everything & everyone on earth so therefore he also created gays & bisexuals. Question really is why would god hate people for being the very person he created them to be? Logically he wouldn't & doesn't, its just the men who wrote the bible did. Nothing more, nothing less. being gay isn't a choice however choosing to hate them is.

[shalcall]

@global001 Actually, and please note that I don't agree this, their thinking is that God did NOT create anyone gay. That being gay is a choice, just like choosing to commit adultery. I find that in many cases that the reason conservative men think that it is a "choice" is because they are actually gay. I didn't choose to be hetero. My penis gets hard when I see a sexy lady. Men that get hard when they see a sexy man are not making a "choice." They're just gay.

[assgoblin2damax]

@whoo689 That's the problem, fundies don't think.

[GimmieUtoob]

@whoo689 I'm an agnostic who's going to play the devil's advocate for a moment and give you the fundamentalist answer to your question. God created humans with freewill while at the same time expecting obedience to His moral word. From this freewill is the possibility for humans to be disobedient and commit evil. This is a possibility Lucifer tries exploiting to collect human souls for the purpose of spiting God for Lucifer's fall from grace. Gays therefor "choose" to be evil in defiance of God.

[Wolfie3939]

@GimmieUtoob But being gay is not a choice. It is a biological factor which is built in. Attraction occurs in a part of the brain which is not controlled, it just happens, a bit like how the brain sends signals for you to inhale or exhale. It is something that you do unconsciously, therefore, no longer a choice. If you wish to get into the biochemical factors, I suggest doing some hard reading. If one cannot simply 'stop breathing' then one cannot simply 'stop being gay'. -c-

[Wolfie3939]

@GimmieUtoob It is also suggested that sexual orientation is also a chromosomal thing as well, making it a part of their biological structure or design. This is coming from someone who studies science (more specifically biology and chemistry) very seriously.

[ExplorationB]

@GimmieUtoob But i'm an Atheist who along with my parents and all other friends and family who deny the existence of a God will also be going to hell. Ultimately it is up to God (according to the christian scripture) to decide who will go to heaven or Hell, Christianity is only a way to secure salvation through Christ... according to my old Pastor.

[GimmieUtoob]

@ExplorationB Yes, and as someone who is atheist in practice and agnostic in principle, my fate is the same as yours. Welcome to the bandwagon of the eternally damned; a carnival ride for the billions of people Christians arrogantly and naively condemn. It seems like peanuts then, doesn't it, to split hairs over who's gay and who's strait when entire pie portions of the human species is doomed? Apparently not; Christians will keep at it, out of what they call their "concern for our salvation."

[ExplorationB]

@GimmieUtoob I'll open up an ice water stand and make a killing. You get freebies. Funny how their concern for salvation based on God's wishes seem to always coincide with their personal agendas. When a xtian friend of mine said "I was sitting with God the other day and he said to me, I should accept my Gay room mate." I thought "Wouldn't common sense tell you to do that?" apparently not.

[GimmieUtoob]

@ExplorationB Strange, I would have guessed the Christian perspective to be that one's ultimate eternal fate is in the hands of the individual; God provides instruction and open arms, and one either embraces or rejects it. In any case, I suppose you could say it all depends on God's standards, yes. If God is a douche bag and can't let a grudge against Adam and Eve go, then yes people have to contend with original sin or burn forever. Kinda makes you wonder how God is benevolent doesn't it?

[ExplorationB]

@GimmieUtoob He always has the option to flood it all and start all over again. WAIT! Making changes to stop climate change would put an end to that plan... wait a second...

[GimmieUtoob]

@ExplorationB Oh dear! Mortal actions preventing divine intervention?! Say it isn't so! Lol

[GimmieUtoob]

@ExplorationB Your old Pastor wasn't quite as specific then as many others. The Christian sales pitch is that an embrace of Jesus is the ONLY way to secure salvation. I've seen weekend retail ads with better marketing angles.

[skyemcleod1]

@whoo689 AMEN!! PREACH! Thankx! THAT is what people need to hear. & God help us if Bachman becomes prez! My kid says "Mom can we move to Ireland if she wins?!" In our family we are Catholics not crazy fundis. A LOT of Christians of all types support gay rights,so they should speak up. I do speak my mind. Michelle reminds me of a Stepford wife.

Plus her unhealthy-fat doctor/husband seems a little TOO interested if you ask me. Thankx for the post.

[SeaWolfe59]

@whoo689

Yes, just like God allowed people to be pedophiles too...right? Come on...its not about the person, its about the ACT. We all ultimately have a CHOICE in our behaviors. Think about that one. And, btw, I think using labels like "fundies" is hateful and disrespectful. I think its shameful to sink to name-calling. You may FEEL strongly about your opinion, but you should CHOOSE to express it in a reasonable way. Dont you think?
