Michele Bachmann got an earful from an 8-year old gay activist.
Michele Bachmann greeted fans and supporters yesterday in South Carolina, the latest stop on her presidential-cum-book tour, but not all of the attendees were there to cheer and laud.
Take, for instance,, 8-year old Elijah. The shy elementary student, egged on by his mother, had a very special message for Bachmann.
Leaning in close to the congresswoman, Elijah whispered, “My mommy — Miss Bachmann, my mommy’s gay but she doesn’t need fixing.”
It takes a second for Bachmann to realize what Elijah has said. Then, after overcoming her initial shock, she shoots Elijah’s mother quite the icy, accusatory glare. She’s less disturbed by Elijah’s political message than by his mother’s role in the matter. This was a proverbial “gotcha” moment, with a kid as the trigger man, and Bachmann’s stare seems to say it’s sleazy, manipulative or wrong. But it’s no such thing.
One has to assume Elijah believes what he says — he loves his lesbian mommy — and though pushed, it was most likely for his childish shyness, rather than political opportunism. Even if it were, though, one has to remember that Bachmann’s uses her 28 children, 23 of them fostered, to push her pro-family rhetoric, so basically Bachmann and Elijah’s mother are playing the same game. Either way, Elijah spoke his mind to a woman who thinks his mother is demonic. That’s pretty brave, so kudos to you, kid.
Politics aside, the most captivating moment in this video is when Bachmann, after glaring at Elijah’s mother, snaps back to reality, putting on a happy face both the public and Elijah, whom, to her credit, she clearly doesn’t want to upset.

It is shameful for gay activists to exploit and manipulate a 8-year-old to advance their radical homosexual agenda.

What is way more shameful is a person of public influence using the media to spew public verbal attacks in a bullying way to denounce a way of life that was created before birth by God and USING GODS NAME TO JUSTIFY THE ATTACK………..reminds me of the KKK using a cross to justify their attacks. CRAZZZZYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

It is shameful for gay activists to exploit and manipulate a 8-year-old to advance their radical homosexual agenda. “Gay marriage” is an oxymoron, since marriage means “a permanent union between one woman and man.”
For 5000 years, “marriage” has meant “a contract between one man and one woman”, not some other random combination of humans because it feels good. That definition of marriage is the bedrock of human society. MB’s response meant that society should not endorse gay marriage by giving it the high status of “marriage”. Ignore the perverted and false “interpretations” of her comments by gay media bloggers. She remains the most principled Constitutional Conservative on the American political stage.
This was a particularly moronic screed on MB’s commonsense response and instruction to clueless gay activist students. The radical left, gay media no longer even pretends to report political news but instead feeds us radical left gay propaganda.
The argument for “gay marriage” is equally valid (and equally invalid) for 1 man-2 women and for 2 women-1 man; etc. The logical extension of allowing “gay marriage” is legalizing polygamy.
