Michele Bachmann Not Sure If the Gays Are a ‘Public Health Crisis’

by Jack Stuef  


Staring abyss Michele Bachmann appeared before Iowa social conservative group FAMiLY Leader, whose leader apparently once said, “If we’re teaching the kids, ‘don’t smoke, because that’s a risky health style,’ the same can be true of the homosexual lifestyle. That’s why I think we need to speak the truth once in a while.” So Think Progress, being Think Progress, asked her if she thought this too. She didn’t have an answer, probably because her brain rotted itself fighting off the gay disease she caught from a door handle some gays had sex with.

What a coward! She knows being gay is a health problem. Just say it! It’s almost like she wants to be president. Why is she suddenly admitting she’s ignorant of something?

Everybody knows conservatives should care about ensuring public health. When it comes to using that as an excuse to hate a group of people, that is.

FACT CHECK!
Mortality rate for humans since gays started being gay: 100%
TRUE: Gays are the death of all people. A health crisis to say the least. [Think Progress]

I wish she would hurry up and decide! I have to take my gay cousin to the doctor today and I do not want unhealthy juice to get on me.

BlueMonkeh April 13, 2011 at 10:44 am

That ghey juice can be tough to get out. Try some Wisk or Clorox.

MrsBiggTime April 13, 2011 at 10:50 am

That's not going to work on suede. Lenny Bruce found the same thing about snot; the only solution was to snot all over the whole thing. Same deal with the ghey juice.

WinterOuthouse April 13, 2011 at 10:53 am

This is good advice, I'll cover my self in a painter's tarp, belted to look fashionable.

Lascauxcaveman April 13, 2011 at 11:38 am

the only solution was to snot all over the whole thing.

Say, could you…?

No. We don't do that kinda work here.

WinterOuthouse April 13, 2011 at 10:52 am

Excellent safety tip.

widestanceroman April 13, 2011 at 10:54 am

Eh, just let it dry and chip it off later.

TheMeatmaker April 14, 2011 at 2:45 am

But it already smells like Clorox.

Dr_Zoidberg April 13, 2011 at 11:19 am

Wear gloves, hang a big sign around your cousin's neck, and walk 5 paces behind him.

WinterOuthouse April 13, 2011 at 12:15 pm

This. Is. The. Best. Advice. Ever.

ttommyunger April 13, 2011 at 12:00 pm

Unless you are from Alabama, should not be a problem. As you may know, cousins are waaaay fuckable way down south in Alabam.

WinterOuthouse April 13, 2011 at 12:15 pm

Jesus H Christ Tommy! You married your sister. What's wrong wich chu?

ttommyunger April 13, 2011 at 12:26 pm

We were just going steady, In never married her!

WinterOuthouse April 13, 2011 at 12:29 pm

Yes. That helps it be much more acceptable. Do your kids have no teeth and two heads?

baconzgood April 13, 2011 at 10:40 am

Don't smoke cigarettes, dope, or cock.

horsedreamer_1 April 13, 2011 at 10:42 am

This means I can still puff opium the next time I'm at the karaoke dungeon in Chinatown, Constanta, Romania. Good.

LiveToServeYa April 13, 2011 at 11:05 am

Doing all three at once would be *extra* bad.

DeeJayKitteh April 13, 2011 at 11:14 am

And let's not forget the dangers from second-hand pole-smoking! We're all victims of this public (pubic?) nuisance.

JustPixelz April 13, 2011 at 11:43 am

Sorry, wasn't paying attention. What was that last thing I shouldn't do?

keepitupguys April 13, 2011 at 10:40 am

You leave the gay mecca of the Midwest alone! All your door handles are belong to us.

BlueMonkeh April 14, 2011 at 8:17 am

Is that Minneapolis? Or is it Lincoln, NE?

ablington April 13, 2011 at 10:41 am

There is one of those gays in my office who sneezes openly. Cover your mouth, gay! The Normals might inhale the gay molecules flying through the air and turn into gay! I wish someone had asked Bachmann if Purell was helpful for this scourge.

simplyblue7 April 13, 2011 at 10:46 am

from what i hear gays don't like purely concentrated bleach…try spraying that in the office. Those that end up getting sick are the ones that are gay.

ttommyunger April 13, 2011 at 12:02 pm

Or use a dunking stool; works every time.

WinterOuthouse April 13, 2011 at 10:41 am

Well dodged, Michele. Let's just swear her in now.

DaRooster April 13, 2011 at 10:50 am

She is a friggin' GENIUS!

( Sorry, I meant genuine-ass)

Swampgas_Man April 13, 2011 at 3:33 pm

Can I just swear AT her instead?

MildMidwesterner April 13, 2011 at 10:41 am

So smoking equals being gay. Now I'm going to be even more confused whenever a British persons asks to bum a fag.

horsedreamer_1 April 13, 2011 at 10:54 am

& bum means butt, over there.

ttommyunger April 13, 2011 at 12:03 pm

My doctor asked me if I smoked after sex. I told him I didn't know…never looked.

northernbassist April 13, 2011 at 3:35 pm

"bum a fag" = OK, just asking for a smoke.

"fag a bum"= not that there's anything wrong with that…

SorosBot April 13, 2011 at 10:42 am

How is being gay a public health crisis, when they are immune to the most common sexually transmitted disease, pregnancy?

DaRooster April 13, 2011 at 10:52 am

Conservatives should be all for it… no 'bortions.

(I know, secretly they are all for it)

horsedreamer_1 April 13, 2011 at 10:55 am

David Crosby begs to differ.

WinterOuthouse April 13, 2011 at 10:42 am

I really think she is a pig fuckin' bitch. But who am I to argue a pandemic of this magnitude?

BlueMonkeh April 13, 2011 at 10:42 am

Swing and a miss!!!!! Coward.

(I can't believe there's a low point of crazy that even Sheley won't stoop to spout.)

horsedreamer_1 April 13, 2011 at 10:43 am

I like that FAMiLY LEADER uses the same font as REEL BiG FiSH: ALL-CAPS, save the letter i.

Pick it up, pick it up — unless it's gay, or aborted.

widestanceroman April 13, 2011 at 10:56 am

You know what else is all cap with one small eye?

BlueMonkeh April 13, 2011 at 11:15 am

HA!

smitallica April 13, 2011 at 11:31 am

Everybody's catchin' the ghey! Yeeeeaah yeah yeah.
Everybody's catchin' the ghey! Yeeeeaah yeah yeah.

JoshuaNorton April 13, 2011 at 10:43 am

That's OK. We know that Michelle and her teabagger coquetterie is a public health crisis, and that's all that really matters.

One_who_wanders April 13, 2011 at 10:43 am

I so want to see her in a debate.. Even the other Republicans will make mincemeat out of her (and Sarah). Seven Dwarfs, indeed.

LabRodent April 13, 2011 at 10:45 am

If Gay is a Disease then whats the Cure?

Arken April 13, 2011 at 10:48 am

A hot beef injection.

DaRooster April 13, 2011 at 10:53 am

An 80's band?

SorosBot April 13, 2011 at 10:55 am

Marrying Michele Bachmann? Wait that's actually just a placebo.

ttommyunger April 13, 2011 at 12:06 pm

Just hold one between your teeth 'till the swelling goes down. Won't cure anything, but it will take your mind off it.

fuflans April 13, 2011 at 10:45 am

a debate between barack o'bama and michele bachmann would be pretty cool.

BlueMonkeh April 13, 2011 at 10:49 am

I don't know, man. Would Barry wipe the floor with her or would he be so gob-smacked with her stupid that his brain would just lock up with a bad case of WTF?

WinterOuthouse April 13, 2011 at 10:55 am

He'd have to be rebooted. Contrl, alt, delete

SorosBot April 13, 2011 at 10:56 am

I imagine a struggle to not laugh at everything she says.

DeeJayKitteh April 13, 2011 at 11:17 am

I'm thinking it would be a lot like when Biden was preparing for his debate with Palin, and he had to practice not looking at her like she was a complete and total moron.

horsedreamer_1 April 13, 2011 at 10:57 am

"Do you mind if I call you Barry? 'Cause I have a bunch of one-liners prepared that rely on that usage".

BlueMonkeh April 13, 2011 at 11:16 am

Say it ain't scary, Barry?

LabRodent April 13, 2011 at 10:50 am

Sometime during the debate the word "colored" would slip out.

widestanceroman April 13, 2011 at 11:03 am

I fear he'd just find so much damn common ground so as not to be seen as insulting her, he'd end up looking twice as stupid as her.

franco_pinyon April 13, 2011 at 10:46 am

If you were thinking that America still had bright future ahead of it, consider this: of all the people commentingon public policy today, who is getting the greatest amount of media attention?

Michele Bachmann and Donald Trump.

Case closed.

finallyhappy April 13, 2011 at 11:57 am

This why we need to create two countries- the one with the bright future- and the south, Texas, and Iowa.

Doktor Zoom April 13, 2011 at 10:46 am

DaRooster April 13, 2011 at 10:51 am

Can you blame him?

slithytoves April 13, 2011 at 10:46 am

You know what else is a risky health style? Being an educated American in the 21st century who actually gives a shit.

finallyhappy April 13, 2011 at 11:57 am

yeah, we stress a lot over the general stupidity of a lot of the rest of the people in this country

ttommyunger April 13, 2011 at 12:07 pm

I've got a tip, Michele: let's get rid of these obesity programs that are trying to indoctrinate kids into the "healthy" lifestyle, whatever that's supposed to mean. Once teh gays get all fat, they won't be attractive to each other, and our fat kids won't be attractive either. Problem solved!

Texan_Bulldog April 13, 2011 at 10:50 am

She's a pander bear; she probably knew the dude wasn't from some crazy right wing organization. If Brian Fischer or Franklin Graham had asked her that, she'd have pulled a full Santorum.

Monsieur_Grumpe April 13, 2011 at 10:50 am

The fact that Michelle is out freely walking around among us is an indication that we have a mental health crisis in this country.

Monsieur_Grumpe April 13, 2011 at 11:03 am

I blame Reagan.

user-of-owls April 13, 2011 at 10:51 am

Something is very wrong here. She's actually looking at the camera.

Terry April 13, 2011 at 11:07 am

They hid the camera being a big fat campaign donation check.

Swampgas_Man April 13, 2011 at 3:38 pm

Judging by her squint, it's causing her serious pain, though.

johnnymeatworth April 13, 2011 at 10:52 am

Any word on whether Michele Bachmann's continued presence in the public eye represents a stupidity crisis?

simplyblue7 April 13, 2011 at 10:52 am

I forget is it Feed a gay, starve a fever? or the other way around? We need answers Michele!

mereoblivion April 13, 2011 at 11:15 am

Feed a gay OR you'll starve a beaver. Or summat along those lines.

BTWBFDIMHO April 13, 2011 at 12:10 pm

I guess it is: eat a Granola Gay, save a Japanese city.

bagofmice April 13, 2011 at 3:03 pm

If you've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell, is that partially gay?

facehead April 13, 2011 at 10:54 am

She's lost touch with her inner Santorum.

I'm sure her hubby can supply all the santorum she will ever need.

freakishlywrong April 13, 2011 at 10:55 am

Down fister is gay, therefore, down fister is a threat to our Nation's health. But so is denying millions access to affordable medical care, so that would make crazy Shelly gay.
Ta da!

And won't she just freak the hell out when they all sit back and enjoy it?

widestanceroman April 13, 2011 at 11:12 am

To be fair, some of them might not be sitting so much. Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see whether all her sons are above average (wink, wink).

Come here a minute April 13, 2011 at 10:57 am

You can tell Rep. Bachmann is lying because her crazy eyes are looking straight into the camera.

Terry April 13, 2011 at 11:08 am

You can tell she's lying because she's breathing.

weejee April 13, 2011 at 10:57 am

Oh noes!!11! That tape Jack found might indicate that teh Michele is learning to follow her handlers and stay on message. Oh noes, whatever will we do???? Is our Wonkette doomed by this glimmer of restraint?

Naaaaaa. Bachmann is still batshit crazy, just wait till she gets the tireds from a Prez campaign run. Our gal will rise and take the bait.

Another fact: Being born means you have a 100% chance of dying…so is life now a health hazard? I think the CDC needs to weigh in on that!

Speak for yourself; I intend on living forever.

OkieDokieDog April 13, 2011 at 11:03 am

I'd watch that video suggestion of where Bachmann says she's "Hot" for God, but I don't want to be infected by the stoopid God gene via the intertubes. You can't wash it out with the bleaches and stuff.

*Edit because what I wrote didn't make sense. Oh noes! I think I dun got infected with the Bachmann stoopids!1!!

Next, we'll see late night infomercials from the uptight crazytards promoting some kind of anti-gay spray. Call it "Lie-sell." "Just a spray a day keeps the gay at bay."

C'mon Michelle! How you gonna get elected if you don't make with the crazy?

mrblifil April 13, 2011 at 11:10 am

Just go to YouTube and search "Bachmann's husband" and you will find all you need to know about why this topic leaves her stumbling for words…seriously, if you haven't seen clips of the dude, you will be amazed. On the queer scale he is somewhere past the Gay Men's Health Center Chorus and Russ Douthat.

ttommyunger April 13, 2011 at 12:16 pm

I think they have nineteen or twenty kids. All adopted or some such, methinks.

Pragmatist2 April 13, 2011 at 11:10 am

You misunderestimate Michelle. It has dawned on her that she is getting very close to diva status and, if she plays her cards right, could become the next gay icon. Naturally she is starting to hedge her bets – do you have any idea how much money gay icons can rake in?

pinkiegoldsmith April 13, 2011 at 11:15 am

She's living proof that people can't take their eyes of a train wreck. Unfortunately, her train is running straight toward America and due for impact. Interesting when you compare her rhetoric to clips of a 1940s propaganda film, which this video does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXEKi4HS6GY

Hatrabbit April 13, 2011 at 11:16 am

"I don't have an answer on that" Her handlers should make sure she carries her stupid answers manual to every interview.

Oh I'm sorry, Michele. I'm getting all my second-hand gayness on you.

SheriffRoscoe April 13, 2011 at 11:34 am

Yeah, yeah, yeah….a gay guy walks into a room and everybody practically gets AIDS. Everyone knows that! Not everyone can aspire to be healthy with cigarettes and tanning beds, as in Boner's case; or Little Debbie™ snack cakes and deep fried twinkies, as in Huckabee's case.

randcoolcatdaddy April 13, 2011 at 11:36 am

Michelle Bachman's mental state's the only public health crisis I'm aware of.

smitallica April 13, 2011 at 11:39 am

So will gays now have warning stickers? And can I purchase a gay if I'm a minor? Will people be allowed to gay in bars and restaurants, or will they have to go outside to designated gaying areas? How will the FAA punish those who tamper with gay detectors in airplane lavatories?
You've opened quite a legal can of worms, Michele. You hateful cunt.

PubOption April 13, 2011 at 1:27 pm

How do the gay detectors respond to male flight attendants?

Michelle Bachmann is a public mental health crisis.

Poindexter718 April 13, 2011 at 11:56 am

She's clearly not ready for prime time: that non-answer's just going to piss off her mouth-breathing minions and make teh gayz bitchy too.

finallyhappy April 13, 2011 at 12:00 pm

That gay lifestyle- yeah, I see my lesbian neighbor taking her son to the school bus stop with the other(presumably straight) moms every morning. Then she goes to her office. Her partner, the other mom, is home when their son returns from school. I have also seen them at the grocery store and walking their dog. How do you stop wildness like that???

poncho_pilot April 13, 2011 at 1:47 pm

i bet they pay their taxes, too! and vote!

seriously, though: i never thought i would see the '50s happen again in my lifetime. growing up in the '80s was bad enough with that sumbitch Reagan in the White House.

Fare la Volpe April 13, 2011 at 12:01 pm

So did Dr. Marcus get all his gayness second-hand? Or is that just what she whimpers into her pillow at night?

She has to be circumspect about this as her husband is known to frequent the Minneapolis Airport men's room for inspiration.

BTWBFDIMHO April 13, 2011 at 12:20 pm

But the cure of a public health crisis demands public spending and health care plans! How?
Plan A: Tax The poors.
Plan B: Use the death panels agaynst he gays and blame Obama.

ttommyunger April 13, 2011 at 12:22 pm

Thank God for Michele. When I despair about my elected representation here in Dumbfukistan I think about her and I don't feel so bad anymore…..or any less….

Michelle Bachman and Ann Coulter would make a great couple.

So would Michelle Bachmann and Michelle Malkin! They could be marketed as "M&M–They melt in your mouth, not in your hand!"

they also melt if you throw water on them.

Rather than a plague, I prefer to think of gayness as a tsunami. A big, powerful, whirling, irresistible vortex that hits us when we least expect it, carrying us, and everyone around us, away in a white, foamy, churning mass.

Just my opinion.

owhatever April 13, 2011 at 1:17 pm

Why libruls should happy: Trump-Bachmann; Bachmann-Palin; Palin-Gingrich; Barbour-Romney. The Republican possibilities for losing the next presidential election are wonderful. They work so hard at it.

GOPCrusher April 13, 2011 at 1:28 pm

The Republican debates will be a televised poo flinging contest.

ttommyunger April 13, 2011 at 1:58 pm

I may even watch. Always enjoy low-brow slapstick.

"She knows being gay is a health problem."

Ha, ha, You really expect a Retardican to promote/agree on anything to do with Health Care?
She probably hasn't washed her vagina in years becuse it implies some sort of Health Care.

Once gayness is cured, its important that the vaccine not be distributed socialisticly.

ShaveTheWhales April 13, 2011 at 6:48 pm

1. I don't stare at her; why the fuck does she keep staring back at me?

2. If imma reading the TPM blurb correctly, this Vander Plaats schmuck "once said" that shit about two weeks ago.

3. The best part of the TPM interview is that MinnitKunt actually said:

BACHMANN: Um. I — I don’t have an answer on that. I don’t have an answer. Why don’t I have another question.

Why not, indeed?

BZ1 April 13, 2011 at 9:32 pm

Bachmann in a presidential debate would be a treat.
