Marcus Bachmann

-Headline of the Day-
"The Barbarian Defense: Marcus Bachmann, Allies Say Embarrassing Tape Is A Fake."

Marcus Bachmann is the TOTALLY NOT GAY husband of Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, so it only makes sense that the DEVIL WOULD ATTACK HIM with scandalous evidence that he's just an asshole.

See, back in 2010, Marcus was on a wingnut radio show called Point of View, where he said that gay people were barbarians who needed a spanking. Or something like that. Who even knows?

And who even cares? Because the tape of that interview is a SATANIC LIE aimed at bringing down Michele Bachmann's candidacy -- which is the only thing standing between us and the Apocalypse.

"Bachmann said that someone must have doctored the recording of the interview, in which he addressed child discipline as well as homosexuality and sex education," according to a report in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

So, is someone out there trying to make the Bachmanns seem homophobic?

Yeah, like they'd really have to do that. (Talking Points Memo)
