Now, do you accept that proposition?

Of course you do.  How could you possible argue otherwise.

So then...

WHERE IS THE 24/7 MEDIA OUTRAGE OVER MICHELE BACHMANN'S HUSBAND — ON AN ACTUAL TAPE (not an imaginary one like the "whitey" tape) saying GAYS are BARBARIANS who should be DISCIPLINED and EDUCATED?  You can HEAR him TALK on the tape.  It's HIM!  He's SAYING these things.  

So, who IS this homophobic clown?

Dr. Michael Bachmann is president of Bachmann & Associates, a Christian counselling firm based in Lake Elmo and Burnsville - two cities around 30 miles apart in Minnesota.

He has been a clinical therapist for more than 20 years after studying at Winona State University in Minnesota, Regent University in Virginia and Union Institute and University in Ohio.

The couple have been a tight unit ever since bonding over their Christian faith and political opinions at college - and Dr Bachmann has previously described himself as his wife’s ‘strategist’.

They have raised five children and 23 foster children together. GOP veteran Ron Carey told The Daily Beast that the only two people she talks to as insiders are Dr Bachmann and her son Lucas.

Dr Bachmann describes his ‘personal mission statement’ as follows: ‘I believe my call is to minister to the needs of people in a practical, effective, and sensitive way. Christ is the Almighty Counsellor.’

He holds particularly strong views on homosexuality and has previously said ‘barbarians’ need to be ‘disciplined’, ‘educated’ and people in authority should ‘not encourage such thoughts and feelings’.

The comments made in a radio interview come despite his statement to a newspaper that if a gay person comes to his clinic ‘and they want to stay homosexual, I don’t have a problem with that’.

His views came before his wife’s statement in a Fox News interview earlier this week, saying she believes in constitutional amendments to see marriage between a man and a woman only.

So, again I ask... WHERE IS THE 24/7 MEDIA OUTRAGE OVER THIS???  How is THIS less evil that Michelle Obama being accused of saying something she never said?  How is THIS less "newsworthy" that Obama's preacher saying something that Obama never heard in person and didn't know about until the 24/7 media coverage started?
 
Why have I been watching MSNBC all day and have heard NOTHING about this?
 
Not a WORD about this on Fox!
 
Not a WORD about this on CNN!
 
Could there be, oh, I don't know, some sort of DOUBLE STANDARD for the spouses of BLACK candidates and the spouses of WHITE candidates?  It is a HORRIBLE THING, the media says, when the wife of a BLACK candidate is rumored to have referred to white folks as "Whitey" although she never did and no tape PROVING she ever did has been produced.  But it is OKEE DOKEY when the HUSBAND of a NICE WHITE LADY running for President refers to Gay Folk as "Barbarians" who need to be "Disciplined" and "Educated."
 
Could there be a more glaring example of the double standard?  Obama is the "Angry Black Man" for daring to tell Congress to "get its work done."  His wife is the "Angry Black Woman" for being ALIVE at a time a RUMOR is going around about something she NEVER SAID!  But Michele Bachmann is NOT a religiofascist homophobe married to a religiofascist medical hack who thinks you can JESUS the "gay" out of someone.
 
The media.  Honest to God.  It makes me sick.
