Marcus Bachmann – NorthCoastBlog.com https://www.northcoastblog.com Thu, 28 Jul 2011 20:28:09 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.14 Marcus Bachmann off limits? https://www.northcoastblog.com/2011/07/28/marcus-bachmann-off-limits/ Thu, 28 Jul 2011 20:28:09 +0000 https://www.northcoastblog.com/?p=1781 Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) waves with her husband Marcus after she addressed a gathering of supporters to formally launch her campaign for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination in her childhood hometown of Waterloo, Iowa, June 27, 2011.

You know a presidential campaign has a problem when they start declaring the candidate’s spouse to be off limits. Michele Bachmann’s campaign seems to be reeling over the attention her husband Marcus Bachmann is getting for his “pray the gay away” therapy, and Mrs. Bachmann is now saying that the topic of her spouse and their business is off limits.

Just as a footnote, in 2008 Bachmann was more than happy to take shots at Michelle Obama.

When he sees Marcus Bachmann, the loony husband of anti-gay crusader and pro-default candidate Michele Bachmann, he’s compelled to make gay jokes. Marcus Bachmann is part of the bizarre “pray the gay away” movement. Unfortunately, we’ve learned over the years that some of the loudest anti-gay voices are in fact . . . . gay!

You have to watch this clip and then the next one where Jerry Seinfeld helps Stewart repress his urge to make gay jokes about Marcus Bachmann. Listen to Marcus Bachmann’s voice. Stewart’s funniest line – “He’s an Izod shirt away from being the gay character on Modern Family.”
