I have been amazed over the last several weeks of how often Michelle Bachmann ads appear on sites that do not make much sense for her. Any gay person or gay supportive person in their right mind would not click on these ads. (Unless of course they just want to cost her campaign the $0.20 clicking on the ad costs it.) I have seen her ads on this site, Bilerico, Youtube movies that are gay supportive, and many more places. In fact her ads are by far the most frequent ads I see on the web.
What is it that makes her campaign think that advertising on the gay sites is doing her any good?
In case you are not familiar with her, here are some of Michelle Bachmann’s choice quotes.
On gay marriage: “This is probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last, at least, thirty years. I am not understating that.” — Senator Michele Bachmann, appearing as guest on radio program “Prophetic Views Behind The News”, hosted by Jan Markell, KKMS 980-AM, March 20, 2004.
“Many teenagers that come in should be paying the employer because of broken dishes or whatever occurs during that period of time. But you know what? After six months, that teenager is going to be a fabulous employee and is going to go on a trajectory where he’s going to be making so much money, we’ll be borrowing money from him.” —Michele Bachmann, 1/26/05, explaining why teenagers should pay employers for the privilege of working instead of receiving minimum wage.
”Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn’t even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas”
”And what a bizarre time we’re in, when a judge will say to little children that you can’t say the pledge of allegiance, but you must learn that homosexuality is normal and you should try it.”
”Normalization (of gayness) through desensitization. Very effective way to do this with a bunch of second graders, is take a picture of ‘The Lion King’ for instance, and a teacher might say, ‘Do you know that the music for this movie was written by a gay man?’ The message is: I’m better at what I do, because I’m gay.”
“That’s what you had here in Iowa: black-robed masters,” Bachmann said. “They are not our masters. They are not our morality. They are not put there to make the decisions.”
“That’s what you had here in Iowa: black-robed masters,” Bachmann said. “They are not our masters. They are not our morality. They are not put there to make the decisions.”
“That’s what you had here in Iowa: black-robed masters. They are not our masters. They are not our morality.” Referring to the Iowa judges who declared the ban on same sex marriage violated the constitution in that state.
