‘Reprehensible’: Bachmann and O’Reilly Respond to 8-Year-Old Boy Confronting Her on Gay Rights

Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann said Wednesday it was “reprehensible” that a mother used her 8-year-old son to confront her about gay rights during a recent campaign stop.
The 8-year-old boy, identified only as Elijah, was shown on video telling the Minnesota congresswoman, “My mommy’s gay but she doesn’t need fixing.” The video has been viewed more than 3.4 million times on YouTube since it was uploaded Dec. 4.
“This little boy was looking down at his toes. He obviously didn’t want to say what he was put up to say. And I just think it’s reprehensible when someone uses a little child to advance a political agenda,” Bachmann told CNN’s John King.
“That’s what was going on in a book signing. I’d never do that to one of my children, and it’s really unfortunate that this poor, little boy was used in that way.”
Bachmann reiterated her conviction that marriage should be between a man and a woman and said she is unashamed of that.

Bill O‘Reilly also blasted Elijah’s mother Wednesday, calling her “cowardly” and accusing her of hiding behind her son for political purposes.
“It was obvious that the little boy was coached,” O’Reilly said on his Fox News show. “8-year-olds don’t say stuff like that.”
O‘Reilly’s guest, gay rights activist Sally Kohn, disagreed.
“Kids aren’t raised in vacuums, they see the political discourse going around them,” Kohn said. “This kid probably sees his family, his mother being attacked by politicians like Michele Bachmann and no doubt he has a very clear opinion that his mom is a great mom and shouldn’t be a political football.”
“I think you’re living in the land of Oz,” O’Reilly dismissed. “I have an 8-year-old son…none of them are thinking about gay rights, and none of them would say, as this child did, ‘My mommy’s gay but she doesn’t need any fixing.’”
He said if the mother truly wanted to make a point to Bachmann, she should have said it to her herself.
“You say it lady, let your kid be a kid, not be a political commentator to a sitting congresswoman. I just think it’s appalling,” O’Reilly said. “It doesn’t help her cause or the gay cause at all. I don’t think you use 8-year-old children or any children to make political points.”

Posted on December 8, 2011 at 12:58pmThat makes no sense. I can speak and I won’t defend my parents on many things that they believe. Why do you have to believe the same things your parents believe just because they gave you birth? That makes no sense! You can defend them as for their safety… that’s something different. but defending their political, religious, or any other position just because they are your parents???
I thought that’s one reason liberals are so into the public school system, to get kids AWAY from their parents so they can re-indoctinate them from anything their parents taught them that may be “harmful,” such as a fairytale religion such as conservative, bible based Christianity, with Noah and his animals, and kids’ parents and all of their “backward” thinking. Yet, here you suggest a child should defend a parent “blindly” on whatever the parent believes as soon as he or she is able to speak?? huh? Or does it only mean a child should blindly support any parent who believes what liberals believe? lol

Did Michelle make an appearance at his house? Did he read her book? Does he even know who Mrs. Bachmann is? My 6 year old has no idea who the governor even is, let alone what powers they posses..This is a mother who doesn’t like Bachmann, and has filled this 8 year old with things even the kid can’t believe..”that’s the evil lady who says mommy needs fixing.”…See common sense, Do you have children?

Posted on December 8, 2011 at 1:27pmThats the only reason homosexuals even want children and that is to use them as another tool to make their points. Friggin sad man. Just wonderfull, another generation of “occupy types” comming to a town near you in a few years for sociaty to have to deal with, and feed, and clothe, and house, and provide medical care and whatever else they demand. And when these kids grow-up they will probably be un-employable simply because they have been used as a ‘walking and talking agenda’ their entire lives so they will be pretty much useless to anyone. Sounds rough? Well too bad, its a bit rough to obtain children just to push and force your way of life on others who unbeknownst to you could probably care-less what you or anyone else does with each other. I never cared if people were homosexuals, untill all of a sudden my worthless ‘gummitt’ all of a sudden started trying to force me to not just accept someone (when I pretty much did already) but start treating them better than anyother type of people or persons, and somehow extend more respect and rights and everything else to them more than others. Noone has the right to tell anyone else how to treat people, isnt that like racism ? Trying to force me to treat or like one type of person better than another, oh sorry I guess thats discrimination ( that R-word is so watered-down these days I forgot what it really means, my bad). I thought I had the right to like or dislike anyone I wanted to. Without explanation.

Posted on December 8, 2011 at 1:28pmWhether the kid was coached to say what he did, or whether or not he wasn‘t isn’t what’s at issue. His mother may not be broken but she is most certainly mentally challenged and morally bankrupt. H om 0 sexuality is a disease, it’s a disease of extremely poor choice.
I could personally care less if hideous h om o’s practice their perversion in the privacy of their own home, but keep that disgusting, and sickening practice at home where it belongs, and stop with this social engineering BS that does nothing but destroy the strength of the Nation.
Evil always wants to change times and laws and reduce absolutes to moral relativism to make their choice diseases “appear” less than the vile filth that it is. H om 0 sexuality is as filthy and degrading as pedophilia. See a h om 0, you see freaks like John Wayne Gayce, and the penalty for it should be the same as what Gayce got.

Posted on December 8, 2011 at 1:28pmUNFIT PARENT: When school administrators believe that a child is being abused by his parents, HRS will be contacted, they will come and interview the child without the parents permission. If after questioning the child they feel that taking the child is warranted, they can legally take the child from school and not even have to notify the parents until 72 hours later. But here…a whole bunch of individuals are seeing evidence of abuse caught on tape…..and nothing is done about it?
Has no one looked into the emotional safety of this abused child? This evidence of abuse is the same as seeing bruises. If the mother is coaxing her child to do this in public in front of cameras….it makes a person wonder… what she is coaxing him to do when no one is watching?
It is obvious this is not the first time the child has been shamed by the mother. It is obvious that the child is embarrassed to say what he is told to say, but he knows that it is less painful than the consequence that awaits him if he doesn‘t comply to his mom’s demands.

Posted on December 8, 2011 at 1:46pmYeah they would defend their parents in the sense of “My dad can totally kick your dads butt” to antoher eight year old.
Eight year olds DO NOT watch political debates, political commentary shows, CNN, Fox News or anything else where they would possibly hear any discussion of gay rights. Everything this kid knows about gay rights has been fed to him by his “mother”.
The kid clearly doesn‘t want to be there and clearly doesn’t want to say what he’s being forced to say. If he was really doing what your nonsensical explanation claims then he would have been screaming and shouting it and she wouldn’t have had to put her ear right up to his mouth in order to even hear what he was saying.

Posted on December 8, 2011 at 2:02pmYou know not always but sometimes Oreilly is right. Kids of that age don’t understand sexuality and certainly gay sexuality, they aren‘t wire and don’t think that way and it’s obvious when a parent states “you have something to say, go ahead” indicates that he was coached. The same thing happens when they visit Santa, parents are always prompting the kids with “go ahead as Santa” this is a conversation that they, the parents have coached the kids on.
Gays if you have something to say to someone, be the adult and say it yourself don’t use a kid.
Report Post »It’s estimated that 3-4% of the population is gay, why do we make such a fuss over it. I have the right to believe that it’s not an acceptable life style. So gays, live your life in peace but give us a break on having to accept it as “normal”, it’s not normal, it’s unnatural.

Posted on December 8, 2011 at 2:10pm“My mommy’s gay but she doesn’t need fixing.” The video has been viewed more than 3.4 million times on YouTube since it was uploaded Dec. 4.
“This little boy was looking down at his toes. He obviously didn’t want to say what he was put up to say. And I just think it’s reprehensible when someone uses a little child to advance a political agenda,” Bachmann told CNN’s John King.”
The sad, sad thing here is that a homosexual (Lesbian) was allowed to adopt a young child and destroy his life. This woman is mentally ill and needs intense psychotherapy to rid herself of her inclination for peversity, but she refuses to get cured, preferring instead to do as all homosexuals do which is to pretend they can‘t help who they are so they will be looked upon as victims rather than the perpetrators of much that is evil by destroying everyone’s life around them.
It has always been known that homosexuals can be cured, and it has been accepted always as a fact, until the powerful homosexual lobby…many of them within the psychological fields…..embarked upon a hysterical, intense campaign to change opinions. These psy groups today like everything else politically correct have been hijacked by fanatics.

“why is an eight year old advocating for homosexuality, or anything to do with sex at all..period.”
That’s probably the most poignant aspect of this entire incident.
No normal 8 yr old with straight parents is going to know enough about sex to even ask any kind of question pertaining to sex.
Quite a different story when an innocent little creature is adopted by a lesbian/homosexual. They learn all about aberrant sexual behavior before everything else. I imagine she has instilled in the little guy a hatred of all straight people who she has undoubtedly set him against which will mean he will probably rebel against society at large all his life.
Thank the gutless politicians for this. They gave the kooks, flakes and misfits of society special privileges in exchgange for their votes, and they use defenseless little children as further payment.

Posted on December 8, 2011 at 6:24pmI’ve raised six children past the age of 8 and I promise you that NONE of them would have known whether their “mommy or daddy” was a homosexual, a heterosexual, “gay” or “straight” when they were that age. Because their parents sex life wasn’t exactly common dinner dialog!!!
The very idea that one of my children would have WANTED to approach someone like Rachel Maddow so they could tell her “My Mommy is a conservative and she doesn’t need fixing“ is beyond any ”common sense” I know of. They wouldn’t even know who she is-let alone know what she says that might apply to their mother. Not to mention common sense STILL teaches us NOT to teach our children to talk to strangers.
That Bachmann was so tender with him, so repeatedly patient with him, was genuinely interested in what he had to say that she did all she could to “hear” him-including getting down on his level and looking him in the eye says soooooooooooo much about her heart and ability to connect with people-including a child. That his mother shoved him up there alone so she could “record” what she HOPED was a shocking political gaffe says just as much about her and her heart too.

Posted on December 8, 2011 at 12:27pmThe mother was wrong to use her child in this way. Now that that’s out of the way, please allow me to retort to the dumb responses we’ll see here judging by the comments posted in a nigh-identical article from yesterday.
1. Think children of gays grow up to be serial killers? Show some studies on it, please.
2. I highly doubt the mother here is teaching her child about gay sex. More likely the kid figured out, as soon as he entered school, that most of his friends had a mother and a father, and then found out that “gay” means you have two mothers.
3. Gays, shockingly, can have children. Through in vitro, surrogates, or adoption. They could also have been in a heterosexual relationship before and then came out.
I think that takes care of most of it. Now Bachmann can get back to important things, like complaining about bestiality being removed from the NDAA while completely ignoring the issue that it also allows indefinite detention of US citizens.

Posted on December 8, 2011 at 2:32pm30 years ago studies were all over the place and easy to find, they showed clear evidence of what causes most homosexuality. In the early 70′s though the gay community started terrorists acts against doctors, teachers, scientists, librarians, threatening them with loss on tenor, violence, name calling, public humiliation, if they didn’t drop their studies, forget about them, remove the books from the library shelves, etc. They spread through out the gay community to keep your mouth shut, deny at all costs that you were ever abused mentally, physically, or verbally abused. Even coached them on how to encourage their victims to deny it also. You now have to go to the stacks in college libraries and physically find the books, they aren’t online, google tried to scan them, and legal action was brought against them because the truth can’t be allowed to get out.
I remember a 20 year study of several hundred thousand children that went through the Florida CPS system, that were given interviews and almost 90% of those that considered themselves homosexual or bi-sexual also said they were abused as kids, compared to less than 10% of those that considered themselves straight saying they were abused as kids.

Here is a simple thought.
Take God out of the equation for a minute or just keep pretending He doesn’t exist. Your choice.
If you are so confused in your head about who or what you are that you honestly can‘t biologically or anatomically discern that a woman and a woman doesn’t produce children (without the help of a turkey baster) and that a man and a man will never reproduce children. Then you have something to think about now don’t you?
Note: I don’t care what science says that frogs can do.
So the best excuse you can come up with is that you were born that way? I can agree with that if you can agree that you have some bad wiring. BTW, I can think of a several bad wiring issues that do not allow for the adoption of children.
So it is safe to conclude that if a gay or lesbian struggles to understand simple biology and or anatomy. How can you understand that the boy was coached? That simply explains how you don’t understand that Mrs. Bachmann gave that boys mother the jackass look while being courteous and understanding to the boy.
