Michelle Bachmann says "Gays have bullied the American people"

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is still not pleased with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's (R) decision to veto SB 1062 late last month.

In an interview with conservative radio host Lars Larson during last week's Conservative Political Action Conference, Bachmann said the downfall of the bill, which would have allowed businesses to refuse service to gay individuals on religious grounds, illustrated how LGBT activists have "bullied" voters and politicians.

"There's nothing about gays in there. But the gay community decided to make this their measure," Bachmann said. "I think the thing that is getting a little tiresome, the gay community, they have so bullied the American people, and they've so intimidated politicians. The politicians fear them, so that they think they get to dictate the agenda everywhere."

Bachmann said, however, that liberals likely wouldn't attempt to change the U.S. Constitution to "take away" religious rights because "activist judges" and President Barack Obama will simply ignore the document instead.

"He's a lawless president who's violating the Constitution with every executive order," Bachmann said of Obama. "Right now, there's a terrible intolerance afoot in the United States, and it's against people who hold sincerely held religious beliefs."

The congresswoman, who is set to retire after this congressional session, has previously dismissed the issue of school bullies targeting gays.

"That's not a federal issue," Bachmann said in 2011.

It's scary to think about the fact that people actually voted for someone who is so stupid.

Just saw the movie "saved!" Its a great christian satire showing how all people are the same but the scary thing is how accurately it portrayed people like bachman

It's scary to think that someone so stupid can come so far in our modern day society.

To be totally honest, I think she's only gotten so far because of her looks. As much as I disagree with her I do admit she's probably one of the most attractive politicians ever if you take into account she's like 60. When she was 20-30 she was probably smoking.

I am not surprised by this.

I guess that could be an argument for a new law. Politicians shouldn't be allowed to appear in public. We should only be able to hear their voices. :P

Nah, the only reason she came this far is because the district she's in is super conservative. I'm just glad she's finally leaving soon.

Not in this case, but in some cases I do believe calling people bullies is reverse bullying

More scary - they've voted for her 4 times so far. Though fortunately, she's supposedly not running again.

It takes a special kind of fool to argue that intolerance against intolerance is unlawful because it is intolerance.

[Chirri]

How utterly disconnected from all the reasons a very Red State Governor might decide to Veto that pile of crap.

[Roveredo]

I actually find her quite hot. As long as she keeps her mouth shut,shes fine.

Outside of the cities in MN, its pretty much redneckvile.

[stumpy]

How the hell do you keep getting persecuted by people you vastly outnumber?

Because shes right and her words are true. Gays are like antagonists to the constitution. That's why ppl keep voting for her.
