Fightdirecto -> From the writings of Michelle Bachmann's mentor (8/13/2011 8:32:48 AM)

During the last Presidential campaign and occasionally since President Obama's election, some Obamaphobes has argued that the statements made by his pastor, Reverend Wright, in some way disqualified Barack Obama from elective office, since Barack Obama did not quit Reverend Wright's church and did not publically attack Reverend Wright for his statements.
Presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann studied under John Eidsmore, worked as his research assistant on his book Christianity and the Constitution, and recommended his books through her website. She recently told a church audience in Iowa:
quote:
I went down to Oral Roberts University, and one of the professors that had a great influence on me was an Iowan named John Eidsmoe. He’s from Iowa, and he’s a wonderful man. He has theology degrees, he has law degrees, he’s absolutely brilliant. He taught me about so many aspects of our godly heritage.
So let us apply the same standard to Michelle Bachmann that some have applied to Barack Obama.
quote:
Since considerable evidence indicates that a large percentage of homosexuals can convert or revert to heterosexuality, especially if they strongly desire to do so, they should if possible be given that opportunity. The armed forces could establish a program similar to the Limited Privileged Communication program which the Air Force operated for drug abusers during the 1970s. The individual could report to an internal department overseeing social actions, acknowledge his homosexuality, and have his admission treated with complete confidentiality. He coudl then be given a program of therapy to convert or revert to heterosexuality. if, upon completion of the program, a military psychologist or psychiatrist certifies that he has been cured of homosexuality and is unlikely to revert to homosexuality in the future, and if the member himself affirms that he has no intention of engaging in future homosexual behavior, he may be retained in the armed forces and his past homosexuality and treatment would be kept confidential. If a cure cannot be effected, he would be honorably discharged.
- John Eidsmore, Gays & Guns: The Case Against Homosexuals In The Military, page 116-117
If Michelle Bachmann does not publically attack John Eidsmore for statements such as these and still associates with him, does that mean she should not be elected, just as some argue that Barack Obama should not have been elected because of his past connection with Reverend Wright?
