JANE SCHMIDT: One of my main concerns is government support for the interracial community. So my question is what would you do to support the interracial community.
BACHMANN: Well, No. 1, all of us as Americans have the same rights. The same civil rights. And so that's really what government's role is, to protect our civil rights. There shouldn't be any special rights or special set of criteria based upon people's preferences. We all have the same civil rights.

JANE SCHMIDT: Then, why can't interracial couples get married?

BACHMANN: They can get married, but they abide by the same law as everyone else. They can marry a white person if they’re a white person. Or they can marry a black person if they're a black person.

JANE SCHMIDT: Why can't a white person marry a black person?

BACHMANN: Because that's not the law of the land.

JANE SCHMIDT: So same-race couples have a privilege.

BACHMANN: No, they have the same opportunity under the law. There is no right to interracial marriage.

JANE SCHMIDT: So you won't support the interracial community?

BACHMANN: No, I said that there are no special rights for people based upon your race. There's no special rights based upon what race you are. You're an American citizen first and foremost and that's it.

ELLA NEWELL, a junior at Waverly High School: Wouldn't same-race couples, if they were given a privilege then, that interracial couples aren't, like given that privilege to get married, but same-race couples are given a privilege to get married?

BACHMANN: Remember every American citizen has the right to avail themselves to marriage but they have to follow what the laws are. And the laws are you marry a person of the same race.

That's where you can find the original interview. I replaced a couple key words in order to make an artful point.

Problem is, almost all dems and now most repubs, know beyond all doubt that this women is a temporary blot on any affiliation with the repub party and it may be them who finally tells her to go away and back to congress where being so fucking crazy won't hurt the country as much. Still will, but not as much.

Too bad this is COMPLETE BULLSHIT!!!

Now, what was ACTUALLY stated:

JANE SCHMIDT: One of my main concerns is government support for the LGBT community. So my question is what would you do to protect GSAs in high school and support the LGBT community.
 
BACHMANN: Well, number one, all of us as Americans have the same rights. The same civil rights. And so that’s really what government’s role is, to protect our civil rights. There shouldn’t be any special rights or special set of criteria based upon people’s preferences. We all have the same civil rights.
 
JANE SCHMIDT: Then, why can’t same-sex couples get married?
 
BACHMANN: They can get married, but they abide by the same law as everyone else. They can marry a man if they’re a woman. Or they can marry a woman if they’re a man.
 
JANE SCHMIDT: Why can’t a man marry a man?
 
BACHMANN: Because that’s not the law of the land.
 
JANE SCHMIDT: So heterosexual couples have a privilege.
 
BACHMANN: No, they have the same opportunity under the law. There is no right to same-sex marriage.
 
JANE SCHMIDT: So you won’t support the LGBT community?
 
BACHMANN: No, I said that there are no special rights for people based upon your sex practices. There’s no special rights based upon what you do in your sex life. You’re an American citizen first and foremost and that’s it.
 
ELLA NEWELL, a junior at Waverly High School: Wouldn’t heterosexual couples, if they were given a privilege then, that gay couples aren’t, like given that privilege to get married, but heterosexual couples are given a privilege to get married?
 
BACHMANN: Remember every American citizen has the right to avail themselves to marriage but they have to follow what the laws are. And the laws are you marry a person of the opposite sex.

Go look up "lie" in the dictionary, then go look up "satire," then take the evening to think about the difference. Have some tea, too; it helps one focus.


I certainly hope you're not the type that shouts "you lie!" at every SNL skit featuring a political figure.

The idiots are trying to play some stupid game by equating interracial marriage with gay marriage -- problem is, one is LEGAL where the other is not.

I fail to understand the distinction. Right now we are in an era where gay marriage is legal in some places but not in others. 70 years ago, we were in an era where interracial marriage was legal in some places but not in others.

The two are analogous in every single conceivable way.

That's probably the reason that some people want to vote for politicians who will change that law, don't you think?

Satire is nothing more than lying, I should know.

It's simple... the ANSWERS GIVEN are based on the LEGALITY of the question.

Example:

Q:  "What are your views on people driving 100 mph without seatbelts?!!"

A:  "It's illegal... everyone has to drive the speedlimit"


Want a different answer?  Ask a question regarding something that isn't ILLEGAL.

You say that as if, were same-sex marriage legal, Michelle Bachmann would fervently support it and give it its blessing.

You are...ignoring the issue here.
(I originally had the word "willfully" in the above sentence, but realized your ignorance might be genuine.)
