Gay GOP Candidate Calls Bachmann A LIAR, 'HYPOCRITE And BIGOT'

" Republican presidential candidate Fred Karger on Tuesday night slammed fellow contestant for the nomination Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota over allegations a counseling clinic she co-owns with her husband is offering ex-gay therapy. “She’s a liar and now that she’s been busted, she’s trying to divert attention away from her lies,” Karger said in an exclusive interview with Michigan Messenger. “She is just another hypocrite and bigot.”



Karger’s words came as an undercover video investigation by Truth Wins Out started making headlines. The therapy, called reparative therapy, has been condemned by most credible medical organizations, which say there is no evidence the therapy works and may in fact be damaging to a person struggling with their sexuality.



On Tuesday, Human Rights Campaign — which dubs itself the largest LGBT rights group in the country — called on candidates in the GOP field to take a stand on the issue:



“Michele Bachmann’s homophobic views are out of step with mainstream America, and it’s time for her fellow GOP presidential contenders to publicly denounce them,” said HRC President Joe Solmonese. “The past few years we’ve seen a surge in support for equality and have made important legislative progress. Bachmann’s support for things like reparative therapy signals just how fringe a candidate she really is.”



Only Karger has taken a stand. “Absolutely. She needs to own up to it and tell the truth,” Karger said. “What is going on in that counseling center? I am telling you I am very concerned about that.”

3. This is the only thing I will say about openly gay Republicans

I am proud of the fact that the Democratic Party (generally) supports LGBT rights and also proud if we have been worthy of earning LGBT votes. But in an ideal country, I believe that those who subscribe to the Republican message of taxes, defense blah blah blah would feel welcome and "at home" in the GOP. But, only a portion of the other party can barely tolerate their existence, much less support their pursuit of happiness. So I just have one thing to ask gay Republicans:

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOU %@#$-ING MINDS!?!?"

4. good for him. I can't believe anyone can stand that woman!

5. Anyone who has ever seen that woman open her mouth

on television knows she's a professional liar. That is the only product she markets - starting with the monstrous lie that she is somehow a "Christian."

6. Is this guy the most naive person in the world.

Of course she is a liar, hypocrite and bigot, she's a tea bag loving republican. How could she not be all of these things.

He knows that the support of her fellow republicans has made her a contender to become the party nominee, but sadly for Fred Karger, she and her supporters all hate him and think he an evil pervert. Therefore, he might want to spend less time on this crazy lady and more time worrying about his need to want to belong to a group that clearly does not want, like or respect him.

7. If a liar, a hypocrite, and a bigot, then she's a reichous and sanctimonious

liar, hypocrite, and bigot. Credit should be given where credit is due. :shrug: :patriot:
