Michelle Bachmann has a lesbian step-sister whom she has treated with kindness and respect her entire life -- except that as a politician she calls gays and lesbians depraved and vile.
It points out to me just how cynical many of these folks are. They are taking these positions knowing it will reach a certain constituency. Hate mongering when you don't even hate. That's worse somehow.
