Bachmann challenged by 8-year-old
GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann learned that protesters often come in adorable packages. A video captures the Minnesota congresswoman greeting 8-year-old Elijah and his mom at a signing event for Bachmann's book, "Core of Conviction: My Story," in South Carolina.
The candidate, who is an outspoken opponent of same-sex marriage, met her match with the soft-spoken, pint-sized activist. The video shows Bachmann leaning in to listen closely as the youngster whispers, "My mommy's gay, but she doesn't need fixing."
The kid was totally put up to that. Not that it wasn't a good idea if you wanted to embarass Bachman but please, this kid is no activist.
whatever sick perversions she enjoys behind closed doors...
I've read a bunch of commentary on this story, and the overwhelming opinion, even at huffington Post, is that Michelle handled herself well when the selfish mother put her 8 year old son up to this. So, it probably wasn't a good idea if she wanted to embarass Bachman.
How was the mother "selfish?"
And yeah, she wanted to embarass Bachmann, who needs to be embarassed.
The child was obviously not comfortable with it, but the mother thought she could score some political points for her cause.
Devil's advocate, but it's entirely possible that it was something the child said on his own accord. While he certainly was cajoled to some extent, all children that young get very timid when speaking to strangers, even if there is something they want to say.
I'm not saying that's obviously the case here, but it is possible.

Being an intelligent woman who loves children, she was more than likely shocked that this mother would place her very young son in such an ackward position that he was obviously very uncomfortable with.
Possible. We have no way of really knowing. However, as he is only 8 years old and probably not a political junky, I highly doubt it was all his idea, especially considering how quiet he is and how much cajoling was required.

But what we can agree on is that cornbread pancakes kick ath.

I'm sorry___I wasn't aware that Saturday Nite Live had added Michelle Bachmann to the Stupid List along with Sarah Palin.Why am I not surprised you would say something like that?

I really should try harder to keep up with the politicly neutral opinions of those intelligent mainstream media comedians and actors.
Regardless, it isn't right. The mom can say whatever she wants but don't bring the kids into it. With that said the kid didn't seem any more uncomfortable then I've seen other kids act at a school play or their first communion.I think the kid was probably put up to it, but parents make their kids do things all the time. There's a long-ass list of worse things a parent can make their child do than embarrassing Michele Bachmann.
