From The Colu.mn: On Nov. 12, Rep. Michele Bachmann will be the headliner at a fundraiser for You Can Run But You Cannot Hide, an anti-gay ministry that has positioned itself to have access to students at public high schools around the Midwest.
More from MinnIndy: After reading Bible verses, [representatives of the Ministry] incorrectly stated that homosexuality is a crime in the U.S. and said gays only live to be 42 years old … “Do you not understand, enemies of God, [that] you are cursing yourselves?” said Dean.

I would comment but I’m all out of compassion at this point for the Know-Nothings. They truly live in a Bizarro world.

Let the nut talk. I don’t think the gay thing is as powerful at getting people to the polls as it used to be. she does this at her own peril. Who gives a shit if someone is gay. We have two wars, and economic collapse and the dollar is going to take a shit. she is worried about who is gay or not. Eventually nuts get eaten by squirrels.

I’ve heard those two dudes on the radio. If you like the real out-there political talk for entertainment value they’re what your after. Lotsa dark prophecy from the dim past of the American Revolution. Calvinist ministry leanings. They quote Jefferson a lot. Gotta kind of mad edge to it.

But guys, where is your tolerance for her intolerance?
5:57 pm
Also, “You Can Run But You Cannot Hide”? Seriously? What’s the implication here?
6:07 pm
An inflated opinion of their influence and power.

I don’t like this trend of making fun words out of URLs, especially .mn. That’s part of the government URL standard – house.mn, state.mn.us, etc and I don’t think it should be messed with.
That is all.
9:31 pm
@kwatt I believe that the .mn is actually the top level domain for some country …don’t most govt urls end .us or .gov
10:29 pm
.mn is Mongolia.

“Also, “You Can Run But You Cannot Hide”? Seriously? What’s the implication here?”
That George Bush is going to kick your ass. (They still can’t accept the election)
Seriously though, I assume it’s that an all knowing, all powerful God will smite you for your sinful ways.

If that’s not a foregone conclusion around here, I don’t know what is.

My, MNspeak has gone all gay lately. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

I recently took a call from a woman asking if we accept funding from an organization she read (this must have been some book) was “promoting the gay agenda” by donating to groups like the American Lung Association.
That was a new one.
8:24 am
If the gay agenda is healthy lungs, who could disapprove?

Tru dat, max, tru dat.
Hey, I got myself turned around while driving in Minneapolis the other day. I finally saw a landmark I recognized — the building where you live. Next time I’ll honk and scream something.

‘“Also, “You Can Run But You Cannot Hide”? Seriously? What’s the implication here?”

If you listen to them, you’ll learn that Bush is as big a persona non grata as Obama, or any other politician, for that matter.

@Rat: Bush’s unpopularity must be why he’s hittin’ the lecture circuit.
9:09 am
Bachman is crazy and evil. This Dean guy is just plain stupid. I’m seriously dumber for just having read his pull-quotes in that linked piece.
I need to go get some coffee.
9:12 am
Sure you haven’t had too much already?

“Bush’s unpopularity must be why he’s hittin’ the lecture circuit.”
I don’t know if that denotes popularity or not. We’ll see if there are any takers. It’s not exactly Dancing with the Stars.

These guys also set up shop at gas stations and “minister” to people as they pump gas. I’ve stopped patronizing any station that allows them to do it. The list is getting long enough that I might have to write it down instead of keeping mental note.
A few years back they bought space in the local (Monticello) paper and posted some really nasty anti-gay hate speech including excerpts from “The Gay Manifesto” by Michael Swift (*Swift*… did they not get it?)

“These guys also set up shop at gas stations and “minister” to people as they pump gas.”
To be fair, so do I.
9:42 am
You must buy a lotta gas.
9:44 am
Look at it this way, Bob, when it comes to the hard sell, these guys don’t have anything on you.
9:45 am
@Rat: I think justpbob is a giver, not a taker.
9:50 am
So is The Rat.

“You must buy a lotta gas.”
I never touch the stuff when I’m on the clock. Our Impala and F150 run on another kind of fuel. That’s the gospel truth!

That was meant for Bland.
