Bachmann’s Husband Tied To ‘Pray Away The Gay Therapy’

[Momanohedhunter]

10 and 1/2 min is to long to watch Chris Matthews. Hanity says different should I take his word for it ? Come on man.

My my, evidently there is some people who believe in what he is doing, if they ARE GOING to him for therapy.

so what business is it of you people.

That's like saying what business is it of someone if a charlatan is defrauding someone else.

Aside from that, I had a very good friend who I came to suspect was in the closet. He eventually killed himself in 2003 by hanging himself in his beautiful new home. He wasn't sick, or poor, and he didn't have any financial problems. We speculate that he couldn't deal with sexuality. So, for a lot of people who have family or friends who have grasped at a straw in the hope (false hope, actually) to change one's nature, we know that it could/would be a crushing emotional and psychological defeat to believe that the only reason(s) you can't change is because you're not praying hard enough or that God isn't answering your prayers.

Part and parcel of their thinking.

Still no evidence that he took medicare money to prey the gay away ? Thought so.

Opinion emotion, Political hackery, but no facts.

This is kind of old news, but...

If you are a gay person and you WANT to go to a Christian counseling center for it, that is your business. It is not some 'undercover GLBT actiists' business.

If you're a gay man walking into one of those clinics, you know what's coming.

People have a right to choose their own therapy. Did it ever occur to you that the people who really do sincerely want to suppress their natural sexual tendencies may not appreciate your advocacy?

That's not fraud.

The power of prayer is no different than the power of positive thinking. I personally think most shrinks are hacks, but again, he defrauded no one.

That he took medicare money for it was implied. Her husbands credentials were questioned as well. They can prove nothing so they started another thread to bash them.

The video is pretty convincing.

He didn't commit a crime. Their Christian therapy center has been known for years. It's a non-story.

I don't think he committed any crime. I just see it as highlighting Bachmann's hypocrisy... someone who calls the slighest assistance to anyone else "socialism", perhaps shouldn't be taking medicare money and farm subsidies.

For me, the larger issue is that I don't understand why our tax money is paying for psycho stuff like praying away the gay. I wonder what the insurance code is for that.

That he charged medicare to prey the gay away ?

Link with proof he took medicare money to prey away the gay ? Political hackery. Next will be emotion.

Presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is pushing back against charges of hypocrisy over Medicaid payments her husband collected for his therapy practice.

Bachmann's husband, Marcus, runs a Christian counseling agency that has come under scrutiny in the past for its strong religious ties. The Los Angeles Times noted this week that it had received about $30,000 in public funds since 2007, partly federal, to help prepare staff to properly deal with mentally ill patients. On Tuesday, NBC revealed an additional $137,000 in Medicaid payments since 2005, which they said contradicted Rep. Bachmann's claim that her husband only received a training grant that went to employees.

"Medicaid is a valuable form of insurance for many Americans and it would be discriminatory not to accept Medicaid as a form of payment," a spokeswoman for Bachmann's campaign said in a statement on Wednesday responding to questions about the payments. "As a state-sponsored counseling service, Bachmann and Associates has a responsibility to provide Medicaid and medical assistance, regardless of a patient's financial situation."

Critics say that the money undercuts Bachmann's small-government rhetoric, since she's frequently called for scaling back Medicare funds and criticized her state's governor for swelling the "welfare rolls" by expanding the program.

You conveniently left this out-

Ware is the part that money was accepted to prey away the gay ? You also neglect to mention the fact that the clinic is a medical facility that treats alcoholism and ADD among others. had you taken 30 seconds to hit the link to there clinic you would have known that. Your post is political hackery. I dont normally re post links but I will do it here so you can have a clue.

It's getting very sad to watch how DESPERATE the liberals are getting. They know THEY ARE IN TROUBLE of their Dear Leader LOSING his THRONE in 2012..

they dig up stupid stupid shit and again are going after FAMILY MEMBERS just like they did with Palin.

You'd think they would be ashamed, but they don't have any when it comes to KEEPING their MASTERS in power.

I vote this thread one of the stupidest..AND a real YAWNER.

I am not a liberal, vote Republican and will raise a very large amount of $$ once again this year for Republican candidates state wide and nationally.
But it will not be for Michelle Badhmann and her kind. She is a liar and a fraud just like her husband. No doubt it is the Republican right wing kook religous right that they pander to as those folks are typically uneducated zombies that follow anyone and everyone that says Jeeezuuus.
We are tired of these morons. George Bush, a good Christian man, is telling everyone and anyone right now that backing these fringe lunatics against Obama will once again doom us.
Wake up Republicans. These frauds are nothing more than right wing extremists.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Oh the irony of all the wingnuts who posted the picture of Barack Obama,

portraying HIM as the witch doctor.

This shit is BY DEFINITION witch doctoring.

 

[CitizenPained]

Plenty of crackpot therapists getting paid by the feds. Why assault a guy who is honest about his therapy?
