Bradlee Dean Talks About the Castration & Hanging of Homosexuals

Now the election is over, Bachmann and Emmer's pal Bradlee Dean is talking about his favorite subject: persecuting homosexuals. In this clip, Bradlee Dean describes old laws dealing with "buggery". Bradlee Dean ghoulishly describes the punishments; castration, hanging and incarceration and asks "why so harsh?". Later in the broadcast, Bradlee Dean answers his own question by reading news reports about child molestation. Bradlee Dean makes no distinction between child molesters and "sodomites". Listen:

Chip Cravaak, Erik Paulsen and John Kline Support Michele Bachmann

Michele Bachmann is running for Conference chair, the number 4 leadership post. While the reaction of other house leadership is tepid, the Minnesota Republican delegation: John Kline, Chip Cravaak, and Erik Paulsen is united behind Michele Bachmann. Will Bachmann enter the Senate race against Amy Klobuchar next? Or is she waiting to take on Al Franken in 2014?

Bachmann Getting Weirder

TPM covers Bachmann's statement that a presidential trip to india will cost $200 million a day. Here's the video: Check out TPM's slideshow "The Year of Michele Bachmann". Also getting attention is Bachmann's robotic behavior election night. Eric Black: Then things got slightly strange, at least visually. While a squadron of camera-wielding news teams hoping for their turn with her stood by helplessly, she stared — was it vacantly or purposefully — at nothing. This video of Bachmann talking to Chris Matthews went viral: Parody video here.

Bachmann Not Dumped Yet

But, it will happen and when it does, the dumping will be likely be done by Bachmann herself. One last Bachmann trading card:

MinnPost on The Purse-Holder Thanking Dump Bachmann

Derek Walbank at MinnPost: Meanwhile, Team Bachmann — which also spent big on word-linked online advertising — said this morning that it actually financed a last minute get-out-the-vote mailer to Anoka County using $12,000 in donations that it raised off such ads that found their way on the anti-Bachmann blog DumpBachmann.com. "DumpBachmann blog advertising raised @teambachmann $12,000 THANK YOU we were able to mail all of Anoka County one last time with that cash!" Bachmann adviser Andy Parrish tweeted earlier today. Someone should fact-check that $12K figure. We don't have that many readers. Anyways, it should also be noted that Team DumpBachmann COST Bachmannn thousands of dollars when we reported on the dirty $$$ she got from Frank Vennes Jr. and U.S. Navy Veterans Assoc. scam artist Bobby Thompson. Also, I'm guessing Team DumpBachmann cost her a lot of money for high-priced lawyers who worked on the Edwatch complaint.

Bachmann Robo-Called in 2006 Election

About Andy Parrish's twitter-fit yesterday - it's bogus. PiPress: "Congresswoman Bachmann knows that it's legal because she has done them too," Clark spokeswoman Carrie Lucking said. Gor said Bachmann only calls those who sign up for updates through her congressional office. But Lucking said Clark herself has received unsolicited calls. State law says robocalls are legal only if there is a preexisting relationship between the parties or if the recorded call is preceded by a live operator. It says nothing about a recorded operator asking people to wait for a live congressional candidate. UPDATE: The Clark campaign shared an opinion from DFL lawyer Alan Weinblatt, who said it's legal and "not even a close question." From the comments: We were the recipient of Bachman's continuous robo-calls that would eat up several hours on our answering machine. We had NO preexisting relationship with Bachman and we did NOT sign up for updates. She lies. It took multiple calls to get her to quit robo-calling us. Again, she lies about many many things. I've not gotten robo-calls from Clark, but have in previous elections gotten them from Bachmann. I, too, have not had a previous relationship with Bachmann, or even Clark. Bachmann's campaign knows they use robo-calls, so why try to smear the opponent when it's just going to fly back in your face? Obviously, no intelligence there. Here's a report about Bachmann robo-calls from 2006: If you need another reason to vote Patty Wetterling, consider the despicable tactics the Republicans are resorting to in the final hours of the campaign in a desperate attempt to eke out a win. The Wetterling campaign says Bachmann and her buddies are robo-calling households in the Sixth District. These calls are masquerading as information about Patty Wetterling; when the voter picks up the phone, the hope is, he or she will think it's a call from the Wetterling campaign. Looks like Purse-Holder Andy was left holding the bag again.

6CD Voters Need to Place Michele Bachmann on Waivers

Breaking news from the City Pages Blotter: This is now officially a disastrous season: NFL.com is reporting that Randy Moss has been waived by the Minnesota Vikings. That bizarre press conference yesterday when he told the Patriots how much he loved them and missed them probably helped moved things along. Moss sounded like a guy with a severe case of buyer's remorse yesterday, after the Patriots handed the Vikings their fifth loss of the season by a score of 28-18. A while back the City Pages Blotter said this about Bachmann wearing the #84 jersey: Moss is back, of course. And Bachmann was captured wearing his No. 84 jersey on the Pioneer Press's political blog. It's good that she supports the Vikings, but did she really have to pick the Vikings' most notorious wide receiver? Photo Star Tribune
