It's clear in the video that the kid was pushed by his mom to do that and get it on film. Kids shouldn't be forced into being involved in adult things. I'm sure he didn't understand who he was talking to. His mom was pressuring him into doing it in the video. Michelle Bachmann is an idiot, but this looks bad on the LGBT community to use children, since some people in the world seem to think we take advantage of them |

I didn't see that in the video. All I saw was the mom encourage the to say something he wanted to say. It doesn't take much for small child to get nervous. I've seen kids freeze up over much less.

| EC Regular Full Member   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: People likely assume Location: MN Age: 36 Posts: 895 Join Date: Nov 2006 | Re: 8 year old talks to Michelle Bachman about his gay mom I don't like this either. My impression is he was told what to say, didn't really want to, then was pushed by his mom to say it. If he had been confident and said it more spontaneously I could believe he really said it of his own conviction, but not this. This is what I was hoping for when I saw the headline on yahoo and, but when I saw the video I was really dissapointed. It's better than teaching your kids to hate on GLBT people though. |

On the other hand, her (Bachmann's) reaction was priceless. |

But whether or not he was, doesn't seem like a big problem here. The problem I have is her reaction. What a  !
