Bachmann's IA Co-Chair: Gay Marriage Will Lead to Eiffel Tower Marriage

These people really are insane.  Michelle Bachmann's Iowa co-chair, one Tamara Scott, appeared with Iowa Family Leader hate group head Bob Vander Plaatz to warn that marriage equality will lead to people marrying objects, such as the Eiffel Tower.  I'm not making this up:



First off, I'm a bit surprised that she's even heard of the Eiffel Tower.  Secondly, WTF is wrong with these people?  What sort of unresolved issues cause someone to obsess about other people's lives and invent such wild paranoid delusions?  You remember Vander Plaatz for his noxious marriage pledge that Bachmann, Rick Santorum and now Rick Perry all signed.  He has taken out the passage claiming that black children were better off under slavery than they are today, but kept the vow to hold hearings on gay harassment of Christians.  I guess I'm harassing myself.  Remember, if someone punches you in the face yelling "Faggot," it's your fault that his fist hurts. 

But wait, there's more!  Tammy has a jobs plan!  Speaking for NOM (naturally) she said that banning gay marriage will save the economy!



She didn't invent this bullshit argument.  The hate group Family Research Council dreamed it up and other GOP candidates like Rick Santorum have spewed it. 

At times like this, it's nice to take another look at Steven Colbert on Bachmann and Vander Plaatz:

She probably thinks the Eiffel tower is a new structure that was recently built in Las Vegas, really??

Bachmann's just afraid her husband will leave her for the Space Needle.
