Just Plain Wrong

You are right, he's just a kid who loves his mother. What is Bachmanns excuse?

Well her excuse for dropping out of the race was that she is now waiting to see what's in God's plan. I am betting He was too busy helping the Broncos.

Poor little dude.

One can only imagine what sort of emotional trauma he is subjected to when he is not on camera in front of a presidential candidate.

To the contrary, his mother needs considerable fixing: Being gay is no excuse for being an asshole.
 
Being straight is no excuse for being an asshole either.


Not that I'm trying to imply something by that, no, not at all...

Oh bull****. This was about as traumatic as his mom sending him up to tell Santa Claus what he wants for Christmas. And Bachmann is the asshole.

Bachmann's not to blame for that mother's decisions. I agree that the little boy wasn't "traumatized," but he was exploited by his parent, not by the candidate.

Clearly this was "God's Plan" for her.

On scale of 10 for exploitation what is that....like a .1? Lets not lose sight that Bachman thinks that childs mother is an abomination and that the kid is better off in a foster home than living with that woman. When was the last time someone had a political platform that called who you were unnatural and that you shouldn't have the basic rights of others.

I'm sorry--what does Bachmann's platform have to do with the mother's sending her little kid up there to sandbag her? Let's not lose site of the fact that the mother used her little kid. Not saying this is extraordinary--divorced parents manipulate their kids too, for example. But the only comments I've contributed on this thread have focused on the mother. Whatever Bachmann's or other candidates' platforms are, I don't see a justification for exploiting a little kid. That's my only point.

Using 23 foster kids as a qualification for POTUS: Not exploiting. :lol:
 
The mother clearly force her child to do something they did not want to, just for the camera. Sounds like exploitation to me. I don't care what you think of Bachmann's views, this is the lowest form of gotcha out there and is really pathetic.

Agreed. Though, some liberals would have you believe that the child full understood what he was doing, and did so willfully.

We don't need these "gotcha" moments to expose candidates views on homosexuality/gay marriage ect..., mostly because their views don't stand on their own two feet. The world is getting more progressive with each day and these archaic views will soon slip out of favor.

It has everything to do with her views.

I think it's ridiculous that you even call it exploitation.

Are you fine with people using their children to spread their views?

It's akin to the WBC people using their kids to hold up their signs.

I would never do it but wouldn't call it exploitation. Exploitation....especially exploitation of children has a very negative connotation.

exploitation - definition of exploitation by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

It is exploitation. It would be the same if a man had his 5-8-year-olds carrying hate signs.

It does have everything to do with her views. But using, nay forcing, a child to try and embarrass her because of said views is exploration at its worst.

I don't think hate signs are comparable to putting your daughter up to asking why the lady doesn't think her mom should be a mom but whatever.

No it's not, there are much worse forms of childhood exploitation....which is why it has a negative connotation associated with it....which is why it's a charged word for something that isn't that big of a deal.

It is using a child to voice YOUR selfish views.
