Cheney stumping for MN anti-gay zealot Michele Bachmann June 26
Congressional candidate Bachmann attracts help from Cheney

Associated Press
ST. PAUL - State Sen. Michele Bachmann will get some White House help in her bid for Congress.

Vice President Dick Cheney is scheduled to appear at a fundraiser on Bachmann's behalf on June 26 in a suburb west of Minneapolis, according to an invitation to the event obtained by The Associated Press.

(Michele Bachmann is Minnesota's most well-known anti-gay zealot and has campaigned relentlessly to amend the Minnesota Constitution to ban gay marriage. Read more about her at www.dumpbachmann.blogspot.com)

A Republican donor who received the invitation shared it with the AP on the condition of anonymity.

Neither the White House nor Bachmann's campaign has been willing to discuss the visit over the past week.

The invitation says Cheney will appear at the home of William and Karen Hawks on the shore of Lake Minnetonka. It gives guests the choice between a $250 per person reception or a more intimate reception and photo opportunity with Cheney for $1,000.

William and Karen Hawks are listed at 3465 County Road 44, Minnetrista 55364. According to Hennepin County records, their home was valued at over $5 million in 2004.

Here is a map to the event:

There has been speculation as to whether Mary Cheney will be serving tea to Bachmann's virulently anti-gay supporters. Or perhaps dad will take her duck hunting out on Lake Minnetonka.

2. In light of the documented series of flagrant lies by Cheney,
how could anyone be positively influenced by him? Are the people in MN awake?

8. Yep, that's the one!
She was photographed hiding in the bushes at a gay rights rally. Read more about it here (with photos): http://www.eleventh-avenue-south.com/archives/000491.html

And her shenanigans even earned her a prestigious place on the "Top 10 Conservative Idiots" list. Observe: http://www.democraticunderground.com/top10/05/193.html

12. Thank you.
That was one of the oddest things I have seen in a while. I guess I could have looked that up myself, sorry but thanks.

13. No problem.
That was a great example of idiocy and cowardice, and I'm glad to share the links with you. It's definitely good for a laugh. :)

4. Mary Cheney would be proud, I'm sure.
You're right, Mary Cheney will probably be there with her father to support Bachmann in her anti-gay crusades. Apparently family loyalty is more imporant than basic civil rights and working to end homophobic bigotry.

But John Edwards is a slimeball and John Kerry is a son of a bitch.

Riiiiight...

Dumbass.

5. Worse than Cheney is
Michele Bachmann. Imagine spending your life as an "anti-gay zealot." What a waste of a time.

9. Mary

what a horribly disgusting and cruel father you have. He may tell you in that sharp monotone voice (everyone picture it) "Mary, you know we love you regardless of what you are"
and her crying and hugging him and then Dick getting his plane ticket to go to his next gay-hate-fundraiser....


what an embarrassment these two are. such a creepy family... and oh yeah, John & John are slimeballs son of a bitches... yeah.
