Does Bachmann Believe Demonically Possessed Humans Are Destroying America?

Here's a very good article by Rachel Tabachnick at Talk to Action that says the mainstream press is missing the point with theocratic freaks like Christine O'Donnell:

The important question is not whether Christine O'Donnell is a witch, but does she believe the mythology spread by some evangelical preachers that Satan worshippers (which they call witches) are sacrificing thousands of humans in the woods outside our homes. Does she share the beleaguered worldview of those who think that demonically possessed humans are intentionally destroying America?

Throughout history witches have been accused of societal misfortunes from crop failure to car accidents. These episodes tell us more about the people doing the scapegoating than they do the people being scapegoated. Likewise, the current fixation with Satan worshippers should lead us to dialogue about the demon-obsessed state of the Religious Right, not on a hunt for witches. In my opinion, today's charismatic `prayer warrriors' and their obsession with witches and demons, serves to make it socially acceptable to demonize certain groups of people. If your enemy is demonic, any action against him is permissible.

The article mentions Michele Bachmann fellow traveller Bradlee Dean:

This week radio personality and Christian rock bank leader Bradlee Dean claimed that the Department of Justice and FBI is forced by people above them to cover up ritual sacrifice of children.

"America, we're talking about 58,000 children in this country that have been ripped off, out of your country, by forces behind this government stealing children."

The guest on the show was Judith Reisman, a Jewish culture warrior, leader of the anti-Kinsey movement (and endorser of Scott Lively's The Pink Swastika) who spouted other right wing mythology, claiming that the cover up is because of gays and is, at the same time, empowering "a Muslim takeover of the country."

You can listen to the audio at the Dump Bachmann website. Michele Bachmann has supported Bradlee Dean's band Junkyard Prophets, which is part of his You Can Run But You Cannot Hide, Inc. ministry, including a $50 dollar a plate fundraiser last November, which was advertised as:

Hear exciting news about our expanding vision and listen live as keynote speaker Congresswomen Michele Bachmann & Bradlee Dean empower patriots to be on the offense.

The "expanding vision" of the band includes evangelizing at more public schools. They have been featured at paid performances at numerous public schools across the country in recent years as part of character training, suicide prevention, and programming to fight drug and alcohol use.

Rep. Michele Bachmann participated in the anti-healthcare Prayercast which included Randy Forbes, Jim DeMint, and Sam Brownback and also Tony Perkins and NAR apostles Harry Jackson and Lou Engle. Both Engle and Jackson have described homosexuality as demonic. Jackson was quoted in Charisma,

"Gays have been at the helm of a fourfold strategy for years, but the wisdom behind their spiritual, cultural, political and generational tactics is clearly satanic."

And of course, if your enemy is satanic, then anything you do to combat that enemy is justified.

Reporters need to ask Michele Bachmann if she believes Bradlee Dean is correct when he claims the Department of Justice is not doing enough to stop satanic ritual sacrifices of children.

Speaking of Bradlee Dean, he is giving us a behind the scenes view of the making of his new movie which premieres October 21st.
