Michele Bachmann, a vicious anti-gay crusader herself, might be rivaled in the homophobia department by her campaign aide Peter Waldron.
Waldron, the leader of Bachmann’s faith-based outreach in Iowa and South Carolina and the man credited with propelling Bachmann to the Ames Straw Poll victory, has ties to Ugandan minister Martin Ssempa. In 2004, Waldron was invited to speak at Ssempa’s church. Last year Ssempa rose to international notoriety for his support of genocidal legislation that seeks to execute gay people and imprison anyone who fails to report gay people to the Ugandan authorities.
The New Republic documented Waldron’s visit to Ssempa’s church (by Andrew Rice):
“The Sunday I attended Ssempa’s church, after he finished his sermon, the pastor told his audience that he had a special guest to introduce…Dr. Peter Waldron of Wyoming. Waldron told the congregation that he had once been a military man and that he used to travel around Africa a lot in the 1960s. He was vague about the nature of his work. (“I’m not at liberty to say,” he later told me.) But he claimed that, on one occasion, it resulted in some good people getting executed by a firing squad. After that, he contemplated suicide, he told the audience. Then he found Jesus.”
The fact that Waldron was an associate of Ssempa is shocking enough, but that’s not all. Two years later, in 2006, Waldron was still knocking around Uganda when he was arrested on terrorism charges for allegedly having four AK-47 rifles and 180 bullets “all without a valid license or reasonable excuse,” according to a chief magistrate in Uganda.
Ugandan police said Waldron was planning to start a political party based on Christian principles when he was arrested. Waldron was released about a month later – for which he credits the Bush administration.
Neither being charged with having illegal assault weapons nor palling around with people who are homicidal toward gays is acceptable. But both of them wrapped up in the same package – in a person who is trying to influence the next U.S. presidential election – is one mighty scary and enraging proposition.
Where does the “poop-eating” come in? That’s an act Ssempa unbelievably insists that gays engage in:
Stand with civil rights. Protest Bachmann.

I thought they were only going to execute pedophile homosexuals? I have to say I’m for that.
Do you also approve of the execution of pedophile heterosexuals? And are you aware that MOST pedophiles are heterosexual, and that sexuality has NOTHING to do with pedophilia?
I REALLY hope so!
So next they will be executing people of different races and religion? This is so wrong.
I’m gay, I do not eat shit, nor do I take shit, and especially not from a gay-bashing mental mediocrity like Michele Bachtuchus.
Don’t worry, us Atheists have your back if she gets elected.
She is the seriously dangerous sort – fundamentalist Xian of the nastiest sort. But what side is she on, really? Is she a pro-richie like Perry, or just a ‘kill everybody that isn’t her?’ What side? She is quite capable of genocide, homicide, homo-cide; now if only we could convince her to try – suicide… Good for the nation, good for the world, and good for her family – free at last, thank God Almighty, free at last…
Pu…lease people, anyone eating shit would die automatically. Were these people asleep during the ecoli deaths from eating contaminated spinach? The world doesn’t need any more haters. Time to clean the House in 2012 via elections and RECALLS. What more proof of Tealiban Teahadists terrorist tendencies do we need than their willingness to take the country hostage over the debt ceiling and proceeding to KILL the hostage? Americans have lost their life savings TWICE in THREE years because of the Teapublicans brain-dead economic policies. Do they think we like them? Do they think they’re “cool”? They need to go back to their little hobbit holes in Podunk and leave America alone.
You will not die from eating shit. Babies eat their own all the time. Blahh! Unfortunatly, there are such adult people that get a sexual charge from eating feces. The practice is called “Scat” (look it up but, not after you have eatin recently). It is a practice that is done by hetrosexuals as well as homosexuals.
I am a non-violent person but, I fantasize about rounding up douchebags like Waldron and sticking his AK-47 up his ass and letting him taste a little of his own shit b4 the top of his head explodes. “oop’s, did I say that????”
i wonder if michele would accept her kids if they were gay
I’d fear for them. There is way too much crazy coming from her camp.
your not kidding! I read yesterday about a christian radicalist who spanked there kid to death! 7 hours being beaten and she was little. Probably didn’t do that much . Bachman lives in this kind of world and it is a scary thing that she is even being considered for gop nomination. Her husband is deffinately gay but he won’t admit it kind of like Garrison from South Park.
Well, her husband can’t even accept his own homosexuality. I can’t imagine a gay kid would receive their undying support.
