"Ba-bye"

An eight-year-old confronts Bachmann regarding her perspective on homosexuality (ensure that captions are turned on, as the child is a little too quiet, even for Bachmann):



The video's quickly gaining a large number of views on YouTube and elsewhere, thanks in large part to the blogosphere's mixed reaction. Of course, there are those who doubt that the child's message was his own, and those who – like the person who uploaded the video – deem the eight-year-old an 'activist'. Even by the most liberal definition, it's hardly an accurate description.

Regardless, Bachmann's reaction is priceless. In her defense, though, what does one say? I suppose any other candidate would have been able and willing to give a short "of course not," but with her history on the issue, that wasn't really on the cards, was it? "Ba-bye" will have to do.
