If you didn't see the other thread here on DU about the hate-monger's "prayer" before the Minnesota legislature, check it out here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=221x177074Not surprisingly, he is very tight with Michele Bachmann. Article published in Mother Jones just prior to his "prayer:"
In late September, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R–Minn.) will travel to a greyhound racetrack on the outskirts of Kansas City, Kansas, to speak at the Freedom Jamboree, a five-day festival billed as "the first national nominating convention" for the tea party. Bachmann, who is considering a run for president, will be joined by some familiar faces—WorldNetDaily editor and arch-birther Joseph Farah will be there; so will Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the architect of Arizona’s harsh immigration law.
One confirmed speaker, however, is not like all the others: Bradlee Dean is a Minnesota radio host, anti-gay activist, and drummer for the band Junkyard Prophet, voted "the second-best unsigned band in the nation" in 1996 by Heaven's Metal magazine. Dean is likely the only scheduled speaker with a tattoo of Abraham sacrificing Isaac on his forearm; he is almost certainly the only scheduled speaker who has ever gone more than a decade without cutting his hair—a lifestyle decision that gives him a more-than-passing resemblance to Poison's Bret Michaels. . .
. . . Dean reserves his most incendiary rhetoric for gays, whom he believes are actively working to undermine the Constitution. He's argued that homosexuality is not only immoral, but actually a federal crime. When President Obama nominated Sharon Lubinski, who is openly gay, to be a US Marshal in 2010, Dean argued that Obama had acted illegally because "homosexuality is against the law in the United States." (Although some states have refused to take the laws off the books, the 2003 Supreme Court case Lawrence v. Texas ruled that homosexuality statutes were unconstitutional.). . .
It gets worse; he blames gays for the Holocaust, too. Nice company you keep, Michele. But no surprise, really.
