Don’t you dare pay that homophobe one dollar, John. Let the story blow up, along with Michele’s chances of ever becoming President, Vice President or Secretary of Whatever. In fact, if you do decide to pay him anything, pay him two cents… as in, giving him your own two cents on why he’s a raving freaking lunatic. He should also come out of the closet already. I bet he’s on Grindr.

I just viewed the video of John Becker’s return call to Bachmann. Bachmann’s choice of words is very telling. He says “We’re going to send you to a collection agency…whatever it takes to get the truth out of you”. First of all, you don’t send people to a collection agency, you send bills, which demonstrates that this imbecilic threat is meant personally to try to coerce John Becker into recanting his truthful exposure of this bigot’s phony clinic. Great that the lawyer’s letter was sent after that putting Bachmann on notice. Also, after doing such a fantastic job of exposing this hypocrite, Becker said he “wasn’t asking for trouble”. But it was, in fact, Bachmann that was asking for trouble by defrauding the public and bilking the government for unethical and misrepresented “counseling” services.
Also, as for L. Brewer’s libelous comment, the lack of basic intelligence is startling. In addition to the other obvious lies, he knows “beyond a shadow of a doubt” that reparative therapy does not go on at the clinic. Fascinating. So this clown presumes to know exactly what goes on behind the closed doors of all counseling sessions at the clinic and that this discredited garbage never happens despite all the evidence. I guess this is the same kind of “urban legend” as Michele’s defense that she never said the President held “un-American views”. Brewer really does protest too much, as does Bachmann. The very fact that he has to accuse John Becker of editing the tape is an admission that the tape is, in fact, incriminating!

If it wasn’t for all the damage Bachman does with his bogus therapy, this would be funny. But a lot of innocent people are getting hurt when they are obviously the most vulnerable. Any decent human being would be ashamed for causing these people emotional harm, but as we can see, Marcus Bachman isn’t a decent human being, as he continues to subject people to his bogus therapy that has been rejected by ever legitimate psychiatric organization in American and most other parts of the world. I’d love to have 10 minutes alone with Marcus Bachman and give him a peace of my mind. I know how damaging reparative therapy can be as I got a taste of it first hand in the 80s. Needless to say, once I got my head “straight” (excuse the pun), I fired the psychiatrist. It’s too bad people that still use reparative can’t have their licenses pulled for practicing bogus therapy.

You’ve got your timetable all screwed up, L. Brewer: I cancelled my appointments on July 4; they were originally scheduled for July 5 and 7. (Did you even listen to Marcus Bachmann’s voicemail? He even mentions those EXACT dates.) The story didn’t break in the media until July 8. How about you get your facts straight before wantonly making baseless accusations?

As to your other charges: I dare you, Marcus Bachmann, or anyone else to repeat or perpetuate the lie that the video I personally took was selectively edited in any way. Nearly every major media outlet in the country, including the New York Times, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, and the Associated Press (along with overseas media outlets including French National Television), has seen our footage in its entirety and can corroborate its authenticity. Furthermore, I possess literally no video editing skills, so I couldn’t edit those videos even if I tried to do so.

Your assertion that reparative therapy is some kind of media fabrication is so ridiculous it doesn’t even merit a response.

And regarding your appraisal of my honesty: going undercover was the only way to find the truth about whether or not the Bachmann clinic offered “pray away the gay” therapy. We hear every day from survivors of these traumatic programs, many of whom have injuries that take years — sometimes a lifetime — to heal. Marcus and Michele Bachmann make money by victimizing and abusing LGBT people, and we were ABSOLUTELY justified in exposing them for that, even if it meant going undercover. I have absolutely no regrets.
