I've challenged another Freeper on this to back it up with links. I links to far-left sites and speakers, which in his case adequately documented the other Freeper’s claim that Bachmann’s husband's sexual orientation was being “whispered” about.

OK, that was fair in his case.

Your claim goes farther. You're not just saying people are whispering about Bachmann’s husband's sexual orientation (which apparently is true) but that he actually **IS** gay.

Back it up with links or cut the unfounded allegations.

Put bluntly, this could generate a libel case and get not just you but Free Republic sued. Bachmann’s husband is a public figure and he would probably lose a libel suit, but in the interim you and Free Republic could spend tens of thousands of dollars paying lawyers.

I've made clear repeatedly that I am not a backer of Bachmann. She badly mishandled the issue of the Wisconsin Synod's stance on the Roman Catholic Church. I don't think she's “ready for prime time.” But unfounded allegations of homosexuality have no place on a conservative forum, no matter who the target may be.

Truth is not a wax nose. We're conservatives, and for us truth is not relative. Facts count, and if you can't back up your claims, don't make the claims.
