Sometimes David Draiman of Disturbed and Device gets it right. And sometimes he gets it very, very wrong.
No, Michele Bachmann didn’t endorse an “actual ad” suggesting you can catch the gay from smoking up.

@DAVIDMDRAIMAN Umm, I don't think this one is real….

@nevadawolfe @DAVIDMDRAIMAN quick google-fu is showing "Christians for Michele Bachmann" is a possible troll group so I doubt this is real.

@DAVIDMDRAIMAN It's fake, been around at least a year..

Draiman responded to several tweets cluing him in that he got it wrong. First he claimed it was just a question.
@DAVIDMDRAIMAN @AvatarOfBro Michelle Bachman didn't run it. Deplorable, yes, but get your facts straight.

From “just askin’ questions” to “fake, but accurate”:
@DAVIDMDRAIMAN if you believe that's real, welcome to the internet.

Just in case Draiman’s tweet disappears, here’s the obviously fake parody ad that got him worked up.
