Conservative group backtracks on marriage pledge slavery language - By MAGGIE HABERMAN

Suddenly the pornography clause in the pledge has taken a backseat to the tone-deaf and wildly inappropriate comparison of black family life today and how it was so much better under slavery. Not only was the comparison in the pledge historically misinformed, it comes across as a clumsy attempt by some hack to justify the Peculiar Institution. Why Bachmann would be foolish enough to sign this is a legitimate question, with an answer that is obvious to me but perhaps others need her to point it out for them.

To add to the hilariousness of the incident, Bachmann told Fox News that she stood by the pledge, just as the conservative organization was withdrawing the portion dealing with slavery from their pledge altogether. She flubbed the out that they offered her, after affirming a pledge that she clearly did not read or comprehend.

Done.
