Michele Bachmann's Holy War

She kicked off her unofficial presidential campaign in New Hampshire, by mistakenly declaring it the birthplace of the American Revolution. "It's your state that fired the shot that was heard around the world!" she gushed. "You are the state of Lexington and Concord, you started the battle for liberty right here in your backyard."

why was Palin mocked for her mis-statements but Bachmann given a pass?

Beautiful..............Just Beautiful  ::)

Well, there's a Concord, New Hampshire, so it gets, like, confusing and stuff.

Oh, come on, whats the difference between one New England state and another, after all, she ain't from around here

That stuff happened way before she was born, so what do you expect?

Not much

The prospect of Michele Bachmann becoming President of the United States downright scares me. If you think things are bad now...I don't even want to think about this country under a Bachmann administration. Where were these tea party idiots during the George W. Bush administration (largest expansion of government in history)?

Bachmann is nervous and paranoid.  If she got the nomination she'd crack under the savagery of a presidential campaign.

My guess is that all the other contenders could crack her in the first debate for the GOP, and if she somehow got the nom, Obama would very politely make mince meat out of her, or his VIP nom would do the same.  But if she is in the VT GOP primary, I'll vote for her.

Oh lord,  cooties, cooties, get me out of here.  After all, the "gay gene" is infectious, right?

Where is Richard Nixon when we need him? (I can't believe I'm saying that)

Attack of the 5-Foot Lesbian

From that link:
At the time of the alleged attempted kidnapping, Bachmann was a state senator from Minnesota and had already started to campaign against LGBT rights. She had previously been caught hiding in the bushes of a gay rights event.
What.  The.  Fcku???

PS.. a song for the Michelle Bachmann campaign

Or hell, even Jerry Ford. Jerry might've not been the brightest light but he was at least a decent man, wasn't insane, and was a pretty reasonable, good hearted President. I mean, he might've not have been a genius, but he was also no Palin.

The last reasonable, sane Republican Presidential candidate lost in 1996.

After her presidential campaign kickoff, Bachmann stepped into a cultural joke mindfield by comparing herself to John Wayne of Waterloo, Iowa. The only John Wayne that ever lived in Waterloo was the serial killer John Wayne Gacy.

Aww, I was just coming to post this.  Had to stop laughing first. ;D

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2011/06/michele-bachmann-stands-by-her-misstatements.html

Bachmann explained that John Quincy Adams, as a young boy, "tirelessly worked throughout his life to make sure that we did in fact one day eradicate slavery...."

..."He wasn’t one of the Founding Fathers," Stephanopoulos said.

..."Well, John Quincy Adams most certainly was a part of the Revolutionary War era. He was a young boy but he was actively involved," Bachmann said.

She is just so awful, so awful.. 8-P

JQA was nine when the American Revolution broke out.  But he did indeed fight against slavery throughout his career.  He did object to the Missouri compromise as James Monroe's Secretary of State.  He was also the defense attorney for the United States v.  The Amistad Africans while serving in the Massachusetts legislature in 1843.  I have to say the American Right today would have sided with John C. Calhoun on slavery -- It's good for free enterprise, good for the Republic, and the federal government should keep its nose out of it.

John Quincy, "Old Man Eloquent" is one of my favorite presidents.  His almost single handed destruction of the "Gag Rule" was magnificent.  He went from the Senate to the Presidency to the House and had the stroke that killed him at his desk on the floor of the house..  Like his father, he never took any political gifts, the only gift he did take after heated persuasion, was the Mendi Bible , given to him by the men of the Amistad.  They believe he was the last living person in Congress who knew all of the founders. 

I think Bachmann should think of what she says first instead of making repeated gaffes. I mean you are running for the highest office in the land. She is starting to make herself look bad with the repeated gaffes.

I wish I'd thought of this for a bumper sticker in 2000:

"John Quincy Adams: the only son of a president to serve as president.
Let's keep it that way!"
:)

When James Earl Ray died, I mentioned it to someone who said, "I liked his music."  ???  I think they were confusing him with Ray Charles.

i am thinking that the person who did this was perfectly serious

...and if Michelle Bachmann isn't enough for you how about her husband Marcus.  He received his PhD online and his mental health company has received (at least) 137,000 in medicaid funds.

About gay people:
“We have to understand: Barbarians need to be educated,” Bachmann says in the clip. “They need to be disciplined. Just because someone feels it or thinks it doesn’t mean that we are supposed to go down that road. That’s what is called the sinful nature. We have a responsibility as parents and as authority figures not to encourage such thoughts and feelings from moving into the action steps. ...

Okay, I'm the first to admit that I SUCK at history, but I'm not running for President or Vice-President....and if I WERE, you can be DAMMED sure I'd check my facts before spouting off!  The sad thing is I think I could kick both Bachman & Palin's behinds at a game of Trivial Pursuit "The US History Edition" (if one existed)  ::)
