(Think Progress) Obvious Michelle Bachmann (R-Turner Overdrive) on Glenn Beck's radio show: "Well, Glenn, I have experienced that throughout my political career, being labeled a kook". Truth in advertising DOES work on labels, evidently   (thinkprogress.org) divider line 78

Yeah, but you ain't seen nothing yet. She seems to be one of the more outrageous American woman that these eyes have seen.

I didn't vote for her. I'm sorry my neighbors are freakin' wackos :(

Michelle Bachman calls for armed rebellion against the United State government.

If you have a problem with, email your congress critter and ask them to condemn these statements.

It doesn't surprise me that Obama's admin supports a global currency. He's very anti-American, you know. The media confirmed this with their investigation.

Glen Beck and Michelle Bachmann in the same room together? Weren't they concerned of a critical mass of craziness that might destroy us all? Very irresponsible of them.

 
PascalsGhost 2009-03-27 11:41:00 PM  
There is simply no way Republicans are serious. Its all a huge troll act. They don't want to hald any power ever again for whatever reason.

But people, and entire politcal party, cannot possibly be this collectively stupid.

You watch, you'll get some in here defending her this very thread. Within a few months, John Boehner is gonna call news conference and then jump out like Austin Koucher in "Punked" and the entire country will have a great laugh.

NewportBarGuy: Wait until his daddy dies and he joins the U.S. Senate. That'll be fun. At least Rhode Island will be rid of him.

Dude...are you suggesting that when a Massachusetts senator dies, a Rhode Island congressman will take his spot? You do realize that Rhode Island and Massachusetts are two separate states, right? And the House and Senate are different entities?

Most importantly, you do realize that the Governor of Massachusetts can't just Blogovich someone into the seat, there will be a special election...right?

She almost lost to a dude named ELWYN TWINKLEBERG!!!!!

If the Democrats had put a single dollar into this race, picked someone not named ...Elwyn Twinkleberg before mid October, they could have gotten rid of her.

I think the DNC wants her there. I think that she is so batshiat crazy that they want to point to her, and she doesn't do much damage because...it's Minnesota. It's not like she has a "delegation". The other congressman ACTUALLY got sworn in on the Koran.

It's MN, the solitude drives some residents crazy.




I still don't get it. That isn't enough. I mean, this biatch honestly BELIEVES we are going to a one world currency and Bush was coronated by God himself. I mean, you can tell she isn't pandering, shes the reall mutherfrkking deal.

ProdigalSigh: It's MN, the solitude drives some residents crazy.

Nah. The people out in Lake Wobegon are cool. It's the endless twin city burb-dwellers (Bachmann's district) that are nuts.

Still, the fact that Bachmann and Ellison's districts touch... there are houses that face each other across the street in those districts... is amazing. Then again, this is the state of Ventura and Franken.

Oh, she's 10lbs of crazy in a 7lb bag, no doubt about it. But you're asking where she came from? I have no idea. If you're asking why she keeps getting elected, I'd say that the DNC wants her exactly were she is.

Every time she says something like this the blogs pick it up and mock her, Keith Olbermann runs it on MSNBC, and then three days later, when everyone even tangentally involved in politics has heard about it, the DCCC sends out a mailer asking for donations to "help rid the house of people like her", and they get a million dollars.

Remember how the 24 hrs after Sarah Palin's speech at the RNC turned out to be the biggest single day of donations in the entire campaign......for Barack Obama?

Seconded. I don't see how a state like MN elects the craziest person to Congress. And re-elects her, after she had already very publically fouled herself with the worst sorts of crazy bullshiat.

I don't doubt what you are saying for a minute, but why do the people elect her? Does the crazy whore rake in federal money? I mean, the economy is in shiat, we are at war, and I'm seeing my rep on the radio circuit talking about one world currency like its 1992? So obvious she doesn' even understand the basics of government or law? Did you see her questioning Geinther asking where in the constitution gave him the ability to control banks? Like if it isn't there, it isn't law? He kept just trying not to laugh and she wouldn't let it go. It was like "Wait, some people may not have caught how confused I am. Let me repeat it"

I dunno man, if the right gets power again, I AM leaving the country. For reals. I don't even wanna be part of that shiat.

The question you have to honestly ask yourself is this. And I'm being serious dude. Do you want to ever have any people who represent you in positions of even marginal power in your country's government again, or do you just wanna see guys like Beck and Rush piss off the obamabots?

Cause you can't have both.

He is. Honestly, Beck REALLY is going to. I mean, he might pull a gun or something. The question I am gonna ask is Fox gonna be held even remotely responsible for it? They gotta know.

She's got the money. Hell, even after Kos and the people here threw money at Tinklenberg, the RNC threw her MORE.

So remember, the GOP wants her in power. Keep that in mind.

Can you imagine the outrage of the right wing talking heads if a democrat during the bush years said things similar to what she's saying now? And before any of you douchebags start in, the outrage at bush was for actual, legitimate reasons.(and still is) The right wingers have to manufacture their outrage over nonsense most of the time to make themselves feel better.

Umm people did. Remember Charlie Rangel's draft talk? There was Jim Webb's comments after Bush asked how Webb's son was doing. Please don't act the Dem's shiat don't stink as bad as repulicans.

Actually the more I think about it, the more I'm on your side. Same with the crazy one from Florida a few years back (can't remember her name, Katherine something I think).

Realistic reasons for her election, which are really more like questions. If I was working on a thesis for Political Science and lived in the area it'd be a fascinating case study:

1) Straight ticket Gerrymandering?
2) Local activism, perhaps she knows a lot of the higher ups in her district and they actually believe in her, she could be sane in normal conversation.
3) Local activism by her staff, she could have a lot of relatively sane competent people on her staff that drummed up support for her.
4) The Lil' Abner effect, i.e. "We voted her into office in Washington to get her to leave here." What was her position immediately prior to this?
5) National activism, she's at least made herself (and therefore her district) relatively famous, perhaps we only here the crazy and she actually does pull a lot in for her district.
6) Local media, she could spend a lot of time/effort making sure her district "knows she cares," for instance, showing up at a cop's funeral or something similar can get her a lot of die-hard voters. Especially if the national crazy is mostly kept from the local sheets.

A certain combination of these things coupled with all the others farkers have posted could swing it. But I think it's ultimately a very study-worthy formula for American politics as a whole.

Dude, Fark faux pas, she was in Firefly she's now in Madmen and Life if her character returns. But not knowing Firefly cannon... go here and watch a few episodes, you need the first to understand it, and it helps to watch them in order but she's in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" and "Trash"
