Is that a teleprompter in the background? Doesn't she know how much her supporters hate anyone who uses one?

cameroncrazy1984: Shostie: Anyone else find this whole "human megaphone" crap kind of annoying?

Eh, kind of. I don't think a regular megaphone has the same impact though.

violentsalvation: Not only is it annoying, it makes them sound like mindless drones.



Well it's against the law for them to use bull horns. It's not like they are trying to be cute. Holy crap.

Listen, you cranky old biatch, if you have a beef with the Occupiers, fine. But don't hide behind the old "they hate our soldiers" crap.

Sorry Bachmann, you've made it clear that you don't deserve any respect.

Can we now have a serious national discussion about pooping on her campaign bus?

Shostie: Anyone else find this whole "human megaphone" crap kind of annoying?

I know that Bachmann is a little brassy, but calling her a human megaphone is just plain mean.

/The woman can plumb eat a corndog!
//All the way to the stick in one bite.
///It's still the State Fair record.
////So she's got that going for her -- which is nice.

That's a pretty pathetic counter. I mean who would actually be naive to buy something that stupid and...

chiett: That's an interesting spin on a group of children crying for attention.

Oh, right. Republicans.

CanisNoir: Don't like what someone is saying, shout over them and prevent them from being heard, that is freedom! It's wrong to infringe upon someone elses rights, unless you're the one doing it and they happen to be a political opponent. That's tolerance!

The protesters were *not* exercising their right to free speech, they were infringing upon another persons.

0/10. Someone was obviously picked last in dodgeball a lot.

djkutch: I gotta agree with her that Iraq should reimburse. Dubya promised the war would pay for it self.

Maybe we should invade again?

We should dig up Saddam and kill him again.

//won my death pool 11th hour when he got his on 12/30, I love that man

Nadie_AZ: I'm tired of her childish antics. Perhaps we should look deeper into her husband and how he handles their children.

You mean whether he sticks his penis into their behinds like some sort of Penn Stater?

Oh sure Iran is the threat..... Israel has nuclear weapons too. So no need for the U.S. to be the one accused of Genocide when Iran disappears and the rest of the World gets hit by Nuclear fallout.

Dusk-You-n-Me: I really wish these GOP women would stop acting like Veterans are god damn possessions they can bring up when they feel threatened. You don't own them. You owe them. So disrespectful.

She treats them like Veterans Stadium- throws peanuts at it, take a piss all over the floor when the line got too long.

Bachmann plan would cut veterans benefits, how patriotic of her

You break it! They buy it!

Stolen from thread comments

Thought I might just point out the irony given that the protestors' objection was to precisely Bachmann's use of that sort of divisive language.

They were saying it hurts and divides America to call everyone who disagrees with you "UnAmerican."

In passing, the nice thing about the people's mic is that it can amplify a single human voice above the fray -- even if only for an instant -- and combat the corporatist ideology on a level ground.

It's a metaphorical microphone, too. It amplifies the voice of those who traditionally might have been excluded from the national and global conversation.

These movements are about starting conversations. Those trying to shut them down really are starting to show their true colors.

When Bachmann came back on she apparently said something like "well, don't you just love the first amendment?"

Well, the people do -- but clearly it scares and terrifies you. I wonder why that might be?

Look at those Occupy people! Hatefully pulling an injured Marine veteran from the riot police!

What a waste of time for OWS. It's not like she has a snowball's chance in hell of winning the nomination anyways.

She is very brave. She goes outside where a house might fall on her.

Ozarkhawk: Listen, you cranky old biatch, if you have a beef with the Occupiers, fine. But don't hide behind the old "they hate our soldiers" crap.

Especially since there are more than a lot of OWS supporters who are veterans.

/I love the look of Republicanface when they first hear "MIC CHECK!".

Elizabeth Warren handled the heckler so much better.

Remember; Tea Party disrupting Democrat's town halls = FREEDOM

Non-Republicans interrupting Republican events = UNCONSTITUTATIONAL

whoa...she really lost her cool there subby.

holy cow!

checks article: " Don't you love the First Amendment?" she asked the crowd."

This losing of her cool is unprecedented for a candidate. OMG. History's Greatest Monster.

Muta: Elizabeth Warren handled the heckler so much better.

Democrats handle hecklers like this...



And Republicans handle hecklers like thiiiis...

One of our lead medics served several tours in Iraq.

Fark Michele Bachmann. Every single person involved in the occupations is ten times the patriot Michele or any of her rightist lickspittles can claim to be.

Oh, and the peoples' mic is highly effective at serving as ad hoc amplification, and it's available to anyone to use. Not like a bullhorn or microphone.

Where was this coont when people booed the gay soldier at the debate a few weeks back?
If she was on fire I would not loss on her to save her farking ignorant ass!!

fark the GOP side ways with no ky

her foreign policy speech aboard the USS Yorktown

What gives her the right to use a vehicle built using billions of taxpayer dollars as her personal campaign pulpit? EABOD and DIAF you hypocritical twunt.

Farxist: whoa...she really lost her cool there subby.

holy cow!

checks article: " Don't you love the First Amendment?" she asked the crowd."

it's much more respectful to soldiers when you fracture their skull and throw a flash bang grenade at anybody who tries to help them.
