I’m not a fan of Bachmann but sheesh. Do you think Newsweek ran out of time before getting to draw the devil horns on?

I think Newsweek ran out of professionalism and has resorted to this kind of nonsense.

I am not a fan of Bachmann, but between the whole money spent on stylist kerfuffle and this, I have to keep defending her. This kind of stuff is just wrong. She is a serious candidate, so why not give her serious candidate coverage?

Also, Mediate – side by side with Manson? Really? Lose the subtlety key? For shame.

What liberal media bias?

They should’ve photoshopped her wearing a “god hates fags” t-shirt.  That would’ve have been even more subtle. 

What this shows is that the left has no problem with ‘lie,cheat,steal’ tactics to maintain power. They have so little respect for their target audience that deception is the norm. It’s for their own good right? They are too stupid to decide these things on their own. The epitome of leftist media.

Both sides of the media engage in this stuff. Newsweek has been particularly bad, though.

Newsweek is nothing more than the print version of MSNBC.

She always looks like that, probably every picture the photographer took looked like that. That one is probably the least batshit looking one in the bunch.

Agreed. However, both sides of the media have that going on. World Net Daily and Fox for example.

I never said Newsweek was anything but wrong, however, I recognize they are not the only ones in the propaganda game.

The overweening contempt for ordinary American voters dripping from the Team Obama media whores at Newsweek is so obvious in their grotesque smears of Congresswoman Bachmann: “The elderly, the unemployed, the exasperated, and even a few disillusioned Democrats crowd her rallies and cheer her not-going-to-take-it-anymore shtick, even as they recognize some of its inherent contradictions.” Into Newsweek’s Demented Left echo chamber, no light from the real American political world of fly-over country penetrates. This is the Newsweek that stated in 1980 that “Fringe candidate Ronald Reagan has no chance of getting a elected.” This is the Newsweek that has lost 56% of its circulation over the last 10 years.
  “Bachmann planned to vote against the debt-ceiling compromise that would ensure the arrival of her Social Security check and the military benefits owed to her sons and nephews.”
This last statement is an outright fabrication by Newsweek. The Wall St. Journal proved that Social Security payments of $50 billion/month could have been paid 100% out of the SS Trust fund with no net cash drawdown from the Treasury. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903554904576458294273264416.html?KEYWORDS=social+security+trust+fund

You think the photographer photoshopped Michele’s crazy eyes? Even Newsbusters called her Crazy Eyes.

She always looks crazed and hypnotized.

Actually, it wasn’t Photoshopped. Just as the Palin with a mustache cover wasn’t Photoshopped. I’m afraid if you’re a fan of Photoshopping, you need to tune in O’Hannity.

I totally agree

What’s unprofessional about running an actual photo? Seems to me to be news.

And, an accurate representation of her views. But, that would involve Photoshopping. Only O’Hannity and FOX “News” are allowed that.

Is there some part of this being an actual, untouched photo that bothers you? Are you that accustomed to fabricated news or no news? Have you bought into the FOX “News” shtick that heavily?

Newsweek’s circulation dropped 50% in the last 3 years, due to Obama saturation and tabloid trash. A name change is in order, Newsweak.

They most likely have an issue with both, but perhaps haven’t read the story yet? 

Apparently *rage* isn’t used in the article to describe her, but is intended as a reference to the tea party.  

They are shamelessly biased though. One only need to look at the Obama covers and compare them to Bush, Palin, Bachmann or McCain covers to know their agenda.

This is the sort of magazine that sells for a dollar (and not per copy). Frankly, I think Sidney Harman overpaid.

True, the local newspaper always publishes the worst picture they can find of a Republican and they wonder why they are losing all their subscribers. On the internet you can read both sides of a story.

This is Hilarious!!!

The TeaBaggers are just freaked out by the picture because it’s like looking in a mirror!!!

TeaBaggers! HAHAHHAHAHHHHAH!!!

To extend your Algebraic formula out. Newsweek doesn’t Photoshop and provides us truthful graphics and photography. MSNBC doesn’t Photoshop and provides us truthful graphics and photography.

I have to admit, I do enjoy the Photoshopping on O’Hannity and FOX “News”, however. Tremendous talent.

Remember her response to the SOU? Looked like that the entire time. Librul Lame Stream Media.

I suggest New Speak.

This is so freaking funny…hahahaa….

I love the Bagger crew screaming bloody murder about the Bachmann Pic and liberal media bias. You do realize that this is the magazine that has given Sarah Palin more covers than the President. 

Psst….Bachman is crazy and Newsweek is dead and has been dead since the Daily Beast merger. 

I remember the clip of a person carrying a gun at a TEA party rally but MSNBC cut out the part showing that the person was Black.

Newsweek isn’t Mother Jones or Gawker. At least it isn’t supposed to be. If they want to be honest about the game they’re playing, then they should be honest. Until they confess, it’s obligatory to point out their dishonesty and double standards.

What was interesting weekly coverage years ago has become “Tabloidnews of the Week”

PSSST…Its because she IS crazy.

I guess I’d need to see the substantiation that was the cause of the decline. When might I expect that?

Headline:  Newsbusters: Michele Bachmann Newsweek Cover Makes Her ‘Look Crazy’

We expect nothing less from the new media….it is what they do best – Manufacturing Fear in the masses.

However…it just doesn’t work.

I do give them an “E” for Effort and an “F” for Failing!

Are you accusing Newsweek of Photoshopping in the O’Hannity/FOX “News” mode or is this simply a general, inchoate bleat?

Unlike WND, Newsweek would deny that they are partisan. A fair editor would have told whoever selected that picture: “Look, we know she’s a nut, and that picture makes me laugh too. But we’re not The Nation. Find another picture.” As Bob Dylan observed over 40 years ago, no one takes Newsweek seriously. They still don’t.

Bachmann is insane but this is not a good photo. Come on, off all the photos of this woman this is the best you got?

Just think if it was Obama, they would of superimposed a circular pattern behind his head to give him the Jesus look.

Yeah, Newsweek, go ahead and change your name to New Speak.

Now that was reprehensible. To use a lawfully armed citizen to carry the racist flag for MSNBC, but they neglected to mention that the guy was black. That may be one of the low points.

oh, now newsweek is liberal?

What’s bothersome–though not really–is that Newsweek selected a photo that conformed to the caricature they’ve been building of her. Admittedly, at times she conforms herself. But Newsweek–if it desires to be thought a serious source for news and commentary (LOL)–should guard against it. It’s no surprise you see nothing wrong with the photo. You’re just some partisan schmuck trading barbs on the internets.

You can find an awful picture of anyone, IF you are trying to:  For instance, Tina Brown:

Newsweek: Michele Bachmann is “Queen of Rage” (and a Caption Contest!)

http://www.search-results.com/web?l=dis&o=16541&q=http%3A%2F%2Fbigjournalism.com%2Fdloesch%2F2011%2F08%2F07%2Fnewsweek-michele-bachmann-is-queen-of-rage-and-a-caption-contest%2F&atb=sysid%3D101%3Auid%3D6704dc44a40a0b90%3Auc%3D1307153025%3Aq%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fbigjournalism.com%2Fdloesch%2F2011%2F08%2F07%2Fnewsweek-michele-bachmann-is-queen-of-rage-and-a-caption-contest%2F%3Asrc%3Dffb%3Ao%3D16541

that’s ridiculous!  look at their op-ed pages, they’re split between conservative, arch-
conservative, pseudo-liberal, and actual liberal.  

Their circulation declined just like every other print publication. Newsweek went a little faster because it shares a space in the media with Time and others and they were poorly run and pretty much mismanaged.

The politics were probably not a factor since Newsweek readers were already skewing to one side, so the publication skewing would not hurt.

It must be nice to simply blame everything on thie existing liberal/conservative pissing contest, but some stuff has nothing to do with that.

It is all in lighting, catch a person standing underneath a light and don’t use a flash and the shadow will make their eyes look deep-set.

are you ready to show us proof of your adobe ACE status?

how can you show a person carrying a gun and not know that they’re black?

you’re just making sh*t up.  

so anyone critical of bachmann is a “lefty”?

the tabloid trash came AFTER the transition to a new editor

Fact: Bachman still looks better than Obama does by being the first president in US history to be degraded by his own actions that once again prove he was over his head and should have stayed a community organizer!

Newsweek ran that other ridiculous cover of Mitt Romney jumping in the air, “the Mormon moment”.  All I can say is the Rs have to deploy all resources at hand to counter the other side.  Of course for many years, average citizens were under the illusion that Time, Newsweek, Cronkite, et al were neutral arbiters of the news.  Now everyone knows and can decide accordingly what media to buy, listen to and watch.

DAHHHHHH. of course it does. that is the whole point of NEWSWEEK, to make any REPUBLICAN candidates look crazy. 

sean did you see anything wrong with the “hip hop bbq” headline?

Um yeah, it always has been.  Where have you been?

Charlie had migraines too.

Gee, can’t imagine why anyone would accuse Newsweek of bias.

Meanwhile, Big Journalism as their own amusing take on this:

http://bigjournalism.com/dloesch/2011/08/07/newsweek-michele-bachmann-is-queen-of-rage-and-a-caption-contest/

I love how the corrupt, liberal media likes to find pics to make Conservatives look crazy, while finding pics of Ozero that look like he’s wearing a halo.  Nope, no bias there.

Fact: Bachman is a patriot that didn’t bend or as MSMBC says lean forward and vote for higher debt increases and should get kudos for not being a part of Obama’s downgrade!

Have you seen the picture of Michael here ?

He looks like Bigfoot’s fatter , crazier cousin , only less human .

More right-wing ‘oh were such the victim’ whining. Its a posed picture…this is what she looks like! Its not like that caught her in some akward position with her tilted and her mouth open or something. She is sitting in front a of a camera posing. Its Newsbusters that is saying she looks crazy! I guess when the right wing looks at themselves in the mirror…they don’t like what the see… 

i’ve been reading it for decades

you do know that, in the last month, newsweek ran two over-the-top
ridiculous puff pieces on patraeus and palin

george will is a regular contributor, as are numerous former republican 
officials, military officers, etc

it’s now 80% tabloid trash

Fact: This was taken when she said Obama’s again out at another fundraiser during the S%P downgrade!

Interesting. What did the photographer or the developer do to get the crazed look in her eyes?

Newsweek cover stories in the last 3 years:

“We Are All Socialists Now”
“How Do You Solve a Problem Like Sarah?”
“The Mormon Moment”
“The Queen of Rage”

Along with all the favorable puff piece cover stories on Obama or the non-existent economic recovery(“America’s Back”). There’s a reason Newsweek has turned off so much of the US population that they were sold off for a dollar last year.

Quit whining!!!

how about the palin cover/cover story a few weeks ago?

there wasn’t a SHRED of criticism in that story, and all the photos
were glamorous 

Although if i were her husband i would ex hot dogs off the menu for life… Him eating a weiner is the money shot!!

World Net Daily are a bunch of birther nutcases. When do you see the editors of that site on any respectable news program? Whereas Newsweek people are on TV all the time as allegedly objective journalists.

Fact: Right in front of camera when asked by MSDNC what was Obama’s role in downgrade!

Don’t be a moron, you can find a horrible picture of anyone, IF that’s what you want.  That’s what they wanted.  Stop playing dumb.  Though I suspect in your case, it’s not an act.

so, david, give us concrete example (text, please) of why newsweek is liberal

please, enlighten us.  

except palin, petraeus, et al

the recent photos of petraeus and palin completely refute your claims…

Excuse me. Did you defend Your President as an American when they excoriated him and CONTINUE to do so? well you know what, we have all been watching the Repugs get away with disgusting comments, just short of nigger…so please the biotch is crazy..her husband is crazy and if you take a bath in you kitchen sink, your crazy. That’s why Palin grandson is a retard.Take what u dish out…ok? thank you.

 I think we’re missing the real point here… it’s not so bad that she LOOKS crazy… Anyone can look crazy. What scares me is the fact that she IS crazy. Bat shit crazy.

Do you know what circulation drop is with the Weekly Standard and National Review is during the same duration?

It’s never nonsense when teapotty teabaggers call our President names and carve the same kind of images huh? too bad  you must think we are not watching.

she’s crazy–what part of that do you not understand?

it had nothing to do with newsweek “turning off” the population, it had to do with

the decline of print journalism IN GENERAL

all magazines are suffering.  all of them.  

newsweek is not liberal just because it criticizes republicans once in a while.

during the bush years, newsweek was just as in love with bush, the wars, the tax
cuts, etc.

And, that is important to know. I’m rather fond of some crazy people. The ketchup on Jell-o kind of crazy. I don’t think Newsweek has making some blatant statement condemning crazy people. It was merely showing us that she is crazy. It’s a service.

Keep crying and Keep lying.. we the Democrats are going to kick your asses for ruining this country stupid racist ugly idiots.

I don’t understand why you are so easily manipulated.

but not your President right?

“Conservative media watchdog Newsbusters is…”

The very first sentence caught my attention.  I suppose it’s fair to label Newsbusters as a “conservative media watchdog”.  But, does Mediaite ever give a similarly qualified description of “Media Matters”?  Is Media Matters ever labeled a “liberal media watchdog”, which they CLEARLY are – or they’re at least as liberal as Newsbusters is conservative.

I perfunctory search on the term “Media Matters’ would indicate that no, Mediaite does not label Media Matters similarly.   Gee, I wonder why that is.

Tommy, you don’t have to apologize for being a liberal, but don’t you think in  the spirit of “journalism” you should at least try to be consistent?

You’re extraordinarily fond of run-on sentences, aren’t you? Interesting psychology there.

an untouched photo of her bothers you baggers but misleading and racist headlines are perfectly ok..sounds about right.. where are your morals? where are your values? 

Thank you for your glowing endorsement of paranoia. Even historical paranoia. That’s a bit rare.

Frankly, that’s not much of a challenge.

No facts in your comment, either.

Your ad hominem attack has convinced me……..that you are looking in a mirror.

and she is, indeed, totally f*cking crazy

she’s a typical white trash chick who made it due to her no doubt “long lineage of Strapping Norwegians” how about she went to a sh**y law school, Regent and had a desk job, never litigated sh**.

pure white trash…now about black carrying guns, that would be more whites…like bikers, meth amph criminals and NRA members do you think you really have white privilege? do you really? lol lmbao.

You sure have a set. I see you here whining all the time, yet no one tells you to stifle it, which by the way is a good idea if that is all you have to contribute.

bitch is crazy!!.. she should concentrate on perfecting the art of teabagging.. maybe my balls might warm up to her

fact – u r an imbecile for even thinking this nut bachman knows what she is doing.

Newsweek has been a liberal publication since day one. Anyone who has read it in the past 40 years knows that, so no text necessary to prove that – just read anything they have printed in the past.They have become more blatant about it since Clinton was in office.

Yeah I got a set. You quit whining!

Try clicking your heels together and repeating that over and over.

Try clicking your heels together and repeating that over and over.

Many of us have seen Robert’s picture .

He resembles an older , more Zombie-looking  Fareed Zakaria with a rainbow mullet toupee wearing an Hawaiian print muu muu and a string of bottle caps for a necklace .

Yes they have given Sarah more covers than the President. Read the stories they wrote in association with those covers and you will see they have been actively attempting to shape public opinion negatively towards Palin and giving near sainthood to Obama.

Newsweek has been dead longer than that merger.

Darla- To the frighties, anytime there are words on a page without accompanying pictures to explain, it must be liberal.  Seriously, they have nothing to back up any of their opinions (they are not arguments since an argument is a statement supported by evidence) so they resort to logical fallacy.  Moveover, they hate education so they will never be able to engage in serious debate.

Why is there so much fear in your laughter?

i’ve been reading newsweek for 30+ years, and it is definitely NOT a liberal 
publication.  it prefers the status quo, so it will do puff pieces on whoever is in
power.  having said that, if they support obama, it is because he is president.

that doesn’t mean that it’s liberal if it does that.  that means it loves power.

their op-eds are split between liberals and conservatives.

Is that an admissions that those two weeklies are insignificant publications and don’t carry the hefted  of a Newsweek?

Your statement demonstates that you are an obtuse bigot.

Notice, that there are no quoted examples of the charges made of the “n” word? And hate speech to the grandchild? I’m sure the fact-full Guava idiot meant to type Trig, Palin’s Down Syndrome BABY, not retarded grandson. So, now we know where great Guava liberals stand on Down Syndrome babies.

I see more liberals here call obama the HNIC.

Well, you all seem to be the ones who have a problem with her. I guess that makes the answer to your question apparent, now doesn’t it?

Making screen caps for posts with videos, I’ve realized that it’s very, very easy to get an image where someone looks awful. You just try not to choose those.

For instance, look at Breitbart.tv right now. The main video is of Barney Frank and they’ve used a screen capture of him in the middle of a word with his eyes closed. Anyone want to guess what that site’s feelings about Mr. Frank are?

This cover is just lame.

My what refinement and gentility there is in your response; but then what are we to expect from one such as you?

michelle, i could accompany your link about the armed black man with
literally HUNDREDS of photoshopped shenanigans from fox news that make
liberals look bad.  

…Newsweek’s Washington bureau chief Evan Thomas made a startling statement (startling not for what he said but for what he admitted). About Newt Gingrich’s recent charge that the media is biased, Thomas said, “This is true. There is liberal bias. It’s demonstrable. You look at some statistics. About 85 percent of the reporters who cover the White House vote Democratic. They have for a long time. Particularly at the networks, at the lower levels, among the editors and so-called infrastructure, there is a liberal bias. There is a liberal bias at Newsweek, the magazine I work for.”

And like I said earlier, just look at their covers….

Fact: What demarodents are going for more downgrade? Pitiful. 2012 is comming and all the rodents will have to find new jobs like community organizer.

Like this Pea-Bagger?  Eat your peas.

Fact: Loughtner liberal alert!

I do think Newspeak has overstepped the line here, much as I detest Bachmann. I recall, in Canada, a dramatic photo of a Prime Ministerial candidate, Robert Stanfield, fumbling a football tossed to him. His ratings sank like a stone and he lost. He was later known as the “best Prime Minister Canada never had”.

Politics is a tough game and, of course, those who support her will cry foul, while those who hate her will say it’s just her real self shining through. The photo is likely to gain her some sympathy support, but, thank goodness she has no real chance. The fact that she’s among the front runners says all one needs to know about the current state of US politics. Unfortunately, it’s no better here!

This is part of a long, embarrassing history on the part of Newsweek editors.  Here are a few examples:

How liberal women are depicted on the cover of Newsweek:

msnbc did it

no mainstream publication with that amount of circulation could possibly be liberal

i mean, come on, if america is such a conservative country (as most of you argue),
then how could a truly liberal magazine survive?

and WHY ON EARTH would a truly liberal publication do a puff piece on sarah
palin with the headline “i can win!”?

or a puff piece on petreus???  as if liberals really, really loved the Glorious Surge!

Hello, dummies!

It’s NOT the photo making Bachmann look crazy…

George Will is equal opportunity when it comes to politics. For the rest of your un-named “numerous former republican officials, military officers, etc” examples, I’m sure they, like you, knows of no one that voted for Nixon.

C’mon. They could have shown her with her mouth open and drooling. She has a remarkable talent of babbling whenever she opens her mouth while simultaneously babbling in lies. She would not recognize the truth if it climbed up side of her head.

Fact: Bachman means balanced budget! Obama means more downgrade! The choice is clear!

so, sara quotes ONE GUY, who makes a ridiculous non-sequitur….

et voila!  the media is liberal…..

note to sarainitaly:  just because much of the press votes for democrats 
doesn’t make the media liberal.  

Obviously you know nothing of high speed digital press cameras. These photograpers are shooting multiple images per minute and they do that just to catch the expressions that people would otherwise ignore when watching a person speak live or on video. The fact that Newsweek selected this photo out of the hundreds that were taken at that time shows they intentionally manipulated Bachmann’s image to get the worst possible photo on the cover. They know the liberals will be buying the magazine so they tailor the issue to their target audience. Selling magazines is what the game is, and you guys are the suckers who buy their rag. Sorry to be blunt about it but they are taking advantage of your gullible nature and profiting every time you buy another issue.

EXACTLY!!!  Like this un-retouched photo!!!!

http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=57363

Fact: Boehner beat the boy in Golf so bad he took it out in a fit and got the whole country downgraded!

It’s stunning how much blame Obama gets for anything people don’t like. It’s team Obama’s fault that Newspeak ran this photo? What next? Blame him for the drought in Texas? The hot weather? And surely he’s at fault when your favorite team loses, too.

Give me a freakin’ break!

Sorry but she posed for that picture. Don’t know if it was specifically for the magazine cover or not but it was approved by SOMEONE in her camp. She can’t really blame this one on Newsweek.

Yes, making up for the other covers they did of her… And because they realized she sells magazines.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2011/07/sarah-palin-and-newsweek-when-reporters-collide.html

george will is an arch-conservative

And your little picture doesn’t look crazed and hypnotized? Please. Your credibility on remarks like that is stretched past the breaking point.

Seriously, you’ve got to be effing kidding. I subscribed to Newsweek for 15 yrs. until I had to cancel it for it’s increasing and grotesque liberal bias. There’s no way anyone who is remotely honest could deny with a straight face that Newsweek has gone of the cliff of objectivity in recent years. You embarrass yourself to claim otherwise. 

Your question is unclear. Who created the headline, Where was it at, and What was it referring to?

This is a beautiful realistic representation of the congresswoman. She symbolizes the tea bagging fruitcakes perfectly.

The guy who paid $1 for Newsweek was scammed.  The guy got took!  I doubt he will ever get a return on his dollar.

Again, where is your proof of this? Just because you declare something a bunch of times does not make it a reality.

The rational right of center thinks she’s a t- bag d-bag as well.

Fact: The whining starts in 2012 when the election shows a Tea Party that has once again shellacked the media’s bombardment of lies and yet again had another effect on elections results that prove the overwhelming support that The Tea Party has compared too that of the liberals still only account for 20% of population!

This is ridiculous.  That’s how she looks in every picture.  That nitwit is too crazy for anything but a PTA meeting. 

You’re a pig.

Keep repeating it drone.

Fact: How about that govenor Perry even prayed for the boy in offices troubles!

by “grotesque liberal bias” you mean to say “since obama got elected”

newsweek loves power and the status quo

when bush was in power, they loved bush, the wars, the tax cuts, wall streetand note to gbearc:  obama is not a liberal

You’re an idiot.

It is called selling magazines. What about that do you fail to comprehend?

terrible argument

you’re ignorant

Right, Evan Thomas is a totally objective journalist.

“I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God.”

…
“He’s going to bring all different sides together…Obama is trying to sort of tamper everything down.”

I’ll take the man on the left instead of the man-child, community organizer on the left.

Someone ought to put together a collection of the most idiotic Newsweek
covers.  Here are some of my favorite — both for their sheer stupidity, and as an
indicator of the worldview of Newsweek editors:

We’re All Socialists Now – really an all-time classic, no?
http://bit.ly/rv0VmW

Cuba’s Castro:  What’s Next for a Hero
http://bit.ly/n7cR8h

America’s Back: The Story of a Great Economic Turnaround (they ran this last April, right before Obama’s embarrassing recovery summer program
http://bit.ly/p3gRxS

There are many, many, many more examples…..

Newsweek doesn’t Photoshop and provides us truthful graphics and photography.

Sure they don’t. Another minute, another lie, eh Kook?

There is nothing wrong with the photo. It is a fair and accurate depiction. It has not been retouched. However, I’m not totally at piece with the editorial decision to run it.

How is Newsbusters “starting a national debate” by clipping a Gawker post, linking to another from the Village Voice and saying they may be right, it’s a poor choice of pic?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the only magazines to which I subscribed are the Economist and Southern Living. Of course, a couple of magazines come with the Sunday Times, as well.

I guess if anyone ever read this piece of shit mag it would matter. They don’t, so who cares?

You’re making WAAAY too much sense for this crowd.

Freepy Crawl.

Crazy is as crazy seems.

It’s okay.  It’s Newsweek.  They were sold for $1.

So, you would have no problem with a magazine running these pics of Michelle Obama? 

Funny, that’s never how she looks on magazine covers, even Newsweek.

OMG, please stop. I almost did a spit-take of my mouthful of lunch:

“It Puts The Lotion In The Basket Weekly”

No, they don’t sit on the rack next to Cosmopolitan and Star.

YOUR HOOD IS GETTING TO TIGHT AGAIN! THE SPINNING YOUR DOING IS JUST SO FUNNY! HANNITY WOULD BE SO PROUD! TEATERRORISTS UNITE!

Not in the least. It doesn’t exist. Moderate is a prevaricator of some renown. Wherever he goes, a powerful odor of mendacity follows him. And, it’s not from the Secret Service tailing him.

Why ruin his perfect record?

a-ha, so it’s all about making money

so you admit (thank you) that newsweek definitely is not liberal

Is his admission sufficient, or do you deem O’Hannity too big a liar to be believable?

http://articles.latimes.com/2009/nov/13/nation/na-hannity-crowd13

Why do you suppose liberals feel the need to bash and denigrate the opposition with such terms as, “teapotty teabaggers”, when attempting to make a point? The Tea Party is quite enough, but you all seem to need to look down your nose at everyone that isn’t on your side.

Teapotty teabaggers is really quite insulting, whereas liberal is your self description. I thought you guys were all about fairness and tolerance. Maybe not so much?

All of Tumbleweed’s arguments are volumes of Wikipedia quotes and a strong dose of snark.

you asked for proof that newsweek was liberal. i provided it. 

Are you seriously saying that liberals are not in business to make money? Bill and Melinda Gates would be an example that refutes your claim.

Seriously? Now we have to debate how people look in pictures to determine eligibility? You can find a picture of ANYONE looking crazy. This whole story is crazier than any picture.

truth hurts, huh?

So, you have no example?

Have you got any proof or are you just flinging out a one liner? Sounds like to me that you are neither rational or right of center.

using the wrong video footage isn’t photoshopping. you pasted claims of hannity photoshopping about 10 times in this thread, and come up with that as your proof? *eyeroll*

Michele Bachmann makes Michele Bachmann look crazy.

Your assertions as well as your proof are lacking. They are selling magazines and yes, they have been known for a long time as a liberal slanted magazine. Have you read it for the last 40 years like I have?

Georgie Soros also. He’s not in it for the money, right!

“TMP”

Georgie Soros also. He’s not in it for the money, right!

“TMP”

Georgie Soros also. He’s not in it for the money, right!

“TMP”

Actually, that’s a little simplistic from a marketing point of view. It’s a provocative shot; some might look at it and say “Yeah, I KNEW she was crazy”, others “How DARE they make her look crazy!” and still others “Who is that crazy person?”…..and hopefully some of each will buy. 

Your extrapolation is nearly as weak as your comparison.

Read it again. You apparently missed something.

My, you are so superficial. Stunningly so. No one disputes that reporters, journalists tend not to be conservatives. The job description doesn’t fit the typical conservative. Reasonably well educated. Critical thinker. Creative. Risk-taker. That doesn’t mean that these journalists can’t report in an unbiased fashion. You are merely judging them by the jaundiced eyes of one suffering greatly from CVS-Conservative Victimization Syndrome. Your judgment says little about these journalists, but everything about you.

You are the one whining. The more you go on the more you whine.

Nice copy paste job. I’ve seen this exact post on at least one other sight I’ve been on today. Astroturfing?

It’s her only means of communication.

I’ve heard exactly the same stuff coming from the other side. You’re calling the kettle black here.

Michelle-in-Utah thinks “values” has something to do with shopping at Wal-Mart and nothing about how one lives his or her life.

we’re talking about a news organization, not individuals, so bill gates and george
soros are irrelevant.

a news organization whose fundamental purpose is to make a profit cannot
be trusted to deliver just liberal information, or even impartial information.

it’s sole function, in this case, is to preserve the status quo (and that usually
means, preserve the class structure)

Newsweek/NBC.Msnbc, Newsweek, etc.  They are all linked.  They’re on the phone each morning trying to figure out how to fool people into thinking the half black president knows what he’s doing.

This is a little more extreme than the usual pics of her….but not much. Hey, she’s enthusiastic! And a little loony, too, but great entertainment.

There is nothing that is going to make her look good.  In anything she does that is the way she looks.  She looks just like Madusa the lady with the snake hair and if you look at her she stares you into a statue.  That is what she looks like.  Sorry if it offends anyone.  Don’t hate that is my personal opinion.  You betcha Madusa.

Shove it up your *ss.”There is a liberal bias at Newsweek, the magazine I work for.”

Are they still on the rack? The last time I read them, what was noticeable was how thin they were and there lack of advertisement. However, they don’t have anything to worry about — since the multi-billionaire Phil Anshutz is subsidizing there existence.

i think reasonable/sane people like myself don’t honestly care how people look on
a magazine cover

and we also don’t take sides (democratic/republican)

politics isn’t a team sport

 Did Newsweek ever run this picture of Hillary on the cover? 

http://www.bagnewsnotes.com/files/2011/07/ClintonCrazy.jpg

Just asking…

you’re making totally irrelevant comments, sara

i’ve read it since around 1980.  it’s NEVER been a “liberal slanted” magazine.

you must be one of those conservatives who thinks that any magazine who
supports the democratic party is ipso facto liberal.  

NewsWEAK!

It’s the ECONOMY, STUPID!

IF Bachmann is such a laughable candidate, WHY does the “main stream” media spend SO MUCH TIME attacking her?

Perhaps their time would be BETTER SPENT doing some ACTUAL journalism and report on WHY S&P reduced our ratings (hint:  it’s because our DEFICIT SPENDING is TOO DAMN HIGH)!

 I can’t tell if Darladon is being serious.  How out of touch with reality do you have to be to think that Newsweek is NOT liberal?!  Holy crap.

that’s not the quote you copied

you just made that quote up.  

yeah..cheap.You get what you pay for.

Fact: Should I wait like a govpuppet and get it straight from my government to decide when I should?

Totally expected from newsweek…now if they put something classy, or newsworthy on their cover that would be outstanding…this is low as usual.

yeah, how out of touch am i?

only a massively liberal publication would have this cover:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:20091123_Newsweek_Palin_Cover.png

or these:

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2011/07/10/sarah-palin-cover-newsweek-i-can-win

or this:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/galleries/2011/07/18/petraeus-s-final-days-in-afghanistan.html

boy, that magazine is practically communist!

Fact: You only get photos around here with tiger suits on with hands up are demarodents! Bachman is just fine compared to that lunacy that the left portrays. Don’t forget shots of Weiner’s weiner. Manson’s got quite a bit of followers on the left!

search “hip hop bbq” in mediates search engine… 

*to be fair it is an untouched photo… do i think they chose it to be somewhat controversial..probably.. theyre trying to sell magazines.. do i think foxs website put that racist headline on purpose ..probably..they were trying to get hits and stir the pot… its part of the game .. i find it hard to get as upset about a bad picture though as I do about obvious racism. . ones like stealing a pack of gum.. while the others like setting a house empty house on fire… doesnt make either right though…

I’m sure that if we had pictures of some of the lefties on this site that they would easily make the cover of “It Puts The Lotion In The Basket Weekly” (they subscribe for the articles, not the pics)

She should have known that Newsweek would do this though and planned accordingly during the photoshoot.

that’s not proof.  and he never said newsweek was liberal.  he said the media.

and that’s ONE GUY

I believe that the first picture was photo-shopped. The other pictures are what she looks like in various stages of speaking or whatever.

What I don’t understand is that Michele Bachmann had the same crazed look in her eyes that she has on the cover of the magazine that she had in her response to the SOTU address. So I don’t understand what the problem with the photo of the magazine cover is except that Republicans want to play the victim.

I love how to you libs, pointing out bias is whining.  No, it’s telling the truth. 

You forgot these;

http://thechive.com/2009/12/30/michelle-obama-is-fugly-someone-had-to-say-it-15-photos/

What a crock! Magazine cover, or mediaite ambush photo? “We” don’t take sides? Who is “we”? Re-read your anti-conservative, anti-republican, anti-TEA Party rants, s you fail to rant on MSDNC and the left. Politics IS A TEAM SPORT! The team with the most votes from the team voters WINS!!!!!

No its your opinion. Does Fixed Noise has a bias, or are they the truth Teller(s)?

The Tea Party likes its own weird reality “air brushed and photo-shopped.”
Can’t show any warts, gap teeth or wrinkles on it’s “beauty queens.”

I’m with you and jd… Show me the money!

Which one is Bachmann?

Like this one. Very, very, very comfortable.

http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2010/01/23/theyll-kill-you-for-unflattering-michelle-obama-photo/

The liberal death threats though. They need help dealing with actual, accurate, fair, unretouched depictions. I am at PEACE with the photo running. Like I am with Muhammad drawings too.

Sounded great coming from a total leftist, cannot see any center, peabagger obama-naut.

Hmm. Harry Truman said (paraphrasing) “I don’t give ‘em hell. I just tell the truth, and they think it’s hell.”

Maybe the problem w/ everybody hating on the media … it’s all pretty much mainstream these days … is that they report what’s going on, and if you don’t like it, you think it’s an attack.

She’s not going to be president, or the Republican nominee for that matter.

Quit whining.

Ceeza, I’m responding to your comment here because mediaite won’t give me the “reply” option under your comment.

So…as regards the “hip-hop bbq” headline:

Sounds like fun. Just know where all the exits are ahead of time. Is that what you mean?

LOL! I’ve been saying she looks like Manson all morning and here I find this article! Love it!

Let’s be fair – her face and eyes are the least of that which make her seem crazy. Should the debate really be about her face or the fact that she’s,  you know, actually freaking crazy. Her policies, should she ever be in a position to sign legislation, would have a far more negative impact on the population at large than her eyes or face.

Bachmann isn’t ignorant. She just has an alternative knowledge system. 

Fact: No matter how often I post, I still can’t seem to get the words to make sense.

Left?  Manson’s a Republican. Yup. They planned to run him in ’80 until somebody remembered that he was in jail, so they drafted Reagan at the last minute, and we all remember what a mess that turned out to be.

Must be true, because we’re reading it right here on the internet.

What, did Bachmann not have say over what picture was used on the cover, as per standard procedure? How is that not the central question here? Forget all this conspiratorial garbage. A lot of you sound like you have crazy eyes, too, to be quite honest. In reality, she probably reviewed the pic and thought it looked nice – until Newsbuttheads decided to chime in with their sensational but poorly reasoned flatulence. It’s just typical…

Bachmann, like Palin, is an embarrassment to the GOP. The party should be happy that the media is doing its job and vetting the candidates that they refuse to.

Speaking of crazy, Tommy, why don’t you put a picture of your mug up there next to Michelle.

She looks like that a lot. I’m just sayin’.

typical… it’s ok though.. times running out bagger boy.. let’s just see what happens tomorrow in Wisconsin..

In a Republican presidential field that’s weaker than a cup of Maxwell House coffee, Bachmann’s
ability to connect with the energized Tea Party base has made her a
danger to the likes of Mitt Romney (R-MA) and Tim Pawlenty (R-UhRoh).

fixed

Hey everyone! Teabaggers aren’t racist!

L’Idi*t!

As a further illustration of how crazy they are, “So There” dragged an actor, Roger Moore who played “James Bond” into the argument.  Though to be fair he probably meant Michael Moore and combined his first documentary, “Roger and Me” with his last name name.  But honestly, I’m giving him way too much credit. 

I think you are absolutely correct. With a strong candidate, Bachmann disappears.

Or Vitter’s soiled diaper.

Michele would likely tell you God told her to have that look in her eyes.  Though personally I believe the squirrel named “Zippy” who lives in her head causes it.  And it’s his job is to keep the nuts in her head from falling into the bat guano which causes the odd look of bewilderment in Michele’s eyes.

What’s going on in Wisconsin? If you’re white, and you’re thinking of attending the state fair in Killwaukee, I’d have to recommend other arrangements.

She doen’t look crazy. She looks like she is in one of those picture booths at the mall. All in all, not a good choice for Michelle. On the other hand, its the cover of Newsweek.

It won’t matter anyway. Obama’s one and done with the economy tanking. http://www.gifbin.com/bin/320sw0sw7847.gif

By the way, you really nailed me dead-to-rights with that “bagger boy” comment. I’m one of those tea baggers who believes in nationalized medicine, taxing the rich, bringing the troops home, legalizing gay marriage, and decriminalizing drugs (among other typical tea bagger beliefs). Oh, and I don’t believe in the divinity of jesus. So, yeah, you hit a real bulls-eye here, ceeza.

The fact that frighties are even arguing about this is an indication of how shameless they truly are.  Two names:  Breitbart and O’Keefe.  Their lives are devoted to setting up anyone they perceive as being liberal and photoshopping whatever they think will make their case.  Proof once again that even they know they have no argument against the left. 

You mean like fox noise?   It must be easier for you to type than say these things in a room with real people since this way no one can see that you cannot keep a straight face.

Gbear- That wasn’t Newsweek that was you- heading right over the teabagger cliff.  Mind you, I doubt that you originated in a sane place yourself.

She looks crazy, because she is crazy!

John- If Darla or anyone else for that matter were interested in reading a magazine with a liberal bias, they would not look to Newsweek.  But in a Sara Palin kind of way, I am sure you view just about every publication where the words are spelled correctly as liberal. 

ROFL  I am sure he just hasn’t gotten to the r’s in his alphabet yet.

I agree with you. Fox should just be honest and stop pretending everyone doesn’t know where they are coming from. Fox should say:

“Listen, liberals, you’ve dominated every goddamned media outlet (news AND movies and television) in the nation for the past 50 years. We on the right are going to create our own that reflects how we see the world. Sorry. Thought you people disliked monopolies. In any case, deal with it.”

In all fairness, shouldn’t Obimbo picture be placed alongside “Alfred E. Newman’s” picture with and underlying quote saying, “what me worry, not as long as I have a TelePrompTer”!

lololololol…the batshit crazy dullard looks like chuckie manson in drag…….i bet all of you hobbits got that look on your faces today…hope you checked your stocks today internet millionaires….youre about to go under….times of ’29 are just about here…1000 points in 2 days is one hell of a hit on all that stock you dipwads invsted in that private prison company….its funny watching the rightwing media hacks on msnbc today, trying their best to distance themselves from the diaster they helped spur on by giving wingnuts like bachmann and justin phillips a platform to speak…..dont try to cut the line in the breadline hobbits ….limpballs and the beckster will have to feed ya

If I thought you had the discipline and vocabulary to read a book I would direct you to read the book, ‘What Liberal Media” or, short of that, look at who owns the media and that will put the lie to your nonsense. 

One thing I will give you credit for though- You have admitted that Fox is dishonest.  I am sure that wasn’t intentional- just a reflection or your inability  to formulate a thought pattern that would have alerted you to your mistake. 

“Carbon dioxide is natural, it is not harmful, it is a part of Earth’s lifecycle. And yet we’re being told that we have to reduce this natural substance, reduce the American standard of living, to create an arbitrary reduction in something that is naturally occuring in Earth.”…Newsweek doesn’t need to do anything, she’s already done it to herself.

Newsweek is a hundred times worse rag than The National Enquirer.

You can’t hide crazy.

It’s Newsweek! Do we really need to go any farther than that to wonder why they not only picked the MOST unflattering image but the background, typeface and color are all nasty cover choices – after the Princess Di make-believe image, whose to say a little “re-imagining” wasn’t used here as well, to get just the right amount of crazy injected into the photo?

Fact: She is the one when she becomes president you no longer get a free ride that ‘s the one!

The woman is crazy, she is fking  insane and married to a closeted homosexual.   Plenty of pics available everywhere of her freak show of a face.   They didn’t need to do anything to grab that pic of her. It is who she is. 

batshitcrazy

Fact: At least she doesn’t post with the mind with the substance that’s in a mason jar like you do! Really you spew like a sloan valve!

Fact: Guest speaks again or should we call you valerie! hahahahahaha………..

Look, if you relpace “left” with “right” and “leftist” with “right-wing”  you’d have made a true statement.  Otherwise your comment is sheer idiocy.

mtcolleen, I’ll bet I have more books next to my toilet than you have in your entire house. My degree is in English. In one class, American Realism, I had to read 32 novels. So, yeah, it’s not a question of discipline or vocabulary, but rather interest. Sorry, toots, not too interested in leftist pop culture critiques.

Aww … aren’t you cute, sticking up for the little woman. 

There must be a lot of disappointment in your life.  Expect more.

No, they’re loosing all the republican readers because there are too many big words and not enough  pictures.  In truth, republicans have come to eschew any media which does not conform to their views.  They seek and choose sourses that agree with themselves and flee from anything that dosn’t fit their beliefs.

P.S. You’re right. My honesty was accidental. The line “Fox should just be honest” wasn’t what I meant to say at all.

Yes, for sure. Not fair of Newsweek.

Let’s put the blame where it belongs here:  On Michele’s plastic surgeon and Botox doctor.  The woman’s so stretched and injected, she can’t even blink anymore.

Is there a  black a equivalent of “white trash” and do you use it? If not, why not? Simple question. Will you evade it?

All people that have conversations with God have that look.

b.s. my dear.  The woman is beautiful and has the most gorgeous eyes.  Thus the stupid cover.
It’s amazing what you approve of, as long as it’s ridiculing a republican woman.  

Hmmm anyone want a fixed up shot of Mrs. Obama????

Spewing a substance?  You’re referring to “Santorum?”  (Google it.)

what a pile of crap you spew.  Untouched?  lol  think again there girlfriend.  They did that on purpose.

Excuse me Tommy – but I think putting a picture of Manson up beside Bachmann is about a low as you can go.  What the hell is wrong with you?

They don’t see themselves as liars, though. That’s the thing you must keep in mind. They believe they are in a war against evil. In as in all wars, the truth is the first casualty.

she would have had no choice. Are you insane?

Yah she’s nuts for trying to save idiots like you from yourself.  

Only people who were dumb enough to think Obama looked ‘brilliant’ and voted for him, would be influenced by a bad photo on a cheap magazine cover.  It takes a bit of intelligence to actually be able to assess ones capabilities.  This conversation is pointless.  Liberals would never use a good photo of any conservative and we all know it.

the brain power of a slug.  They have to keep feeding them.  

…and you are a democrat.  lol

really?  You want to go with that answer, or have you not caught up with technology?

They do that pretty well on their own (re: the Republicans looking crazy).

like by mistake.  Was just going to ask one of your “deep thinkers”, exactly why is she crazy?

You’re talking trash about someone who is a tax expert – don’t you think we might need one at some point soon?

So, please exactly what makes her crazy?  

In all seriousness, this looks like the cover of a book titled something like “CRAZY-EVIL: How Michelle Bachmann and the Tea Party Are Destroying America.”  Yes, unflattering pictures get used all the time, but this one was deliberately silly and should be beneath Newsweek to use.  HuffPo or DailyKos?  Sure.  Newsweek?  Come on. (And I am not a Bachmann supporter.)

She does kinda have those crazy googly eyes. It’s not like they photoshopped cat’s pupils onto her although the effect would’ve been much the same.

Are you trying to tell me there are photos of Michele Bachmann where she *doesn’t* look crazy?

Have you ever read Freud?

Oh, Tedderman. Just say what you mean.

They think he was the “grassy knoll” gunman in Dallas when Kennedy was shot too.  Just kidding, I know they thought he was still in Kenya at that time.

Sorry doodoo, but you’re mistaking ridicule for fear.

Tax expert huh?  She sure is adept at suckling the governments teat.

Once people get a load of his Bushian mannerisms, he’s gone as soon as he arrives. 

I think she looks fine.

In a Republican presidential field that’s weaker than ,

…what? Your proofreader?

Which one is Michele?

Whatever.  Either way, she functions at typical RightWing levels of utter dishonor.

Visualize this sweet thing in a cozy room  -  with Charley Manson, Warren Jeffs, and Casey Anthony. Ummm.

SHE IS CRAZY! at least Newsweek didnt go to the supreme court in 2003 to get the legal right to lie and still call it news, as far as i know, only FOX, friend of Bachmann, conservatives, t-baggers, etc. has done this.

liberals dominate?  lmao…sure, showing television shows where woman work outside the home and where blacks arent lynched is “liberal”? ill take it then, and so will 99.9 % of Americans.

You’re a retarded Nigger.

You truly are a credit to your race.  

I don’t get Bachmann..she needs to throw her support to Ron Paul and get out..if she really wants change.

Bachmann’s a turner in overdrive…

Corey, I”m not sure I underand your point. Are you saying that a truly liberal media would show more examples of blacks being lynched?

Guava, i think i luv u!!! Good for u, once u get in the face of racism they start backpedaling. This prez has gotten so much grief cuz hes not white, period. These peckernecks on this board are just raging cuz a black man lives in the wh. Niw come the elitist white remarks, come on with it jethro

That pic is funny with the manson family album! What a laugh! I didnt know they are related..this explains so much.

Tommy wrote: 

“A debate over her “crazy eyes” fits in well with a strategy to discredit a candidate who is a very real threat to the GOP establishment.”

She’s, more accurately, a threat to the plutocratic side of the Republican Party. The plutocrats don’t want the economy to crash, and they mostly supported a debt ceiling increase. The Tea Party side of the Republican Party (the base) didn’t understand the ramifications of not extending the debt ceiling, which just sounds like a bad idea, and opposed it. 

Bachmann threatens the Republican Party’s chance of winning in 2012. The primary season will be enjoyable watching how the Republican plutocrats (Romney and Huntsman) do against the candidates of the Republican base (Bachmann, Santorum and Perry from the sounds of things).

It’s fun to note that the plutocrats never showed up on Beck’s Fox show. Bachmann, Santorum and Perry, on the other hand, are all Christian nationalists, like Beck.  I still believe that  Beck was shown the door at Fox before his contract was completed because the “establishment” there was afraid of how his influence would impact the presidential election. 

So is Michelle Bachmann “crazy?” Not if you want to see the wall of separation between church and state torn down. Maybe the liberal editors at Newsweek see that part of her in those Mansonesque eyes, and made it a point to have others see that too. A lot more people are going to see that cover than will read the article where her extremist, religulous views can be elaborated (by quoting her past statements).

The comparison is there to illustrate Newsbusters’ point, that the photo makes her “look crazy,” and I think it does the job. 

ok then – pathetic comeback.  Manson was a mass murderer.  Not buying tommy.

Newsweek could have tried to find another pic of Bachmann, but watching Bachmann in numerous interview scenerios in the past 2 years and her almost hypnotic facial expressions, this is a fairly accurate portrayal of her extreme and whacky views. But, this was not a good move on the Part of Newsweek. Without a question it is a cheap shot. They could have used a still shot from the New Hampshire debates.

What do you mean, looks crazy? Listen to her speak and remove all doubts!

Look crazy? She is crazy!

The cover does not make Bachmann look crazy.  Instead, Newsweek looks like a tabloid newspaper like the National Enquirer rather than serious journalism.  The attempt to smear Palin in workout gear and Bachman looking the the camera is not lost on anyone with common sense.  

Listening to O’Reilly tonight, this is the democrat playbook.  They have to take the focus off Obama so it’s time to go into overdrive to smear republicans.  Mediaite is going right along with it.  A  freaking embarrassment. 

Let me explain to you this way:

1. Even the news media has to make money to stay in business and meet expenses.
No one works for free, and the supplies used to publish the news cost money. If they don’t make money doing this job of reporting the news, they go bankrupt, just like Bill Gates. You brought Soros into this, but even with his billions he makes profits on his transactions.

2. The news media is a business, and as such sales equals staying in business. To garner an audience and to influence public opinion it is common practice to tailor the presentation to meet a certain population demographic – this is known as bias.

3. The sole function of the media used to be the reporting of the who, what, where, when, why and how of current events. That is not happening now and hasn’t for some time. Now you get the editorialized version of current events, not simply the facts. It has never been the function of the media to preserve anything, merely to relay information to the people.

So to sum it up, you are wrong, incorrect and inaccurate on all points of your argument.

I would say you are full of it, Victor, but you are so full of yourself that there isn’t any room left for “it”.

You first.

You seem to have the new talking points down pat – go for it.  BTW, How do you feel about Obama?  Good teleprompter reader?  (the problem appears to be that the idiot writing the script is stuck on stupid).

You again?

This ain’t about Beck Vicky33. And your opinions without facts are worthless, which is why I think you are an idiot!

Maybe they just caught her true essence!

Oh yeah, I am omnipresent.

I will say that the level of fear you guys have is equally proportionate to the level of your ridicule.

Look crazy? I thought she was crazy.

It is the liberals that are the traitors – you are selling our nation down the river with overgrown bureaucracy, and your support for politicians who are corrupt beyond belief.

By my service I guaranteed you the right to say that, however I also have the right to counter it. Prove that allegation, or shut up. The proof must be a quote from someone who is a Tea Party member saying those words, otherwise you are just participating in the Machiavellian liberal propaganda campaign to warp the truth.

You really don’t know anything about the Tea Party if this is your statement.

Please, REALLY? You are REALLY going to ask me why I think New Speak is liberal (new pseudo linguistic meaning, not classical meaning, aka progressive, aka socialist)? REALLY!?

We are all SOCIALISTS NOW!

By the way, you can google the original cover if you want. By the way, I really love some of these New Speak covers-

Ooops, that one is Time, but they are just another propaganda outlet as well.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, and I just googled New Speak covers.

Works for me.

LMAO,,,, Yeah, Victor loves to stroke his own ego !…

LMAO

Which is exactly why they selected that shot. It fit their agenda of demonizing her because the worst possible thing they can imagine is Bachmann getting elected.

Hey, I wish you would quit walking in front of the camera, you are making the stark contrasts stand out.

Yeah, no need to photoshop when you have the EOS Digital Professional imaging adjustment program. Just slide the exposure and other tweaks and make someone look 10-15 years older. You are such a putz.

Too bad she doesn’t do what Obama does, sick the Secret Service after those not authorized to take photos. Have your own staged photo ops and all is cool. Heck, the propaganda wing can even over expose the area behind the dear leader and make it look like he is Jesus.

I have read it since the late 1960′s and back then they had the liberal spin going strong. I don’t have to prove anything to you, read the magazine for 40 years and you will understand the bias. Experience is my proof; how much experience do you have reading Newsweek?

It has nothing to do with lighting. I have a EOS Rebel, old but takes fantastic photographs, but the software that comes with it you can modify lighting, contrast, exposure, etc etc etc. You can take a bad photo and make it great. Or you can take a great photo and do exactly what they did with this one.

I assume they upped the contrast and over exposed certain areas. It is quite simple really. Now if they did it with a Raw image, where it is not even created until you mount the Raw data in the software, you can do stuff like this all day long without any shopping.

Does the cover “maker her look crazy?”   Are you kidding me?  That’s the equivalent of the cliche, “Do these jeans make my ass look fat?”  (answer being, “no – your fat ass makes your ass look fat.”)

By the way, your bush league attempt at humor by mangling my screen name was real mature. I could be like you but I won’t. Liberals are always quick to get to the lowest level of any debate, so go ahead and prove that your character is less than sterling.

Are you calling me a leftist? If so you have no idea who or what I am. I have no quarrel with you, so what do you mean by that remark?

I’ve read it since the late 1960′s and it IS a liberal/democrat slanted publication.

Since this is an expression that Bachmania has on her face quite often, I think Newsweek was almost obligated to print this picture. They don’t call her crazy eyes for nothing. Maybe the programmers at Stepford Wives Inc. should send out someone from tech support to have a look.

Oh, you mean like Obama, Kerry, Schumer, Frank, Reid and Pelosi are paragons of virtue? Spare me your brain injury analysis of politics. You are so far left you could qualify at Daytona.

He IS HALF WHITE. He is also half Irish, according to him. Back peddling? Didn’t h call his own mother and grandmother “typical white folks”? Peabrain.

She looks crazy in every picture, and in person too!

Actually, the Tea Party side of the Republican Party (the base) did understand
the ramifications of not extending the debt ceiling, which was that to keep from defaulting we would pay interest on the debt and be forced to cut further into spending and possibly  do something with the social programs… all of which the S&P etal were looking for in order to refrain from lowering our rating. S & P would have been happier with the Cut Cap & Balance that the Dems blocked – typical Harry Reid obstructionism. Don’t sell them short as you like to do they were well aware, more committed, and less cowardly  than the rest..

Why is it “fun” to note that Romney & Huntsman were not on Becks  show ?  Why would he want them to be on his show?  and vice versa I’ll bet you like pulling wings off of flies too for fun.
Beck interviewed Romney:  http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/196/17317/.

You will think anything you want about Beck leaving Fox. Your speculation has been shown to be wrong before but you choose to ignore the truth…. so who cares what you think about it at his point, no one wishes to waste anymore time on your education..

Newsweek – what a dirty trick using the lighting test shots to put on the cover – well they are in the position to do that dirty work and they did their best to make her look her worst. She was assured they were test shots that wouldn’t be used. They have done that sort of crap before.

OK so now you are going to give irrefutable proof that she wants the walls between church & state torn down….. ………

Victor,
Oh how wrong can you be? It was actually Independents and Non-Tea Party Republicans that opposed the increase in the debt ceiling, at least according to NBC News’ Carrie Dann http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/04/11/6452865-majority-of-indies-non-tea-party-republicans-oppose-debt-limit-increase Dann even cites 45% of Democrats opposing the debt ceiling increase as of April 11, 2011. 
According to The Hill’s Shane D’Aprile 70% of all Republican’s opposed a debt limit increase as of May 13, 2011. http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/polls/161059-poll-70-percent-of-republicans-oppose-debt-limit-increase
The Tea Party Caucus amounts to 13% of the House, and 4% of the Senate. So the math does not fit to saddle the blame on the Tea Party. 
59% of the Senate rejected and tabled the Boehner plan on July 29, 2011 (51% of the Senate is Democrats).  http://www.connecttristates.com/news/story.aspx?id=646064
The Senate also killed the GOP Budget plan on March 9, 2011. http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/112/senate/1/votes/36/
Interestingly the same day it also rejected the Democratic Senate budget plan with a 58% majority. http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/112/senate/1/votes/37/
Why not stay on topic? Why bring up Beck in a topic that has nothing to do with him?

Sorry to disagree but years ago when Bachmann first came on the trail I remember seeing a photo of her in a local paper (GOP leaning paper at that) and my first thought was, “That woman looks like an escapee from a lunatic asylum…must be a bad photo.”
However, since that time I have gotten to read up on Ms. Bachmann and after reading that she believes that the Chinese are plotting to replace the dollar bill, that light bulbs are killing our dogs and cats, and that God personally chose her to become both an IRS attorney (who would spend years hounding taxpayers) and a raging anti-tax Tea Party crusader against big government, and then there was her demand, “”I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America?” and then she said. “I think people would love to see an exposé like that.”
BTW, When the comment sparked a furious controversy, Bachmann responded by blaming Matthews, insisting that “I did not suggest the word ‘anti-American.’”
Bachmann wasn’t mad that she was misquoted — she was furious because her views had been conveyed accurately, in a live television interview!
About this time I began to wonder about the, now, ongoing photos I saw of her.. MOST of which she looks crazed and I really began to seriously consider that she may, indeed, be ‘unwell.’
BUT I still wasn’t willing to commit myself to the somewhat concerning thought that Ms. Bachmann was a few french fries short of a happy meal…
BUT ….Since arriving in Congress, she has been a human tabloid-copy machine, spouting one copy-worthy lunacy after another. She launched a fierce campaign against compact fluorescent lights, claiming that the energy-saving bulbs contain mercury and pose a “very real threat to children, disabled people, pets, senior citizens.” She blasted the 2010 census as a government plot and told people not to comply because the U.S. Constitution doesn’t require citizens to participate, when in fact it does. She told her constituents to be “armed and dangerous” in their resistance to cap-and-trade limits on climate-warming pollution. She insisted that Obama’s trip to India cost taxpayers $200 million a day, and claimed that Nancy Pelosi had spent $100,000 on booze on state-paid flights aboard military jets (neither accusation was even remotely correct)…
Then 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.”
In truth, I could go on (back to her “college- if you can call that place a college) days and her ongoing belief that she has a personal in with a God that talks to her (ongoing) … but I won’t.
At this point I’ll just state my belief about Ms. Bachmann: She is a delusional and sick woman who is a high functioning paranoid schizophrenic.
The danger I see ahead of us is that, in this country, we have numerous religious fanatics tinged with the same illness who buy into her crazieness. For them to vote for Bachmann is to vote for their own insane visions of an angry God ready to do everyone in whilst saving his elect and taking them up to heaven. These folks believe they are the elect and the rest of us are trashcan people worthy only to suffer the torments of hell.
I can only hope that when it comes time to vote, those of us who haven’t been driven to the edge of sanity or driven to drink, will show up in droves to make sure we don’t have a lunatic at the helm (and in control of a very big military).
IF you think this recent picture is biased, I suggest you go do a fuller reading on the history, the life and times of Michelle “the kook in da box” Bachmann, eh?
Be well,
Ghost

And everyone that doesn’t agree with you, must be crazy, right? That is a left wing tactic adhominem. When someone doesn’t agree with you, go on the attack. What has she done that is so crazy? Many people can appear to look crazy but the thing is that the ones who actually are crazy often seem quite normal. Also the reverse is often true that the ones who look crazy, are often normal. Al Bundy (wasn’t crazy, but a sociopath) looked normal. I suppose we all are a degree or a percentage towards being crazy. But anytime that you say that some one is crazy and you aren’t qualified to make that diagnosis because you aren’t a licensed psychiatrist, we have to wonder if you know what you’re talking about, at all. Even if you were a psychiatrist, she would have to be diagnosed first. How much of that label really stems from your own biased opinion or partisan political views?

A person’s appearance doesn’t determine whether they would make a good president…If that were true, many people would not have become president. They said about Abraham Lincoln that he looked like an ape. So, you would have to disqualify her on things that really matter…

Funny, his problems have nothing to do with race, at ALL but more to do with incompetence. You should take off your RACE COLORED GLASSES and see REALITY. But I would rather a different black man take his place in office than this one. It isn’t about the color of skin but many things having to do with lack of leadership, liberal agendas, lack of fiscal responsibility etc…But I’m sure that it is easier to label everyone who disagrees with you as being RACIST. That way, you can avoid addressing REAL ISSUES. It is the liberal party line again, metaphorical slight of hand that labels everyone who disagrees with you as a racist, terrorist, bigot, gay hater, or religious extremist. How convenient it must be not ever having to tell the truth or feel guilty about it, while maligning other human beings just because they don’t agree with you. What made this country great is free speech, having different ideas, opinions, and beliefs and being able to voice them. What is hindering this process, is people who throw labels around and speak innuendo and make inferences causing divisions so that it is US against Them. America needs to be UNITED and not Divided.

That is true from his own biography. So, if the issue was about race, then, there really wouldn’t be an issue, would there???It seems that the people who are making his race a bigger issue are those who aren’t white…

Since she is a candidate, she deserves the same respect that Obama received before he became president. But some people don’t know anything about that. How many of our own family members and other people we know could have been placed besides Charles Manson and comparatively appear to be crazy. I always give people a second look when they are publicly attacked because deep down I realize that when most people don’t like something, it might really be a good thing. The masses are not the most informed group of people. They often rely on hearsay and media bias to make their determinations as is proven by these posts. I have often prided myself on being better informed than most due to the fact that I read everything, including material that doesn’t agree with my beliefs or views so I can have an informed opinion.

It is a fallacy that the way someone appears is the way that they are. Like what you said, Snidely Whiplash and Duddly Doright and Nell. Bad guys wear black. Good guys wear white. The old stereotypes are back. People still haven’t evolved past them. In this age of supposed tolerance where we are tolerant unless we don’t agree with someone. Everything is PC (politically corret) unless we don’t like someone or something. Double standards are the standard. 

Really??She would say that God told her to appear to be crazy??? I doubt that. For someone to believe that God tells you to look a certain way is ridiculous. She probably wasn’t feeling well. There could be many reasons but God isn’t one of them. It could be that the angle that it was taken was off. I could take an angle photograph of you and make it appear that your eyes are crossed. But perhaps she always looks that way. But I think that what you said was disrespectful, even if you don’t respect her or her beliefs.

The only problem with your statement is that, it is dem thing to whine and play the victim. The reason that we reply at all is that some people (check the posts) make a connection between the way a person appears in a photo to the way that they actually are, a belief that defies common sense. How many bad photos have been taken of you, that you would want to tear up??? Would it be right for people to assume things about you from a photo or from taking a word that you say out of the context of the conversation you were having? No. I don’t think that if you were honest, you would say that it was fair.

I wonder if you were really listening, Who is calling who names??? Tea Partiers have been labeled terrorists, hostage takers, hobbits, delusional, addicts, zombies, racists, extremists etc…I know that liberals have spin lies like a spider spins webs and have trouble taking responsibility for what they say and do but who, what, or when did any Tea partier call the president names, and if so what names were they (details, not insulting generalizations). Is this more of the liberal slight of hand where you attack or label other people who don’t agree with you in order to hinder freedom of speech????

This is from Andrew Breitbart: “Liberals claim to be hippy dippy and
live and let live, but at the end of the day, I have found that leftists
are intolerant, hateful, and totalitarian and they don’t like to hear
other people’s points of view”.   I just found this to be true when talking, or writing to liberals…They lie about everything and are basically putting on an act so that people will believe that they’re tolerant, but the proof is in the pudding…Just have to keep your eyes open to realize that they are the problem…

@scrzbill, You said that, “Be fair to a bunch of domestic terrorist who state that destroy America is their goal? Teabaggers are traitors”. This is the exact thing that I was talking about. If the left would read about both sides of an issue instead of only the opinions that agree with their point of view, they might learn the reason why so many liberals have left their side and become conservative…This is the liberal slight of hand that I was talking about. Attack the people who don’t agree with you and label them with derogatory names, while it is the liberals who have plotted through history to bring our country down. Do you do any research? Do you ever read history??? Take off your LIBERAL TOXIC KOOLAID GLASSES! And perhaps you can let the TRUTH set in, instead of being caught in the LIBERAL WEB of LIES that entangles most liberals and keeps them from the truth…

That is the first time that I heard that Obama is not a liberal. I was replying to Darladoon but it wouldn’t let me reply to her. I suppose Obama is a conservative that holds none of the views of a conservative, such as his views on abortion, gay rights, liberal spending, anti Israel agenda. I just have to agree with you…But the media can go both ways depending on the administration. I have also seen that…But right now, the bias in the media is liberal. But generally, it remains liberal…The whole country backed Bush in the beginning, so that is probably where the media was pro Bush. You can always tell when someone has been drinking the liberal toxic Koolaid.

Really, all liberals do is repeat the rants that they hear from others. They never read anything. Colleges are full of liberal professors. So beyond the college classroom, you need to read all opinions and beliefs (not only the ones that agree with your point of view) and delve into history and perhaps you’ll realize why so many liberals have become conservative. Liberal opinions aren’t according to knowledge but are part of a system of beliefs comparable to religion but an anti religion. Liberals are against all morality because they are Amoral. I have to disagree with you about argument, though your definition is true, realistically people argue without supportive evidence as seen by these threads. There is no serious debate, at least not here. When people argue, they pretend to have facts and they disguise their opinions to appear to be factual, but in fact, are not, at all. Mostly adhominem, in that, people tend to attack those that don’t agree with them as is the case with the liberal agenda against the tea party. I think the statement that you made, “To the frighties, anytime there are words on a page without accompanying pictures to explain, it must be liberal” is an over simplification and quite insulting that is (to use your own words) “lacking supporting evidence”. By the way, it is liberals that hate education. The kind of education they like is pseudo education, the type that teaches their propaganda, not real education, not the kind that builds the nation, but the type that divides the nation.

Toxic koolaid colored glasses again, like the liberal MSM doesn’t do that…So do you have any specific examples (supportive evidence). According to one liberal threader, all liberal statements are backed up with facts and supportive evidence as apposed to conservative statements. I don’t think that she could ever prove that fallacy.

That would be incorrect to misrepresent God in that way. Though, the Bible isn’t for the homosexual lifestyle, it doesn’t teach us to hate anyone, nor does God hate anyone. To say that God hates someone, is anti Christian and is antagonistic to John 3:16-25. Anyway, conservatives would throw her under the bus for that one.

Alas, this is Bachmann’s normal look. Any tempt to make her not appear a bit crazed would require significant Photoshopping.

One would be extremely hard-pressed to fijnd a photo of Bachmann where she DOESN’T look likt the one on the Newsweek cover.

I think they just took her picture — as any number of other pictures and videos demonstrate, she really does look bat-shit crazy.  Period.

Actually, Wnded- (short for long winded republican?)  Thank you for introducing a bit of levity.  I presume that must have been your motive since the group of opinions (again, not arguments) that you presented make no sense and are self contradictory.  Did you intentionally break every rule of logical argument for fun? 

I am curious why you have such resentment for the literati.  Did you flunk out of college or simply have such a bad high school transcript and results from your ACT that you were rejected before ever being allowed inside the door?  I ask this in all seriousness since you clearly have no clue about professors in colleges.  They are not all liberals (although your opinion is typical of tea baggers).  You have not heard of Milton Friedman taking over the economics dept at the Univ. of Chicago and sending his disciples around the world to implement his shock doctrine?  Anyone who has spent any time at college knows that there are instructors from all points of view. 

Saying that all college professors are liberal and then that all liberals hate education is so silly that it hardly merits comment.  Further, if you think I don’t know history, please cite an example and then provide proof that you do know history.  Now, you may not like it, but the best place to learn history (or any other academic pursuit) is by going to college.  Going to a website and reading a few facts (and much of what you read isn’t even factual) does not teach you history.  Anyone who has an advanced degree in history knows that it is more, much more than encylopedic knowledge.  It is about thinking and being able to formulate arguments for events in history.  It is about being able to write about it in a concise and intelligent way.  Unfortunately, you fail on all counts.  And your attempt to counter my comments fail as well.  By the way, since you are trying so hard to seem intelligent, in addition to learning about fallacial logic, you might also consult a grammar book.  ‘It is liberals that hate education.”  The word “that” is not the correct pronoun.  That refers to things, not people. 

But she looks like that in all her pics (including the ones put up by her friends at FoxNews).  That look in the eyes – it is either the ecstatic light of a would-be oracle, or the unhealthy light of insanity, or the unholy light of demonic possession.  I’m going with all of the above.  It’s basically the same look that Lee Remick had in “The Omen” — and it wouldn’t surprise me to discover that Bachmann, et al. were working to pave the way for greater evil to come.

Pardon me Frank, this is to wndedplcan5(as if there are 4 others,right?)

While I was alluding to the fact Michelle Bachmann has said God has told her to do almost everything meaningful in her life she has done.  I notice you didn’t address the presense of “Zippy,”  therefore, I will take your decision not to challange “his” validity as a tacit acceptance of his existance.  Thus, the legend of “Zippy” lives.

No, I believe the horns being left out was an editorial decision.  Had they been included there may been some who believed they meant she is “horny.”  However, given the recent national exposure of her “dancing spouse” that’s not likely.  That and the “migranes,” I get that on from the wife too.

Yes its tanking and republicans are happy, thats the way they want it and if America is burned down to the ground as long as Prresident Obama is President tea partiers and republicans will still be happy and jumping for joy.

“that’s not the quote you copiedyou just made that quote up.”

are you an idiot? 

…Newsweek’s Washington bureau chief Evan Thomas made a startling statement (startling not for what he said but for what he admitted). About Newt Gingrich’s recent charge that the media is biased, Thomas said, “This is true. There is liberal bias. It’s demonstrable. You look at some statistics. About 85 percent of the reporters who cover the White House vote Democratic. They have for a long time. Particularly at the networks, at the lower levels, among the editors and so-called infrastructure, there is a liberal bias. There is a liberal bias at Newsweek, the magazine I work for.”

It’s right there, in black and white, in my comment, and in the sun-sentinel article. 

“that’s not proof.  and he never said newsweek was liberal.  he said the media.”

Good lord, do you know how to read?

he said newsweek. and he said it more than once. and he was an editor, not just *one guy*.

“you’re making totally irrelevant comments, sara”

so says the queen of irrelevant comments…

L’Idi*t!
Yes, dear, you are.

Bachmann complaining that the cover makes her “look crazy” is like a prisoner on death row complaining that the paintjob in the death chamber makes him uncomfortable. 

Bachmann *is* a complete and utter lunatic.  i’ve seen people frying high as balls on LSD, who’ve been more in touch with reality. 

Bachmann is, by her statements alone without consideration of her insane look, quite simply certifiably nuts.  

You do not need any training to identify crazy all you have to do is listen to the pure crazy statements coming from her mouth. If you listen well enough you will see pure right wing nut job crazy!!!!!!!

By the way, I just paiid $21.87 for an i P a d 2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $657 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, BidsFirst.com
 

http://youtu.be/1fRxO_Yx99I Bachmans response to the State of the Union shows that she makes that deer in the headlights look all the time.

When are you going to stop wasting your time attacking me?

Every time I have to point out what a moron you are, although in this case it’s apparent to those who have been listening to this far-right homophobic extremist.

It’s nice you all show your true colors though, defending the likes of Bachmann and Beck, extremists who revise history to suit their beliefs.

Todd, you’re so defensive protecting the extremist reactionaries, it’s funny watching you spew your nonsense.

Saddle the blame? The bill passed. The blame for what?

Fact is the system of corporate imperialism is stacked against us, and some in the Tea Party actually get this.

Your hypocrisy (again) is amazing. You ask why I bring up Beck. Why do you bring up the Boehner plan? If your going to point your finger Todd, first pull your thumb out of your ass.

If Obama has a “liberation theology background, as Beck propagandized, I’d sure as hell like to see him apply it. He hasn’t done shit for the blacks in this country, and now it looks like he’s going to f#$k over the whites, who are not wealthy, too.

No one wrote that the Christian Nationalists want to export non-believers Todd.
http://freethoughtblogs.com/rodda/2011/08/06/this-week-in-christian-nationalism/

I have to ask Sandie, why you support policies that will leave you homeless and starving, without medical care after you retire?

I just don’t get your embrace of the corporate agenda.

Your immature and sleazy character assassinations are well documented:

You make childish and idiotic comments because you hate me for exposing your hero as a liar, which I prove over and over, and a hypocrite, which I also prove over and over.

Someday, you’ll grow up, but until then we know who here is chasing me around to show the world what assholes there are that follow the reactionary propagandist, Glenn Beck.

Oh, and you’re still a racist. And you still haven’t explained your lie why you wrote, “a wretched individual such as Beck.” Is he a “wretched individual,” or are you just a liar?

Fess up little boy: you’ve been exposed!

As always, you make no sense.

Inane, stupid comments with no backing as usual.

I have a theory about Beck being shown the door. If you’d pull your head out of your ass, you’d know that.

Let me show you how to make an accusation, since you seem to be only interested in childish character assassination.

Beck lied when he claimed his mother committed suicide. There is no evidence of suicide, no note and no reason she and her boyfriend would have. Beck make that up to rationalize his relationship with Jack Daniels.

See? Provide proof. Beck also once claimed that a suicide note was left, but the police didn’t mention that, and Beck dropped that lie.

Next lie: Beck claimed on May 4th on his Fox show that the operation to get bin Laden “contradicted every bit of foreign policy, everything [Obama has} ever advocated.” That is a lie, and unless Beck didn’t bother watching the presidential debates, he knows this is a lie. Obama said during debate with Sen. McCain, Senator Obama said, “And if we have Osama bin Laden in our sights and the Pakistani government is unable or unwilling to take them out, then I think that we have to act and we will take them out. We will kill bin Laden….”

See, dillweedio, what you’re doing is just stupid, childish and sleazy character assassination. You have to back up your claims. You love to throw insults at me because facing the facts of Beck’s lies would be painful. It’s easier for you and Sandie and Todd and others on your as hoc team of morons to attack me than to deal with the cognitive dissonance of realizing that the man who tells you over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and that he “tells the truth” is actually lying. That’s why he has to tell you that he’s telling you the truth so often. 

This immature demonstration is getting old. You, of course, are a hard-core reactionary Beckerhead, and you’ll never let the facts of Beck’s lies get in your way. Instead, you’ll help make my case, reinforce my argument that Glenn Beck has become a cult of personality. You’re in his informal cult, a bonefide, hard core self-righteous member of the Beck-inspired class of  corporate tools. 
http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2011/06/is-glenn-beck-cult-of-personality.html

You love Beck for telling you things you want to believe and you hate me for telling the actual truth about your hero. Try, dillweedio, just once, to deal with the message and stop attacking the messenger. I know that is a knee-jerk reactionary response, but just once try to respond in a semi-intelligent manner.

What is most laughable about Beck’s propaganda about Obama is that Obama is a corporate tool himself. Beck and Obama are on the same side of the tension between the people and American corporations. The progressives that Obama has betrayed have figured that out. They may vote for the Green Party instead which is, in my view, a vote for the Republican Party in 2012.

If Beck wasn’t using people to make a fortune, he’d be able to just go on a vacation and let Obama destroy himself. Then you’d go find another reactionary propagandist to tell you what you want to believe.

I guess you are just too blind to see that your ridiculous blathering on about being a victim is just so much cry baby whining. You claim to be a man, well I see nothing manly in your attempts at bullying people. Actually you seem rather weak and impotent when you begin to do this, and when you escalate to the point that you are picking on women, shrieking profanity and making all manner of ineffectual insults and threats it makes you look decidedly un-manly.

You think you have been wronged by people who frequent Glenn Beck’s site, well Victor, you had well over a year of free reign there, screaming your Beck hate and bullying anyone who got in your way. That is over. Some of us stood up to you and your self righteous, and totally off base, insults, and now you want to convince everyone that you are the poor little mistreated one.

What you are is pathetic and not very smart. You hit a hornet’s nest with a stick and now you want the hornets to leave you alone? You should have thought of that before you started aggressively picking fights.

After your credentials for GlennBeck.com were revoked, you continued to display your arrogance and lack of respect by sneaking in under a half a dozen assumed identities in order to fool the administrator there and continue your campaign of harassment. Well, how’s that working out for you?

Did you get kicked off GlennBeck.com again?

Bingo! The photo was unnecessary.

So, I just take the Bible for what it is, I guess, and recognize that I am not a scientist, not trained to be a scientist. I’m not a deep thinker on all of this. I wish I was.

That seems to me very indicative of bias as well.” - Michele Bachmann quoted in the Stillwater Gazette, September 29, 2003.”No one that I know disagrees with natural selection — that you can take various breeds of dogs … breed them, you get different kinds of dogs,” she said. “It’s just a fact of life. … Where there’s controversy is (at the question) ‘Where do we say that a cell became a blade of grass, which became a starfish, which became a cat, which became a donkey, which became a human being?’ There’s a real lack of evidence from change from actual species to a different type of species. That’s where it’s difficult to prove.” - Michele Bachmann quoted in the Stillwater Gazette, September 29, 2003.”On the morning of December 7, 1941, local St. Paulite Orville Ethier was aboard the USS Ward, a boat manned by 82 Navy reservists from St. Paul, when a small Japanese sub appeared near the entrance to Pearl Harbor. The Ward fired two shots, one of which struck and sank the sub, which constituted the first American shots of World War II. The commander of the Ward relayed a message about the incident back to military headquarters in Honolulu. The message stated “We have attacked, fired upon and dropped depth charges upon submarine operating in defensive sea area.” The message, sent more than an hour before the 8 a.m. attack on Pearl Harbor, went unheeded.You are a type of Orville Ethier – a patriot looking to secure American freedoms. The question is, will the Senators of Minnesota act like the Honolulu military headquarters and ignore your message? Today we face perhaps the greatest attack on the family in our lifetime.

Your assumptions are that no one can survive without the Federal welfare system. Sorry, but there are those of us who will do nicely without government intervention.

Speaking for myself, since I would not do that for Sandie, the fact that you don’t get something is not really all that compelling.

Did the thought ever occur to you that you are an extremist reactionary? There is plenty of evidence to support that on your pathetic blog.

When are you going to stop wasting your time going after people who point out what a putz you are? People are smart enough to read and understand what they need to know without you putting your often 180 degree out of phase version out there. Who do you think you are persuading? No one cares what you think because your likes and dislikes are amplifications of your narcissistic behavior. You are mere inches away from being a sociopath. Get some help. One thing you are good at is picking on women. Do you hate women or fear them? The way you go after them it is hard to tell.

It’s worth pointing out to those who are not familiar with Bachmann’s thinking and beliefs just what she’s about:

“Inane, stupid comments with no backing as usual.”

So are you denying your posts and that no reader blog of yours? I got all my information about you from your flapping pie hole.

“You, of course, are a hard-core reactionary Beckerhead,”  You are not only a poor judge of character, but you know nothing about me, so keep on making an ass of yourself. Did it ever occur to you that instead of being a Beck supporter, I just don’t like blowhard bullies like you?

Deal with what message? You have no message. You are a mental case with a computer.

You keep getting into trouble by forcing your opinion on others as if you were some great savior. You are just a narcissist and you only care about what you have to say – you are one arrogant nut job.

In the scale of things you are a nobody, and that is what you cannot stand or accept. The infinitesimal nature of your being is what you fear more than anything. What if no one really cares what you say?

Deal with that message.

And as always you pick on women instead of confronting a man. What a weak and impotent man you are.

Victor,
I have read your theory, where is the backing for it? As the Facts dis prove the theory. 

Maybe, but at least she doesn’t look like one of the chipmunks… like hillary.

mmm. maybe not all of us can live off the system (sound familiar).

Sounds like victor has alittle Eurotophobia thing going on!

Victor,
“The bill passed”…on the third attempt to get a bill passed The Senate defeated two of them. Victor, you are aware that the FBI has labeled Christian Nationalist as terrorist prior to 2000, in the Project Meggido report. Where has the FBI labeled Beck a Christian Nationalist? Are you qualified to label him as one? He is not a member of World Church of the Creator (now Creativity Movement) he is a Moron, which is also not a Christian Nationalist church. Therefore your theories make you sound as idiotic as you really are.
Seriously your going to use Chris Rodda as a source? The Chris Rodda of Daily Kos, Military Religious Freedom Foundation, Huffington Post, talk2actiondotcom, etc? No bias there.

When are you going to stop wasting your time attacking me? You are attacking me again right here calling names. Childish but that is your way.

As far as Bachmann or Beck, or anyone else for that mater , I set the record straight where you post your fallacies and hate rhetoric. That is not attacking you – you always have to make it about you. That is the NPD problem you have. Deal with it.
I defend myself from your lies and smears, so when are you going to stop wasting my time?

Victor,
When are you going to stop mentioning us on your blog or on this website?How does getting proved that your theories do not meet the facts prove that those that disagree with you are morons? Was it Sandie that moronically lied about coining the the “Yellow Propaganda”? Nope, that was Victor Scott Tiffany.

Victor,
Why do you support policies that will leave you jobless, homeless and starving? Victor, do you have a  job? Then why do you support the corporate agenda? When are you going to screw the man and go out on your own?

Idiots don’t get it…. you know i can open my shop tommorrow and put 6 -8 people to work…. but i’m not stupid…. with all these regulations…… i guess they can leach off the system instead….

I don’t support policies that will leave me homeless and starving and that is where it will end up if Obama keeps this country going in that direction. What the TEA Party is trying to do will not leave me homeless or starving. I do not need the fed gov to be my nanny.
It isn’t any corporate agenda, that’s the problem with the left – mischaracterizing either intentionally to create an unpleasant picture or because they really cant comprehend it..

All this ragging on Benny, the personal attack, and you are delusional enough to cry that you are the victim.
Keep it up, you are doing a good job of embarrassing yourself. Maybe not – you have to be aware of what you are doing to feel embarrassed.

And as always it just seems that way to you because you can’t comprehend it.

Are you holding the polling graphs upside down or what?

That is true, and you can’t hide butch either… bet obama had his weasel body slapped around a few times by michelle….He should have finished his happy meals…. to gain some weight…

And some author for a left wing website KNOWS what someone else thinks and believes. Just remember that Victor when the shoe is on the other foot.

I think he likes autoEurotophobia.

So do you think that picture is going to make suddenly believe obamannochio?

I guess lying is virutuous to libs if it serves your agenda.

Yeah or picture of Obamanochio, guess they’d have to continue to aribrush back the nose alittle.

Yes a balance budget is crazy…….  to expect from washington.

So, I guess you’ve not got a response to my point? The point that you are posting comments in a topic thread that have nothing to do with the thread. But, rather, only promote your agenda of lying about Beck. Is that your point Vicky33?

Not everyone is destined to live like a pauper in retirement Vicky33! This is why you’re an idiot!

Ooh, ooh, ooh! Can I answer this one. Vicky, Obama has a liberation black theology background because he says so.

That’s the same logic you use when you claim you don’t hate Beck, isn’t it?

Something is so because you say so, despite the fact that your actions suggest otherwise.

That’s the same thing Vicky33. You see, you can’t not apply the same principle to “your man-child” that you do apply to yourself.

Isn’t this fun?

This is why you are an idiot!

The debt ceiling debate has nothing to do with sexuality Vicky33. This is why you are an idiot!

Victor, just who do you think is going to spend the time to read that post? I know it is full of bull without reading every detail, mainly because it came from you. You are the king of taking things other people say out of context and using that to smear them. You are always crying about being attacked and smeared by other people, but what is your chief tactic, Victor? Come on, you can say it – you smear people all the time and you did so on glennbeck,com for over a year without anyone stopping you. You had your login credentials on that site revoked for behavior and still you persist in the same damned thing.

Well, tell us Victor, have you been locked out of glennbeck.com again? You never seem to answer that question so it must be that you got booted again. Someone like you cannot help themselves from being a repeat offender, and you would be there today if you were not locked out. You are so transparent, you narcissist, that I am surprised you even have an audience among the left.

TO you liberals who read Victor’s posts and his blog, you should know that he is a pathological liar, and he claims to be a Republican. He is no more a Republican than Jimmy Carter was. His blog and just about everything he has every written is a pack of lies, and not a very good one at that. He also contacts the families of posters who disagree with him and threatens them. He is not a person to be trusted.

So Victor, if you are still reading and not covering your eyes pretending no one saw this post, why don’t you come over to glennbeck.com and visit some more? Oh, I forgot, you can’t because you lack the sanity and self control to be allowed to post there anymore.
