According to liberals, if you are being harassed and assaulted and you try to protect yourself, you are playing the victim. Man, the liberal media is going all out to destroy Bachmann. Very reminiscent of what happened to Sarah Palin.

Yup – slander the conservative women, dumpster dive, and throw whatever stuff you can find out there and hope it sticks, or make it stick or something.

These media hacks are an embarrassment to the nation.

sorry about the cut and paste, but there was nothing i could add to matt taibi.

and it was the third paragraph i was highlighting.

the story of her being held against her will in a bathroom by two lesbians is a hoot.

Wow Mediaite, nary a mention of how other members of congress also work and live under a (for some) near constant stream of physical threats to themselves and/or their families. The Miami Herald’s story may have been a hit piece, but this Mediaite write up is a failure on its own.

Fact: Bachmann leads GOP field now so she is on her way to the whitehouse!

“Miami Herald: Police Reports Show ‘Different Side’ Of Michele Bachmann”

A sane side?

Here come the liberals with the death threats again. We all know what happened when a pissed off liberal went after Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, now we have them threatening Palin and Bachmann. It is proof that you must be insane to be a liberal, there is no other explanation for the constant violence and threats of death. If you can’t beat em, kill em.

Any sane person documents threats or perceived threats with the police.

I find it somewhat bemusing that the reporters who write these things with such sneering condesension would be running to the police like a scalded cat if they were threatened.

These are the same clowns who shake their heads and tsk tsk and tell us all about the violent right if any democrat gets a hint of a threat.

Just more of the liberal lynch mob going after a conservative woman under the guise of political analysis.

Pathetically transparent.

It really is an amazing leap to blame the victim for reporting the threats. At least we know that the left wing media are realizing the strength of Bachmann’s candidacy. They just don’t know how to treat a woman that lover her country, her God and even her political enemy.

How does the media twist a politician being constantly threatened into a negative? Oh yeah, it’s a conservative woman. Why does Mediaite perpetuate this meme without giving it the criticism it deserves?

“. . . A side of a candidate rarely seen on the campaign trail, where Bachmann has described herself as having a ‘titanium spine.”

So what this reporter is saying that this is a contradiction? Instead of defending herself and her family she should show her spine by shutting up and taking the abuse? Brilliant view of a modern woman, Caputo. You have to love the fact that he quotes a letter writer who delivers a veiled threat and then declares she is paranoid for reacting to it.

Meanwhile, in order to mock Bachman’s defensiveness we have to overlook when the press was whining about the dangers of chasing Sarah Palin’s bus.

The country would be a far more civil place if we reintroduced dueling, either with swords or pistols or any other lethal weapon agreed upon. Then provocateurs might think twice, because of the possible consequences.

And persons who slander or make personal threats against public figures might have more to worry about than a police inquiry.

in that incident with the lesbian ex-nun blocking the exit to a restroom, the appropriate response would probably not have been the politically smart thing to do. But some people deserve to be smashed in the face.

Again liberals play “blame the victim”. Conservative politics are the new miniskirt.

Good Lord, can you imagine the headline if the story were about Maxine Waters? Liberals would be shitting kittens about how horrible the right was. How poor Maxine feared for her life and for the life of her husband. Of course since the story is about a Conservative then it is she who has to be crazy.

Speaking of police reports , where is Tony Rezko , Obama’s gangster/donor/mentor back in Chicago ? Why is he being held incommunicado with no trial date ? Waiting till after the election ?

He’s in witness protection, under the name of Robert S. Rezko.

Just to confirm … reporting vandalism and threats to law enforcement somehow contradicts a politician’s claim that they have political convictions and won’t change their stance because of media criticism? And this is the learned reporting of the mainstream media? Good to know; it’s a real shock nobody reads newspapers anymore.

Ummm…that guy was a right-winger, who purposely attacked (and tried to kill) a Democrat. Stop making things up, Ms. Coulter.

That same year tensions between Bachmann and some gay activists grew heated during a town-hall meeting she attended. Depending on whom you believe — and by that I mean which of Bachmann’s own competing versions of the story you believe — Bachmann either left the meeting to avoid the activists, or excused herself to “use the restroom” only to be “held against her will” there by what may or may not have been a pair of angry lesbians. She reported the incident to the Washington County sheriff: “Sen. Bachman [sic] stated that when she was trying to leave, 2 women blocked her in and told her they wanted to continue talking. Sen. Bachman stated she was afraid and screamed for help. The 2 women let her leave the restroom when she screamed.”

that is hilarious…bachmann is such a joke and so are the clowns defending her.

Nope. He was a pot head, athiest, anarchist who hated President Bush. Nice try though.

Oh boy, not you again. Look you aren’t really informed enough to make such accusations. First of all Jared’s own classmate said “he was quite liberal” and he even went to meet the congresswoman at a meet and greet.

Also, Loughner declared in his diary that his CongressWoman (Gifford) was Dead to him for voting against Pelosi, I bet you didn’t hear that in the LSM.

I mean seriously, facts aren’t up for debate but I’m sure it won’t stop you from trying.

Dave Splash said:

Is that you Sheriff Dupnik? By the way, how did you know the proper pronunciation of Loughner? Was that because Sheriff you had at LEAST four run ins with the psycho and were told numerous other times that he was dangerous? Also Sheriff, was it because Loughner was the son of a County employee and a member of the public union?

By the way Sheriff, will there be an investigation into your assassination of an Iraqi veteran? Where your swat team shot him 61 times because one of your swat members stumbled going into the residence? What was that swat team going in for Sheriff? Was it REALLY just an information warrant? Why did you use swat for a warrant to just get information? Why did swat not allow the medics that were on site, to help him? Why did they wait for 1.5 hours before giving him medical attention? Did you personally want the veteran to bleed out after his assassination?

Now, let us get back to that psycho Loughner again, you know the leftist fruit loop with a Democrat County Public Union Employee for a mother. Did you handle the situation with Mr Loughner the way you did because YOU KNEW that you would be held culpable in the crime if these things I mentioned got media attention? Is that the REAL reason you went on the attack? Did the National Media become complicit in this cover up to help you or was it just accidental, because they wanted something like this to happen? That every leftist media pundit and source will say anything, ANYTHING and back track later, is that not true Sheriff?

Maybe you should know something about what you are spouting off about, huh Dave?

You should be deeply ashamed and embarrassed of yourself Mark Joyella for writing this garbage.
What are you trying to do? Get a job at MediaMatters or TPM?
All you did here was propagate a dishonest, leftist media attack without even one attempt to rebut the smears or put them in their proper context.
Congratulations for showing everyone what you’re all about. Your only motivation for writing this “article” in the manner you have was to cowardly forward a leftist smear, while keeping your own hands clean. Maybe you’d feel better if you simply thew a box of glitter in her face.

As the elections grow closer I’m noticing a rapid drift further to the left by Mediaite, this is nothing but a hit-piece by Mr. Joyella. There is not an ounce of substance to it, it just gives Mediaite a chance to trash Bachmann even further.

While the Herald article was an obvious slash job, it did mention other members of Congress and how they deal with this. However, they selectively chose ones that fir their preconceived mold and best served the “make Bachmann look goofy” theme of the day.

Bachmann would be remiss for not reporting these things. It is her safety and if she feels it is threatened, she – just like every other person in this country – can call the police for assistance. To insinuate that she is other than prudent is just wrong.

The Miami Herald is famous for slash jobs on politicians they don’t like and it seems that Bachmann has entered that list. I get the Herald every day (sports, movie times and local news) and this is neither unexpected or unusual. Expect more of this as we get closer. The Herald is not unbiased, honest of fair in its reporting.

This is the journalistic equivalent of the juvinile playground move of the feigned punch. Student #1 takes a swing at student #2, and then student #1 mocks student #2 for flinching at the fake move.

This is media not having anything substantive with which to bring a woman down so they overstate the reaction to aggressive posturing, and the way they set it up there is no way to win by playing by their rules. If Bachmann does nothing she is seen as weak and they can railroad her; if she reacts as she has by defending herself and employing the authorities then they paint her as reactionary and paranoid. Of course the objectionable behavior she endures is never addressed.

“Bachmann reported being held against her will in a public restroom.”

I heard about that. Marcus Bachmann had Larry Craig up against the stall door, and Michele couldn’t crawl out.

That sounds like just your opinion and not the rest of the world

I suspect if you dig deep enough you’ll find some George Soros money behind this filthy hit piece. The American Marxist Media have their marching orders from George and their will be more of this to come, but Real Americans are waking up and less and less of what they, the Marxist “mass media” are spewing will stick!

What? A Republitard talking one way and acting another? In the good ol’ USA? Surely you jest!!!!

She is delusional. As is anyone who believes a word that comes out of this pathological liars mouth. So looking forward to kicking the GOP to the curb in 2012!

I’m wondering why the righties are so obsessed with George Soros. Afterall, there are lots of democrats who have more money than George.

She is a citizen and therefore entitled to protection under the law.

I can’t support the woman in her run for the White House, but what’s fair is fair: There are liberal morons out there who are doing all they can to destroy, intimidate, and besmirch her.

Again, she is NOT “the President,” but I think she’s a decent human being and deserving of her rights as a citizen.

She on the liberal (media) hit list! Who knew! Shocking! Palin II, here we go…

Apparently the vast majority of the commenters on this story are

1) unable to read and
2) unable to follow a link

Mark Joyella didn’t write this story, nor does Mediaite have anything to do with it other than passing it on to Mediaite readers.

Gee, ya know that part where it says, in bold type, “In a report this morning by the Miami Herald’s Marc Caputo,”

That’s 1) a citation of the source of the information – THE MIAMI HERALD (not Mediaite), reported by MARK CAPUTO (not Mark Joyella) and
2) a LINK to the original story

Which, for those who can’t figure out how to scroll back up to the top of the story is here:

BTW, she reported being held in a restroom “against her will” when two lesbian women attempted to TALK to her about her homophobia.

QUOTE: In April 2005, Bachmann held a meeting at Scandia City Hall in her state senate district. But she cut the meeting short when the topic turned to gay marriage. Two Minnesota voters, Pamela Arnold and Nancy Cosgriff, wanted the congresswoman to answer their questions.

Cosgriff, a former nun, said she wanted to know about the “theological underpinnings” of Bachmann’s stance on gay marriage. While trying to get a response, Cosgriff said she followed Bachmann into the restroom where the congresswoman washed her hands but wouldn’t respond. Palmer then came in and asked about education as well.

“You have to get away from the door because I have to go,” Bachmann said she asked repeatedly, according to a police report.

When Arnold tried to get an answer, Bachmann yelled “help me! Someone get me out of here!” Bachmann told police. Arnold and Cosgriff told police Bachmann said something like “Help, help you’re holding me against my will!”

Said Cosgriff: “I was amazed and concerned when she erupted in this emotional outburst without provocation… I tried to apologize for any misunderstanding.”

As the startled women looked on, Bachmann ran out of the restroom. She later filed a police report, which an investigator described as a “possible false imprisonment” inquiry. The women weren’t prosecuted because the investigator determined that there were “conflicting accounts” and a “lack of any strong corroborating evidence that would suggest criminal activity.” /UNQUOTE

Bachman is a raving lunatic.

Michele Bachmann suffers from xenophobia.  Xenophobia is defined by the American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association and numerous other professional mental health associations as a severe form of mental illness.  Ms. Bachmann’s primary concern is winning the White House for Jesus on the advice of her chief adviser, self-proclaimed psychologists Marcus Bachmann, who is not registered to practice psychology or other forms of mental health help in Minnesota. The Bachmanns suffer from illusions of grandure and ignore their basic responsibilities (thus, Michelle has missed nearly 60% of all roll-calls in Congress, and has been absent for criticial voting on major legislation).  Her police reports on being “confronted” by two lesbians (one a nun) are filled with errors and hysteria.  She is not qualified to be taken seriously.
