Michele Bachmann Thinks Bill Clinton Wants To ‘Take Me Out’

video
» 25 comments

Earlier this morning I noted that former President Bill Clinton was likely going to find himself in the crosshairs of some Tea Party leaders (other than Rush Limbaugh, that is) following his recent remarks on the similarities between America circa the Oklahoma City Bombing and today’s Tea Party rhetoric. Well he didn’t have to wait long. At a Tea Party rally in Chicago on Saturday Rep. Michele Bachmann told a crowd that Bill Clinton wanted to ‘take her out.’ As in, get rid of her because of her “gangster government” description of Barack Obama last week.

Bachmann’s remarks were, according to Bachmann, in direct response to Clinton calling her out by name in his now notorious speech at the Center for American Progress. Except that he didn’t. Actually, he didn’t mention anyone by name or use the word “gangster” in that speech. But let’s not let niggling facts get in the way. For the record, what Clinton did do was give an interview to the New York Times preceding that address in which he told the reporter that “They are not gangsters…They were elected. They are not doing anything they were not elected to do.”

This somehow translated to Bachmann as Bill Clinton wanting to ‘take her out,’ which she is apparently grateful for because she is a lowly second term congresswoman who is at the bottom of the food chain and he is making her famous. Funny that. Video of Bachmann’s remarks below.

    That’s a set-up, right? You really want me to make a “Hillary Clinton” or “look at who he married,” comment, right? You (for unknown reasons) are lobbing us a softball with that… right?

    Well, I won’t take the bait.

    Damnit.

  • The Real Royal King

    Hey, INB, I didn’t vote for Hillary!, either.

  • The_Reasonable_Lib

    Sorry, but this woman has to go. She’s built her entire political career upon demonizing and attacking another region of society. She seeks to abolish social security and has a fundamental lack of understanding of policy. furthermore, her divisive rhetoric calls out the cooks in our society.

  • The Real Royal King

    Not to mention all of the kooks she calls out.

  • The_Reasonable_Lib

    LOL, that’s what I meant, thanks for the correction.

  • TylerDurden

    “Take her out?” Bill wants to take every woman but Hillary out.

  • MDT

    The “a crazed looking woman with a loud, shrill voice..?”

    You ARE an intellectual after all…no stooping and scraping for you.

    BTW – Bill simply wants a date with her…or anybody with a pulse apparently.

  • Olby Sucks

    Huh-huh, no stooping and scraping for the phony royal queen…never.

    Of course RRK didn’t vote for Hillary, he lives in the UK. His comments on the U.S. are meaningless.
    I think Bachmann confused Bill Clinton with one of the other left-wing pigs that hate powerful women. When it comes to sexism you can’t beat liberals.

    I’m sure that of all the things Bill Clinton wants to do to Michelle Bachmann, taking her out is not one of them. To the contrary, I’m sure he would want to keep it all behind closed doors.

  • JamesA1102

    “Take her out”?

    On a date?

    Well, Bill has always been a dawg so I wouldn’t put it past him. LOL

  • PortTabacco

    Who knows? Bill Clinton I read has no conscience at all.

    Unless, for the moment, he’s in the UK.

  • Munch

    That’s OK Michelle, just don’t let him give ya a drink.

  • Ted

    Gordo – I think you’re confusing Bachmann with other tea-bagging numb-nuts, like Glenn Beck – there are similarities. And Gordo – I think you’re just confused…don’t tell me…tea-bagger? How could I have known!?

  • http://gordonbloyershow.com gordonbloyershow

    Ted, When you get a brain, send out a press release.

  • Ted

    Gordo – Do you even know what a “press release” is? Clearly, you are among the low IQ tea-bagging ranks, simply based on your posts which are nothing less than tea-bagging dumb; and I am very sorry about that Gordo. Have you purchased your survival seeds?

  • http://gordonbloyershow.com gordonbloyershow

    Ted, you are a loser moron. Have you ever had a job? I get paid for my opinions and advice. Do you get paid to be a mouthpiece for Obama? I know you can’t write a press release. They won’t accept them in crayon.

    *drink*

  • shootfromthehip

    Bill does a lot of things but he doesn’t do crazy.

  • NORBIT

    This is so appropriate, it would fit into most of these threads today:

    Why are Progresives so OBSESSED with Group Identity – particulalarly racial identity?

    When will Progressives EVOLVE to understand the nature of Self-Actualization and Autonomous Thought??

    Hey Progressives: YOU CAN’T FOOL MOTHER NATURE!! LOL!!

    Remember this as the results come in in November!!!! LOL!!!

    Oh, you are one fine human being. HACK HACK HACK Sorry I had to cough after that lie.

  • pyrope

    Chasing skirts in the “ovum” office is not crazy? Hell, ol’ Bill was on thorazine for a good many years and they generally don’t give that one out to sane people. Cliton is almost as much a narcissist as -0bama, and that’s saying a LOT! Like -0bama, Cliton can never admit when he has been wrong about a thing. Of course, if he could, he would be apologizing like 20 or 30 times a day.

  • shootfromthehip

    Monica may be a lot of things (slut comes to mind) but she was not and is not crazy.

    All presidents are narcissists pyrope! Sort of goes with the territory, captain obvious.

    Lastly, you are wrong about Bill. He has been candid with his mistakes and is very reflective in interviews.
