Rep. Michele Bachmann Begs Supporters To Defend Her Against… Bill Clinton?

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, who’s known both for making puzzling but impassioned speeches and for having a difficult relationship with the truth, says former president Bill Clinton is out to get her.

This afternoon, members of Human Events magazine’s listserv received a special message from Bachmann, who’s running for reelection this year. The email kicks off with a sentence that sounds a little, well, paranoid, especially out of context: “Bill Clinton will stop at nothing to raise money to defeat me.” (Yes, Bachmann bolds her lede as well.)

See, Clinton hosted a “high-dollar fundraising event” for Bachmann’s opponent, Tarryl Clark, and he also sent out “an email soliciting funds to defeat me” last week. This surely means that Clinton and his “money machine” are specifically targeting poor, persecuted Bachmann, rather than working to raise money for pretty much any Democrat running for office in November.

The only way to defeat the evil Clinton—and other members of the liberal elite like Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, Barack Obama, and Walter Mondale, all of whom, apparently, are personally working to destroy Bachmann—is to help the beleaguered Congresswoman raise $20,000 in the next 24 hours. Those who wish to give Bachmann an “emergency donation” can do so at this page.

so a politcian fundraising using another politcian’s fundraising for another politcian, is out of the norm? She’s pointing out that he was doing things for her opponent and using that. He’s a big name. Do you think she’d use some random Dem dude? It’s cyclical.

Are you sure your last name is Busis? BOOM!

Bad article Hillary – feigning surpise is a bad basis to write on

Didn’t Billy Bob just attack the Tea Party? Isn’t Michele Bachmann one of the champions of the Tea Party? And if Billy Bob just hosted a “high-dollar fundraising event” for Bachmann’s opponent, Tarryl Clark, then why can’t Michele use Billy Bob in her fund raising letter?

I hope President Clinto raises a billion dollars to get that nitwit, pinhead, liar, and bitch out of office. She threatens the people’s business with her malefactor, propagandist lies half-truths and misinformation.

That woman is an idiot.
As an American, like that dolt-drung Bush is embarrasing.
Shame on you Ms Bachmann.

Jeez, when I read the headline I thought that he had her cornered in a hotel room.

They’ll always tell you who they fear by how much they denigrate them.

See: Sarah Palin.

I’d be very appreciative If there’s anyone from Minnesota on this blog who could tell me how on earth Michele Bachmann ever got elected in the first place. I always think of Minnesota as a fairly enlightened midwest state in the tradition of Robert LaFolette who was a great Populist leader early in the last century. In reality, I think this country would be better off with more women in public office, but Ms.Bachmann is an exception as she seems unusually stupid and venal.

Her district is a pocket that seems to have like thinking individuals. (also highest foreclosures at the moment)
There are more voices speaking up this year.

What I do not understand, is how people on the right defend someone who tells people not to answer Census which would lose them seats in the house.
plus she a loon

We should also remember that one of her own children has joined one of Obama’s Indoctrination Camps.

Bachmann and Grayson, two sides of the same crazy coin…

Here’s hoping we stop hearing from both after this election.

She truly just needs to be – executed.
