I’m trying to think of some clever way of saying Michele Bachmann is embarrassingly stupid. I mean, come on. If you know someone who wants Bachmann or Palin to be President, you know an idiot.

Michele Bachmann would make a ton of noise but she wouldn’t play outside Republican circles. You want to beat Obama? Then you need someone with broad appeal. She’s not it but let her run so we can all have a good laugh.

Any bets on how many comments in before someone calls Bill a RINO?

BORing still can’t beat the broken clock.
But, once in a day is a start.

Rep Bachmann visits Concord, N.H. and mistakes it for Concord, Mass. Forgivable mistake? Apparently not.

I wonder if Bill thinks she is kinda like a cartoon character…

I do indeed think her mistake is forgivable. That isn’t the point though. If you are thinking about running for the highest office in the land and you know the world is watching and especially if you are a Republican – how hard is it to just be extra cautious. Women have a tendency to worry more about how they look and their makeup and the camera shots then what is coming out of their mouth. And if I hear one more person say well it isn’t as bad as 57 states, etc I think I will throw up! Is barry boy the standard we want to set – NO – I don’t want our candidate to be even close to that moron. Come on we can do far better then that.

She won’t be forgiven for her mistake in the liberal media; she is a republican…they are never forgiven for their mistakes. Obama’s 57 state comment has been forgotten or ignored or spiked or laughed off or anything because he is a democrat.

He will lose in 2012, he is a one termer, but I’m not sure that Michelle is the one who will kick him to the curb, but the curb is his. He’s done.

Frances,
Way to write a SLEAZY headline.
Nothing misleading here.
Nothing partisan here.
Nothing insulting to your readers intelligence here.
Frances, what were you thinking when you decided to mislead the people who make your job possible?

She’s more intelligent than ANY and I mean ANY Democrat female politician. You can bet that .

Bachmann said she home schooled her kids for a while. I hope they didn’t pay any attention when she got to history.

That’s a nice backhanded compliment on a couple of levels.

It seems like FOX is pulling a Ron Paul with Bachmann because they don’t want her to be a candidate. FOX (Ailes) has his pick who he wants nominated. You will start seeing Hannity, Beck and O’Reilly push for certain candidates.

But while some on the right consider her an “intellectual”

Based on what exactly?

“There are hundreds and hundreds of scientists, many of them holding Nobel Prizes who believe in intelligent design” – Michelle Bachmann

“I just take the Bible for what it is, I guess, and recognize that I’m not a scientist, not trained to be a scientist. I’m not a deep thinker on all of this. I wish I was. I wish I was more knowledgeable, but I’m not a scientist.” – Michelle Bachmann

“If we took away the minimum wage – if conceivably it was gone – we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level” – Michelle Bachmann

”(Gay marriage) is probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last, at least, thirty years. I am not understating that.” – Michelle Bachmann

“During the last 100 days we have seen an orgy. It would make any local smorgasbord embarrassed … The government spent its wad by April 26.” – Michelle Bachmann

”Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn’t even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.” – Michelle Bachmann

“But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States.” – Michelle Bachmann

”Not all cultures are equal.” – Michelle Bachmann

”[Pelosi] is committed to her global warming fanaticism to the point where she has said she has even said she is trying to save the planet. We all know that someone did that 2,000 years ago.” – Michelle Bachmann

”And what a bizarre time we’re in, when a judge will say to little children that you can’t say the pledge of allegiance, but you must learn that homosexuality is normal and you should try it.” – Michelle Bachmann

”Normalization (of gayness) through desensitization. Very effective way to do this with a bunch of second graders, is take a picture of ‘The Lion King’ for instance, and a teacher might say, ‘Do you know that the music for this movie was written by a gay man?’ The message is: I’m better at what I do, because I’m gay.” – Michelle Bachmann

”I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out under another, then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. I’m not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it’s an interesting coincidence.” – Michelle Bachmann

“Lady Liberty and Sarah Palin are lit by the same torch.” – Michelle Bachmann

And my favorite:
”I don’t know where they’re going to get all this money because we’re running out of rich people in this country.” – Michelle Bachmann

I think the GOP’s standards started slipping with Dan Quayle. The Nixon bunch weren’t particularly cerebral, but they did not make a regular habit of putting their foot in their mouth until Quayle came along. But he was easy for elderly Republicans to like. He probably paved the way for Bush II. Now we have Palin and Bachmann. Strange political vacuum at the top of the GOP. Christie is biding his time until 2016. Who emerges from this mess?

TobyTucker said:

Completely forgivable.
Add to that the Forefathers (slaveholders) working tirelessly until slavery ended, “Four score and seven years” later. And “the swine flu that broke out under Jimmy Carter”., Terry Schiavo was healthy! There was brain damage, no doubt. But from a health point of view, she was not terminally ill.” and, my personal favorite, “There isn’t even one study that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.”
Now I declare Ms. Bachmann unforgivably incompetent.

Congratulations to the GOP for setting the bar so low with nincompoops like Palin and Bush, so that now a functionally retarded dunce like Bachmann is considered “intellectual.”

You done smarted up yer party Republicans! Yeeeeeehawwwww!!!!!!

Last May, he claimed that tornadoes in Kansas killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.

Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”
Last week, in front of a roaring Sioux Falls, S.D., audience, Obama exulted: “Thank you, Sioux City. … I said it wrong. I’ve been in Iowa for too long. I’m sorry.”

Explaining last week why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois?

Obama has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Ala., he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement: “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala., because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”

Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was “speaking metaphorically about the civil-rights movement as a whole.”

Earlier this month in Cape Girardeau, Mo., Obama showed off his knowledge of the war in Afghanistan by homing in on a lack of translators: “We only have a certain number of them, and if they are all in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them in Afghanistan.” The real reason it’s “harder for us to use them” in Afghanistan: Iraqis speak Arabic or Kurdish. The Afghanis speak Pashto, Farsi, or other non-Arabic languages.

Over the weekend in Oregon, Obama pleaded ignorance of the decades-old, multibillion-dollar massive Hanford nuclear-waste cleanup: “Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there. (Applause.) Now, having said that, I promise you I’ll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport.”

I assume on that ride, a staffer reminded him that he’s voted on at least one defense-authorization bill that addressed the “costs, schedules, and technical issues” dealing with the nation’s most contaminated nuclear-waste site.

Last March, the Chicago Tribune reported this little-noticed nugget about a fake autobiographical detail in Obama’s Dreams from My Father: “Then, there’s the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin. In fact, the Life article and the photographs don’t exist, say the magazine’s own historians.”

And in perhaps the most seriously troubling set of gaffes of them all, Obama told a Portland crowd over the weekend that Iran doesn’t “pose a serious threat to us” — cluelessly arguing that “tiny countries” with small defense budgets can’t do us harm — and then promptly flip-flopped the next day, claiming, “I’ve made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.”

Yous a real booksmarted feller, you is.

I hear the constant whine of those who say Republican need candidate in 2012 who has “broad” appeal. Speak: RINO

If indeed, after four years of seeing America descend into an ocean of debt and other malignant ills too numerous to list here, then it simply means that Americans have not yet learned a sufficiently brutal lesson. If Obama were re-elected in 2012 he and his Marxist comrades would take this as a crystal clear mandate to carry out his “transformation” agenda – turning America from its present pathetic state of a democracy into that of an all-powerful central government – hard left socialism. Tyranny will have officially arrived thanks to a resolutely ignorant electorate…

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president”.
~ Prager Zeitung, Czech Newspaper, 28 April 2010

I will not vote for a RINO. And if you folks want 4 more years of Obama – be my guest.

When I saw that statement in Frances Martel’s article I immediately scrolled up to see who from Mediaite could be making such a laughable claim.

C’mon Frances … Bachmann is a lot of things … some good, some bad … but intellectual is not one of them. She’s smarter than Palin, but who among the GOP candidates isn’t?

I did appreciate the opportunity for a good chuckle though.

Not to fight someone else’s battles, but that’s not taking it anywhere. The article had nothing to do with Obama and everything to do with Bachmann.

Progressives have a bag full of insults to throw about, but the first malodorous crap out of the bag is almost always slurs accusing their opponents of a lack of intelligence.

This is referred to as projection.

After having gotten their clocks cleaned in 2010 one can logically suppose that the fear generated by an approaching 2012 repeat performance probably isn’t helping their mental condition.

You are a blueprint for the construction of an idiot.

This is the type of headline/article that would appear and is discussed on the “intellectual trashey MSNBC or CNN…and they wonder why their ratings cannot get out of the tank.

All that homeschooling was a waste. i have a question for you dumbasses, who agrees with Michele Bachman on her view that the founding fathers would not rest until they eliminated slavery in this country, or because The Affordable Care Act was passed all your freedoms is gone?? id love to see Mrs Bachman on Jeopardy or Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader….she would probally beat most of you but she would not do so well against that 5th grader.

INDIANAPOLIS — An Indiana prosecutor said one of his deputies resigned Thursday after admitting he sent an email to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker suggesting the Republican fake an attack on himself to discredit the public employee unions protesting his plan to strip them of nearly all collective bargaining rights.

Johnson County Prosecutor Brad Cooper said Carlos Lam resigned in a phone call about 5 a.m. Thursday after acknowledging that he sent the Feb. 19 email to Walker suggesting “the situation in WI presents a good opportunity for what’s called a ‘false flag’ operation.”

“If you could employ an associate who pretends to be sympathetic to the unions’ cause to physically attack you (or even use a firearm against you), you could discredit the public unions,” Lam wrote in the email, which was obtained by The Associated Press.

Cooper said Lam initially denied sending the email and said someone had hacked into his email account. But Lam later acknowledged he had written the message, and resigned hours before the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism reported the contents publicly Thursday.

DUMBASS REPUBLICANS WILL DO ANYTHING TO WIN

I don’t know why BOR has Sandy Rios on…he always cuts her off when she is making a great point…Sandy represents a core of the GOP, white evangelicals ….Sandy is sitting knowing BOR is going to cut her off, just like he did at the very end of the segment, he gave the last word to the Democrat Mr. Negative Professor.

Sexist as usual. Coulter is the only gal that handles him, Laura Ingraham is a close second, she’s calling BOR on his sexism every time now.

I love that the best you jokers have to offer right now is Bachmann! You realize she has ZERO chance of beating my dog in a general election, right? Or are you just as stupid as she is? Her FAR right-wing views on …ummm… everything… appeal to about 5% of the population – if that. And most of those people are old, white hillbillies tucked away in the hills somewhere.

Obama set the bar so low, that even a quadriplegic snail can jump over it.

You Obama worshippers dig up his resume and compare it to Michele Bachman’s:

When she was a young girl, she babysat Gretchen Carlson.

Republican congresswoman from Minnesota (2007 – present).

Former tax litigation attorney.

Grew up in Anoka, Minnesota, graduating from Anoka public high school in 1974. She graduated from Winona State University and later received her J.D. degree from Oral Roberts University (Oral Roberts) and a LL.M. degree in tax law from the College of William and Mary’s Marshall-Wythe School.

Served in the Minnesota State Senate from 2001-2007. She assumed office as a U.S. Representative on January 4, 2007.

Founder/chairwoman of the House Tea Party Caucus.

Foster parent of 23 children.

Member, House Financial Services Committee.

And then tell me why Obama is more qualified.

And of course you know how many Concords are there in the United States. And how many Lexingtons. And how many are in close proximity as New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

If you have enough integrity not to consult Google or geography book and give me the correct answer, then you can criticize Ms. Bachmann without looking like a pathetic hypocrite.

Not knowing where Lexington and Concord are, are indictments of Mrs.Backmann’s expertise to run for the presidency? I think, O’Reilly making that stupid statement is more of indictment of his growing over-inflated ego and belief that, if he says it, it must be right. This guy is getting way too arrogant.

Bachmann is the epitome of the GOPster mind. Babbling forth inane, easy-listening patriotism & deeply embedded ignorance & hatred – to cultists who feel mentally & morally charged to undermine & subvert & destroy. What more could the cretins ask for??? Ummm.

Combat Jack’s cousin, Yukon, leaps to the defense of poor clueless Michele, ignoring the historical significance of “Lexington AND Concord”. Now that’s blind love for ya!

I have a question about this.

Are we establishing that being a foster parent who gets paid by the state to take in kids is a wonderful and noble thing to do? I’m not saying anything negative at all, I’m just trying to clarify the guidelines.

Making a mistake about American history is not nearly as serious as LYING to the public.

Despite the fact that she couldn’t possibly know, she claimed that Obama’s Asian trip cost $2 billion and required the presence of one-tenth of our entire naval fleet. Absurd claims that offend the rational mind. She further claimed that Obama “hid” $109 billion in healthcare costs. Proof offered in either instance? None.

Bachmann is a predatory, win-at-all-costs liar who will say or do anything that will advance her career. O’Reilly is knocking her either because he sees the liabilities in her lies or simply prefers another potential candidate, e.g., Fakes “News” confrere $arah Palin.

Oh, no you didn’t. She said “very founders” and in the next sentance she said “fore bearers,” however – among the “fore bearers,” she specifically mentions John Adams:

And the word “repudiate” means to “refuse to accept”. In your sentance, it makes no sense.

Welcome to school.

I sincerely hope no one stops Michelle from launching her campaign. Her campaing manager, Zippy the squirril, will have a blast keeping his nuts out of the ever deepening guano in her head. Run Michelle run!

Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin are both SO stupid they don’t know how stupid they are. Neither is fit to be a Presidential “candidate”, much less, actually hold the office. I am hopeful that America is not now so dumbed-down (like these two idiot savants) that no thinking person even considers voting for either of them. If either makes it onto the GOP ticket you’ll see a backlash of anti-Bachmann or anti-Palin voting by the electorate as a result because both of them are not electable and carry a wide load of disdain, even within their own party. The presence of either on the ticket will doom the Republicans in the election and assure the reelection of Obama, which is very likely to happen, anyway. Either one of these women make good reality show contestants, though. Freak show families with freak show lives, both. You look at either one of them and the first thing you think of is “my God, what kind of parents must either of these women have had?” That either of these women held got themselves elected to so much as dogcatcher says an awful lot about American society today. If Michele Bachmann or Sarah Palin are evenly remotely close to being cream of the crop……….
