Huckabee Slams Media And ‘Jerk’ Brian Ross For Hassling Bachmann On Migraines

Video
» 106 comments

On his Fox News show last night, Mike Huckabee interviewed Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann and defended her from all of the “nonsense” regarding her alleged intense migraine headaches. Before talk turned to the debt ceiling, Huckabee sarcastically called her migraines a “big story” and lambasted the media for wasting so much time on it, while saving his most fiery words for one ABC News self-proclaimed “investigator.”

Huckabee began by expressing his frustration with this story in particular:

“It really fries my bacon to think that the worst criticism of Michele Bachmann is that she gets headaches. Good grief the presidency is a headache. . . . I get so tired of the smug, sniffy, self-appointed saints of journalism demanding to see the medical records of a female presidential candidate because some staffer who couldn’t keep up with her, decided to whine that she has headaches.”

And Huckabee continued by targeting ABC’s Brian Ross, who Huckabee hinted was not really a headache as much of a pain in the ass for his recent complaints:

“[I have no use for] the gumshoe wanna-be investigative reporter who thinks he smells a story. What he usually smells is his own foul self. Brian Ross, the ABC reporter who fancies himself a real investigator, leapt onto the stage to confront Congresswoman Bachmann to demand that she answer his questions and then got upset when some of her staffers treated him like the inconsiderate jerk he can be.”

Bachmann was pleased to hear Huckabee’s overall critique, that “no candidate is required to help load a gun pointed at their own head” and that the press does not have a “divine right” to have every question answered. With that side issue out of the way, Bachmann returned to discussing the debt ceiling and urged President Obama to “stop scaring people about default,” and thought it was “amazing” that Obama still has not put forth a plan of his own.

Huckabee suggested Obama’s lack of executive experience has been to blame for many of his problems, and smartly asked Bachmann why she would be qualified for the presidency without much of the same experience? In an interesting and convenient pivot, Bachmann concluded Obama’s problem wasn’t an experience issue, he was “simply wrong on the issues.”

    Will people get real with all the Michelle Bachmann stuff? She has no chance of beating Obama. The only thing that will happen is we will discover that her husband truely is a flaming homosexual (not that there’s anything wrong with that) Which is i’m sure she already knows.

    .Former Obama fan Peggy Noonan on King Obama :

     ”When he speaks on the debt negotiations, he is not only extremely boring, with airy and bromidic language—really they are soul-killing, his talking points—but he never seems to be playing it straight. He always seems to be finagling, playing the angles in some higher game that only he gets. In two and a half years he has reached the point that took George W. Bush five years to reach: People aren’t listening anymore.

    The other day he announced the Gang of Six agreement with words that enveloped the plan in his poisonous embrace: “I wanted to give folks a quick update on the progress that we’re making.” We’re. He has “continued to urge both Democrats and Republicans to come together.” What would those little devils do without Papa? “The good news is that today a group of senators . . . put forward a proposal that is broadly consistent with the approach that I’ve urged.” I’ve urged. Me, me, me.

    That approach includes “shared sacrifice, and everybody is giving up something.” He was like a mother coming in and cheerily announcing: “Dinner’s served! Less for everybody!”
    We’re trying to begin a comeback, not a famine. We’re trying to take actions that will allow us to grow.
    He’s like a walking headache. He’s probably triggering Michele Bachmann’s migraines. ”

    I cannot believe Chucklebee would use such harsh words on anyone other than Mitt! Chuckleberry is actually right for once! LOVE FOX, Hucklebery, not so much….

    Shouldn’t tampo embrace Bachmann’s husband for being a “flaming homosexual” instead of beating him with the negative stereotype? Who is hate mongering now?

    o’bama loses in poll after poll to that republican called…. “Generic”, but you can feel free to make yourself feel good by standing up for your glorious leader!

    Who said this?

    “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt
    limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government
    can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial
    assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal
    policies. … Increasing America’s
    debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the
    buck stops here. Instead, Washington
    is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and
    grandchildren. America
    has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
    B. Husseion O’bama (Soetoro) 2006

    By the way, o’bama never released his medical records. A trend for democrat party members. He released a one page health statement by his doctor. It was signed “Barry’s Doc”! How do we know that all of his smoking has not led to cancer?

     Maybe these headaches are god telling her something. Honestly who gives a crap! I swear to god one person or two people on TV say hey Bachmann gets headaches and her doctor say she ok and all of a sudden its a giant left wing conspiracy to get her because she has headaches? This is such right wing bullshit its not even funny. Hey Huck no one cares if she gets headaches! We worry about her brain but thats because she doesn’t use it to think, not because it hurts. They manufacture controversy to make their audience believe that the left wing bogey man is out to get them then talk about it for days! Jesus it probably was a right winger who released this crap in the first place(im looking at you herman cane lol).

    Strictly politically speaking, no woman can beat Obama for the POTUS. Hillary Clinton failed, and so would Michele Bachmann or Sarah Palin. A black Democrat is guaranteed minimum of 95% of the Blacks, and a minimum of 60% of the Hispanics. On a party-line basis, 100% of Democrats, minimum of 50% of GOP elites, and a minimum of 50% of independents. It would be tough for a woman of any party to unseat Obama, irespective of economy or foreigen policy in general.
    US lives in a so called post-racial era of politics, past the candidacy of Collin Powell or Jesse Jackson. In this post-racial era, race and gender have both become important in US politics for POTUS. A black Republican will not be taken seriously, and rediculed by the poltical activists ‘so called comedians’ such as Jon Stewart.
    The difference between a liberal and a conservative woman candidate is how they are put-down by whom. Liberal woman would be put down by conseravative Radio with the likes of Rush Limbaugh, labeling them as feminazzi. Conseravtive woman become joke of every late-night comedy, political-activist comedians like Bill Maher will make crude sexual jokes dehumanizing them, and labled idiot by the mainstream media.

    Why would “the one” the “messiah” o’bama talk to Bachmann? Wouldn’t she take the red pill or the blue pillthat o’bama directs?

    o’bama sees visions of the Carter administration in his second hand smoke.

    You must be “a typical white person” “living in a small town clinging to your guns and religion” And by religion, there is no other kind, tolerant, and diverse Reverend such as o’bama’s pastor Wright. “God damn America” The United States of KKK… “America’s chickens are coming home to roost…”

    You may want to check those facts again. Even Barry’s most devout bishops in the church of lord obama are turning away from him.

    I wonder what visions Thomas Jefferson had when his migraines drove him to his bed. Yes, TJ, the proto-Democrat who engendered the idea of hypocrisy in future Dems and libs; the person who wrote that “all men are created equal”, yet owned over  120 slaves and refused to free them upon his death; the same TJ who practiced miscegenation ; the one who as a scientist declared that blacks were genetically inferior the whites , said “  that Negroes sweat more andurinate less than whites, which results in their having a “strong and disagreeable odor.”

    yes visions indeed!

    Ross is a cheap political hack who was only trying to get a sound bite that he could use to pummel Bachmann.  Do you think he would ever chase Michelle Obama demanding to know what she ate for lunch…..?
    The next day he was on The View giving his little act of ” Oh no…don’t worry . I’m OK” as he calmly and reasonably told that pack of heffers how he merely wanted to ask a question.   Of course he could provide no video of his unfortunate assault even though he had his own camera man following him.
    Just take him at his word.

    The more likely truth is that he was harrassing  Bachmann in an aggressive manner in such a way that it upset her security team who certainly know who the media are.

    Perhaps, you did not get the gist of my comment ‘so called post-racial’ era. Post-racial era is more divided on the basis of race than it has ever been. The mere fact that 95% blacks would support Obama even when the economy is hurting them most, speaks volumes about racial divide. When the elected democrats and  pundits on MSNBC label members of teaparty as racist, it is a racial divide. When the members of black caucus blame racism for not supporting Obama policies, it  is a pure racial divide. When the ‘progressive-Republicans’ such as Meghan McCain, Joe Scarborough, Kathleen Parker have become lap-dogs and bark at conservatives, it is an art-effect of so called post-racial era.
    My point: It would be very difficult for any woman candidate irrespective of party affiliation to defeat Obama in this so called ‘post-racial era’. The acceptance of vile and vulgar sexual jokes by Bill Maher about conseravtive woman is more of an art-effect of post-racial era than just sexism.

    I am not nearly as bothered by the fact that she gets migraines as I am by the fact she responded to the report by saying that if she is incapacitated, her ability to serve will not be affected. Not a real good display of logic or intellect.

  • cameowalkin

    Perhaps some of the FANS of Michelle Bachmann could inform her that the herb Feverfew is her answer.  If the headaches are debilitating and frequent, she should start with 2 capsules, 3 times a day; and taper down to 2 capsules a day, over the course of four months or so.  She should assess how little she can take without breakthroughs of headaches, and stick to that level.  The important thing is to start higher, gradually go lower, and BE ABSOLUTELY CONSISTENT.  In  this matter, as in others, no breakthrough happens to the person who will not discipline themselves to be consistent.

    Fact: Some people may take four craps a day at the cost of 15 minutes each time, Some may go every other day so I can see your point that it’s important to justify what peoples habits are like headaches because now we have a guy that spends every weekend playing Golf on the tax payers back and by your logic he must go and I agree with you that in 2012 we need a new start at republican leadership. Thanks for advise I was on the fence until you made it so simple for me!

    Here is what Bachmann actually said, NOT how you interpret it:

     “I have prescription medication that I take whenever symptoms arise and
    they keep the migraines under control,” Bachmann wrote. “Let me be
    abundantly clear — my ability to function effectively has never been
    impeded by migraines and will not affect my ability to serve as
    Commander in Chief.”

    Notice that she never said the word incapacitated. You are not displaying good logic or intellect when you fabricate actual statements to fit your vapid argument in support of your rabid left wing agenda.

    You are bothered by a strong, conservative woman.

    Nothing wrong with the term “flaming homosexual”? Maybe not, but when you use it as a stereotype bat to bully someone you disagree with, is vile. You should be praising Marcus for being not just plain old homosexual, but a flaming homosexual, as you are obviously so tolerant of opposing views, and you promote diversity so well.

    Guess it is ok for liberals to use hate speech in their talking points?

    As far as the public “tempest in a teapot” goes, if it only serves to help get people involved who will inform her of what to do about the headaches, then it’s served its’ purpose.  Why should any modern women take risky medicines, when a very beneficial herb will serve well?

    But you might want to judge yourselves, and the tenor of your comments.  Nobody is actually concerned about helping her eliminate her headaches, and its’ simply another line in the sand for you guys to shadowbox over.  The constant rage and hatred that Republicans exude could be the cause of her symptoms, which will expand to other “diseases” if she doesn’t eliminate this strife.  

    Way back when, some scientist did an experiment measuring the chemicals human beings produce when in an angry state, and he found that five minutes of anger produces enough toxin to melt a ten-penny nail.  These poisons will not only cause migraines, they’ll dissolve your bones (where the blood is made).  

    Pain is the answer to anger, in God’s system.  If you’ve got pain, check your anger and work on consistently eliminating it.  Eliminating your opponents will not heal you or change your world, because God will see you’ve missed the point and bring on more harassers until you handle “Numero Uno.”  You’re here to overcome yourself and your flesh.  Forget at your own peril.

    the smartest thing you could have done in this case is let my ignorance of peggy noonans employer slide, by correcting me you debunked your own argument…it was fair for me to assume that a republican would not attack a fellow republican unless they worked at rival newspapers, all you pointed out to me by correcting me in the impending collaspe of the WSJ, the murdoch empire and the republican party…by the way do ya have any idea where one might be able to obtain 6 tons of fertilizer a 50 gallon barrel of kerosene, some automatic weapons and enough bullets to mow down about 100 folks????….if you do…call the FBI on yourself……ok

    yeah, as for a tea party candidate I see Ron Paul as the stronger. Ofcourse old Republican guard does  not want to admit it.. yet. He is a definite better in the polls for unaffiliated party voters and the only actual creditable candidate running on the Republican ticket.The rest fail to compare unless you use medi controlled polls. With GOProud and new republicans signing up everyday, the Old Guard’s days are numbered. They should have seen that in the last elections.

    i know generic….thats the collective group of all the rightwing nutts in the race, that when elected will take turns being president on a rotating days basis…mitt romney will be declared the only one stable enough to be intrusted with the nuclear codes  so he gets no days off, tim pawlenty converts the whitehouse basketball court to a hockey rink, herman cain retrofits the white house chow hall into a pizza parlor, where mitt gets to also be a cash register attendant, michele bachmann just gets to smile alot, look pretty but never talk, her husband gets to screen white house job applicants to insure The GAY dont infiltrate the place and Jon Huntsman gets to return to his old job as ambassador to china…oh and Mama Grizzly…she gets to occupy the double wide out back by the shootin range and be on standby in case Michele is incpacidated one day and unable to smile

    Wow, that roll-in with Chris Matthews was awesomely inspiring.  He says that no-one will say about Obama that he’s as American as Chris “tingly legs” Matthews.  This is suspicions confirmed.  Neither one is what I would call mainstream American, unless you count the hate-America-first varieties who couldn’t quote the U.S. Constitution – Bill Of Rights articles 1 or 2 without a teleprompter.  How about an accurate count of America’s number of states in the union?   Anyone?

    Sorry, but I couldn’t help myself.

    Michele Bachmann epitomizes what all Dhimmicrat women in the feminist movement aspire to be, e.g. smart, beautiful (both inside and out) in control of their values and fully capable of running the office of Chief Executive moral ethics & decisiveness.  I would vote for her like a shot!   Huckabee hit the nail on its head here.  Bravo!

    The reply was to amm above, and not to you. Here is how she INCORRECTLY quoted Bachmann:

    “”"”"”responded to the report by saying that if she is *****incapacitated,******”"”"”"

    I quoted her EXACT response, as you did in your second ranting paragraph. By the way, where have I, or amm (above) ever brought up who prescribes the medication? That wasn’t the argument here. Maybe she misspoke? You know, like like this genius:

    “It is wonderful to be back in Oregon,” Obama said. “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. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not
    allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff
    would not justify it.”

    58 states huh? Who prescribes his meds, or does he just take a red or blue pill when needed? And maybe you need meds…

    Nice language, and great name calling. You are an elite liberal.

    So, where did I “lie”? You went off on something that we were not posting about.

    The old guard HAS to go. They were out of control when they were in control of all 3. McCain cannot tell you what he really believes anymore! Lindsey Graham has to go. Any republican that wants to “reach across the aisle” to those that would just like to kick them in the teeth, has to go.

    Compassionate Conservatism failed. It’s time for a massive tax cutting, deficit eliminating, machine to put the small back in small government.

    When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

    I did not consider it sarcasm after the stats you threw out. That is an assumption made about Reagan too. Hispanics are not a lock for o’bama, in fact the opposite is more true as they are religious and they do not support illegal entry into the US.

    Followed other posts of yours though, and agreed.

    Thumbs up if you believe God would have told Huckabee to run for president if his poll ratings were far stronger.  I can’t stand politicians who invoke God for their presidential aspirations. George Bush said God wanted him to be president in 1998. He must be a very angry God now. LOL.

     I don’t know about the others I saw shultz talk about it and he didn’t care. He said he thinks its a plant from fellow republicans. And honestly at this stage in the game it probably is! All these guys have to beat her in the primary! She’s not running against Obama right now she’s running for the nomination for her party the blood is in the water, all of the other candidates are going to go after her like sharks.

    and please tell us how CC&B changes the majority rules provision in the senate and the constitution, thats been there since our countrys founding ”

    So the Constitution can’t be changed? Were you not promoting the ERA?  Why are there 27 amendments? Are you off your prescription meds again? And Obama and the Dems still have not propose a plan and all your childish rants, stomping your feet won’t change that.

    “tell me why CC&B doesnt allow for changes in tax rates up or down, in other words why does it only prevent taxes from going up but doesnt address tax rates going down….”

    Ahhhhh, because they don’t want to increase taxes? Ever enter your pea brain, child? It’s implicit that tax reductions require just a majority vote- MG.

    “and all this time i thought they only liked the unammended version of the constitution minus all that 3/5 compromise bullshit that proves, (contary to what Michele Bachmann claims) the founding fathers didnt fight tirelessly to end slavery they made its continuance part of the founding documents ”

    The 3/5ths agreement was to reduce the number of pro-slavery advocates from our great Southern Dems in the House of Reps. You , a racist, obviously would like to have Southern racist to have controlled the South and expanded slavery.

    Too bad- you and your perfidious ilk lost that one.

    Michelle Bachmann says she submissively follows orders of her husband

    “My husband said ‘Now you need to go and get a post-doctorate degree in tax law.’ Tax law! I hate taxes—why should I go and do something like that?” she told the audience. “But the Lord says be submissive. Wives, you are to be submissive to your husbands.” ( Bachmann also reports that the Lord told her to run for Congress)

    GoneRouge, If Michele is “submissive” to God and her husband, what is the problem?  It is much better than being “submissive” to liberalism with its women in bare feet, smoking dope, practicing free love, dressing in rags, singing folk songs on the streets of San Francisco, burning their bras, supporting the rights of women only if they are liberal women, and supporting male liberal Democratic candidates!

    Hey insideguy!  Are you and the rest of the liberal Democrats aware of the fact that President Abraham Lincoln used to suffer from migraines and severe bouts of depression?  Since you obviously believe that Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s migraines disqualify her from serving as President of the United States, you must be horrified that the American people elected Abraham Lincoln as our 16th President in 1860 and 1864.  After all, how could a President who suffers from migraines ever be expected to summon the courage to destroy the institution of slavery and to provide the leadership necessary to win the Civil War?

    Imagine Ross hunting down Obama and asking him about his coke habbit or his still unreleased health records?  I didn’t think so; Ross is respected among his left wing brethern only, not those of us who watch th enews and expect honesty and equality in reportage…Ross doesn’t know what that means.

    Has anyone told Michele about the scientific advances in medicine. They have this thing called Ibuprofen that may solve her problem. If that doesn’t work, quick watching the news!

    Where is all the news about Obama smoking or his homosexual encounters in the Limo?  What about Michelle’s fat ass and her love of lobster while telling Americans we have to tighten our belts?  This is the most disgusting adminstration American has ever had the misfortune to have at the reigns!  2012 can’t get here soon enough.  It will be a great day for America when the Kenyan and his whore are gone from the White House!  Anyone But Obama in 2012!

    Ibuprophen does not help migraines at all.  Used to have them, way back then they had me take phenobarb immediately when the echoing or aura started, think it was five pills over the course of the headache.  Had to watch my diet carefully, nothing with cider vinegar, or peanuts, cheese, yogurt, wine, chocolate, processed meats, etc.  They left with my ex-husband.
