Bachmann is a crazy witch that will hurt this country if she gets elected.  

Because libs have their own agenda.

Seems like ol’ Staci Chase hasn’t been paying attention for the past 2 1/2 years.

Psst….the country already being hurt? Yeah, we’re already there.  

I kinda agree with Tamron.

Educating Bachmann is a lost cause.

Nice, you brought both barrels of intelligence to that statement.

Burn her, she’s a witch!

Good idea. Let a person have their own opinions and thoughts  and let everyone else either agree or disagree. The only problem is that no one will do that. Conformity is the left’s doctrine. Think as they do. What a bunch of sheep. Makes me glad to be an independent.

dont really care for bachmann, but go ahead michelle its a target-rich enviroment

What Miss Hall fails to understand is that it’s one thing to have a different viewpoint, but when the president of the United States can be someone with an anti-gay agenda, it is a territory which needs to be discussed. 

 Kinda like you, eh?

Seems like your memory doesn’t remember who started the burning.  

Discussed? Yes, absolutely. I believe in vetting candidates. Should she have to conform and change her thinking and beliefs for others? No. Barack Obama is anti-everything conservative. I don’t want to change him, mostly because it isn’t possible and that isn’t what I believe in. He will never change. I only want the right to disagree with him and not be called a racist. It doesn’t seem to be possible, with how much the race card is thrown out.

While we’re at it…let’s ask Black Evangelicals what they think….

Who would have thought Bachmann would be a bigger joke than Sarah Palin? Sarah Palin might be a little trashy but Bachmann is literally insane.

I know you have a hard time staying on point Snowspot, this article is about trashing Bachmann. Please try and stay focused on your target.

Everyone keeps saying Bachmann is insane or crazy. How many of you people have a PhD in Psychiatry and can diagnose that? How many of you people have actually spoken to her in person and performed an actual therapy session to make that determination? Go back to school, get your doctorate, then you can diagnose crazy. Until then, your armchair psychiatry is worthless.

Actually, this discourse represents the part of the gay marriage debate that is always swept under the rug. Namely, the silent disapproval of gay marriage from minorities (blacks and Hispanics) who usually vote predominantly for Democrats. Because of many reasons, these voices are usually kept silent but they are definitely there.

So in a way, it’s not surprising that an African-American women host on MSNBC would say something like this.

She needs to be taught a lesson. For her to slam gays is unamerican. She desperately needs re-education. Common Michelle get with the program.

She’s a presidential canidate…  It is nice to see we’re vetting canidates this go round…  however as a republican, it is my opinion that she is toast at this point and the sooner that she gets out the better..  I had looked forward to her sharing her view points as in the past I have been attracted to some of the things that she has said…  but these last few weeks she has shown a great lack of judgement, and in fact now that so much has come out about her husband, I would say that even the decision to enter the race was poorly concieved…  he is not something that can be swept under the carpet, nor will her comments about obedience to him

I don’t really see your point, people are attacking Bachmann because she’s insane, moreso than Sarah Palin.

If you want to read about “anti-gay” Google Obama’s campaign strategy with Black Evangelicals in S. Carolina during his presidential run.

maybe you can set up a re-education camp someplace?

When did the economy and the underlying cause, the housing bubble and worthless mortgages, come into being.

GREAT QUESTION Staci!

Jimmy Carter first instituted the Community Reinvestment Act which first began the sub prime mortgage problem and was expanded during the Clinton years. Of course do not forget about the Obama contribution of being a lawyer and a community organizer with Acorn that forced banks to give loans to those that did not qualify. Driving up the costs of homes and ultimately causing the economic and financial debacle.

Thanks for asking those tough questions, will you be able to accept the answers that you oh so do not want to hear?

Thanks for not being able to see my sarcasm and wit at your expense. You are welcome.

Hall isn’t defending what Bachmann says — she is implying that we should accept that Bachmann is stupid and decide if she is qualified to run for office.

The problem is not that she is not being accepted for who she is. The problem is she is a wackjob running for President of the United States.

:…bubbling controversy….”

It is always a “controversy” when a republican is involved; if it’s Obama’s associations with Wright or resko or Ayers…it’s nobody’s business.  When Obama didn’t support gay marriage it was no big deal, but with Michelle, because she is conservative, it is a

controversy.

So funny.

 Like Barry has?

9.2% unemployment
Record monthly deficits
Record debt
Record # of foreclosures
Record # on welfare
Record # living in poverty

US house price fall ‘beats Great Depression slide’

How come Republicans didn’t stop Jimmy Carters plan when Bush was in power? If it was so detrimental? Maybe you should start working at the GOP if you have these brave amazing ideas to fix the economy.. they could use the help.

But didn’t Bachmann graduate from the now defunct Oral Roberts University School of Law?

So paranoid, you mean.

She has too much baggage to win. It’s just numbers at this point. I like her and some of her positions, but I can’t vote for her if its her and Obama. I’d rather look to a third party, perhaps Ron Paul if he runs independent if and/or when he doesn’t get the nomination.

You forgot to mention all the Republicans who made the problem worse!! Your memory must not work when the Republicans are in office.  

  And who is continuing the burning!

Bush Debt: $5 trillion in 8 years = $625K/year

Barry Debt: $3.9 trillion in 5 years= $ 1.6 trillion/year!

Nearly 3x the burn rate of Bush!

Lord, the day is at hand. We are in the last days. You
are a Jehovah God. We know that the times are in your hands. And we
give them to you…The day is at hand, Lord, when your return will come
nigh. Nothing is more important than bringing sheep into the fold. Than
bringing new life into the kingdom…You have weeded that garden. The harvest is at hand.-Michele Bachmann 2006

And the Republicans are making it worse.  

The discussions about Bachmann ARE about finding out who she is so you can determine if you want to vote for her or not.  She isn’t being bashed or being forced to change, she is being exposed.

wrong

barry?

9.2% unemployment
Record monthly deficits
Record debt
Record # of foreclosures
Record # on welfare
Record # living in poverty

Yeah, why try and change her opinion, the one that says homosexuals are barbarians and have a mental illness.  This came from a black woman btw, of all genders and races

Another armchair psychiatrist. Where did you get your PhD to diagnose Bachmann?? Seriously. What are your credentials to diagnose her as a “wackjob” (sic)? 

Try again! My figures are BHO’s!

LOL

Tamron Hall was a member of Rev. Wright’s church, so you obviously can’t listen to anything she says and she obviously hates America and Freedom lovers.

How? By not giving Obama  a blank check and carte blanche to spend as much money as possible that we don’t have?

 Didn’t you flunk out of the Nashville Auto-Diesel College?

Just like EVERYTIME in the past 40 years, the leftists, in both parties blocked reform.

Think back to everyone calling out Reagan for having such large deficits? What happened then? The leftists talked the conservatives into raising taxes and then they would cut spending. Spending was never cut. Then look at what happened during the Bush Jr presidency, every effort to rein in Fannie, Freddie and the other parts of the CRA were shut down by leftists like Bawney Fwank.

Now what do the leftists want to do? Raise taxes with a PROMISE to cut spending.

See, leftists think that everyone does not pay attention to history, when it is only THEM that refuse to look at history. By the way, can you point me to a prosperous socialist country? Come on, you can do it.

Norquist is coming on Hardball next for those interested.

Ah, ‘inherited’. I see. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think I would add gasoline to a burning fire.

Then again, I’m not a *brilliant* Ivy League law school graduate.

I accept Bat sht crazy Bachmann for what she is.

Via Think Progress.

BACHMANN: Lord, the day is at hand. We are in the last days.
You are a Jehovah God. We know that the times are in your hands. And we
give them to you…The day is at hand, Lord, when your return will come
nigh. Nothing is more important than bringing sheep into the fold. Than
bringing new life into the kingdom…You have weeded that garden. The harvest is at hand.

because we all know our economic plunge didn’t even begin until 2009.

I know right? Sarah Palin is not as savvy in the national realm as Bachmann but not even Palin would do something like this. At first I thought it would be cool if we had a Bachmann presidency but now I know she should be no where near the white house.

yep, just watched it

It is called agreeing to disagree. I’ll express my disagreement with Congresswoman Bachman by not voting for her if she makes it to the big day in 2012.  

Bush signed the American Dream Down Payment Plan in 2003 requiring Fannie and Freddie to give more sub prime loans and providing federal money to cover the down payment. Many on the right thought it was a bad idea.

Then in 2008 he signed another bill approving the federal bail out of mortgage companies , “just in case”

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/31/business/31housing.html

what a lucky coincidence huh?

“Many on the right thought it was a bad idea.”

WOW, you got that one right.

I think there is plently of blame to pass around from both sides.  What’s key, is what we do next.  At least you seem to have some grasp of history David K.

 Not to the degree it is now, did, it?

Not even close!

unemployment was a horrible 7.2% when Bush left -now 9.2% and that is low for Baarry!

LOL

  Gorge Bush must have had the longest will ever written given that Barry has “inherited everything”.

But on the positive side, our passions must be truly assuaged to discover that the USA no longer needs a president.

What you ask?

No, we no longer need a president because the libs have shown us that
even after 2.5 year in office- Barry is not responsible for one thing!

Not a one!

Ha! We no longer need a president because they are not responsible for anything!

“I am though intrigued by the number of people who want to change her
opinion rather than accept that it is her view. . . . I am intrigued
by how her husband’s clinic wants to ‘pray the gay away’ for some people
and others would like to pray or inject into her their philosophy,
their thoughts and their beliefs. I am intrigued by that. Why not
accept her for who she is or who she says she is and decide if you are
willing to vote for someone like that.”

HEY TAMRON ! –

Walk down the hall and tell that to Rachel.

just a question. is bachmann allowed to have her beliefs even if you think they are wrong?

progressive_kittysock alert

and that makes you laugh out loud? 

I’m not pleased with everything Obama has done but it’s illogical to point to our economic numbers and claim they’re all his fault.

The point being that you cannot realistically lay all the blame at the left’s door. Knee Jerk partisan responses from either side do nothing to solve real problems. It’s not the party, it’s the corruption in both parties.

No, we no longer need a president because the libs have shown us that
even after 2.5 year in office- Barry is not responsible for one thing!

nobody is claiming that. The point is we should be working together to solve problems not win political arguments. We do that by looking at things factually and realistically. The right has been pointing to the deficit as a huge crisis for almost that entire time. Obama, brings something to the table in the way of a compromise that seriously addresses that crisis they’ve been pointing to , and they back off. 

In the mind of many liberals? No. She must be converted or have her reputation smeared. It’s that simple. If you dare stray away from the liberal orthodoxy, there will be a sh*tload of people there to call you bigot/racist/sexist/homophobic/xenophobic/hatemonger/troglodyte/etc. Doesn’t matter if its 100% false. Media Matters will run with it, and MSNBC will rip n read Olbermann-style.

Well …isn’t it our goal to educate and dispel ignorance?
I doubt many people expect to change Michelle’s mind in the foreseeable future but the lie that homosexuality is a defect or sin or perversion, needs to be addressed, just as racism was and is addressed. When someone is running for president it brings the subject to the fore.
Meanwhile, I’m sure people are capable of deciding whether or not to vote for her.

right, Hey Tamron, the short term plan is to make sure she doesn’t become president. The long range plan is to dispel ignorant religion based myths that harm others.

Yes indeed, Unemployment was around that when Pres.Bush left office…..but keep in mind that the Stimulus was a carry-over from the Bush Policy, adopted by Obama……it should be fare to state that, am I correct?
Remember this terrible time in America?……..
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, searchThis article is about one division of an enacted statute. For the entire statute, see Public Law 110-343. For the enacted rescue program, see Troubled Asset Relief Program.The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (Division A of Pub.L. 110-343, 122 Stat. 3765, enacted October 3, 2008, commonly referred to as a bailout of the U.S. financial system, is a law enacted in response to the subprime mortgage crisis authorizing the United States Secretary of the Treasury to spend up to US$700 billion to purchase distressed assets, especially mortgage-backed securities, and make capital injections into banks (however, the plan to purchase distressed assets has been abandoned).[1][2] Both foreign and domestic banks are included in the program. The Federal Reserve also extended help to American Express, whose bank-holding application it recently approved.[3] The Act was proposed by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson during the global financial crisis of 2008.The original proposal was submitted to the United States House of Representatives, with the purpose of purchasing bad assets, reducing uncertainty regarding the worth of the remaining assets, and restoring confidence in the credit markets. The bill was then expanded and put forth as an amendment to H.R. 3997 .[4] The amendment was rejected via a vote of the House of Representatives on September 29, 2008, voting 205–228.[5]On October 1, 2008, the Senate debated and voted on an amendment to H.R. 1424, which substituted a newly revised version of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 for the language of H.R. 1424.[6][7] The Senate accepted the amendment and passed the entire amended bill, voting 74–25.[8] Additional unrelated provisions added an estimated $150 billion to the cost of the package and increased the length of the bill to 451 pages.[9][10] (See Public Law 110-343 for details on the added provisions.) The amended version of H.R. 1424 was sent to the House for consideration, and on October 3, the House voted 263-171 to enact the bill into law.[6][11][12] President George W. Bush signed the bill into law within hours of its congressional enactment, creating the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to purchase failing bank assets.[13]Supporters of the plan argued that the market intervention called for by the plan was vital to prevent further erosion of confidence in the U.S. credit markets and that failure to act could lead to an economic depression. Opponents objected to the plan’s cost and rapidity, pointing to polls that showed little support among the public for “bailing out” Wall Street investment banks,[14] claimed that better alternatives were not considered,[15] and that the Senate forced passage of the unpopular version through the opposing house by “sweetening” the bailout package.[16]

Ah…the rightwinger hating accomplishments and obtaining the highest and best education possible. Next time you get sick and need to see a doctor…..why not a WITCH DOCTOR.

race and homosexuality are a apple to oranges thing……………totally different

really jackycool?  There’s video of Sarah praying publicly at Church about protection from Satan, I’m sure you wound bounce off the ceiling of a public official praying in Jesus Name at a Church sanctuary.  Which she did as a public official, several times.  

obviously Obama’s policies are Bush’s fault !!!  LOL 

well apples and oranges aren’t totally different are they?  Both edible, both fruit, grow on trees. I wasn’t saying they were exactly the same thing. Both are racism and the religion based anti gay sentiment are forms of bigotry. Both have repressed the rights of a minority. Both are deserving of persistent opposition.

Exactly, I only want gay people to be treated like humans because of an election.  I plan on keeping them in cages afterwards

well is it tolerance or acceptance that is ok?

Nobody would care if she would be some unknown woman from somewhere. She wants to become the POTUS and the public has every right to grill her for her intolerant views.

So Palin did wrong becuase she is Christian praying in a church (let’s not forget the countless politicians that are religious), and Bachmann is right because she thinks gay people are icky. Right…

She´s homophobic. It´s that simple. Sure she can be homophobic all she wants, but the moment she wants her homophobic views to be the guideline for official politics it isn´t a matter of her personal beliefs anymore.

The evidence is overwhelming. See her quote about the end of the world among others.

then dont vote for her, see how easy that is

LOl

Those all happened in 2010 and later.

Try again, Barry’s apologist!

 Not quite. The TARP was part of Bush’s plan which Barry supported! But
it was Barry’s $830 billion stimulus plan boondoggle that started Barry
on his path to destruction. The recession  ended in June 2009- before
Barry’s wasteful spending even started!

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No state-wide vote has even sanctioned gay marriage-  you are the one out of touch..

 Barry has proposed NOTHING

Name the cuts he proposed?

unemployment was 7.6 % on jan 20,2009……..small lies count too wingnut

Why don’t you just sit down and cry?

Why does it have to be one or the other? Tolerance is treating people you may not like or agree with differently. MAybe when you understand them better {by making an effort} it becomes acceptance

Then don’t vote for her. Simple. Thats how you express your dislike for her, instead of trying to change her into something she doesn’t want to be.

That’s her personal belief then. It doesn’t have to be yours. It doesn’t necessarily make someone crazy, just wrong or right depending on the outcome. If you don’t believe her, thats fine. It still gives you no authority to claim she’s crazy or insane or a hundred other medical definitions to which you AREN’T qualified to diagnose for her.

Why of course.  And people will vote the way their conscience tells them. My Uncle Bud fought in WW-I and told me stories of the Battle of the Argonne Forest and Verdun.  He was a very sweet old country gentleman, and the best raconteur I ever met.  I loved him dearly.  Last time I saw him was 1969, and I was going off to college with long hair.  He didn’t speak to me.  It hurt, but I didn’t love him any less. 

That’s what my man John Lennon used to say.  If it is about love, it can’t be bad.

Now you can claim “doesn’t count , not specific enough” if you like.

Oh good one. Got me there.  Meet me tomorrow by the Jungle Gym and I’ll say something mean to you.

It appears no one has a problem with the gay activist doing a bait-and-swith on Michele Bachmann’s husband. It is profound how gays are given a free pass in America. They do not want equal treatment. If they did they themselves would be concerned over how wrong it was for the gay activist to do a bait-and-switch. But they are not concerned with it because they do not want to be equal with other people. They was to be privileged. Their ends justify their means.

allowed?  She can believe whatever she likes. When her actions on her beliefs start to harm others then people get to challenge those beliefs. Seems fair right?

To me merely tolerated can become hellish,  I know.  Acceptance is a whole other ballgame.

Do women that hate Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin hate them for any other reason but they are jealous of them?
.
Women want a woman to become president—-as long as it’s someone they won’t get jealous of. Otherwise they will hate them and not vote for them.

the general public

Not a very serious answer, but thanks for playing. This lets me know that you and many others aren’t qualified to diagnose anything about her. 

We don’t have to. 98% of the general public knows that already… but thanks anyway for the advice.

Aren´t you trying to be a clever one? She´s crazy I say and if you think crazy is a medical term these days you need to freshen up your knowledge of medicine.

Thats fine. You can say she’s crazy, but that doesn’t make it true. It just makes you a wannabe psychiatrist with no skills to diagnose anyone of any mental disorder. You liberals need to stop trying to pretend you are qualified to say she’s crazy or insane, unless you actually have a medical degree. Until then, you’re still just full of sh*t.

Of course she´s crazy. C-R-A-Z-Y. She´s not living in reality. Did you know one of her priorities is to “Rebuild respect for America as the shining city upon a hill” and “defend marriage” from a non existent attack?
