That pic is the epitome of “deer in the headlights” look

Bachmann doesn’t have a change, but in comment sections you will find supporters of her. There probably was not one person on this comment section that supported John McCain before the general election. On the other most liberals were supporting either Hillary or Obama. The bottom line is you have fringe elements of the right wing on boards like these. They will support the douchebags and then somebody mainstream like Mitt Romney will win the Republican primary.

Last Time I Use ‘Obama’s Teleprompter’

LMAO! Zing!

S/B “doesn’t have a chance”

Please please please outlaw teleprompters/notecards for all GOP candidates in 2012. Comedy abound!

Mitt Romney is the only mainstream Republican being talked about who is actually probably going to run. Literally. But he’ll have Romneycare dragging him down, and the crazy candidates will fire up their base so much that he doesn’t stand a chance. On the other hand, by doing what’ll be necessary to fire up their crazy base, they’ll also alienate people who think. So, probably a 2nd Obama term.

That was matts intention, einstein.

Bill just had Trump . Why didn’t he ask Trump Why AREN’”T you in the primary state’s ? Rather then why are you to Bachman .
And why didn’t he ask Obama about our 57 states ? If this little crap is so important . Either it is or isn’t Bill .

It really gets tiring about references to Obama’s use of the teleprompter. More often than not he appears not to be using a teleprompter and is certainly one of the brightest and verbally dextrous Presidents we’ve had. It’s really very belittling and disrepectful of his vituperative and hateful critics to go on about one or two recorded gaffes he’s made. He’s dealt firmly and positively with some very heavy stuff without making too many mistakes. History is going to be very kind to Obama which is more than I can say about most Republicans. Bush II was probably one of the most unqualified Presidents in the history of this country and you rightwingers gave him a pass on nearly every mistake he made. If you can pull back for just one tiny moment you have to acknowledge that if Obama were a white man your hostility to him and his policies would be greatly diminished. Yes, the old race card again, and, of course, like Steven Colbert, rightwingers never see race as an issue! As for Michele Bachmann, she is in her way even worse and more dangerous than Sarah Palin because she’s not as stupid. But it’s hard to believe she’ll be a serious candidate.

“History is going to be very kind to Obama”

I’ve notice Bachmann is about repeating the same talking points over and over again, recycling the same jokes often and continuously repeating the internet/media meme catch phrases.

Basically lacking any substance.

Nothing so much destroys your eloquent and increasingly hateful defense of your president as video of him when his teleprompter breaks down. The man doesn’t leave home without one (or several).

We should be more critical of our political figures. The job should require more than saying with a straight face that you are qualified when you have yet to demonstrate it. Obama is the classic example, but I think it applies to Bachmann (and Palin) as well.

Remember when he took questions from the GOP congressional caucus at that retreat and Fox News cut away? Using your logic, that completely destroys your argument since I have provided a countercounterexample to your counterexample.

Perhaps if she used Obama’s teleprompter she might make some effing sense for a change….

Exactly. She mocks Obama for using a teleprompter, but she wouldn’t last 10 minutes answering unscreened questions at a town hall meeting.

She couldn’t even face a camera. We’re still waiting for her “The Founding Fathers fought to end slavery” explanation. This is what graduates of Liberty University are taught? She’s not exactly Harvard material is she? Nice softballs there Bill O. He’s a regular Edward R Murrow.

Michelle Bachmann has got it going on….I wish her well on her Quest!

Say you in the post after you perpetuate the teleprompter myth.

You’d think a paleoconservative (in the Buchanan mold?) would have plenty of criticism of the current neoconservative GOP, along with legitimate criticisms of the current administration, instead of resorting to false memes of the simple-minded.

The difference between you and me is that I would never defend an equivalent of Bachmann on the left. The woman says stupid things regularly, makes fallacious claims and the usual clit-swinging crowd is there to defend her mental vacuity. ;)

You know, it might behoove you to check out the post to which *I* was responding to see I was attempting to make very much the same point. I do have plenty of legitimate criticisms of all sides that sometimes gets play here – what usually follows is a misspelled and grammatically incorrect post by Garth or some such calling me a dummy. So there’s that.

I’m not entirely certain the teleprompter myth is untrue, but in a deeper sense that’s seldom touched upon. To be sure, he’s intelligent, is a gifted speaker and has a firm grasp of rhetoric; also the malfunction of a piece of equipment with which most politicians rely on to some degree is certain to be disconcerting – enough so to cause a moment of embarrassing fluster. But – and here’s where the point comes in – this president is messaged to a degree that I’ve never seen before. I don’t suppose he’s as empty a vessel as I once thought him to be, but it’s significant that his handlers do *NOT* often let Obama extemporize.

But no, I didn’t expected people to get the fullness of my criticism from my post. It was a cheep shot for a cheep shot; to go into my thoughts to any extent would have been a non-sequitur. Bachmann’s no dummy just as Obama’s no dummy, but simple denials aren’t effective. Narrative attacks requires countering.

Now, I fully expect some chuckle head to follow this post up and drag the conversation back into the mud with some cheep shot about how Bush, a Harvard educated MBA, couldn’t tie his own shoes. I think of him as a poor president, and would often find cause to give criticisms, but more often than not you’ll find me sticking up for the man simply for the leveled attack being unfair.

My doubt comes when I see the same answer no matter what the question is.

She will dodge and not answer a specific question and just hit play on the tape player and repeat.

I suppose she is a typical politician, just what she claims she is not.

Conservatarian, it’s called the “Bush factor.” In this day and age of almost instantaneous media, a gaffe will travel across the world before you get a chance to clarify or amend it. You don’t have days to do it, you have hours! This was used very effectively against Bush by the left to demonstrate or introduce the meme that he was dumb or stupid. His very public faux pas, quirky /comical ad libs and ad hoc statements — just reinforced this narrative. Ever since then, politicians who are consistently in the public eye are very measured and scripted when dealing with media since most of the time, these “mistakes” distract from the message. This is especially amplified by the office of the President whose every word is followed diligently. We are all human and sometimes we don’t have the capacity to pre-analyze and parse unprepared and unscripted statements or moments. You would have to be a machine. I can surely understand it. Sometimes, your words can be distorted by a partisan outlet to infer something completely different, and/or at other times — your statement was just factually incorrect. I have always been for people apologizing and correcting the mistake, than being combative, and playing victim to some implied journalistic slight (Palin) or just using plain ol’ deflection tactics like Bachmann does here. Obama had nothing to do with your Concord screw-up, lady! However, it’s different when you introduce or make accusatory statements and you get challenged on their merits. You better be able to defend them and do so accurately.

Bachmann might just have to use the Palin playbook and right the answers on her hand. She might win Iowa but she won’t go too far. The GOP bigwigs won’t let that happen.

If you are concerned about things getting tiring because they are often repeated, you would be appalled by BO’s constant blaming Bush for his own policies. But your liberal head is so far up your liberal ass that you can probably see your liberal intestines.

I noticed something and decided to do a quick little count. This Bachmann article and the Rumsfeld article came out at about the same time. The shot at Bachmann earned 65 post, with 42 mindless libs bitching and whining, apparently over this woman who is no threat yet they seem terrified of. While the Rummy article has 28 post with 19 righties, 8 libs and 5 I dont know wtf’s.

The point is that, for an attempt to take childish jabs at this “retarded non threat,” they cant wait to rush on and post their drivel. But where it could be really needed, a legit defense of our Hamster in Chief, we get the cricket garden in full chorus.

Very telling. Very amusing.

The rules are pretty easy. If a liberal makes a gaffe, it’s just a slip of the tongue. If a conservative makes a gaffe, it proves stupidity.
