Michele Bachmann was on Glenn Beck's show yesterday -- with Judge Andrew Napolitano sitting in for Beck, who came down with appendicitis after his candidate, Doug Hoffmann, lost in the NY-23 race -- plumping her big Tea Party protest of the House health-care reform bill today on Capitol Hill -- which she calls "Super Bowl of Freedom".
According to ThinkProgress, Bachmann is calling on protesters to “scare” members of Congress into killing health-care reform. “Republican organizers are planning for activists to go into the House office buildings and the U.S. Capitol and confront members directly.”
You have to be a little concerned about the kinds of nutcases she's calling upon to visit their Congresscritters. After all, Bachmann herself is a promoter of far-flung "constitutionalist" conspiracy theories about replacing the American currency, youth re-education camps and Obama-ordered "concentration camps." Napolitano opened the segment with a clip of Bachmann grilling Tim Geithner with her otherworldly questions about the "constitutionality" of the stimulus package.
So of course, they couldn't help but indulge in a fresh round of paranoia about security for today's 'Tea Party':
Napolitano: I have to give you a little bit of a warning. I have a friend in the American intelligence community who lives and works around Washington, D.C., who told me: 'Watch out for Mrs. Pelosi making the security requirements almost impossible to get to this rally.' You guys have to watch out for that, that she doesn't do something to make it very difficult for the folks to come to this gathering at noon tomorrow.
Bachmann: Well, she controls the Capitol. She's a very powerful individual. And she controls ingress and egress, and so, I think it would be a big mistake for Speaker Pelosi to prevent the American people from coming to their House. This is their House, after all. This is why we need to make this emergency 'House Call' on Congress tomorrow.
One can only imagine some of these doofus teabaggers getting lost on the Metro and then blaming Nancy Pelosi for it.
and sheeeee's a douche!
If your against the bill, you should just shut-up, not talk to your congressperson and never tell them your point of view.....and seriously, don't visit them, they know better than you what should be happening in your life and what you need....
Seriously people, it's called The United States of America, where not only do you have the right to question Congress, it should be encouraged.
Why so much hate on the left takes place, I will never figure out. Only when you agree or think the same as they do, is everything ok. The OP and this article encourages hate from the left. Not to mention the labeling of stereotypes by the community, it's disgusting.
Because we never see any hate or dogma coming from the right.
So, since hate comes from one side, you should propagate it right? Both sides spew it, but it takes a bigger person to not continue it.
I mostly spew mockery. Sometimes despair, but mockery seems to have the most promise of altering behavior. Or at least makes people think a little before posting.
We all knew you were spewing. It helps to know what.

Then try being the bigger person instead of trolling.
I did not realise that the only option other than acting like a lunatic when one disagreed with politicians was to "shut up". I would bring up elections, but since most of the temper tantrums seem to be over the fact your side lost them I doubt that is really even seen as a viable option to the teabagger crowd. Besides, it would harsh on the "Red Dawn" fantasies.
And remember that shit for brains who shouted, "You lie," during a presidential address?

Gee, John, nice of you to stop by and troll for a little while.
But I think you took a wrong turn somewhere in your fantasy universe and ended up here in the real one.
Wear firearms to a Bush rally?
Hang Bush in effigy?
Storm the Capitol in an anarchic frenzy?
Even get anywhere NEAR a Bush rally if they carried a sign with an anti-Bush slogan?
Create a viral e-mail with Bush as a primitive witch doctor?
Tell the right that if they didn't agree with the President they were traitors to the US? (as righties did) Talk about STEREOTYPES. People on the left during the Bush years were AFRAID to speak out because they might get arrested. Now the right SHOULD speak out, but can it be done in a nonhateful, nonviolent way? Instead we hear a Republican Congresswoman exhorting the faithful to SCARE Congress. What kind of civilized society members do that?
Republicans who are high on caffinated tea?
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Why so much hate on the left takes place.....
Yeah and Bush/Cheney's wars are a hippy fest in the tulips!
Are you implying that it's because we hate Bachman that we're calling her out on being dizzy as a June bug? Really? Are you sure that's how you want to play it? One negative comment from one disgruntled poster and you see "so much hate"? Has anyone here ever suggested that someone not voice their point of view to their congressman? No. You are using the rhetorical technique know as "making stuff up".
Lost on the Metro? They may wind up in the State of Washington.

poisoning Nancy Pelosi?
Well, come closer... (shifts eyes back and forth and lowering voice to a whisper) Nancy actually got to Glenn Beck before he got to her... She poisoned his appendix and made him sick!!! She's just that powerful!!!
BWA Ha ha ha ha!!!
(How's that for a conspiracy theory?) ;)
Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught

Awwwwww, Beck got appendicitis. What a shame. Couldn't have happened to a nicer moron!!
Guess who he'll be blaming for that...
The next thing you'll be hearing from Glenn Beck, Michele Bachmann, the mighty Lord Limpballs and other GOP nutcases is the Democrats are conjuring up evil spirits to sicken, and possibly kill, the GOP. What a bunch of idiots!!
I think Beck was floored by a teabag.
So many people wishing he would shut up, at least for a few days.
Apparently Michele didn't learn anything about the election in Upstate NY.
And its 1 minute to 12. (Is that noon or midnight?...she didn't say)
And they're going to vote on it Friday...or maybe its Saturday...

Oh, that's it. I'm done. Pelosi won't let me wear my hood, or carry my hunting assault weapon. No grenades... Hunting grenades? She's trying to stop be from being an American...Single shot muskets only? Only if the cops do, will I . I is a law abiding citizen out to protect my insulting rights. Got that...
how many of the protestors give up their VA benefits and Medicare. After all, those are "socialist" healthcare programs, aren't they?

Can't her House censure her as per Article I Sec. 5 pp 2?
To say show their concern is one thing, Democratic principles in action, but to "scare" sounds like a threat that goes far beyond saying their vote might cost their reelection.

The problem with the Dems is they simply don't know how to have fun.

Yeah. If the GOP wants to promote a return to basic values. Boehner shoudl get up in front of the House and sing "Mammy" while in blackface, and have Rep. Cantor behind him whipping Bachmann's petticoated bottom with a hickory switch.

"the practice of extorting money or other property, especially by a public official, by the use of threats"
Sounds like the FBI should investigate this GOP thug-fest. The anti-gang laws should be applied to "Bachmann's Brownshirts."
Brownshorts after security gets done with them.
so, bachmann would welcome, with open arms, a gathering of liberals/progressives inside the capitol? and she would have no security concerns if those same people got up in her face and looked into the whites of her lifeless eyes? she would be ok if liberal activists tried to scare her? she would defend the right of progressives to gather en masse inside the capitol? riiiiiiiiight...
bitch is hypocrite. hypobitch. bitchocrite. bachmann.

With Minnesota's population decreasing, coupled with Shelley-baby urging her constituents to refuse to answer questions from the next census, it becomes far more important that we elect a Democrat as governor AND win the house and senate in the 2010 election. Anybody wanna guess whose seat would disappear? (Heh-heh-heh)

I am fascinated by Judge Napolitano's hairline.
Does he comb his eyebrows back so that his hairline seems to start in the middle of his forehead, or does it just look that way?
His head has that ridge, but he pouffes up his hair so it can't be seen.
Really? They don't have their own, other full time job to do?

Maybe the families of all the people that has died from lack of insurance or insurance denials should show up. As far as the Constitution goes: Article I. Section 8. Clause 1: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States. I think that the health of it's citizens would be the general Welfare of this great country.
