Michele Bachmann looked really nervous on FNS with Chris Wallace, but her nerves didn't stop her from coming off as a lunatic. For his part Wallace asked some tough questions, but then didn't press her on her tea party-over the top stupidity.
I may start calling her "Nostradamus," since she's calling herself that and Wallace put up the transcript of what she said. She avoided addressing the issue that she called Obama "anti-American" on an earlier FNS and instead, attacked Obama's policies again. When Wallace told her that Bush is the one who bailed out the Banks and AIG, she just said, "That's right." The next question should have been, "Was George Bush anti-American too?"
Flashback time. Remember when Michele tried to stick her tongue down George Bush's throat during his SOTU address in 2008?
Wallace: Can't you disagree with his policies without saying he's anti-American?
Bachmann: Well I didn't say he was anti-American on when I was on Sean Hannity show..I, I said that his policies were radical and I think they are....
Her defense is to say she didn't call him anti-American on Hannity's show. Teh stoopid, it hurts. She just lies and makes up all her "facts" without a hint of guilt. She just went into her anti-federal government schtick and lied about the size of corporate America and then went into another lie about Obama's position on a Value Added Tax. Of course, the president didn't say anything about VATs, but Paul Volcker did. Wallace actually didn't let that one go by.
Wallace: In fairness, the president hasn't proposed that, one of his top economic advisors, Paul Volcker, this week sugggested we might have to consider it, but the president hasn't proposed it.
Bachmann says "we've gone from 100% of the private economy being private" to now the United States "owns or effectively owns" 51% of the private economy. This is what's called, "complete bullshit."
Wallace points out that the bank bailouts were done by Bush, but he should also point out that WE DO NOT "OWN" ANY OF THOSE BANKS. Those banks were, very explicitly, NOT NATIONALIZED.
Bachmann is also against the Value-Added Tax, because it's European. Europeans love getting taxed! If someone would only tell them that they didn't have to pay so much in taxes, and all they'd have to give up were many "goods and services" their government provides. Wallace points out that the VAT is also something that the president hasn't endorsed. She's also upset by elevated levels of unemployment, but, I guess not willing to do anything that brings down those levels? I hope we get to the whole part where Tim Geithner wants to peg our economy to the dinar soon!
What didn't she lie about? Her name. "Nostradamus"
Nostra -DUMB- ASS.
Yes.
I called myself Nostradamus one day and my wife quickly responded with Nostra-Dumb-Ass.
It's was one of her best lines ever.
DUMB- ASS or dumber- ass?
....that's Sarah Palin, the former half-governor of Alaska.
She probably meant "Nostra-Damn-Ass".
Yeah, that's it!!
Good gawd, it hurts. It hurts. TOO MUCH STUPID in one stupid person.
Hey,
I just want to say I don't think that Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin and the rest of the Teabaggers are stupid Muthaf@!kers.
It's just I feel like I'm a muthaf@!king genuis when I'm around them!
I wouldn't put her or Palin in charge of a preschool. They are two of the most dimwitted human-beings to be in the public square, at the same time. It'd be okay if they were comedians, but not politicians; no way.
Neither would I. And I'm no fan of kids.

Yeah, the kids would all wind up pregnant
I wouldn't even put her or Palin in charge of an ant farm.
makeover and subsequent increase in TV face time? I really wonder what she's being groomed for. I seriously doubt she'd be a Palin running mate; perhaps a Palin substitute?

The reason I ask is that in this dimension Obama wasn't in any position where he would have voted on the Patriot Act. And in this dimension there is no Republican that would have voted against it or against immunity for the wiretap felons. But here as in your dimension our Obama did pull a backstabbing move and voted with the Republican teabags for that immunity for the felons.
yeah sorry...
Obama voted to re-authorise the patriot act in 2006.

Maybe she's been absorbed by FOX Terror TV.
There is nothing left of a thinking person here. Strictly scripted histaria.
She's probably been getting away with it all her life, sort of.

as a way to make up what would be lost in a flat tax
Who can afford things besides necessities? Up here, we have National Grid (power company) whining about how consumption is down, and so is their income. Good for nature, tough for them and the taxing authorities. In upstate NY, heat is a necessity. Apparently, even necessities are not selling that well. If people do not buy things that are taxed, what will happen then to the governments? Wait a minute...this could work to our advantage. It helps that unemployed people don't usually owe any taxes, either. They're worried about the banks in DC? They should be worried about themselves.
I don't know if it is public discourse going south or that the media is giving credence to these crazies. Anybody who talks sense or tells the truth gets ignored by the media. Liberal media what a lie! The MSM is part of the right-wing cabal.
I hope Obama has a second term but I don't know, there are a lot of people who hate him probably because he is black.
runs her mouth---As to Obama voting on the Patriot Act --Think he was still in the Illinois legislature!
But nothing else she says is true --why expect a tidbite of truth now..She is truely a fowl-with no wings...but a great deal of shi)!
her district in mn has the highest unemployment of any there.... when are her constituents going to wake up?
i saw the woman who is the dem opposing her and cant remember her name, but if anyone knows, we need to support her...
If I were a constituent in MN6, I would be very embarrassed and highly annoyed to have Michele Bachmann as my rep in Congress. She has no shame, knows nothing about anything, and is not ashamed about knowing nothing about anything.
Her district has the highest level of unemployment and foreclosures in Minnesota, but does she care about this? Apparently not, given the non-issues and wingnuttery that she actively partakes in.
She is NUTS! A prime example of why politicians should be psychologically examined before being let loose in public. MN6 deserves better!!
The tea party is equally proud of all their ignorant, racist, whores.
Ignorant and racist, definitely.
I don't think "whores" is fair, though, unless you're talking about Vitter, Steele, et al. While I love the Drift Glass turn of phrase, "flashing her political tits at them", I think she's only a whore in terms of attention. People are pretending those two are brilliant, and they constantly have a camera in their face.
dangerous. At no time in history did corporations control 100% of the economy. If a single person worked for the government then is was less than 100%. In every economy in the world that have a per capita income comparable to ours the government takes a comparable portion of the economy. In most of the economy that is far poorer that ours the government take a smaller portion of the economy. The basic reason for this is that neccessary spending on education, heathcare, law enforcement and infrastructure does not take place and as a result the economy does not growth. Corporations are only interested in themselves and not their nation and not the public. Placing our future in their hands would just be stupid.
Thought I do really like Nostradumbass... I think I have to go with sharksbreath on that one.
Nostradumbass.
Bachman and her family receive $251,000 in subsidies for the family farm. Has she offered to give the money back to the govt since she does not believe in social programs? Nope she will continue to take the money. But will fight against health care reform because she claims it is socialism. How do people like this get elected?

Is that what they call a large group of foster kids in MN?

Monsanto's biggest crops. I am absolutely shocked that this is so. Shocked, I tell you. I'll see if I can find out how much Monsanto bribes her, I mean contributes to her campaign later. Shocked, shocked, shocked...
Um, when did "we have to get to full employment" become a
RepublicanConservativeTeabagDumbasswinger talking point? Did I miss a memo from Newt Gingrich while I was busy busy slamming tequila body shots off the wait-staff at Hooters with Michael Steele?a Christian Side Hug?
Nostradamus? Daphne Duck is more like it.
must have given Bachman an ennema for her to pull all that BS out of her derriere.
Chris Wallace to say: "Uh, Ms. Bachmann, there is no such thing as a 100% private economy. don't be SO STUPID!"
or...
"Ms. Bachmann, suggesting that the government "OWNs OR EFFECTIVELY OWNs" 51% of private business, when our GNP is over 14 TRILLION DOLLARS... THAT'S THE DUMBEST THING YOU'VE EVER SAID!"
What would be so difficult about that?
more like "Nostra-dumass"
Sorry, could not help myself.
Obama has anti-crazy-white-teabagger views. Which in Bachmann's mind means anti-American.
Palin-Bachmann 2012!!
Celebrate freedom from mental health care. Forth the stupid.

Bachmann seems like a crazy lady that needs a hug and change back to private life, until she gets more experience...?
Palin seems like a crazy lady that needs an exorcism and a return to private life.

Sad, sad, sad. Notice she never says "yes" or "no" when the idiot asks her the questions. It's just an attention getter. If it wasn't for her being a complete loon on tape, nobody would know or care who the f*ck she is.
"What didn't she lie about? Her name. "Nostradamus".....".....Amato
Well, Bachmann isn't worth the 1/5 amp it would take to comment on anything she had to say. However, Nostradamus is not deserving to be associated with the "liar implication."
Of all the amazing things he was, "liar" most certainly wasn't one them. And it is a careless association, at that.
Bachmann would be in jail under the so-called Patriot Act. She called THE PRESIDENT anti-American. And she has repeatedly made statements that incite violence. Are you kidding me?
She's dumber than a pair of testicles. And that says even worse about the morons who continue to vote for her.
NOBODY 2012
Obama doesn't want to impose taxes on anyone earning less than $250,000 and has provided tax breaks for 95% of the population.
VAT would eliminate all that Obama has done for the middle class worker so far by taxing everyone with a 20-25% Sales Tax.
I don't ever see that happening!

I wonder what hallucinogenic she's using to jump on the crazy train every morning.
