Could this be the most absurd tea bag statement to date?

[triguy46]

"Betty Soban, an admiring constituent of Bachmann's, said: "My family left Germany because of Hitler and socialized medicine. I see it happening here." Important to her, she said, are "freedom of ownership. Freedom of our guns. Freedom of having babies." "

I have a friend whose mother got out in 1937 to the UK. She has never mentioned socialized medicine as a reason. Kristallnacht, for sure. This is the saddest, lamest, weakest made up bullshit I've heard. This person should be ashamed of herself. Why could there not be a follow up question, "And how has your "Freedom to have babies" been limited in the past 18 months?"

2. I think I may be wandering into an oxymoron world..

[walldude]

3. So what happened to her "freedom of ownership"?

And her "freedom of her guns" and her freedom to make babies? Did something happen while I was asleep?

6. Wait a minute..............

who goes around preventing a person from having a baby if they want to. Is that going to be a tea bag saying now. The left won't let them have babies. Jeeezz what a bunch of idiots.

7. Her family left Germany because of Hitler & socialized medicine?

That would be the only family in history to have left Germany for that specific reason. Hitler - That's a reason. Persecution of Jews and other minorities - That's a reason. Nazi brownshirt aggression - That's a reason.

Socialized medicine - I call bullshit. No one left Germany in the 1930's through 1940's because medicine had been socialized.

8. Lets see you live through socialized fascism

9. It takes a truly unique and remarkable character to do so, you must admit.

Or maybe just a remarkably stupid and easily manipulated one.
