Outgoing lunatic Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) derailed a CNN discussion on Tuesday about the thousands of undocumented immigrants arriving in the U.S. from Central America by calling them invaders and linking them to at least one rape case and an auto accident from six years ago.
Foreign nationals that have come into the United States are between 300- to 500,000, Bachmann told an incredulous Crossfire co-host Van Jones. My heart is broken for a female college student in Minnesota who was raped, murdered and mutilated by a foreign national who came into our country. We had a school bus full of kids in Minnesota four children were killed on that school bus because an illegal alien driving a van went into that schoolbus.
There are lines that cant be crossed here, Jones responded. Im sorry, congresswoman. Are you gonna scapegoat children for the crime of this despicable person?

Are you sure that Bachmann and Gohmert aren't brother and sister?

(23,973 posts)She has five of her own, and fostered 23 kids over a period of nine years.
The Bachmanns were allowed to foster three children at a time, getting up to $50,000.00 a year from the state to do so.
Bachmann and her husband have also provided foster care for 23 other children,[30][31] all teenage girls. The Bachmanns were licensed from 1992 to 2000 to handle up to three foster children at a time; the last child arrived in 1998. The Bachmanns began by providing short-term care for girls with eating disorders who were patients in a program at the University of Minnesota. The Bachmann home was legally defined as a treatment home, with a daily reimbursement rate per child from the state. Some girls stayed a few months, others more than a year.[24]

I'm sure the money had little or nothing to do with the Bachmann's decision to become foster parents, after all, we all know Michele and her husband aren't huge con men running a scam.

That's what she represents.
She's a sick evil bitch and the conservanazis love her.

(16,296 posts)She knows exactly what to say about anything to bring out the fear factor in her audience. Have an upset stomach, some foreign person somewhere spat on your food. Shoes too tight, some illegal working on a machine stitching them together hates Americans and did it deliberately. She knows what buttons to push.
And ALL OF YOU ARE BEING TOO HARD ON HER. A little respect, after all--- she's on the House Intelligence Committee and you know how smart you have to be to sit on that committee.

(5,103 posts)I wonder how this would go over with the RW asshats?
Pull a bus up to the protestors, unload the kids into a field, set up a machine gun and mow them down.
Of course it's all special effects and actors but they wouldn't know that.
How would Fox, Rush and all these despicable people react? Would they cheer at how quickly the 'problem' was solved or would they get offended?
Well, you wanted them gone! Now they're gone!
Let their true colors show.
Reveal the ruse after a week to give them all time to do themselves in!
Got to have a "Making of Documentary' just so people around the world know we haven't lost our minds.
Thoughts?

I have a field day whenever I run into one of my 'christian' neighbors, and as of late, I have been spending the bulk of my time cleaning up tiny brian parts when their heads explode. They do not know ANYTHING EXCEPT WHAT THEY HEAR AT FAUX NOISE!... and the other tea-hadists who live all over here. Nevertheless, I'm having a ball hearing ridiculous shit falling out of their mouths everyday. I was at the bank and some old hopped-up hosebag actually blamed Obama for taking away her light bulbs. By the time in injected logic into her conversation with the teller, I had 3 tellers laughing and she stormed out before even putting her money and receipt in her purse.
