Michelle Bachmann, "I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous"

[cynatnite]

And in March, Bachmann appeared to urge supporters to take up arms over a Democratic bill to address climate change, telling listeners of a conservative Minnesota radio program: "I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax, because we need to fight back."

1. If Speaker Pelosi had said that after the 1994 mid-terms, the right-wingers would STILL

be talking about it.

[TheWraith]

2. And yet shockingly, some DUers still think self defense is immoral. nt

[depakid]

7. No, we believe in science and understand that people are safer without having guns around

[Tejas]

21. translation: we believe the USA should be just like Britain

[TheWraith]

25. There's no real science at all which suggests that.

The only way you can get that conclusion from "science" is if you're doing Bush science, deliberately putting a thumb on the scales to get the result you're looking for.

[fedupinhouston]

35. There is no scientific basis for your statement.

More people died, both in total numbers and as a portion of the human population, BEFORE the advent of firearms then since.

Would you like to try again, or do you prefer to live in ignorance?

Oh, I'm sorry - I'm new here. I should probably let you know I don't suffer fools gladly and have no respect for those who spew mental vomit as a replacement for facts.

[Kaleko]

3. Great. Keep exposing yourself as a violent fanatic, Ms B.

Go on. Tell us everything you know we should do.

[Blue_In_AK]

4. Are she and the other one in some kind of competition

to see who can be more inflammatory?

[LuckyLib]

5. They're in a race to the bottom to see which can appear more idiotic.

So far it's a tie.

[lib_wit_it]

28. The scary part is the people out there who support her. She has got to be one of the stupidest

people I have ever seen. The nonsense about CO2 being harmless because it's natural??!! Honestly, it took my breath away. This is some major league idiocy! Do the buildings stand and the electricity work and the water run in her district. Are there constant accidents in the streets because no one can remember what the colors on the stop lights mean? Do they eat their own crap from the toilets because it's natural and therefore must be good for them?

Sorry, I've grossed myself out, now. I usually don't appreciate or use toilet humor, but this isn't funny, and I am not myself when contemplating the idea that this woman is seen fit to be a member of the United States Congress. Utterly mind boggling.

16. Palin/Bachmann 2012

Imagine the fireworks...

[stuball111]

19. Imagine the TV ratings!

I sit in awe whenever I hear her speak... Just boggles my mind how unbelievably whacko she is! But ya know, I usually find myself laffing my head off she's so out there! Whenever I see her mug on TV, I drop everything and tune in... never a dull moment! And her an Palin together! Wow! That would be like the repups packing TNT on their only ship and lighting the fuse! I'm all for them on the ticket, man, that would finish the Republican party off for good! I can't fathom how much damage the two of them would do to that party!

[krispos42]

20. Read my sigline...

And somebody around here had made a picture a while back... "Palin/Bachmann 2012 - A Double Dose of Batshit Crazy"

:-)

[Paladin]

32. Palin/Bachman Would Get Some Support In The DU Guns Forum. (n/t)

[krispos42]

33. I don't think anybody in there this that insane...

...after all, you have to have a job to have money to buy a gun, and it's guaranteed that you won't have a job under Palin/Bachmann!

Bachmann is on record for repealing the minimum wage! :crazy:

[ellie]

24. Nice cartoon!

I have never seen it before.

[Historic NY]

6. Maybe its time to start arming ourselves for protection..with what stuff they are spewing.

[titoresque]

9. .

I think the RWers would be really suprised to find out just how many Dems/Progressives are already armed.

[Historic NY]

10. your absolutely right.

[cliffordu]

17. Yep - a really big surprise.

[stuball111]

18. :*)

:hi: First thing I did when I got here from Canada!

[lib_wit_it]

29. I despise that idea, but after the Obama election inspired so many RW nut cases to buy even more

weapons, I began asking my husband to consider us getting a gun. He hates the idea and worries about the safety od having one in the house all the times we won't need it to defend ourselves against the RW militia, or whatever. I hate it too, but still maybe we should have one.

We know nothing about guns. Any recs for a relatively inexpensive, user-friendly option?

[fedupinhouston]

36. You may be right...

It has been my experience that the assumption is you are a conservative if you're pro-gun, and if you're a progressive/liberal you must be unarmed.

Of course, to be fair, we don't exactly do anything to correct that oversight. In fact, one of the quickest ways to get labeled a right-winger is to admit you are Pro-RKBA.

[spanone]

8. i don't think even michelle knows what kind of shit will fly out of her mouth

[Milspec]

22. The stupid....it burns

[Tx4obama]

11. Looks like Congress has grounds to remove her!

"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability." U.S. Constitution, 14th Amendment

Video of Michele Bachmann (The inciting to violence starts around the 2:45 point)

[kevinbgoode]

13. We really should demand that kind of justice.

Let the GOP start freaking out over LOSING seats.

[silverweb]

15. Your post should be emailed to our reps.

Seriously.

The text and the video, exactly as you have them, should be emailed by each of us to our congressional representatives along with a demand to uphold the law and remove her.

I'm sending mine right now.

[kevinbgoode]

12. Good God...if I could put together a commercial about Bachmann

I swear. . .I'd do nothing but show thirty seconds of two images: one. . .a picture of a Christmas fruitcake. . .and two. . .a photograph of Bachmann. For 25 seconds I would just show the images one after the other and for the last five seconds end with a simple question:

"Which one is nuttier?"

"Don't send back to Washington anything that's worse than a fruitcake."

[Chulanowa]

14. The fruitcake probably hasn't marinated in brandy as long, either

[RadiationTherapy]

23. First thing that comes to mind:

[bamacrat]

26. Isn't inciting violence a crime?

Better yet isn't inciting violence against govt officials treason? Minnesotans are intelligent people, they elected Wellstone and Franken so WTF happened here? This lady is a dangerous nutbag scarry she's in congress.

[cynatnite]

27. When the repukes deny they're inciting anything, we can point to this woman. n/t

[SmileyRose]

30. Michelle Bachman should be institutionalized for her own protection

that woman is batshit.

[Canuckistanian]

31. That's dangerous and irresponsible language

And it's shameful for a sitting politician to use.

Because there ARE people who WILL take that literally.

[Becky72]

34. Baby Palin has no brains either

She's been fact-checked hard by independent websites. She lies often.

[sakabatou]

37. She gets nuttier every time.

[BlueIdaho]

38. Certifiable Lunatic. nt.

[AntiFascist]

39. We'd better get the death camps ready for them...

:sarcasm:
