Hailing from my home state of Minnesota, Republican Michelle Bachmann has been making quite a scene these days. I think we all remember her very special interview with Chris Matthews in which she called our current president "un-American." To be completely fair, though, Matthews (just like Katie Couric did with Sarah Palin) is a fascist liberal faggot who had the audacity to (gasp!)...ask her questions. So it really wasn't her fault and that's why she has never apologized for it.
Remember...conservatives...never wrong...always right!
It should come as no surprise to anyone that she is now advocating an armed insurgency, proving me right yet again that conservatives seem to view all things through the lens of violence. Speaking out against cap and trade a couple of weeks back, Bachmann said she wants Minnesotans "armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back."
Hmm...now let me see if I have this straight. Conservatives spent months talking about William Ayers, Weather Underground, and their ties with the supposed "radicalness" of Barack Obama and yet who are the ones that continue advocating insurgency?
Meanwhile, Sarah Palin, talking a break from creating a list of books to be banned in her quickly fading fairy tale of being the queen, is-OMG-like sooo pissed off and stuff because of what Levi dished on Tyra so she went to her BFFs at People Magazine and set the record straight.
Is it just me or does the conservative movement get more entertaining every day?

It's funny how you guys always need apologies. I thought private lives and family were off limits. Not to markadelphia I guess. Ayers didn't just advocate insurgency, he actually planted the bombs. You watching the Tyra show markadelphia? Get a life.
Wow, thanks for the update on Palin. Cling cling cling. So an 18 year old former boyfriend of the daughter of a former veep candidate, who was probably getting paid to be on that show (don't know that for sure....don't know how shows like that work) drives the "conservative movement"? Even more than, say, the alternative budget that Paul Ryan introduced last week?
To a couple things rld said...yeah what is with y'all and apologies? So let me see if I have this straight - somebody saying something on a network that nobody watches now ranks right up there with people who actually planted bombs? Ayers is on "your side" after all.
Is it true that Obama tells reporters hours ahead of time which ones of 'em will get to ask him questions at press conferences?
Is it true that nobody on here has admitted they were wrong about the healthcare systems in Canada and Massachusetts?
Now bring on those insults!!
The point, last, which you seem to miss consistently on here is that the queen of family values (and one of three front runners for the Republican ticket in 2012)doesn't exactly live by them. She doesn't care if her daughter engages in premarital sex. Now that doesn't bother liberal folk like me and other Dems who are "heathens." But the base? That's a real problem and that makes it an issue.
As to the issue of the budget, the Bachmann line was in direct reference to the budget..at least the one that, unlike the Republican version, had numbers in it. I think what she said is a real problem and does echo the sentiment of the Kevin Bakers of the world.
I'd like to see a source on that reporters thing as well, last, although I think I can guess pretty easily where it comes from.
RLD, weren't you the one harping about Ayers on here all the time? So it's OK what Bachmann said then? Mark's point is well taken.
Sara, the story about the reporters has been the latest rage on right wing radio and blogs. They are trying to paint President Obama as being like Bush which is pretty fucking funny considering all evidence to the contrary (open town halls, the "liberal" media dissecting him in just about every way, his repeated executive actions allowing more openess).
"that makes it an issue"
Well that makes if all official doesn't it! Were you in that video on youtube called How Obama got Elected?
I see your point exactly - that this is an issue you know and that you think matters...as opposed to health care, energy, taxes, deficits, etc. It also takes the focus off the fact that same folks that condemned GWB for running $300-$400 billion deficits now seem to have no problem whatsoever with budgets being approved that average $1 trillion deficits annually over the next decade. After quadrupling the budget deficit in one year, a politician fulfilling a pledge to "cut the deficit in half" from that level by 2013 doesn't impress me.
Instead of telling yourself what the "base" thinks is an issue, why don't you ask the base what they think of the issue? (that is asking too much apparantly). I could care less about such things.
Why do you care how people live their lives? I thought that was the job of those evil religious folks? She doesn't care? Were you in their household recently? or do you have the same skill Mark does in being able to magically know other peoples thoughts and motivations? I'd say a more accurate description of events would be to say that Bristol doesn't live by them and she acted like a typical 17 year old.
Trust me honey - if we were to start airing dirt on here you may be stunned at who is the biggest heathen on here. Boo-ya.
Will you guys quit arguing politics - the Bears now have a QB!! Also, the Cubs are starting their world series run tonight on ESPN2!! The streets will flow with the blood of the non-believers!!
Meanwhile, Sarah Palin, talking a break from creating a list of books to be banned
Why are you still repeating this lie? Seriously, why? Is it like believing in God - something you just have to do and can't explain in any rational way?
For the 900th time, juris, the list itself was a lie but the impetus to do so was not. How many more people from Wasilla is it going to take before you are no longer naive enough to believe that she was simply asking a standard interview "test" question?
Thanks for checking in with us Jay.
Today is the anniversary of John Wayne winning his only oscar...for his role in True Grit.
Another thing for Sara - religion points the way to salvation and provides for many folks a guide on how to live their lives. It does not automatically mean that everyone who believes is a saint or has to behave like a saint.
My vision of a Sarah Palin presidency...
Upon being elected, President Palin tasks her Secretary of Education to remove all history texts from curriculum which paints the United States in a negative light (Vietnam, Iraq etc). Mark will scream about book banning to a group of buffoons who will say, "Oh, she's not really banning books. She is just being a patriot."
Pay no attention to what your eyes and ears tell you...just listen to us and believe. (GOP Party Platform Point #1)
nobody here said that was patriotic. stick around drew, you'll fit in quite well seeing as you like to make stuff up.
For the 900th time, juris, the list itself was a lie but the impetus to do so was not.
Sorry, I just don't get the "it's not the truth but points to a deeper truth" view of the world. It's too much like religion.
The impetus to do the thing that was never done. and that's good enough for them. Got it.
