UNLIMITED MICHELLE BACHMANN APPRECIATION THREAD

[Doktor Howl]

She makes Sarah Palin look like Stephen fucking Hawking.


2007, Bachmann returned from a junket to Iraq and told her colleagues, "There's a commonality with the Mall of America, in that it's on that proportion. There's marble everywhere. The other thing I remarked about was there is water everywhere."

Bachmann saw Melissa Etheridge"s cancer as a teachable moment: "Unfortunately she is now suffering from breast cancer, so keep her in your prayers", she said in November 2004. "This may be an opportunity for her now to be open to some spiritual things, now that she is suffering with that physical disease. She is a lesbian."

During a February trip to South Carolina, Bachmann told a South Carolina audience, "I think if we give Glenn Beck the numbers, he can solve this [the national debt]".

Whoa! Melissa Etheridge has cancer? WTF

Bachmann on the economy: "Literally, if we took away the minimum wage — if conceivably it was gone — we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level."

This is one of my favorites because it is those who pay below minimum wage who hire illegals and she is so against illegals, but she thinks offering a wage no one can afford to live off of as an acceptable solution.

I swear if they elect her I am leaving the country.

"Everything I needed to know, I learnt in Iowa".

Bachmann left Iowa before she graduated from High School, in 1974.  That's some dedication to ignorance.

Oh I hope someone throws this in her face when the "education" debates come up.  Of course this ignorant wench probably thinks education should stop in 7th or 8th grade.

I think Colbert riffed on that.  lemme check.

In any election, going by current polls, Bachmann would trail Obama by 14 points.

The only way she is on the winning ticket is as VP, with Romney.

Straight up, I would rather have another 4 of Obama.  And that is one of the saddest things I have every seen myself type....  I think I need to go strangle someone now.

This is what I see happening, but I don't see them winning.

Yeah, it's still not likely.

Just more likely than her winning as the Presidential candidate.  As are, indeed, a many great number of things.

She still wins even if she loses...look what losing did for Palin's profile and pocket. Her agenda is being pushed even further to centre stage in mainstream political debate. The opposition has to move further to the Right to meet them. Local officials get elected on National Platforms. They get a foot in the door of the Oval Office.

Both Palin and Bachmann are symptomatic of the creeping Radical Right focus of the GOP Their strategists have shown dogged determination to wring every last vote they can out of the lowest common denominator element in the electorate. Politics of fear and xenophobia. Religious extremism. Backward looking social attitudes. A dearth of ideas or policies of their own, but a plethora of issues they "oppose" and a raft of slogans and catch phrases.Rabble rousing amid misspelled racial slurs on hand written signs at Tea Party Rallies. They've proved adept at fomenting hatred and distrust. Dividing the community neatly along racial and religious lines. These strategies are the hallmark of Fascist regimes throughout history when on the rise.

Palin didn't win and Bachmann won't. But one day soon, as economic times worsen yet again, someone just like them only a lot smarter may well do so. The bourgeoisie move to the right in times of economic hardship..They find it hard to resist the appeal to the security imagined in retreating to a mythical "better" past. Look at the fall of the Weimar Republic...or the rise of Pinochet.

And someone as radically right wing as Bachmann...with a brain....Now that's a motherfucker of a scary thought.

(And your spell check wants to make Bachmann into Eichmann...prophetic or what?)

I'd vote for a Palin/Bachmann ticket.

Not because I think they would be good in the executive off but because I think if civilization is going to crash it should also burn while doing so.

Problem is those stupid bitches wouldn't let the worst of it burn, just the poorest.
