I swear, this year's motto really ought to be the phrase, "No, I am not making this up."
Speaking to a crowd of GOP loyalists and conservative activists in Florida this weekend, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) said this:
"I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending."
Her campaign spokesperson, Alice Stewart reportedly told TPM "Obviously she was saying it in jest."
Oh. Funny. Ha ha. It was a joke when you said that God caused widespread devastation and 30 deaths reported so far because He wants America to tax the rich even less and cut services to the poor even more. Got it.
It actually was a joke. A very ugly, nasty and not at all funny spectacle of a joke. A joke built on horror and pain and death. And her audience laughed... and laughed... and laughed. That's the GOP base. It's not just candidate Bachmann's judgment that is suspect.

Wow, is the crazed and dazed Bachmann now a reverend, she can take her place next to the other flakes like Jim Jones, Jim Baker, Jimmy Swaggart, (all silly jimmy’s), Ted Haggard, John Hagee, Oral Roberts, Jerry Falwell, Franklin Gramham (son of Billy), and we can’t forget the rev. Mike Huckabee. Maybe she is just channeling the fruity Pat Robertson. Isn't she suppose to be helping her husband in some "pray the gay away sessions" so he can get some of that evil "Federal Money", thats she is always railing about, hypocrite, both of them!
ReplyDeleteBut alas we probably will hear more or the same lies that we heard today. So who is the bigger fool, Bachmann or her followers?
If a sane person had made this remark, it would have been in poor taste. Bachmann believes, and meant, every word she said.
