Bachmann Should Apologize
Aug 29th, 2011
Billions of dollars in damage from hurricane Irene and a death toll now standing at 37 were apparently fodder for a little Dominionist humor over the weekend. Yup. Rep Michele Bachmann (R-MN) joked that it was God's wrath because of liberal spending.

Or, you call her Washington D.C. office at (202) 225-2331
Or, you call her Minnesota offices at 651-731-5400 and 320-253-5931

Personally, I think you should choose all of the above as your option
Unless, of course, you think scenes like these are funny.

Dominionist Watch - Bachmann's Humor Edition
Aug 29th, 2011
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.
