Michele Bachmann
gregladen | March 26, 2010That is the message being clearly repeated by defeated Tea Party activists, and it is not all words.
Some time over the last couple of days, Tea Party activist Harry Weisiger, of Nashville Tennessee apparently tried to kill an adult male and a ten year old girl because they were driving in a car with an Obama/Biden bumper sticker. (source) Is this the follow up on the threats encouraged by Michele Bachmann last fall, which led violent-tending morons like my close personal friend Josh the Tea Bagger to show up at Obama rallies "armed and dangerous" (see this)?
There are so many ironies…
gregladen | March 24, 2010Tea Party activists have gathered on Capitol Hill today for a "Code Red" rally against health care reform. .... The gathering was organized by Tea Party Profiteer organizations ... ThinkProgress .... spotted a sign threatening violence if health care passes. The sign reads: "Warning: If Brown can't stop it, a Browning can," referring to Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) and a Browning ...

So what does this mean? If I know someone is in the Tea Party and I know they know I supported health care reform, should I kill them preemptively? Seriously. I live several hundred meters from Michele…
gregladen | March 15, 2010The most unpatriotic woman in America, Michele Bachmann, is starting to get all loud and obnoxious again (she goes in cycles, like red tide and bad influenza years). Now she is saying that if a health care bill is passed under certain procedures that she happens to not like, it should be ignored, and American Citizens should not pay their taxes.
In the following video, skip forward to about 19 minutes and listen for about two minutes or so to get the gist. Also, see this writeup.

Hey, next time maybe you'll win the gold!
gregladen | November 18, 2009You probably heard about Michele Bachmann's "Whites of their eyes" event last week, where she urged reporters to arrive en masse at the US Capitol, to swarm the halls and glare at their congresspersons in the eyes until the blinked. Or voted against health care insurance reform. Or something.
The rally, which consisted of Bachmann and a number of other wingnuts displaying absurd theatrics and civic stupidity was technically called a press conference, and apparently members of congress can do that ... they can simply go out to the public space and have even rather elaborate press…
gregladen | November 15, 2009A controversial ministry that says it preaches Christian doctrine in public schools held a fundraiser in Bloomington Thursday night, drawing a crowd of about 400. At its "Appeal to Heaven" fundraiser, You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International offered attendees a preview of its new documentary, a greeting by Rep. Michele Bachmann and a fiery sermon by founder Bradlee Dean, who called liberals "criminals" and urged attendees to fight a "war" for the faith against liberals.
The almost exclusively white crowd had assembled at the Sheraton ballroom in Bloomington to raise funds for the…
gregladen | November 15, 2009From Mn Progressive:
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) may have gotten herself into even more ethical trouble. In her efforts to promote her healthcare protest that occurred last week, she used her official House website to promote it.
Check out the details.
gregladen | November 7, 2009Michel Bachmann has absolutely no sense of proportion in her personal statements (as a member of congress) or in what she encourages or allows happening around her. She is also an extraordinarily dishonest person. That first bit ... lack of sense of proportion (or shame) is well addressed in the following appeal from Representative Israel. The second will be clear if Bachmann or her associates at Fox respond to this video.
gregladen | November 6, 2009She wants to spill the blood of liberals. I think she should be locked up.

gregladen | November 4, 2009This is mostly about Doug Hoffman, Glen Beck and the Teabaggers. She gets to Bachmann at 4:25.
Rachel, I pledge my sacred honor to you! I do! I do! I'm talkin' about you, Rachel!
gregladen | October 28, 2009Reporters and bloggers rightfully enjoy feeding off of Michel Bachmann's frequent outrageous remarks, but few have made note of the real problem she poses for the people living in her district.
The word needs to get out in Michele Bachmann's congressional district that she is screwing the people she supposedly represents. Her stated philosophy is to do as little as possible in congress, and she does not believe in the use of Federal Money for ... things. So it should not be a surprise to her constituents that she has been personally responsible for almost no positive action that has helped…
gregladen | October 4, 2009Rep. Michele Bachmann will be headlining a fundraiser in November for controversial ministry You Can Run But You Cannot Hide (YCRBYCH).
Based in Annandale, Minn., the group has made a name for itself as an anti-drug Christian punk rock band that organizes motivational student assemblies to bring Christ to public schools. But over the last several years, parents and school administrators have complained that the ministry misrepresents itself, claiming that the group is not transparent about its Christian mission.

This is actually a fairly common problem in public schools. Groups…

gregladen | September 16, 2009A man from Rogers, Minnesota...a small town in the Sixth Congressional District represented by Michele Bachmann...went through the trouble of strapping on his Glock .40 caliber handgun and dropping his Kel Tec 380 in his pocket before visiting the site of President Obama's talk last Saturday in Minneapolis. His name is Josh Hendrickson and both handguns were loaded.
He went to the speech to stand outside and show off his cammo and his guns. The press took note and had a chat with him. Hendrickson told them, "I'm a pretty laid-back guy that loves his kids and his country."
Hendrickson was…

gregladen | September 15, 2009If you were in the Twin Cities last Saturday and wanted to do something political, you had two choices. Tool over to St. Cloud and visit Michele Bachmann's Town Hall meeting, which she rudely scheduled on the same day as a visit to Minneapolis by President Obama. Or, you could go to see President Obama.
Rep. Michele Bachmann was in St. Cloud on Saturday for a town hall meeting. Apparently quite a few people in her district just don't care about her anymore. Her event at the St. Cloud Technical High School was attended by only 60 people!
In contrast, 18,000 people were at the Target Center…
gregladen | September 13, 2009Geraldo is asking Michele Bachmann to take her hyperbole down a notch. That's funny. Huckabee blames Obama for Wilson's Remarks. Anne Coulter claims that Michele Bachmann is her fave.

Oh, and confirmed: Wilson's outburst WAS an act of racism.
