Michele Bachmann's Holy WarThe Tea Party contender may seem like a goofball, but be warned: Her presidential campaign is no laughing matter

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and, as you consider the career and future presidential prospects of an incredible American phenomenon named Michele Bachmann, do one more thing. Don't laugh.

It may be the hardest thing you ever do, for Michele Bachmann is almost certainly the funniest thing that has ever happened to American presidential politics. Fans of obscure 1970s television may remember a short-lived children's show called Far Out Space Nuts, in which a pair of dimwitted NASA repairmen, one of whom is played by Bob (Gilligan) Denver, accidentally send themselves into space by pressing "launch" instead of "lunch" inside a capsule they were fixing at Cape Canaveral. This plot device roughly approximates the political and cultural mechanism that is sending Michele Bachmann hurtling in the direction of the Oval Office.

Bachmann is a religious zealot whose brain is a raging electrical storm of divine visions and paranoid delusions. She believes that the Chinese are plotting to replace the dollar bill, that light bulbs are killing our dogs and cats, and that God personally chose her to become both an IRS attorney who would spend years hounding taxpayers and a raging anti-tax Tea Party crusader against big government. She kicked off her unofficial presidential campaign in New Hampshire, by mistakenly declaring it the birthplace of the American Revolution. "It's your state that fired the shot that was heard around the world!" she gushed. "You are the state of Lexington and Concord, you started the battle for liberty right here in your backyard."




further down:

Regent was unabashed in its desire that its graduates enter government and become "change agents" who would help bring the law more in line with "eternal principles of justice," i.e., biblical morality. To that end, Bachmann was mentored by a crackpot Christian extremist professor named John Eidsmoe, a frequent contributor to John Birch Society publications who once opined that he could imagine Jesus carrying an M16 and who spent considerable space in one of his books musing about the feasibility of criminalizing blasphemy.

Anybody want to make a wager on if Mark Taibbi is a Left Wing Liberal who highly endorsed that scumbag we have in office now. I'll bet he is.
Too bad Bachman isn't black because bozo's like this wouldn't have the balls to say anything bad about a black woman.

This woman is scary. Takes direct orders from God.

I still get a laugh out of her making up the stuff about Obama's trip to India and how quick those enlightened conservatives were to believe every word she said.

Hopefully the right can find a better candidate than this, the American people deserve that much.

Right winger and proud as hell to admit it. Just how's that Liberalism crap working out for this country "again".
I only hate all the trash that thinks it's my job to go to work everyday to support them. Those are your people.
I volunteer at the homeless center and a good portion of my check goes is donated to good causes. I'm thinking you, like almost all liberals, do no charity work and want the government to give my money so to others so that you don't have to reach into your own pocket.

politics in general isnt working out for this country. Obama has been no better or worse than Bush, really.

Career criminals... sorry meant career politicians.. are helping to bring us down. Don't actually care about the people they are supposed to serve, just care about the next election and padding their pockets.

I'm very fiscally conservative (libertarian), and the republicans are so far off from being conservative they shouldnt even use the name.

What we need is to fire every one of them, create a strong 3rd party so there is some sort of balance, and find politicians who actually care about the future of this country. term limits are a must.

I love folks who project attributes to others based solely on political beliefs, you volunteer at a homeless shelter and give to charity....those are good attributes and I admire that but yet you are so narrow minded that you seem unable to conceive that folks with a different opinion might not be less. That is my argument with Bachmann and others on the far right...I'm not calling her stupid, just narrow minded and all to willing to deny equal rights to folks different from her. To me, so-called liberals are little different from main stream conservatives, I would have been just as comfortable voting for Condy Rice as Obama had she run. This country is governed from the middle, and I see little chance of that changing....I disagree with many of Obama's politics, just see little reason to spew hate-filled names his direction. One question I have to ask you though....if you see poor folks as "trash", how can you work at a homeless shelter? And, why give money to "good causes" if you feel the way you say? (OK, two questions). Seems like you may be posting more out of frustration than deep rooted conviction.

Whose kool aid am I drinking? I'm not defending anyone.

But your contributions to this room have been stupid at best. You and Joey and dino can have your little circle jerk and have the same conversation over and over again. It's not going to change anything.

[Dahoss]

Question for the circle jerk boys....are you at all concerned with a candidate that says they recieve their instructions on how to live life directly from god?

When answering, please stick to topic and let's see if you can do it without mentioning Obama.

Same conversation over and over again? Sounds like an Obama press conference - or the nightly news coverage thereof - take your pick.

The first symptom is that liberal cannot understand math. Constantly spending more than you take in is OK with them.

[Dahoss]

and dumbest.

Dems got what they wanted in the White House and it isn't working. Repubs made the fuc<king mess yet insist that when they are in charge things will be better. Both Parties are RAPING you People but they have you where they want you fighting with each other...

Agreed. I'm a Republican but admit that Bush did a horrible job. O is even worse which is tough to do. Funny how libs refuse to admit what a horrible job he is doing. 2 years from now we'll have the worst president in my lifetime running against a bunch of bozo's. We all lose.
