In the spirit of Christmas, O’Donnell gave Bachmann exactly what she has always wanted: a Gaydar Gun. The talk show host announced that she sent the gift during her show, which airs on OWN Network.
There’s a part of me that says, ignore the birthers. There’s a part of me that says, slap the birthers. There’s a part of me that says, imprison the birthers. The part of me that prevails is the part of me that says, like sexual offenders forced to register in a national sex offender registry, birthers should be highlighted front and center as a danger to society and a danger to President Obama.
Newt Gingrich appears to be the latest American Idol B-roll infatuation among the Republican party, and he’s certainly proven his ignorance of history and made some phenomenally insane comments. But when it comes to pure, unadulterated crazy it is Michelle Bachmann who takes not only the cake, but the entire bakery.
I watched Mitt Romney offer a bet of $10,000 that he wasn’t out of touch with the common man, while the Republican crowd cheered the idea of child labor, and I reflected for about the thousandth time that the GOP debates were probably the best thing Obama could have hoped for, for the 2012 campaign.
In my youth, the conservative wing of the Republican party was dominated by the likes of Everett Dirksen, Barry Goldwater, Richard Viguerie and Ronald Reagan. There are two indisputable facts about these four men: One, that they were all proud conservatives during their time, and two, by today’s standards, not one of them would be recognized as conservative enough to satisfy the Tea Party.
During an appearance at an education forum at the University of Northern Iowa, Bachmann talked about how she wants public schools to start including creationism and intelligent design on the curriculum and claimed that not doing so is censorship.
Michele Bachmann, the woman running for the most powerful office in the world, told Sean Hannity’s radio audience that girls should be submissive and wait for the boys to call.
A little boy named Elijah had something he wanted to say to Presidential candidate and staunch social conservative, Rep. Michele Bachmann. ‘…Miss Bachmann, my mommy’s gay but she doesn’t need fixing.’
Occasional human being and pretend presidential candidate Michele Bachmann took a swipe at Occupy Wall Street movement Sunday, saying that the movement is far less likely to gain traction with Americans than the Tea Party.
Last month, Newt Gingrich advocated putting our children to work as school janitors. Just in case you thought someone slipped something into his Wheaties that morning, Gingrich doubled down on his statement, calling poor children ‘lazy,’ saying they have no work ethic.
On Wednesday during a town hall event in Iowa at the Waverly Pizza Ranch, Bachmann was questioned by an attendee named Jane Schmidt. Schmidt, the president of Waverly High School Gay Straight Alliance, asked Bachmann why gay couples can’t marry. Bachmann claimed that same sex couples have no right to wed, and that gay people can marry as long as it is to a person of the opposite sex.
Yesterday Glenn Beck went on The O’Reilly Factor, to explain why he supports and will vote for (but doesn’t officially endorse) Michele Bachmann.
This is by far the worst Republican lineup I have ever seen. I say this not because I think they are bad people…just stupid people.
It takes a special kind of woman to trump Sarah Palin in dumb quotes, and Michele Bachmann is that woman. And to make matters more frightening, Bachmann’s actually pinky-swear serious about running for President.
Sarah Palin has publicly stated that she will not run for President in 2012, but some are saying ‘never say never.’ A group who calls themselves Conservatives4Palin is attempting to draft the former 1/2 term Governor of Alaska into the Presidential fray.
The Republican Party resides in a world (1800s maybe?) where it’s socially acceptable and perfectly okay to implement child labor policies for the nation’s poor schoolchildren, but apparently taboo when it comes to compassion for children of immigrants.
Many of us can give thanks for the things we have in our lives, none of which we can take for granted – jobs (for those who have them), having a place to live, a decent meal, a car to drive, heat, running water, electricity, for a supportive and nurturing family or group of friends. But when my bleeding heart pauses in giving thanks for my own better fortune, I remember all the people in this country who don’t have all those things – who, in fact, may have none of those things.
While speaking with Bob Vander Plaats, Head of the Family Leader, a noted anti-gay, anti-choice group, Michele Bachmann’s Iowa campaign Co-Chair, Tamara Scott, spoke out on the ‘red herrings’ of same sex marriage.
Bachmann, it seems, has freed herself from the chains of facts. In a recent town hall meeting in Webster City, Iowa, she told the audience three anecdotes, all of which are pretty easily discredited.
Meet Dr. George Grant. He is an evangelical educator and a Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) pastor from Texas. He reportedly supports executing homosexuals and he has also publicly endorsed Michele Bachmann for President.
