"Let me suggest you take some tips from your fellow Minnesota congressional delegate, Rep. Michelle Bachmann," Cox said ironically. "She knows how to do this. Just say things like 'we have to slit our wrists, be blood brothers to defeat health care,' or that 'I will not seek higher office if God is not calling me to do it.'".............

Bachmann: No Government Control Over My Body!
Eric Kleefeld | August 20, 2009, 5:18PM
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), who is a a staunch champion of the religious right and an opponent of President Obama on all things under the sun, has a new line against the Democrats on health care: Keep the government off my body!................

loons are some of my favorite birds

i don't like them being my congressional representation (she isn't but i'm just sayin'.............)

i t hought the war was over

NO, not afghanistan (although it looks dreadful there now and for the future) and NO, not iraq (which i'm not going to talk about further in this posting).

the war i am referring to is THE CIVIL WAR. are 'these people' (and by 'these people' i mean the sarevils of the world. the pfotenhaurers of the world. the bachmanns of the world) trying to drive a wedge between america? are they trying to start a rift? are they trying to pit one side against the other (i mean in a VIOLENT way)? it seems the answer is most obviously YES and that to me sounds like a crime. we let mccarthy run rampant without stopping him. are we going to allow these mouth foamers to do the same thing to OUR (and i DO mean yours and mine) country? (psssssssttttttttttttttttttt it's ALL one country and i'm allowed to use free speech and have free will)

Olbermann: Divisive Politics is anti-
American
Nick Cargo and David Edwards
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann took time in his Monday "Special Comment" segment to point out an "orgy of condescending elitism" in recent tactics, "divisive, ugly, paranoid bleatings" of "Us vs. Them" by McCain surrogates, that he says do more to undermine America than anything they can accuse Senator Obama of doing.

Olbermann recalled writer Dick Young, "whose work, with ever-increasing frequency, became peppered with references to 'my America,' -- 'I can't believe this is happening in my America,' 'We do not tolerate these people in my America,' 'This man does not belong in my America.'"

"His America gradually revealed itself," he said: "Insular, isolationist, backwards-looking, mindlessly flag-waving, racist, no second chances, a million rules... but only for the other guy.

"Dick Young died in 1987 but he has been reborn in the presidential campaign as is has unfolded since last Thursday night. In that time, Governor Sarah Palin, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, McCain spokeswoman Nancy Pfotenhauer and Rush Limbaugh have revealed that there [are] measurable portions of this country that [are] not interested in that which the vast majority view as democracy or equality or opportunity--they want only control, and they want the rest of us, symbolically--perhaps physically--out."........

Palin Apologizes for 'Real America' Comments

Two Congressmen Face Backlash After Their Own Remarks Questioning Others' Patriotism

By Lyndsey Layton

Washington Post Staff Writer
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin apologized yesterday for implying that some parts of the country are more American than others, even as similar comments by two Republican congressmen were causing a backlash that threatened their chances for reelection.

In an interview on CNN, Palin said comments she made last week in North Carolina praising small towns as "the real America" and the "pro-America areas of this great nation" were not intended to suggest that other parts of the country are less patriotic or less American.

"If that's the way it has come across, I apologize," she told CNN's Drew Griffin..........

hey sarevil, i for one, DO NOT accept your apology! why? because i do NOT for one SECOND for one MILISECOND believe your sincerity. i think the ONLY reason you apologized is because you see what's happening to bachmann AND because mccain is MAKING you apologize. i truly believe if you had your way you would literally lock people like me up (sarevil THIS IS NOT CUBA BY THE WAY, IT'S AMERICA. i'm ALLOWED to believe differently than you are AND YOU'RE still allowed to be an american even though what YOU believe is mostly a load o' shite).

ah of course

it's the NEGROES that caused the crisis! we should have known! (that is sarcasm for those of you that didn't know)

Bachmann Blames President Clinton, ‘Blacks,’ And ‘Other Minorities’ For Current Financial Crisis»

Yesterday in a Senate hearing on the financial crisis, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) spoke on what caused the situation. To make her point, she read from an article called “How A Clinton-Era Rule Rewrite Made Subprime Crisis Inevitable,” written by Terry Jones in the right-wing publication Investor’s Business Daily.

The article criticizes the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) for pushing “Fannie and Freddie to aggressively lend to minority communities.” Jones goes on to say that Clinton was misguided to push “homeownership as a way to open the door for blacks and other minorities to enter the middle class.”

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) sharply criticized Bachmann and other conservatives who have been trying to pin the economic crisis on minorities:

I personally am not going to just sit by and let people trash programs that helped folks get into housing who have been struggling to get in......
