Rep. Michele Bachmann to protesters: 'Scare' Congress

[Faygo Kid]

Source: Politico

In a conference call Wednesday night with bloggers and activists for the advocacy group Americans for Prosperity, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) called on protesters to “scare” members of Congress into killing the proposed health care reform bill.

If the protesters succeed in scaring lawmakers, Bachmann said that it could cripple efforts to restructure health care for a decade.

“Nothing scares members of Congress more than freedom-loving Americans,” Bachmann said.

She said that members were frightened by the August town hall meetings, but “then they came back to Washington, and they got back in the bubble and Speaker Pelosi put the hammer down on the Democrats.”. . .

She's nuts. Simply nuts. Inspiring Ann Coulter to one-up her, and even tired ol' (boring and predictable) Ann can't achieve that.

1. Will someone punish her already?

[Arkana]

2. Yeah, I'm sure that elected officials will be terrified of the Rascal Brigade.

I suppose they could hit some of them over the head with their hilariously misspelled signs.

[SoCalNative]

4. They might be scared

of all the porta potties :rofl:

[Arkana]

5. I'm terrified of porta potties.

The smell...God, it's like Revelations.

[SoCalNative]

3. This nutcase really needs to be run down by an out of control snow plow

eom

[FiveGoodMen]

32. Now I need a cigarette

What a lovely image!

[tblue]

6. I get it! Trick or treating!!! They think it's still Halloween.

Psst. Let's not disabuse them of this notion.

7. What a worthless, piece of shit, sorry excuse for a human being this woman is.

Ape shit crazy. She should be under constant medical supervision in a mental health facility, not making decisions that affect our lives.

[lumpy]

28. She really isn't crazy. She prostitutes herself for the political

far right big business/big buck religioso capitalists. Quite lucrative, you know. The people who are crazy are the ones who vote for political prostitutes which there are far too many.

8. On another post today

her chief-of-staff is quiting.

[Libertas1776]

9. Scare Congress?!!

Hell, she's giving Freddy Krueger nightmares!

[AlbertCat]

11. Beat me to it.

I was gonna say if SHE hasn't scared Congress to death by now, what will? I'm sure her constituents are scared as hell.

[Mz Pip]

12. Yes, wear masks

and dress in Halloween costumes. That should work.

Maybe come to a session of the house or Senate naked - just to show them how free you really can be. That should scare them. Nekkid teabaggers.

Gives me nightmares.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

10. someone should lock her up

[Zambero]

13. Moderate Republicans should turn the tables, and

start running a few 3rd party candidates of their own. What better place to start than with this nitwit. As was the case in NY-23, comparitively few moderates that choose not to vote for a wingnut can translate to a victory margin for the Democratic candidate. So what are they waiting for?

[BluDemocratGirl]

14. I would LOVE to scare this crazy heifer.....

with an Alan Grayson mask! LOL

[JDPriestly]

15. Congress needs to get a very good bill passed right away.

The inability of Congress to get a good bill that will lower people's insurance costs through quickly is fueling all these protests. We fear what we don't understand and don't know. Once a good bill has been enacted and signed, people will be able to read it and a lot of the fear and anger will dissipate.

[Fearless]

16. Should send them their healthcare bills.

[HughBeaumont]

17. Teh Jesus Eyes! Fear Teh Jesus Eyes!!

Whaaaaaaaaaaack-jawb.

18. Bachmann wants the attention

Sarah Palin gets. Palin was able to draw large crowds so Bachmann is determined to do the same. Sarah Palin is getting too much attention with her candidate endorsements and talk of appearing on Oprah so here comes Michele with her scare members of Congress tactic. They only care about themselves and the spotlight. Jealous and vindictive on both parts. If anything goes wrong MB would swear she wasn't trying to incite violence. Nope, just a friendly wake up call to members of Congress.


:evilfrown:

[mwb970]

19. If she wants to be Palin so bad, why doesn't she quit her job?

Now that would be something to celebrate!

[euphoria12leo]

20. I would send her a bottle of champagne

and a thank you note to help her celebrate!! :toast:


:bounce:

[krabigirl]

21. Um, I'd be scared if I had to look and listen to her. Plastic nutcase.

[meow2u3]

22. Will someone get these Teabag Terrorists locked up already?

She is actually inciting acts of terrorism. Isn't it an act of terrorism to use violence or the threat of violence to intimidate the government to do the bidding of the teabaggers?

edit: spelling correction in subject line

[Jennicut]

23. One look at crazy Michelle Bachmann is enough to scare anyone.

[struggle4progress]

24. A big swarm of "I'm angry but I don't know why" should make her popular with other folk on the Hill!

25. Protesters of Health Care Reform Chant ‘Kill the Bill’ (NYT)

... It’s a generally older crowd, many in their 50s and 60s, predominantly, white, and many self-identified as Christians. They are fiercely conservative and deeply skeptical of the government, many of them deeply opposed to abortion rights ...

29. A friend friend from DC just called me to say "there are tons of people roaming the capital.'

My friend said these people are going into the offices of EVERYONE. I hope the police are controlling things over there.

27. Capitol Hill Tea Party Seeks To 'Drive The Liberals Crazy' With Pledge Of Allegiance (TPM)

Eric Kleefeld | November 5, 2009, 12:30PM

At the Capitol Hill Tea Party just now, Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) stepped up to lead the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance -- which he said drives the liberals crazy ...

Other Republican members of Congress were on stage, too: Minority Leader John Boehner (OH), Minority Whip Eric Cantor (VA), Roy Blunt (MO), Jeb Hensarling (TX), Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA), Michele Bachmann (MN) -- who was a key organizer of the event -- Virginia Foxx (NC), Ginny Brown-Waite (FL), Jean Schmidt (OH), Sue Myrick (NC), and many more.

30. This is why nothing they do accomplishes anything--because they think

that things like the Pledge "drives liberals crazy".

[Buns_of_Fire]

31. It seems that every time she opens her mouth, she pushes the envelope a little further.

Congresscritters don't like to be threatened. It makes Boner cry.

[mstinamotorcity]

33. Do those buzzards

know any name besides Nancy Pelosi. If it isn't Michele Bachmann, its Rush,Morning Joe, or Crying ass Glen.They blame everything on Nancy Pelosi. I guess when it snows its Nancy Pelosi's fault. If its a bad economy, its Nancy Pelosi's fault. There are two wars, its Nancy Pelosi's fault. Scare congress Michele, naw we were already scared when the previous administration was in charge. Didn't we settle this s--t on November 4, 2008. Would you please crawl your ass under a rock and stay there. And take that squirrel looking broad Virginia Foxx with you.
