Michelle Bachman isn't bright

[AllentownJake]

She's in a close congressional race and she just outed herself as a fruitcake basically saying she wants to reinstate HUAC. She just handed her challenger an issue and a but load of cash when her hardball appearence goes viral. She wasn't on anyones radar nationally till that appearence.

My assclown of a Repuke congressman at least has the common sense to run from his party right now.

2. who invited her?

[Cali_Democrat]

3. She has said some pretty nasty stuff before

A few weeks ago she blamed minorities for the US economic collapse.

She is batshit crazy.

[Matariki]

4. I'm SO glad she's in a close race. She needs to LOSE in a serious way.

I want to donate to whoever is running against her.

[tomnjoy]

5. Her opponent is El Tinklenberg

You can donate here:

It's a very close race. She might have just shot herself in the foot with this appearance! Ha!

[Matariki]

11. Thanks. Donated to his campaign. Hope that sends a message.

Also looking for Matthew's msnbc email to praise how he drew her out and how it led to a slew of donations for her opponent. That should be news.

7. nevermind. found it.

El Tinklenberg, of Blaine, MN. A guy with a name like that needs all the help he can get...

[vanderBeth]

16. What?! Really?

The fist thing I thought when I saw "Elwyn Tinklenberg" was I loved that name!

[rucky]

21. Don't listen to me

I'm apparently the antichrist for thinking that Married With Children was a crappy show.

[Sidney J Mussburger]

27. Haha, i never really liked that show

Tinkleburg? I'm sorry, but you're right. That's a very unfortunate name. Prediction - Tinkleburg wins by 8 points. Woo!

[peaches2003]

8. I was just about to post about her when I calmed down!

What an unbelievable fascist bitch! Chris just led her on and let her incriminate herself answering his questions. Insinuated Obama is a terrorist himself and wants all the liberals in Congress "investigated". Practically called them all traitors and un-American. She was as close to Joe McCarthy as I have seen or heard and I remember him well.

I didn't think anyone could be worse than Palin, but this one is. Try to watch the rerun of Hardball if you missed her!

[Higher Standard]

9. Mentally unhinged?

Seriously, it's been a long time since I've heard an elected official talk such garbage publicly like that. I thought I was watching the reincarnation of Joe McCarthy. I do get the impression that she realized she was digging herself into a hole, from the forced smile and deer-in-the-headlights expression, but she just couldn't help herself from continuing to dig, dig, dig. Hopefully she just managed to dig her political grave.

[peaches2003]

10. Glad you mentioned ole' Joe, too

I thought maybe I was overreacting. We posted at the same minute.

[yellowdogintexas]

13. I just caught that rerun a bit ago, in between GOTV phone calls. That woman is

a danger to democracy, which is why I sent a little money to her challenger

I am really impressed with the way Chris Matthews has taken this whole guilt by association /terrorist/unamerican bull by the horns and NOT LET GO. Isn't this about the 5th or 6th day in a row he has devoted most of the show to this issue?

[jonnyblitz]

14. she reminds me of the late Helen Chenowith , congressperson

from Idaho during the Gringrich era in the 90's. she was that whacky,very militia of montana-esque.

[spanone]

12. no but she's dangerous

[theothersnippywshrub]

15. She is a never been wiped asshole. Just gave to Tinklenberg. n/t

[polichick]

17. What the heck has happened to Minnesota?? I always think of it as much more progressive...

...but admit only spending time in Minneapolis and burbs.

[lutefisk]

19. Methylmercury Contamination

They've been eating too many methylmercury contaminated fish out of those ten thousand lakes. Bad move.

I just hope they have enough of their minds intact to elect Franken.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

26. We have our snowbillies, too

Bachmann's district is classic exurb/semi-rural. Lotsa fundymentalpatients and wannabe cowboys. My cousin, who is as Dem as it gets, told me that there was a massive turnout for Obama in the caucuses in CD-6 this year. Tinklenberg is a sound, sane middle of the road Dem, and is gonna get a big shot in the arm from all of this. Thank the FSM that my Congressman is Keith Ellison.

[lutefisk]

18. She's a brunette Ann Coulter. With a dash of Katherine Harris....n/t

[Swede]

20. You could almost hear jackboots as she talked of investigating Un-Americans.

[renie408]

22. It was the vapid smile that she kept plastered to her face the whole time she was saying

'anti-American' that freaked me out. Who votes for something like that?

[LooseWilly]

23. I think she's genuinely delusional.

Watching her, she seemed to think that people left of Pat Buchanan are nutty fruitcakes that "reasonable" people are on the lookout for...
She must travel and exist in some crazy right wing circles....

[Raine]

24. Tweety "bear trapped" her

:rofl: she was so stupid she exposed her true self. :silly:

[bluedawg12]

25. Didn't she blame "minorities" for the economic meltdown

on the House floor a few weeks ago?

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

28. Yep, and she said Jeebus wanted her to run for Congress

to boot, two years ago. Thinks that there should be no minimum wage and that slavery gets a bad rap. Batshit fucking insane.

[bluedawg12]

29. She is looking for her 15 minutes of rw fame

where do they find these loonies? Oh wait! They are these loonies.
