Well I've got to give Michele Bachmann credit for being honest for once since we all know ClusterFox helped organize and promote these astroturf protests along with their buddies Dick Armey and Tim Phillips among others. It's just a bit unusual to hear one of them say it out loud.

Given the way these protests are shaping up I've got to wonder how much worse it's going to get before these members of Congress attending these rallies are censured.

Thanks to our good friends at Media Matters who are watching these clowns in much larger doses than I've got the stomach for.

1. Michelle Bachman is a Welfare Queen:
http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/michelle_bachman_welfare_queen_20091221/

Apparently some folks are just more deserving of a free ride than others. Not only does she take SUBSIDIES, she claims the right to determine who is deserving of our help and who isn't.

But data compiled from federal records by Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit watchdog that tracks the recipients of agricultural subsidies in the United States, shows that Bachmann has an inner Marxist that is perfectly at ease with profiting from taxpayer largesse. According to the organization’s records, Bachmann’s family farm received $251,973 in federal subsidies between 1995 and 2006. The farm had been managed by Bachmann’s recently deceased father-in-law and took in roughly $20,000 in 2006 and $28,000 in 2005, with the bulk of the subsidies going to dairy and corn. Both dairy and corn are heavily subsidized—or “socialized”—businesses in America (in 2005 alone, Washington spent $4.8 billion propping up corn prices) and are subject to strict government price controls. These subsidies are at the heart of America’s bizarre planned agricultural economy and as far away from Michele Bachmann’s free-market dream world as Cuba’s free medical system. If American farms such as hers were forced to compete in the global free market, they would collapse.
