Courtesy of Kare 11 in Minneapolis:
A New Jersey teenager says she's received threats since challenging U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann to a debate over the Constitution.
Ann Myers challenged the tea party favorite in a letter dated April 29. After it started getting media attention last weekend, commenters on tea party websites have threatened to publish her home address and some have threatened violence.
The 16-year-old from Cherry Hill says several commenters have called her a "whore."
Her father, Wayne, says he's concerned for his daughter's safety.
But Cherry Hill Police Lt. William Kushina says anonymous online threats like these are usually empty.
Myers says the Minnesota congresswoman misstates or distorts facts about the Constitution.
Bachmann's office told The Courier-Post of Cherry Hill that it won't respond to the debate challenge.
What in the hell is wrong with these people? This is a child for fuck's sake!
This is EXACTLY the same kind of blowback that anybody who dares speak out about Sarah Palin, or tell some carefully hidden truth about her, is subjected to as well.
Well I for one an sick and tired of the bullying and intimidation tactics used by these assholes!
And what are they so angry about? The fact that they KNOW this child would destroy their idol in a simple debate>
So rather than have to admit they are supporting an empty headed moron, they attack a little girl. Very impressive. And sadly enough, not at all unexpected.
Sea of Pee is after Bachmann too.
ReplyDeleteCourtesy of the great love machine know as MB supporters. These people are below contempt and yet they make up the majority of the MN sixth district and a lot of the rest of the once lovely and democratic leaning state. Let's hear it for the radical Christian right and their leaders, big business people who play on their fears and biases while the continue to steal these sheep blind
ReplyDeleteIt is very telling that the young people are willing to speak the truth about Palin/Bachmann et al, yet many in the MSM continue to cover their fluff, like real news.Our elected officials should have a basic knowledge of our history and constitution, if they are going to use these as their benchmark on everything.
ReplyDeleteI read this yesterday at mediaite.com. The comments were shocking. All these crazy comments ridiculing the girl and her parents, suggesting she should have kept her mouth shut. It was disgusting.
ReplyDeleteGryph, those good Christians will all be raptured and gone by the end of today, don't 'ya know?
ReplyDeleteThe Tea Party is full of very nasty people. The police department is so wrong for writing this threat off. If people are crazy enough to threaten they are crazy enough to go through with it. This is the kind of people who support Sarah. A bunch of people so dumb to threaten a sixteen year old. A bunch of trash. This young girl is smarter than the whole Tea Party.
ReplyDeleteIf you look at the tea party in general, and the females representing them in particular, they are nothing but a bunch of maturity and cognitively disabled school yard bullies. Palin, Bachmann, O'Donnel, etc.
ReplyDeleteIf this isn't stopped now, it will be our future.
Threatening children. How very bold and brave and patriotic of them.
ReplyDeleteNot at all unexpected, but very sad. But what to do? I certainly wouldn't want to expose *my* kid to danger if I was her parent. But on the other hand, these are the tactics these f**kwads use to silence us.
one word: UNCIVILIZED.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be so nice and so"Christian" of Batshit Bachmann to address this in public, in the media, in emails, etc. and tell her nut job followers to stop it? I can just hear her response a la Willie Wonka(the original), in very quiet, weak voice, "Stop. Don't."
ReplyDeleteAmazing that those who consider themselves to be such devout christians are so lacking in character and intelligence. Unfortunately those who would threaten a 16 year old for this won't be going anywhere during the big rapture roundup today.

So, what does Bachman say? Like Palin she does not call the hounds from hell off. Would they lose supporters if they took a stand that threats are uncivilized?
ReplyDeleteRE: See of Pee and MB. I think Saree has gone back on the offensive because MB has been getting traction. Be fun to watch the two square off in a rapture mud wrestling contest. Wonder if that's why Saree is changing her looks toward being an MB clone? If these people are as dumb as I think they are, she can knock of MB and then simply tell them MB came back in her body. Can't imagine what that might be like - egads
ReplyDeletePeople are violent. Liberals in wisconsin an violent cowards. old time racists mississippi are (understandably) set in their ways andstatus quo and refuse to admit change is inevitable. liberals in NY are idealistic suckers. People ignore the fact that Obama has no professional accomplishment prior to the election. People use personal bs to destroy candidates and ignore rumors and allegations on their own team.
ReplyDeleteHeck, this country was founded on genocide. If the founding fathers werent decent people, we'd be even more screwed.
It's a truly messed up world.
It just amazes me that the kind of assholes that would send anonymous threatening letters to children are the same ones who just KNOW that they are going to be all raptured this afternoon. These misanthropic troglodytes are certain the Jesus just loves them better than anybody else.
ReplyDeleteI can just see them as they are flyin' through the air, lookin' down on everybody left behind, flipping us off while yelling, "FUCK YOU LOSERS!"
Yeah, they're JUST like Jesus.
I am reminded of the old spiritual, "Everybody Talkin' 'Bout Heaven Ain't Goin' There."
I hope that another constitutional lawyer will debate this girl and let her show her stuff. The lawyer wouldn't do it to be beat, but rather to show the nation what she, this 16 year old who loves her subject, can do.
ReplyDeleteOMG SusieQ, I forgot today is the day! Oy vey. Think of all the giddy crazy people today. Sarah's coocoo for cocopuffs church are probably having having special services today. Handing snakes and speaking in tongues with Pastor Muthee. Weirdos.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe some of the fellow Americans we have in this nation. Instead of lauding the little gal for asking for the debate, they ridicule her?!!! She's probably smarter than the entire bunch of the naysayers put together.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes me sick is that the Teaparty group is in my age bracket and I'm embarrassed for them. They are idiots!!
I hate these "people."
ReplyDeleteIf Bachman had any sense of shame or decency, she would publically condem these attacks. If she did, it would probably garner her some more support. Unfortuantely she is to stupid to realize the latter and then, god forbid, something wefre to happen ala Gabby Giffords Bachman would make it all about herself. All these fucksticks need to be held accountable. If some wacked out preacher can put up bill boards all across the world, why can't we advertize the deciet, ignorance and lies of Palin, Bachman et al? Anyone have a hot line to; say George Soros??
ReplyDeletePopEater is reporting that Palin is speaking out about Ahnuld. "Such a bad example to set for his children"!!!! Please hurry and take this fraud down.
ReplyDeleteGasman, enjoyed your comment as usual (read LMAO). If only the poster right before you had 1/10 of your sense of humor it would be a better world.
ReplyDeleteThe young lady just needs to know that more people support her than not. I see a Gabby Giffords in the making and we all need to support her.
ReplyDeletePathetic.
ReplyDeleteEven more so that Bachmann has not spoken out against the threats the child has received.
Knowledge is power, that young lady should be proud of herself.
TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE!!! But truth be told, it really is silly that Miss Ann Myers had the rude notion the right to free speech it also hers.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing her name in the news for all the good works she is destined to deliver.
MB is not smart enough to call the morons out who are threatening this young woman. No different than the grifter, although at least she's not accusing the young woman of blood libel. Maybe she's not going to bother until the 22nd. Why spend the energy if she's going to get raptured today? Five hours and counting. Do we all go at exactly six or is that simply when it starts? How long will it take from there? I really should read up on this. I do know I'm heading down to the local evangelical church about five and scope out the cars in the parking lot. Then I want to be the first one in so I can clean wallets and find the keys to the black Lexus SUV I've seen there. Probably the ministers.
ReplyDeletewhat a great spot to introduce voters to michelle bachmann's supporters. make a political ad out of it. shine the spotlight on the threatening comments!
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe some of us can send words of encouragement to the student and her family, and others can also challenge MB to a debate to deflect from the Meyer family getting all of the threats. If hundreds or thousands of us did, it would be a grand solidarity movement on Ann's behalf.
ReplyDeleteBachmann can't condem these bullies. They are her base and she needs all the support she can get.

Thanks for posting. Wonderful News!!
La Palin is railing against Arnold's family values? That takes guts. Karma is a big fat angry bitch.
ReplyDeleteSooo....what time is the rapture supposed to start today?
ReplyDeleteRachel should invite this wonderful young lady on her show.
ReplyDeleteJust like Palin, Bachmann will not speak out against this. The racist baggers like to keep their followers confused, scared and angry.
ReplyDeleteThese folks are mental, I have the opinion that if Bachmann or Palin were to shoot a child and run over some Elderly they would say it was the fault of the victims. They are a threat to society as a whole. Tuscon is proof of that.
ReplyDeleteAnon 9:30 LMAO!! Put the crack pipe down. Your comment doesn't make a lick of sense.
ReplyDeleteHow about this scenario: instead of Bachmann, suppose this young lady had challenged President Obama to the same debate ? I bet he would invite her and her family to the White House, and gladly sit down with her in front of the media, and the debate would be something that would lighten your heart and bring tears to your eyes.
ReplyDelete9:30 - it would be nice if you were at least vaguely acquainted with the facts. To say that our President had no professional accomplishments is to admit that you are willfully ignorant just like Palin and Bachmann.
ReplyDeleteWhat does it take to convince you that a black man is "professionally successful.? You shame yourself.
President Obama had no significant accomplishments before becoming POTUS?
ReplyDeleteHow many of these things have you accomplished:
*successful community organizer
*editor of the Harvard Law Review
*graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School
*Illinois state legislator
*U.S. Senator
Better still, how many of these have leaders in the GOP like Boehner, Palin, or Bachmann accomplished?
Since the answer for you and them is none, I'll just chalk your animosity toward President Obama up to two things: jealousy and having your little world shaken to the core at knowing that there most definitely are very accomplished blacks in America. I know this because I, like President Obama, am one of them. The lesson to be learned by those like yourself is to not pay too much attention to the lies that are being told and pushed about people of color, gays, atheists, Muslims, Buddhists, and others. Reality is different than what you've been led to believe--we're not all godless monsters, ignorant, or perverts who want your body or want to corrupt your kids!
OT: http://malialitman.wordpress.com/2011/05/21/5-or-6-things-you-didnt-know-about-britta-hanson/
ReplyDeleteWell, of course it's no surprise that more will be known about this couple as time goes by. I found the most interesting of the original 5 things is that she was an "executive secretary" in the governor's office since age 18. I don't know about in Alaska, but around here those jobs pay big $ and require training, experience and are highly competitive, not given to 18-year-old HS grads.
So Sarah really was a typical politician, no different than all the others that practice cronyism and favoritism. Not very roguish. What does Sarah have to say about that? I say it's "disgusting".
Also from Malia's site:
ReplyDelete"most of us noticed that Britta was wearing a scarf in the close up picture which was Palin’s “secret” to disguising a pregnancy."
Dark colors help, too. I feel a "I would have become president if it wasn't for Track's pre-term baby" coming.
The parents are now admitting that they put the child up to this. This is just another case of children being used to fulfill the librul agenda of hate.
ReplyDeleteYou'll all be sorry when 6 p.m. comes and there are nobody left to complain about but libruls.
I'm a libertarian. Not a social conservative, not a republican, not a RINO, not in any way connected to the tea party. Now, do you guys realize you are basically the blue version of red douche bags? All you do is bitch and moan and accuse and point fingers and insult people that don't agree with you. Which is exactly what the republicans do. There is almost no difference between you people. when I say 'you people', I mean you blind liberals and the pigheaded conservatives you are constantly going on about. What exactly is it that makes your beliefs better? A grand delusion that you are the 'good guys' and the conservatives are the 'bad guys'? WTF is this, Disney politics? Come on guys, politics doesn't have to be full of hypocrisy if you don't want it to. No, I didn't get paid for this. No, I don't support Palin. So go ahead, I'm sure a bunch of people will insult me and call me a shill and all that happy stuff. Go ahead, it's exactly what the republicans do whenever somebody tries talking sense.

And raised more money than any other presidential campaign, for the first time ever w/o huge corporate donors, and managed a campaign with offices in all 50 states. And won by a first ever landslide margin; no courts and no recounts. That kind of organization is up there or surpasses anything any CEO of any company does. And he did this without the name recognition of Clinton or McCain.
9:31: "I hope that another constitutional lawyer will debate this girl and let her show her stuff. The lawyer wouldn't do it to be beat, but rather to show the nation what she, this 16 year old who loves her subject, can do."
ReplyDeleteOr, she might discover how much she has to learn, which would be a great gift to a 16-y-old if the person she debates is gracious and respectful.
Craig@11:40:
ReplyDeleteMy, you certainly are full of yourself. What, exactly, is so offensive to you about coming to the defense of a 16-year-old girl?
You did read the post, didn´t you?
craig, why are you here to insult people? Do you think you will change anyone's mind to your way of thinking by being insulting? Sugar works much better than piss when you want some bees, baby. When you piss all you get are flies. Now go back to where ever you came from (Ron Paul's website) and leave us ungodly, evil liberals to ourselves.
ReplyDeleteAnon 11:35 Another case of blaming the victim.

What exactly is it that makes your beliefs better? Don't answer that...I don't really care.
ReplyDeleteAll I had to do was copy and paste a couple of phrases, recognize yourself?
Hi Craig! You make good points!
ReplyDeleteI tend to be a Libertarian too. It would be nice if people could be nice. Unfortunately, the tea baggers carry guns and make rape threats, which isn't playing nice. I think people on this blog feel they can vent back, but at heart are the real "patriots", who love their country and don't threaten violence and death against fellow citizens or the president. Actually, many Conservatives aren't this way either. My sister is a Republican and teaches Sunday School, but she voted Democratic this last election, because of the ignorance displayed by her party being taken over by the extreme fundamentalists, holier than thou folks .. like Sarah Palin...and Michelle Bachman... etc...
Hi Craig - Do you ever see progressive type blogs where people put people in crosshair's or wish them dead? There is a big difference. IMO. They may want to hit you with a vegetable or tell you to jump in a lake, but wouldn't stalk you or your family.

ReplyDeleteComment BEFORE Gasman
Is that you Bristol Palin, Lou Sarah or Rebekka Mansewer?
Piss off, idiot!
Craig- As a Libertarian, you must value public debate. Why are the "conservatives" terrorizing this 16 year old girl for challenging Michelle Bachmann to a debate? Should people stand by and let this kind of thing happen in America?
ReplyDeleteI see we have a few uneducated people here that know not what they type, but hey it's okay cause I needed a good laugh and thanks for playing cause Gryphen set all the troll traps again.
ReplyDeleteCraig, wait a minute. Isn't this thread about a young girl being threaten? Gryphy must have touched a nerve.
ReplyDeleteObama and Lugar also sponsored a bill against nuclear proliferation, as a part of his membership in the Foreign Relations Committee, which doesn't get much press by the anti-Obama crowd. But apparently it was an important step toward keeping nuclear material out of the arms of terrorists.
ReplyDeleteHey, the guy was a Senator only for a couple of years. And if you compare his accomplishments with Kennedy's, prior to election to the Presidency, Kennedy actually accomplished nothing (his military record, however, was significant).

Since we liberals are not going to be raptured today, let's play pin the button on the trolls and keep on pushing their buttons until they screech and holler help.

9:30 AM
The viloent cowards are Tea Baggers who threaten little girls, stomp on people's heads, cut people's gas-lines, and show up to politcal rallies armed to the teeth! There was no liberal violence in Wisconsin. If there was, it would have been all over the news. The right-wing tried their best to find "liberal violence" in Wisconsin, but could only make up shit. Like that fake video of liberal violence in Wisconsin, with palm trees in the background.
Conservatives all over this country are suckers! Only 30 Tea Party clowns showed up at a rally in South Carolina. Losers.
Barack Obama has lots of professional accomplishments prior to the election. You refuse to acknowlege them. What accomplishments did $arah Palin have going into the election? She went to five, or six colleges, and happens to be a moron. She has so few professional accomplishments, she had to embelish her resume. Like the crap about her having foreign policy expirience, because she could see Russia from Alaska. How stupid. Now, she's a quitter!
As usual, conservative thugs, like you always justify violence. Just because this country was founded on genocide, doesn't make it right. Indians were here first, (I know you can't stand that) the "founders fathers" were unwelcome criminals, and they are DEAD now. Get over it! The country is already screwed because there are still so many conservative knuckle-draggers who continue to live in the past!
"People use personal bs to destroy candidates and ignore rumors and allegations on their own team."
Which is exaclty what you did, by going after President Obama, which was very predicatable. You right-wingers always attack the President, because you can't defend the losers on your side. Sad, really.
"It's a truly messed up world."
You should know. Your kind created it.
If Bachmann were any kind of a woman, let alone a mother, she would be condemning these tactics. No wonder the US is fast becoming the laughing stock of the world. Uncivilized, racist people seem to abound. My British niece is shocked at what passes for "political debate" on Fox. Absolutely disgusting. The party of "family values and personal responsibility" does not seem to have a clear understanding of what those words mean.
ReplyDeleteBlahhh ha ha ha 11:35 is Drinking the koolaid! Jesus was a Liberal,you Idiot...he feed the hungry and healed the sick at NO CHARGE... Another Lost soul..
ReplyDeleteInteresting article written by Malia on the left of IM.
ReplyDeleteThe Bachmannbots are every bit as retarded as the Palinbots are. They are all a bunch of ignorant, violent, and regressive folks without even one-tenth of this girl's class or intelligence. They need to be sitting in jail for making threats to her, and they already looked bad even before this incident.
ReplyDelete"The parents are now admitting that they put the child up to this. This is just another case of children being used to fulfill the librul agenda of hate.
ReplyDeleteYou'll all be sorry when 6 p.m. comes and there are nobody left to complain about but libruls."

"Oh, how DARE anyone ask to debate a politician!!! How dare you ask a politican questions! The horror! The horror! It's libruls and their hateful agenda against, greedy, rich, white supremicists!"
Michelle Bachmann, and conservatives are just pissed because the girl would have kicked her ass in a debate, and exposed the fraud. That's why they are really mad.
Comparing the way $arah Palin has used her children to help push the hateful right-wing agenda (against the elderly, the poor, gays, minorities, immigrants, women, Muslims etc.--- You call US hateful? Please.) by having them "write" books, become a "spokesperson" for the Candies Foundation, appear on cheap t.v. shows, and appear on numerous magazine covers, and the way $arah Palin used to drag Trig Palin around like a sack of potatoes, these people don't even come close to $arah Palin's expolitation of her children. Conservatives are blind hypocrites.
There is no raputure coming at 6:00PM, so please shut up.

ReplyDelete11:40 AM
Funny you should say that, condering a lot of people (including myself) don't see any difference between Libertarians republicans, and the Tea party. The fact that you had to throw this in:
"I'm a libertarian. Not a social conservative, not a republican, not a RINO, not in any way connected to the tea party."
Proves my point. You sound very similar to a republican. People of all stripes bitch and moan, and point fingers at each. People do that in the privacy of their own homes. It needs no party affiliation. It's a human trait. But, liberal democrats, and conservative republicans couldn't be more different policy-wise.
I wish Libertarians would stop pretending they are above the fray, and better than everyone else, because your're not. Please get off your high-horse. Most Americans also diagree with Libertarian views, because for the most part, they are considered extreme, and out of the mainstream. Which is why Ron Paul in un-electable, and will have another failed presidential campaign.
There.
On the other hand, I wonder if you are really one those trolls who has come here to pretend to be "neutral" in order to to defend right-wing thuggery.
I am pretty sure this young lady and her parents will be reading your blog. So, my message to them is be careful, but don't let them shut you up. Whenever idiots and bullies complain or threaten it means you are doing something right. Your message got out and they have no rebuttal to their candidate who is an idiot being challenged by a high school student on the Constitution. Bullies know they are incompetent that is why they seek to make incomptence the norm. They are threatened by those who have knowledge and competence, but don't have the skills to go toe to toe so they threaten and intimidate. All of your positive traits make them hate you because you are what they can never be. They seek to destroy your soul and leave you a shell of your former self. Rather than become quiet, speak louder. The reason they don't have the information and skills you do is they have another agenda than the one they are supposed to be doing. Rather than design laws for the majority they are pushing their religion which Bachman would know, if she understood the Constitution, is un-American. These people are cowards and our country seems to have a lot of them these days. Having courage as I have found out is a valuable strength because you keep going even when you are afraid.
ReplyDeleteI agree. What is wrong with these people? Bachmann could write her a nice note, gently refusing, but encouraging her. That would end it. Instead, MB chooses to be a Koch automaton, lurching awkwardly in her role as tea-party movement diva.
ReplyDeleteAre these TP threats coming from the same types that would kill someone to save a fetus? Yes. Racist, religious extremists who no doubt are a bit afraid of what this young girl would do to their candidate- show her for the fool she is.
ReplyDeleteGuess David lettermans joke doesnt sound so bad. Why isn't palin talking out against the violence toward this young lady and why isn't Michelle bachman?
ReplyDeleteAnd these were real threats not like the ones Sarah palin made up about people raping her daughters.
ReplyDeleteThey all are empty-headed and you betcha' that they're Sovereigns. you know they're above man's law and only follow God's law. None of them pay taxes, believe that they can kill police and judges or anyone that they want to kill. They're white supremacists too! They are all a bunch of nut-cases! They're made up of sociopaths, hoodlums, and they are all evildoers. They are wolves in sheep's clothing and they're hearts are hardened.
ReplyDeleteGoodbye cruel world!!!
ReplyDeleteWeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!.......
Bachman is pandering to the same people that Palin is courting. Another young lady who is interested in politics finds herself in the right's crosshairs. Rather than embrace her and encourage her, Bachman's followers threaten her. Aren't they just lovely Christians?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Palin. Seen this? It's a photo of what could be the witch's new lair.

Hard to believe but Michelle Bachmann is older than Palin.
ReplyDeleteMichelle Bachmann born 04-06-56
Sarah born 02-11-64
Sarah looks 15 years older than Bachmann!
I've been on the Internet from its beginnings and seen trolls and threats and trash talk ever since. But I DO blame Sarah Palin for encouraging and condoning such online behavior by practicing what she preaches: rudeness, lack of constraint, gross exaggeration, taunting and bold-faced lying. As a public figure, she's been a role model who has not only deconstructed civility but also, too, has damaged the image of women and the transparency of politics. Jeanne Devon's recent article describing Palin as a creature of opportunism is spot on. Jeez, Louise!
ReplyDeleteGryph,
ReplyDelete2 OT items:

Up to now I had written MB (mother Biotch)as an idiot .Basically a legend in her in mind, if you will .
ReplyDeleteI now see her true colors , a greedy , self serving ,rude ,spoiled , selfish , et. etc. etc. well you know, like a that Sarah Pallin person .
Honeybabe - great point! I agree with your notion and second your motion.
ReplyDeleteTo anon 3:39, you literally just claimed trash talk and internet bashing began when Sarah took national prominence. You areinsane and demented. sarah is not the cause of peoples outward racism. Though I will say the racists (a minority) are the least of obamas critics. People distrust him because he's not trustworthy. You'd realize that if you would pull your head out of palins ass long enough to learn. You turn away from democrats wrongs and immoral activity and choose to demean EVERY vocal conservative, desperately looking for any dirt that makes a person human
ReplyDeleteBiden got a huge pass when he locked a reporter in a closet at a fundraiser. Obama got a pass when he forgot Mitch Ms name, even after thinking for seconds trying to recall it. the media is in the lefts pocket. So who cares if ailes and murdoch defends palin. Everyone else failed to vet the current president and let america know how truly radical and unaccomplished he is. So don't give me the "sarah is worthless" meme. The two are identical politicians.
Why are they scared of this young girl? Is she that threatening?
ReplyDeleteOf course not. But they are dumbasses who would rather cause harm than face the truth. michele and her fan club is just as ignorant as the rest of the repubaggers.
They can go to hell.
Correction to last comment.
ReplyDeleteHere's the article that speculates about Sarah having bought a house in Scottsdale:

ReplyDeleteThey only care about the fetus once it is born then they are just a burden on society. Making welfare queens of their mothers.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about anybody else but I am disappointed that the rapture was an epic fail.0
ReplyDeleteCraig, I don't agree nor disagree with you,There are douchebags on boths sides, being a liberatarian is just an excuse to not be labled a douchebage. The tea party was the best thing that happened for Democrats, Liberals, and Libertarians.
ReplyDeleteWhere were YOU when the photo of Sarah Palin was on this blog next to another child, Christina Green, she needed defending in the worst way? Was it because she was a child or because she was a Democrat?
Did you READ the post? An innocent child is getting threats because she would like a civil debate on the constitution with an elected Congresswoman who can't or won't get her facts straight.
Sarah Palin explained to "Justin", a third grader, what a Vice President's Job was, and she bald faced lied to the kid. Was that ok because she was a Republican?
Is this the example we want politicians to set for the next generation of voters?
If I were a member or supporter of the Tea Party, I'd be furious that these are the people putting a public face on my movement. Um, wasn't the Constitution designed to give people the right to free speech without having to worry about these kinds of repercussions?!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised at all if these nut cases threatening the teenager are actually C4Pers posing as Bachmann's crazies.
ReplyDeleteBachmann, as wide-eyed and crazy as she acts on behalf of her T-Baggers, actually has a real job, serving a constituency of real live human beings, albeit a very conservative majority, in her district in Minnehaha.
On the other hand, Palin serves herself only with the blind support of her cult of flying monkeys. These Sea of Pee die-hards live vicariously thru their card-board- cut-out leader. There's no there there in the Quitter's case, but no one can tell the monkeys what should be obvious. Come Nov-2012, there will be some very disappointed and disillusioned folks wondering what happened and why are they broke but their their queen is living large. So sad.
I wonder how many of them will vote for Mitt in the general election.
General comment to coward whining that the parents of the young lady "put their daughter up to challenging Bachmann to a debate". Kudos to the parents for encouraging their daughter to practice civil debate on a serious subject! My son, who's a year younger than the teenage-girl, has two books for his summer reading prep for his AP American History Class, The Federalist Papers and Alex de Toqueville's Democracy in America. So when he's 16 next year, I hope he, too, will be keen to recognize and forthright to challenge the ignorance and misinformation being spewed by those revisionists posing as historians and constitutional scholars.
ReplyDeleteJust yesterday, we were in the car driving and I had on talk radio, listening to Hannity. My son asked me if I believed what what Hannity was crowing about. I told him that I don't listen to hi, because I agree with all or even most he says, but I try to listen to see what he has to offer that might change the way I look at a particular issue. My son rolled his eyes and said that Hannity was offering his opinion as though it were an accepted fact, and that the only part that was actually true was that it was the man's opinion. He told me that anyone that used any amount of critical thinking could pick Hannity's argument apart. I just smiled and told him not to change the radio when he drives one of our vehicles.
