“No man, not even a Supreme Court, can undo what a holy God has instituted,” Ms. Bachmann said in a statement. “For thousands of years of recorded human history, no society has defended the legal standard of marriage as anything other than between man and woman.” She said the court action “will undermine the best interest of children and the best interests of the United States.”
Asked to react to Bachmann’s statement, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi summed up what increasing majorities of Americans feel about such strident opposition with a dismissive “Who cares?”
That, THAT is my favorite response to a Michele Bachmann rant ever!
You know with Wendy Davis standing up to the Texas Republican uterus police, the UK telling Right Wing bloggers to fuck off, and the Supreme Court knocking the legs out from under conservative homophobia, this has been a very good day for liberals.
A very damn good day indeed.
In other important TeaBagger news today, Sarah Palin took a shit and forgot to wipe her ass. Obviously, she neglected to wash her hands, also, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd just think, now Sarah and Rebecca Mansour can make it official!
ReplyDeleteTom, in FL
Texas Republican Uterus police are at it again...Will get their heads handed to them...again..
ReplyDelete"Who cares?" I look forward to the day Sarah Palin says or does something stupid and you say, "Who cares?" and move on.
ReplyDeleteWhat does it matter to you? Don't come here if you don't want our opinions on Her Heinous. The day she stays out of the news for good will be a very good day for all of us.
DeleteIt matters to me because all the attention Gryph and others give her do the opposite of what he and you claim you want. And I do find some pretty information on other, more worthwhile subjects here.
DeleteActually, the attention we give her gaffes keeps calling attention to her stupidity. That is what we want. And if you notice, the rest of the media is slowly ignoring her, also what we want. The truth is, Sarah has many secrets that need to see the light of day, and if we just let her fade into the sunset, she gets away with them. We want her brought to justice for the hateful things she has done. So you can stay and ignore the Sarah stories. I agree, there is much good information here.
DeleteSo, its ok to stick a pillow in your panties and call it Tri-g? Then try to become VP and then rip off millions of dollars from your scheme?
DeleteI will NEVER say "Who cares" to that my friend.
And you should be glad of it.
"no society has defended the legal standard of marriage as anything other than between man and woman.” Muslim men were allowed to take as many wives as they could support. They usually take four; women are expensive these days. Mitt Romney's grandfather left the United States because, according to his religion, he could have multiple wives-- but not in the newly formed state of Utah. Men in the Old Testament did have multiple wives, because of fertility it was OK, then.
ReplyDelete"For thousands of years..." Say what? Where has she been?
DeleteHow about the whole list of countries around the world that have legalized gay marriage, we are BEHIND.
Bachmann can wail till the cows come home. Who cares?
Bachmann is as terrifyingly ignorant on this subject as she is on so many others.
DeleteSOmeone needs to tell her about the special services created by the early Catholic church that were used to marry two of MALE their saints - to each other!
DeleteGryph.... a very damn good day indeed. "Any day you're still flying......"
ReplyDeleteOdd phrasing from Bachmann... "what a holy God has instituted." "a", apparently not the only one?
ReplyDeleteThat's the best response she could have made. To say more just adds validity to MB's misguided message. Just brush her off like an annoying mosquito.
ReplyDeleteFinally, someone gave the perfect response to one of Bachmann's stupidity.

Dear N Michele , many cultures accepted homosexual marriage. The Spartans did, (when you watch the movie 300 remember Spartan soldiers were paired up and married) and Many true Americans did, as an example would be my Ojibwe tribe. So take your tight puckered ass to another country. We know you live in fear of Marcus leaving you, get over it.
ReplyDeleteLittle Rabbit
In happier news Gov Jerry brown (CA) has ordered all counties to be ready in 25 days to issue same sex marriage licenses
Now we just need to get this voting stuff straightened out. The rest is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAnd last I checked, Wendy Davis (The Texas Tornado) has raised an additional $60,000 today on Act Blue...so far.
I just sent her a donation too! Game on!
DeleteHey Bachmann, keep your mythology out of my government.
ReplyDeleteLoved it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting Gryphen.
R in NC
Michelle Baby!
ReplyDeleteYou are NOT valid. Ever.
Shut the fuck up.
I live in Minnesota where you are not valued. And. I went to Lutheran schools.
How dare you.
There is a lot of polygamy in the Old Testament. Yahweh had no problem with other arrangements. I guess Michele Bachmann is yet another Christian who has not read large parts of the bible.
ReplyDeleteAnd let's all just remember that St Joan of Arc was a political failure...vis a vis the RWNJ that want to canonize St Sarah of Wasilla...
ReplyDeleteLove it and I am sure that is what most of those in DC and the whole country thinks when Skanky takes to facebook and twitter with her asinine look at me posts.
ReplyDeleteHear! Hear! Who cares what that nutjob thinks! Bachman is so passe!
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S the message to ALL Pee-Baggers around the globe !!!!!
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE NOT RELEVANT !!!!!
Not only "who cares?" but also:
ReplyDeleteWhy do you give a shit, anyway?
Is it because you know you cannot truly believe your personal bullshit version of "religion" unless everyone else does?
a very good day indeed!
ReplyDeleteneed to fix citizens united, the voting situation...etc but progress is being made!
It is a great day and while I believe what Nancy said was funny, it is just going to piss the botbase off. She should have said something like "michele has an opinion, her opinion, but it is an unconstitutional opinion" or something ike that. Saying "who care", while true and funny, will not be good. I feel it.
ReplyDeleteQuit worrying what the botbase thinks. The botbase is always saying disrespecful things to and about liberals. The botbase can kiss our asses.
DeleteTBH, I don't think Pelosi is served by such flip comments. I think a "she is certainly entitled to her opinion, but civil rights should not be governed by opinion" would have been more professional.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is no one cares, but I'd rather see someone be gracious in victory, particularly when dealing with people who don't know how to be gracious.
Three cheers for NY Congressman Jerry Nadler who gave the most succinct explanation about why the state has an interest in recognizing same-sex marraige.
ReplyDeleteMichelle Bachmann is a sideshow on her way to obscurity. Indeed. "Who cares!"
I have nothing but respect for Nancy Pelosi. She ran the House once with perfection and success. Assuredly cannot say that about orange Boehner!
ReplyDeleteWe need to get Dems back in the majority so that she can run it again and get something done!!!!!
I think "Who Cares?" was just fine. A far more appropriate response from a woman of Nancy Pelosi's stature would have been "Michele Bachmann is a Dingbat" or "Have YOU seen MARCUS?
ReplyDeleteThis is great news, I can't wait for the day when the terms "Marriage" and "Family" don't need any qualifiers. Love is Love.
