Michele Bachmann blames reporters for her American Revolution gaffe

Grimlock

Finally accepting thier many gaffes such as Michele Bachmans latest and the fact they are obviously not perfect, the Tea Party is attempting to appeal to the American Idol Demographic with a music video!!!The Michelle Bachman Trio sings “We Know We Weren’t Perfect.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjcmZtqidQk

Aren't there 57 arab states?

Didn't President Obama once say that the United States had 57 states?

I think this blogs 10,000 stories about her are proof of what she's saying.

Right! If Michele was truly a "nut job" or a "crazed lunatic", the liberals wouldn't see her a threat.The REDUNDANT negative rhetoric directed in Michele's direction, is proof that the heretics are awaiting further direction for their heresy from their beloved heresiarches. (Obama/Reid/Pelosi)

Another pointless rant from Kirk, I guess.

Apparently, much like much the "birther" remarks from Huckabee and Gingrich, it's not that Republicans SAY crazy and blatantly wrong things - it's that the media REPORTS those things that they say.

As for the "57 states" remark, the hyperbole over this is amazing. There are more than 50 (Democratic) presidential primaries/caucuses, because the territories and possessions are allowed to participate.

Right on todd! Way to spell it out todd!"territories and possessions" NOT STATES! Dum ditty dumb you must hum, as you stroll down the street huh todd.

Kirk, you are not only stupid, but you also have a reading comprehension problem.

I never said that Obama was CORRECT in his "57 states" remark. I said that the criticism of the remark was "hyperbole". Look that word up, genius.

There are 57 primaries and caucuses in the Democratic presidential process.50 states+USVI+N. Mariana+PR+ USVI+American Samoa+Guam+"Democrats Abroad" - and TX has both primary and a caucus.

You want to pretend that someone asked Obama how many states there were, and that he answered "57". That's HYPERBOLE.

The context of his remark was that he was explaining that there was a long way to go in the process. He SHOULD have said "57 primaries and caucuses" but he used the incorrect term "states". He was wrong, and he admitted it. He didn't blame the media or make some lame excuse like Bachmann did.

If I asked you how many fingers are on your right hand, you would most likely say "five".That would be WRONG, because the thumb is a "digit", not a finger. Now, if I used that as "evidence" that you can't count, that would be hyperbole.

However, there is a fundamental difference between the incorrect statement that you have five fingers and an incorrect statement that you have seven fingers. The first indicates that you do not know the difference between a digit and a finger, and the second indicates that you can't count.

Most of this obviously went over your head, because your thought process can't grasp anything more complex than "Obama said there's 57 states!". And you probably are too stupid to hum and walk at the same time.

Pleasure to have ya here todd. Most people here will never go beyond talking points, because that is (the talking point) the depth of their knowledge on the subject. but yet they comment...I would call your "hyperbole" comment correct, but it very much also applies to Ms. Bachmann and the criticism of her.I was poking fun because of your bigoted defense of what I could only presume is your god. (obama) Also todd, calling my rant pointless? It gives detailed comparisons of then to now.And todd, criticizing my comments instead of the premise of the article. Well doing that, you're bound to take a few jabs from this black man.

Also todd, the fingers are also called digits as is the thumb. The difference is the "thumb" has two phalanges rather than three like the other four digits and it's an opposable digit. The "thumb" can and is called a finger; just ask our local Summit Orthopedics. Just called my girl to check, and she asked one of the hand docs. Yes, I am a "jack" of knowledge.

Is any of the third graders in here smart enough to see the open window I just gave for your insults?

Ah, sounds like she has heeded the mantra of the liberal. Were all victims! Victims of our society, our culture, our globalization, and now apparently now "the media bias".

Well Michele, thanks for being "captain obvious". Any idiot can see the difference between questions asked of a Democrat Senator and a Republican on Meet the Press, Face the Nation or Hardball. Softball pitch questions for the Democrats VS. Nolan Ryan questions for the Republicans. The "la ti da" media response to an action by one VS. the sheer scrutiny to the same action by another. Hmmm...

Hey by the way, where is all the "Dooms Day" stories concerning the price of gas?Look back to 2007 under the heading "gas” there was at least 1 "gas causing pain" headline every day in every major news outlet.Or Google - (gas price time: 2007)Compare those stories/headlines to todays. What's changed? Did everybody get rich in the last three years except me? My car still gets 32 MPG the last time I checked.$3.50 gas is $3.50 gas right?What's changed?Bias maybe?

How about George Bush golfing "while a war is going on"!Did you know Obama went golfing last weekend?Bias maybe.

Where did those "war death tolls" go?Remember those?Has Codepink been protesting in front of Obama's personal house?If so, where is the media coverage?What's changed?Bias maybe?

Like I said; "you would have to be an idiot"! Or perhaps that "deaf, dumb and blind kid" with NO memory of yesteryear.
