Michele Bachmann: God sent Hurricane Irene to carry me to the White House

• that bitch is crazy

• Mine has neat things like periods and commas and stuff. Maybe even the occasional semi-colon (that's punctuation, BTW; not a body part).

• First of all, Larry Crouse, MN has voted Dem since '72. Longer than any other state. So before you start ripping on MN for Bachmann, take a step back and realize it is a small, crazy minority district that supports her. The rest of us have been laughing at her far longer than most of you.  To the rest of you: Bravo... Solid commentary. The land that produced Skip Humphrey, Paul Wellstone and Al Franken, also put her on a ticket (although, she is really from IA, thankfully). "MN Voter", change your moniker to something else. We know this is really Tim Pawlenty.

• i will challenge you to a contest of spelling and punctuation

• yes - and maybe you're as batty as Bachman

• You won´t believe how the respect of the American society sinks in the eyes of the international public by coming up such figures. Only, because this is possible. We seriously ask ourselves, as dementedly or dangerously those people are, who want Palin and Bachmann.

• For all you working stiffs, elderly, and poor people who let Mrs. Bachmann fool you with the faith she wears on her sleeve, I have this to say to you, she is about to do you in the name of God and she wouldn't be taking your call in the morning and if you are observant during the job she is doing on you she probably didn't even tell you she loved you.

• Tell the Tea Party/ Republicans you want Guantanamo Bay closed as Obama wanted and iof they agree see how fast it will be closed.   Where did you get your debt numbers.  Obviously you know nothing of finance because if you did you would realize you must add the surplus Bush squandered to the debt he ran up to get a full picture of his lunacy.  Also Obama did not come in with a clean debt plate.  Part of deficit that occurred during his years was interest on the debt he inherited.  Also because of you war mongering neo-cons he was forced to clean-up the mess you started in the two Bush wars and the unfunded drug benefit that he continued ( but cleaned up in the much hated Obamacare). If you would stop listening to Republican talking points you would see although not perfect he has not had any bipartisan help to solve these problems.

• First of all, do you even believe in God? What rock did you crawl from under? Why don't you separate theology and politics and focus on the subject. President Obama didn't start this war, he's having to pick up where the Bushes bailed out at. To me, you don't sound like a voter but more like a terrorist trying to cause discord among the American people. If you want to make a remark, come to the table with facts and not childish foolishness.

• Debt increases by U.S Presidents: Reagan 186% Bush I 54% Clinton 41% Bush II 72% Obama 23% For what it's worth... Source: Congressional Budget Office. Gonzo55, you need to dig for facts because it's obvious you don't do any research. Where did you get your figures from?...out of your butt?

• for someone that is suppose to know the bible how can you say such things about a chapter of the bible what is wrong with your bible is it different then mine

• Why do you lie about being educated? Clearly that is not the case. Insecure?

• Ah, when you don't have a rebuttal - resort to name calling. Par for the course in the repub mindset. Sad.

• You're an idiot!!! Of epic proportions!!!

• Balance the budget on the backs of the poor and the working class, and fuck public education because if God wanted you to be educated you'd have been born rich. Gotcha. So have you always been a swine? Or was your sense of decency shot off in the war?

• who's a good troll? who's a good little troll? wag yer tail...good frothing at the mouth breathin' troll...good rabid beastie...SIT!

• I sure am glad your idiot god isn't the one the rest of us believe in. Get back to your padded cell.....What a moron! 

•  Ye who boast is least.....Mn Voter.....You are moron of extraordinary proportions. #1 The war you refer to is Bush's baby.  #2 You are also a baby killer. Voting republican means you support Bush's war. #3 You have no degrees what so ever or you wouldn't need to brag. Your lack of education is obvious just by reading your unsubstantiated claims. TYPICAL Minnesota frozen brain hick! 

• Your "advanced degrees" really shine through when you show you have a major problem with a smart woman that makes you look foolish. 

• I'm not sure what concerns me more, Bachmann's own insanity or the insanity of her followers/supporters/defenders. Just from reading some of these comments, it's obvious that the ridiculous rhetoric used by the extreme right is actually influencing some people. Does the overall literacy level of these supporters surprise anyone? These people can barely form a complete sentence let alone think for themselves... i.e. this Mn Voter clown. All I can make out from his/her comments are a few FOX news buzzwords mixed in with an article here and there and something about dead babies: "God babies dead kill Obama government anti-christ! Babies! Dead!" 

• Radmacaronicore: It was clinton-gore who wanted to invade Iraq in 1998. They started what you call the "Lies". Fucking Saddam is dead and the middle east is rolling the dictators over. Way to go Bush!

• stick your religion up your arse. I will give directly to my poor brother and cut off the hands that try to pick my pocket. Social government is not charity. Amy you are a stupid slut.

• Amen JL: zero out the SSI/Disability, ADHD, Section 8 housing, Welfare, food stamps and make the lazy bums work! We can also get rid of the Department of Non-Education, the IRS, the TSA, and cap all government workers to $75,000 max per year. Change the pensions to 401k.

• JWW: Obama escalated the war, killed 1,000 civilians in 2010 including many children in Pakistan. He was elected to bring the troops home not kill children. Obama is a child killer!

• This old hag is so full of sh!t that I'm surprised her eyeballs aren't pure brown.  She's a cross between Hee-Haw confields and the cast of Mama's Family - such an idiot yet so many people whose mantra is do nothing & wait for Jesus to arrive support her.  Wow - so original.  Let's get a bunch of rural do-nothings from places where nothing happens and share their thoughts - everything of course refers to God and somehow, these people seem to think it's up to them to decide for everyone else who, what and where God will be.  And Michele, like the wicked witch /Garagmel hybrid she is, is loving every second of it.  She knows she has the trailer park people wrapped around her finger - they're the easiest to manipulate.  They only care about social issues, which are impossible for one president to change.  But the voters don't know that.  They just need to see that she hates gay people and despises abortion.  What a concept - that's the GOP's two slam-dunks since, what, 1980?  Meanwhile, the Tea Party idiots, many of whom live off of SSI/Disability for some crap excuse for a disability like fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome or ADHD - the easiest 'disabilities' to fake - are too disabled to work but not too disabled to tool around the country for these little protests, so long as there's a Wendy's and a WalMart to stop at.  Many are on medicare, get food stamps, live in government/Section 8 housing and live off of Disability.  They hate 'too much government' in everyone's lives (except theirs - nearly every facet of their own lives is paid for by us, the taxpayers, so they can sit around and drink cheap beer and eat pretzels all day).  Yet the have no clue that their heroes (Bachmann, Palin, Perry) are taking them for a nice long ride to 'get a fking job-ville' - these three have no intention to keep welfare, section 8, food stamps and SSI moving along as easily as it is now.  Most of these folks will find it a rude awakening when they are told there's nothing wrong with them after all (big surprise!) and they need to get out, get a job at Goodwill or Hardee's, and actually do something besides go to church, protest abortion clinics, j/o looking at GLBT websites behind closed doors, or continue watching their white daughters suck off every black man in town.  These people are such cowards it's sickening.  Part of me hopes that these Tea Party leaders win - just to see these toothless fools' lives gurgle down the drain.

• organized Religion is BS.

• I have a lot of my own criticisms regarding Obama, including the ones you mentioned. (Not sure about where you get those stats, or how racking up debt now matters more than it did in the 8 years before Obama's presidency, but moving on...) That said, Obama's lack of perfection does not excuse Bachmann's insanity, and I am not giving Obama a free pass by criticizing Bachmann and not mentioning Obama's faults in the next breath. We're not commenting on a post about Obama--it's a post about Michele Bachmann. Try to focus and stop deflecting.

• You wanna talk about lies? Who the fuck lied to the American public in the first place about the reason why we invaded Iraq?

• The Onion can't come close to her 'reality'

• It would be refreshing if BOTH Obama and Bachmann were equally criticized, but alas it is not... So lets look literally speaking, Obama  lied about closing Guantanamo Bay detention, or having a transparent government, that bills would be online 72 hours before passing or discussion, that discussion of meetings would be open door and not behind closed doors, that he criticized GWB for racking up and adding 4 trillion to the National debt over 8 years (Obama did it better... 4 billion plus in less than 4 years) oh and BHO said it was deplorable to create such debt and inexcusable to place such massive debt on our children, and any other "promise" that he made...But I see your inclined to let BHO have a wide swath when he's speaking in his generalities, but anyone else... the media take a statement blow it up, gin it up, throw a sensational headline on it, and then make up what the left thinks MB or any other candidate was thinking or "what they meant".. whose the batshit crazy one?? I'd say, the writer of this article..

• War is hell.   It's sad civilians die because of war.   That's why I vote for the political party that doesn't start unnecessary wars based on a lie like the Republicans did with Iraq.    Americans don't have blood on their hands for Afghanistan because Al Queda killed 3,000 civilians on a little thing called 9/11.   It was horrible how George W. Bush mismanaged the Afghanistan War.   First he screwed it up by outsourcing the capture of Osama Bin Laden to tribal soldiers at Tora Bora and the later by ignoring it as he was busy screwing up Iraq with his lies and incompetence.   Obama has made the Afgan War worth it by having Osama Bin Laden shot in the eye by American badasses.   I doubt you have an "advanced degrees" because you spell and think like a child and don't know basic facts about war.  You think its news a drone killed a kid?    Go read about Dresden,Nagasaki, and Hiroshima  and see what the American War machine can do.    Now where is my gold bitch?   It's pretty easy to prove you are an idiot and wrong to blame Obama for one civilian death in Afghanistan.  

• MN Voter I couldn't believe it either when, in October of 2001, then President, Barack Obama called for the invasion of Afghanistan.  Do you have an advanced degree in re-writing history as well?

• Socialism!!!!!   Burn this terrorist socialist screed you quote?    Just what the hell is "Deuteronomy" anyway?    Sounds like Al Queda talk to me. 

• I challenge you to a contest of applying consistent logic.  I bet you can't do that.  In lieu of that, I challenge you to a simple spelling test...I bet you can't do that either.  And I'm not surprised that you are attracted to gold...it is, after all, shiny.

• Deuteronomy 15:7, 11 If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the LORD your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother. There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land.

• You are the most standard hypocrite that was ever developed. 

• Kirk, you act as if it's an either/or, as if we can't criticize BOTH Bachmann and Obama for their religious hypocrisy. PS: Jesus himself advocated on behalf of the poor, saying things like, "...I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." So I'm failing to understand your criticism of Wallis' passing along the ideas behind things that Jesus ACTUALLY said*, as opposed to, say, Bachmann declaring natural disasters to be God's warning about the government's behavior. The first one is fairly clear-cut; the other, to be extremely generous, relies heavily on how much you trust the "interpreter". (* Assuming you take anything in the Bible to be God's word, or Jesus' word, and that you believe either/both of them exist. Not super excited about having that debate today. K? Thanks.)

• It's a shame that none of your "advance degree's" were in English.

• Hmmm, I see that Barack Obama's Spiritual Adviser Reverend Jim Wallis uses Jesus to advocate for the redistribution of your wealth to the poor. Jim Wallis also uses Jesus to advocate things like amnesty for illegal immigrants, and the bombing of Libya. In fact, Barack Obama himself said: "I believe in civil unions that allow a same-sex couple to visit each other in a hospital or transfer property to each other.  I don't think it should be called marriage, but I think that it is a legal right that they should have that is recognized by the state. If people find that controversial, then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans.  That's my view"... So it appears as Barack Obama himself has your arm all tied up, with a big old syringe of Bible to shoot in. Bang Bible with Barrack = Good! Bang Bible with Michele = Bad? Good is good, and evil is evil.  How about developing a standard hypocrite?

• And the war in afganistan will improve after we kill another 1,000 civilians like 2010 - "Obama" the war mongering, child killing cheney clone!

• How batshit crazy can this writer be.. from Michelles statement, you get....   Just to look at this thinking in pieces -- without breaking it apart, because who knows what sort of toxic stuff is inside -- Michele is arguing that 1) God hit America with an earthquake and a hurricane because taxes on the wealthy are too high; (HUH????)  2) God personally threatened a fistfight with Barack Obama and Harry Reid; (DOUBLE HUH??)3) Actually, Americans caused the hurricane, what with all their "roaring," (WTF) and 4) Actually the government caused the earthquake, because it is morbidly obese, and just shifting in its seat registered 5.8 on the Richter scale and stirred 100-mile-an-hour winds on the Atlantic. (REALLY THATS WHAT SHE MEANT??) Whose the batshit crazy one... I agree MB should not be the next President, but really... That's like sayin Obama said.."things are bad" and interpreting it as..."The economy is on the rise, and unemployment will improve in the next week, and we will get our  credit rating up in a month, oh and Joe Biden will broker peace in the middle east.."... LMAO....

• Obama is a war mongering, blood thirsty baby killer! You guy have blood on your hands. Go ahead and make attacks on my intelligence! I have multiple degrees in math and science including advance degree's and will accept any challenge anyone here backs up with real money (gold). Of course you idiots don't believe in gold! You miss the point - obama is bush - cheney in pursuit of War. Obama has killed children just in the last 60 days! Does anyone care that Obama is a baby killer?

• Seriously it  is like Mn Voter was born in the year 992.   I bet he thinks the sun revolves around the Earth too. 

• I don't think you are thinking too clearly on this Mn Voter.  Obviously you are like me and know that science is just a bunch of made up mumbo jumbo by liberal assholes.  Obviously God uses weather to punish us but let's look at my rival Mr. Rick Perry.   Obviously God hates him because Texas has been suffering from a massive drought over the last year.   I give Gov. Perry credit for praying to God to end the drought, prayer is the only solution government should ever use, however obviously God hates him and didn't listen to his prayers.   Let this be a lesson to all you Tea Party people that God hates Rick Perry.    On the other hand the only thing I've ever prayed to God for was the straightest husband a woman could find.  Mission accomplished God.  Vote Bachmann 2012 or else God will destory you!  

• and above, folks, you'll see a fine example of the unhinged lunacy that is the driving force behind Bachmann's popularity.

• Maybe God has picked a fight with Obama the baby killer (I refer to the 3 year pakistan resident killed by the drone missles - is the Hague looking into this?)! Maybe God has decided that the oppressive federal government of the Cesar Obama is corrupt and needs to be washed clean (start by firing the TSA) and putting the Congresswoman (maxine waters & husband) in Jail. Maybe God (She) has decided that Obama is the anti-christ along with mayor bloomberg!
