Watch Out: The Mad Woman From Minnesota, Michele Bachmann, is Back http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/election08/411 Sarah Palin may not be in the White House, but don't rejoice too quickly. Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District has their own mini- Palin: Michele "Mad Woman" Bachmann, and most Americans may be shocked to find out that she's just been elected to her second term in Congress by two percentage points.
Bachmann is a crazy born-again who's even more fun to watch than Palin. She's got the hair, the wonderful Fargo-esque accent and penchant for abuse of power. But Bachmann's filter is nearly non- existent, allowing her to accuse our next president of being an anti- American, leftist terrorist. Sound familiar? On Chris Matthews' Hardball, she not only calls Obama anti-American, but also she insinuates that all liberals are "leftist, Anti- Americans." Furthermore, she wishes members of Congress would be investigated by the media to determine their anti-American views. If you haven't already, watch the video here. Notice how Bachmann's eyes flare open wide every time Matthews asks her a question, like she's trying to burn a hole in the camera lens. Freaky, huh? The video got a lot of play and discussion in the days before the election, prompting the RNC to pull ad support, huge amounts of money donated to her Democratic rival, Elwyn Tinklenberg, an apology ad from Bachmann, and a petition to have her censured. Some even weirder, and less watched, video popped up of Bachmann speaking to her mega-church, Living Word Christian Center. She said God is calling us to wage war on radical Islam: "How will our nation deal with this threat of radical Islam? There's so much at stake, but we listen to the Lord and we decide we're going to suit up, we're going to sign up, we're going to be hot for God, and we're going to do what He is calling us to do!" Hmm... that has a familiar ring to it too. But that's not all. On a personal level, God apparently called Bachmann to marry someone she didn't really like at all, as well as to run for Congress. Also like Palin, Bachman thinks global warming is "voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax." Bachmann also said that people like to work two jobs, going so far as to invent a new word to assert this (workingest does sound kind of like nuke-you-ler). She calls herself a "Joe the Plumber," though she has a house worth more than $1 million. How does she justify this statement? Well, she and her husband own a "small business," Bachmann & Associates. Michele's husband, Marcus Bachmann, is the president of the company, which is a Christian therapy center. Marcus is a "therapist" with a PhD in psychology from an online college, and it is unclear whether or not he's licensed. On his bio, he says "Christ is the Almighty Counselor," and there are indications that the organization uses the Christian therapy to "un-gay" homosexual clients. That would certainly fit with Michele's anti-gay stance. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
