Bachmann: Pelosi Tried To Incite Tea Partiers By Walking Through Crowd

[RedEarth]

Appearing on Sean Hannity's TV show last night, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) accused the Democrats of trying to incite Tea Partiers to make racist statements against Democrats in order to discredit conservatives -- specifically citing Speaker Nancy Pelosi's dramatic march to the Capitol two weeks ago, during the health care debate.

"Well, remember, President Obama brought his campaign manager back into the White House to sell this health care deal. And there's been a continuing mantra through the conclusion of trying to pass health care," said Bachmann.

"Remember when Speaker Pelosi walked arm in arm in a civil rights march across Independence Avenue, from the House buildings over to the Capitol. In three years I have never seen Nancy Pelosi cross the street the way that you saw in that picture. They deliberately went through that crowd, perhaps to try and incite something."

Bachmann continued: "There were so many cameras there, Sean. No one recorded any racial motivation. And everything we've heard in the last week has had a racial tinge coming out of the Democrats' mouth, and there hasn't been racial activity."

1. Does it hurt to be that ignorant?

It must not, or people like Bachmann would be screaming in pain every waking moment.

Thanks Michelle! You never disappoint.

9. what a cute, stinking bag of stupid she is.

And by cute, I mean, you know that brat in the store who starts screaming at his mom, DEMANDING that he wants that candy NOW!. And the nicest thing that you can think to say, when you realize that this is your good friend, is "What a cute kid!"

5. I'm amazed that Bachmann et al are unwillingly to

admit their racism publicly - they own it so they may as well claim it.

[rfranklin]

11. Wife abuser: She wouldn't listen, I had to beat her up...

18. Just what I was thinking: One more variation on "She was asking for it."

Why am I not surprised? It's all they've got, since they refuse to take responsibility for anything.

13. Someone quick...mail her some IQ points...she is on empty!

Dumber than rocks...really small, crumbling rocks.

17. Could the good people of MN vote this idiot out of office, please?

How many relate to Bachmann's bizarro world?

20. In the same way

victims of domestic abuse are at fault for causing the offending spouse to hit or abuse them. It's the victims fault because they caused trouble.:crazy:

21. Madam Speaker was showing solidarity with members who were assaulted.

That's what it was. The reps she was walking with had previously been attacked by the TEABAGGERS.

Yes, spitting on someone is assault. Fuck Bachmann! She is one of the worst, when it comes to inciting people to violence. She has made traitorous statements on the floor of The House.

She called the US House of Representatives "The Enemy". She should be kicked out of there, and arrested for making terrorist threats as well. :mad:

22. In the same way

[Gidney N Cloyd]

23. Remember when ANY republican walked arm in arm in a civil rights march across Independence Avenue?

I didn't think so, Rep. Bachmann.
