Michelle Bachman is freakin' nuts

[Mile High Shack]

She has gone off the freakin' deep end.

I know not all tea partiers are crazy, I'd say 99% are normal people, but when you have the spokesperson as someone who is stupid and crazy (not a good combo) - this is why people look dis favorably on the teaparty thing

The GOP could probably put Michelle Bachman on its next presidential ticket and do quite well.

There's a reason why she has such a huge audience and so many supporters.

People like Bachman, Beck, Limbaugh, et al, are the true face of today's conservative mainstream.

Another person who's never been to the Huff post in their lives. Read the list of contributors on the site and their histories. Of course, the last thing I would ever expect out of a rightard (Bachmann included) is a desire to actually know something rather than jerk around to your ideological chain like a frog hooked to a battery.

The Tea Party has it's hero, Michelle Bachman is not that hero.

[Missouribronc]

Just curious. What the hell was the context? I mean why the heck did she bring up slavery in the first place?

Was this a sound bite from a few years ago that he drug up to discount her for giving the response to the President's speech? Was it something recent?

You're right, if she believes what she just said, she doesn't know American history, but then again...thanks to No Child Left Behind, we've got a generation of American kids that are being taught Communication and Math, and they aren't taught history, so they won't even know that she was wrong...

why is she the spokesman?

I watched the video and it's fine -- Matthews is splitting hairs over her wording, and taking a narrow definition of "founding fathers," even though she led right into JQA, and made it clear the principles of our founding were carried on in a tireless war against slavery. The Constitution ends the slave trade. That was the ultimate death knell for slavery. Ending the slave trade made it an enclave in the South, and began to morally isolate it.

no kidding, I really hope they get rid of it

and the speech was from the day of the SOTU address, it was her tune up speech.

the founding fathers did not work tirelessly to end slavery, that's just simply wrong and that isn't knowing american history at all

Just saw The Race to Nowhere last night. No child left behind is the worst thing to happen to American education in the last 30 years. Not because of it's goal but because of it's application. We don't teach kids how to think anymore, just how to memorize and take tests.

Because she was hand picked by the establishment, and let everyone know in her speech. She didn't once thank grassroots support, it was all corporate handouts that she acknowledged.

If anything Rand Paul should have been giving that speech.

Missouri decided they'd "overachieve" and set really high standards that essentially said every child in the state would be proficient or advanced in communication and math by 2014. Admirable goal. The problem: Four years before that deadline 75 percent of the schools in the state couldn't meet 60 percent proficient and advanced. So by 2014 all of the kids in Missouri (including special needs and mentally handicapped students) have to be proficient? And if they aren't the state is forced to take over schools? Such a bad law, in so many ways...

I'm not sure I even know to be honest.....I think it was the belief that the founding fathers are some sort of deity that made no mistakes and everything they did was perfect....ok, I am exaggerating

But I think it was about how the founding fathers set up a perfect country basically and we need to go back to that

How is her ignorance defensible? This seems to be a by product of Bush jr. in that it is not your fault if you are ignorant AND stupid.

Do you know what would destroy the Taliban. Education! The people cannot read and defer to their village elders who literally make up crap to keep the people content.

The thing about this kind of retardation that is so offensive is that it is a reflection of why our soldiers are dying overseas. Our own arrogance and stupidity is killing them.

A leader, in my eyes, is a leader as long as they lead. The minute they fail you don't make excuses for them. You keep your honesty and call it fairly.

If anybody posted that kind of amazing stupidity here they would be roundly shiat upon but she does this globally and it is defensible? Why?

If Rand speaks too early he becomes Bobby Jindal.

apparently it's better to stick your finger in your ears and go na-na-na-na-na-na than deal with things

Nobody has ever accused Matthews of being a hard hitting journalist.

No, because Bobby Jindal was an establishment hack. Paul is for the people by the people.

If you are speaking on national media shouldn't you have a higher standard than if you were on a corner turning tricks?
