GOP analyst: Bachmann’s a liability to Republicans

Bachmann is an embarrassment to not only the entire state of Minnesota but to the human race. The one thing I agree with her is the people should be rising up in protest and revolt. However it should be the people in her district to recall this clearly out of touch with reality women from office. How much longer do we have to be witness to this crazy women and her out of touch ravings. How many more lies do we need to hear or crazy, embarrassing TV interviews does she have to give before we say enough??

I agree with Rapp- I think she’s one of the greatest things going for the Dems. And other than making a big chunk of Minnesota look awfully ridiculous, how much damage is she actually doing?

Gee-the woman tells it like it is!No wonder she is so hated.She should just stick her head in the sand and let Obama bankrupt this country!

She’s playing the left/right dummy fight to the hardcore crowd, she is good at it…, a Michael Savage of politics…, working her way into the mainstream by crystalizing thoughts that are popular with a target audience…, a growing audience…, or a declining audience?

the GOP the party of contrasts.

rich people or trailer trash

bachmann appeals to the later…….

For saying what he did, will Tom Horner be booted out of the GOP, or allowed to walk out under his own power? Maybe conservatives keep picking leaders like Bachmann, Palin, Limbaugh, etc. because they’re an accurate reflection of modern conservatives.

Michele Bachman – the best unqualified comedian that Minnesota has ever sent to Congress! And we all thought that Jesse Ventura and Al Franken were going to worry us….. we were all foolish for believing that.

Bachmann is the best thing to happen to the Democratic party since Sarah Palin.

Does she not have any idea how crazy she sounds???

She’s the conductor on the train to Crazy Town. To say she represents anything that could remotely resemble an organization of any party or persuasion is fantastical.

I listened to that show on MPR and Horner was genuinely pissed off about Bachmann refering to those volunteer programs as ‘re-education camps’. Horner talked about his own experience working with those programs and his personal knowledge of how valuable those programs are. He was really quite angry about Bachmann using (trashing) these programs for some strange personal gain.

Bachmann’s bellicosity is at a point that is very much affecting people of all political stripes.

Bachmann is a shabby propagandist, a hater along the lines of Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter and the like. Her schtick reminds me of Josef Goebbels or Julius Streicher.

The arch-conservative approach to political power has become rabid, unabashed extremism. Like Goebbels, they live by the creed that it is not enough to disagree with your opponent, or to debate your opponent. Political opponents, to Bachmann, must be “crushed” or “destroyed”. With the fervor of a religious crusade (and after all, who spends more time than the GOP wrapping themselves in the flag, toadying to the religious right and claiming to be “patriots”), her goal is to induce her followers to hate her political opponents.

This is where all the absurd conservative name-calling comes from. Everyone who disagrees with them is a “socialist”, a “marxist” or a “communist”. It’s McCarthyism on steroids.

I tend to agree with those who say that in the long run Bachman is the gift that just keeps on giving. Giving to the Dems. Her district, jerrymandered, is very conservative (lots of Fundamentalists). Now, even if a Dem knocks her off, you can bet that two years later the GOP will run someone less volatile than Bachman and probably retake the district. But Bachman has become a media darling nation-wide, and a source of natioanl ridicule and an embarassment to the GOP. She helps the Dems in shaping a national perception of the state of the current Republican party. So, I say, leave her in place, and keep her in the limelight.

Well, let’s see. Horner’s boy Coleman is losing to a freak named Franken. Bachmann got elected. Nuff said. The proof is in the performance.

What is wrong with the GOP is liberal panty-wastes like Horner, Spector, Snowe, Collins, and Coleman, not decent intelligent people with the courage of their covictions and loyalty ot party principles like Bachmann.

@Thomas Zaccone, “loyalty to party principles”, what party? This isn’t a party anymore, it’s an outdated machine that’s choking on the last drops of its cannibalized fuel. It’s reaching as far down as it possibly can to pull up the very last remnants of its base.

It appeals to hatred and fear above all. Such is the ambition of tyranny. Such are the tools of fascists and communists, which you allegedly revile. Only the lowest, blindest followers of any civilization can be stirred by such rhetoric–too bad there’s so many of you who refuse to open books or look beyond the stained-glass windows.

“panty-wastes”, what are you, 80? Is that your argument? You’re beliefs and political dogma are no longer relevant.

You can be conservative, even extremely conservative and not be an idiot. Michelle Bachmann is an idiot. She thinks because Obama is president, we “won’t have freedom.” She thinks there are going to be ID cards for pro-lifers. If you believe those things, you are stupid.

Come on, 6th District, vote her out of there. For all you right leaners who cannot bring themselves to vote for a DFL, the IP party is going to have a great candidate for you. Stay tuned.
