‘False and misleading’: Bachmann responds to Clark ad

““The claims made about my statements are false,” Bachmann writes in response.”

It’s ok, even admirable to be a proven, demonstrated liar if you’re a right wing whacko, and if you’re lying for the right reasons.

I keep waiting for the day that Bachmann is photographed chewing on her leather straps as she is transported to a mental institution.What in the hell is wrong with the people in the sixth congressional district??!!!Apparently they are as whacked out as she is.

Everytime Michelle Bachmann opens her mouth she distorts the truth. And she’s done it so many times, she cannot tell the difference between lie and truth. Her statements on BP show more unbridled loyalty to a foreign multi-billion dollar oil company than to her own country. Her logic is so twisted, pandering and self-serving that I feel icky just listening to her weave her wicked web of self deceipt. That big fat wet one she laid on George Bush when she was first elected was symbolic of her being in bed with her special interests.

It suonds like a generic response from her campaign. “They said something negative–it must be false.” Her cultists don’t care that there are no specifics, or that the evidence contradicts her. She said it, it must be true.

If you fool actually paid attention to what was said in the attack ad against Bachmann, you would understand why she is calling it distortion and false claims. The ad claims Bachmann said that making BP pay for the cleanup is extortion. She never said that. What she did say is that making BP set up a $20 billion fund to be administered by an “objective third party” is tantamount to extortion. And she is right. Current federal law only allows for a maximum of 75 million. And for that objective third party that will administer those funds? None other than President Obama’s Pay Czar. How is that objective? How is that even legal to change the rules on BP to ignore current law allowing a max of 75 million? BP has already agreed to pay for all related costs for the cleanup. But also forcing them to pay unemployment costs to oil workers laid off because of the President’s moratorium on off shore drilling? That was not BP’s doing. That was the federal governments doing. And unnecessary at that. If you haven’t figured it out yet, our whole economy runs on fossil fuel. We don’t have a replacement fuel available to run our entire economy. So, if we want to completely destroy whats left of our economy, by all means. Lets switch to “alternative sources of energy”. Please let us know what we are supposed to run our vehicles on so we can get to work.

Those who call themselves Christians and support this woman who calls herself a Christian, need to ask themselves one question, “What/Who would Jesus lie about?”

The answer would tell them all they need to know about Lil’ Shelley.

She parades around with screaming at the top of her lungs, “I’m a Christian!,” and “See how much of a Christian I am!,” then turns around and tells ANOTHER lie.

Sorry. She parades around screaming…

I was born in Long Prarie in Todd county, and when people talk about the issues and the players in Minn. politics, at least for the two weeks i was there last month – And i get home about 5 times a year, they all are tired of the mess she is making of our image and the values of our state.
me I just wish she would stop telling people about the peole of MINN. cause it aint true or accurate to saddle all of us as being some how in aggreement with her.

It’s a good thing she only has two sides to her mouth. Her message might get confused if we got it in surround sound.

the Mn 6th voters deserve a full-time rep, not one who votes when it doesn’t clash with a media opportunity

the Mn 6th voters deserve a competent, well-informed rep, not one who makes up wild accusations about the patriotism of congressional colleagues, or nonsense about President Obama’s motivations

the Mn 6th voters deserve a rep who cares more about foreclosures in the district than Wall St profits

the Mn 6th voters deserve a rep who cares more about the devastation of the Gulf than whether BP is inconvenienced

it truly is time for a change we can believe in

it’s time that Tarryl Clark provide the sane, both-feet-on-the-ground, hard-working representation on the many important issues facing the district and our nation

if you agree, consider supporting Tarryl Clark for representative from the Mn 6th!!

Perhaps the false and misleading statements are the contradictory assertions by Michele Bachmann

Was she for BP before she was against BP? or visa versa?

Why is she advising their management about not being chumps when dealing with President Obama? Who’s side is she on?

Wow – Some folks love to watch a TV ad and believe the excerpts apparently. Go read all of her comments from the sources cited on the Ad (each are provided for all of their excerpts). If nothing else, you will find out just how slanted Tarryl Clark is … the context of the Bachmann ads are not even close to the Clark Ads portrayal. In fact, her primary concern is not the cleanup, it’s how the President has proceeded to force BP to pay for things that are out of BP’s control. She has 100% supported BP paying for their mess, and every Rep. has stated the same. In fact, the only thing Clarks ad conveys is how desperate the Dem party is, especially herself, in an attempt to attack an active member of the house when she has NO track record to stand on herself. Take her for her word and you’ll probably be the next person she throws under the bust … and don’t even get me started about her talking out of both sides of her mouth. I’m better than Michelle, but I lie and stretch the truth just to get my way. Vote for Tarryl Clark and see how long it takes for her to throw YOU under the bus!

I am certainly no Michelle Bachman fan, but these ads are misleading and inacurate. She never said that BP shouldn’t pay any claims. What she did say was that she was concerned that false claims were likely to be made, and that this was likely to impact all of us through an increase in gas prices.

Whether or not any of this will happen is yet to see, but readers here should get their facts right before they go off spouting about comments being made in a paid politcal ad.
