Bachmann to appear at “Sharia report” release
Wednesday, September 15, 2010 at 8:24 am
According to the Washington Times, Rep. Michele Bachmann will be on hand at Wednesday afternoon’s release of a new report that proponents say offers a “second opinion” on President Obama’s assertion that terrorism is a product of violent extremists and not Islam. Bachmann will be flanked by two fellow Republicans — Reps. Trent Franks of Arizona and Pete Hoekstra of Michigan.
According to the report’s website, www.shariahthethreat.com, “this study challenges the assumptions underpinning the official line in the conflict with today’s totalitarian threat, which is currently euphemistically described as ‘violent extremism,’ and the policies of co-existence, accommodation and submission that are rooted in those assumptions.”
The study’s sponsor, the Center for Security Policy, is run by a Washington Times writer and former Reagan defense staffer who has repeatedly accused President Obama of using Sharia code words in his speeches. He even tweeted earlier this summer, “Did you know Hezbollah is training on the US/Mexico border?”

They are really going for Obama. One article on the site says if Obama, as commander in chief, stopped the Quran burning “he will have taken a massive step towards the institution of shariah law in this country”. Pat Buchanan had a recent column where he was demanding Obama do so if necessary – arrest the pastor. I thought that was weird and would feed into the lie. Whatever the president does is used against him. What is wrong with these people?!

What’s wrong these people is that they don’t really care what Pres. Obama does. For all intents and purposes, they don’t like him on principle, and therefore they’re not going to like anything he does on principle, even if what he does is what they want him to do.

Gee, I wonder what this report’s “scond opinion” will be?

It looks like aluminum foil makes a poor substitute for tin foil within the Wackyville millinery.
The Wall of Separation between Church and State would protect us from Sharia law if Bachmann and her theocratic allies hadn’t spent so many years tearing it down. Now they fear what they have wrought.

Let’s go with Old Testament law, since conservatives just love those Ten Commandments.
No more polyester blends.
No more cooking a young kid in the milk from its mother goat.
No more pork products or byproducts, for that matter.
No more women grabbing the testicles of a man fighting her husband.
Kosher for everyone. It will be just like heaven.
Oh, but then I forget, Christians say that all the wacky crap doesn’t apply to Christians. Except for the Ten Commandments, which appear in two places and are not the same in both, but let’s not worry about that. And we’ll keep the Ten Commandments except we won’t follow God’s ordered punishment like death for disobedient children. So Christians are better than Muslims because they don’t follow God’s orders. Interesting.

Seems that one other candidate voted to raise the price of your corn dog and beer at the fair.
That’s right. Michelle voted for the same ballot initiative for clean air and water that Terryl Clark did.
So if that means Terryl raised your taxes so did Michelle Bachmann.
LOCAL SLEUTH LAMONT CRANSTON CLEARS THE AIR ABOUT MICHELE BACHMANN’S ALLEGED SUPPORT FOR RAISING TAXES
By Karl Bremer © 2010
Local sleuth and wealthy young man about town Lamont Cranston today called a press conference to explain the mysterious happenings at the 2008 Game Fair in Anoka, where thousands of attendees and two of Minnesota’s leading outdoor writers were led to believe that Congresswoman Michele Bachmann supported an increase in the state sales tax to support the outdoors and the arts.
“It was The Shadow,” Cranston said, as a collective gasp emanated from the anxious crowd of reporters assembled in the State Capitol.
Cranston, accompanied by his faithful sidekick Margo Lane, explained:
As reported on the http://dumpbachmann.blogspot.com/2010/09/big-taxin-michele-bachmann.html DumpBachmann blog Sept. 12, Bachmann has been attacking her opponent Tarryl Clark for supporting the “Legacy Amendment,” a constitutional amendment that was passed overwhelmingly by Minnesotans—and by voters in the 6th Congressional District—and raised the state sales tax by .375 percent on such items as State Fair corn dogs and children’s back-to-school crayons and backpacks. Clark’s support for the popular amendment has led Bachmann to dub her opponent “Taxin’ Tarryl.”

But an Oct. 23, 2008 column by Star-Tribune outdoor writer Dennis Anderson reported that Bachmann herself publicly supported the amendment at the Game Fair sportsmens’ extravaganza in Anoka that year.
“In fact, Coleman and Bachmann support the proposed amendment, as do most, if not all, of the Minnesota congressional delegation,” Anderson wrote. “Coleman, Bachmann and Franken spoke in August at Game Fair in Anoka of their support of the Clean Water amendment. Coleman and Bachmann also displayed blaze orange “Sportsmen vote yes” placards in their Game Fair booths …”
However, in a Sept. 12 St. Cloud Times article, Bachmann apologist Sergio Gor flatly denied that Bachmann supported the Legacy Amendment:
“The Clark campaign said this week that Bachmann also supported the sales-tax amendment, citing a newspaper article from 2008. But Bachmann spokesman Sergio Gor said she never supported the tax,” the Times reported.
When informed that Bachmann claimed he was lying about her support for the amendment, Anderson responded in an email:
I’m telling the truth, as a thousand or so other people can attest. She expressed her unqualified support for the amendment over the PA system at Game Fair in August 2008. (Star-Tribune outdoor writer) Ron Schara was the interviewer … Of course, that doesn’t mean she didn’t tell other people just the opposite.
Schara, one of Minnesota’s most revered outdoor writers and host of the tv show “Minnesota Bound, concurred:
“I did ask Michele if she supported the constitutional amendment,” Schara said Tuesday. “She very clearly said yes.”

Taxin Bachmann (more)
Don McMillan, president of the Minnesota Outdoor Heritage Alliance, told the Star-Tribune: “I don’t understand why there would be a dispute about it. She had a sign in her booth supporting it.”
But Bachmann mouthpiece Sergio Gor continued to insist that his boss, widely known for her truthfulness, never supported the amendment.
The placard all these people reported seeing in Bachmann’s Game Fair booth, Gor claimed, was simply a misunderstanding. “A lot of times people just come up and throw stuff on our tables,” he said. “If we don’t take it off in time, someone can … snap a picture or see it there.”
So how did thousands of Game Fair attendees and some of Minnesota’s leading sportsmen and outdoor writers come to believe that Bachmann supported the Legacy Amendment, sported a “Vote Yes” sticker and displayed a “Vote Yes” sign in her booth?
“The invisible Shadow has the ability to cloud men’s minds, and make them see and hear things that didn’t really happen,” Cranston explained to the throng of reporters. “He wanted Minnesota’s sportsmen and sportswomen to vote for Michele Bachmann, so he convinced them that Bachmann supported one of the most important ballot initiatives to ever come before them.”

What does it say about a person if they manufacture false tales like this to get people riled up and angry about something which really is no concern? Bachmann is a polarizing and divisive person, a demagogue, who is so far out of her league it isn’t funny.
What does it say about the people who lack the intelligence or honesty to see through the lies and reject such a person?

Don’t leave out the general council of that organization, David Yerushalmi, he was there also and helped with the report. He believes that African-Americans and Women shouldn’t have the vote, that’s among other things. You should look him up along with Frank Gaffney, their fearless leader. Michele is in good company.
