There's a joke there, I'll let everyone else proceed....

But I promised to be nice this evening.

Good riddance to another freepbag.

She hates me so I always say hello but she went over a line with this post.

Charging umpty-thousand $$$ to right-wing nutso groups to spew her word salads, just like Sarah Palin is right now.

And she'll be at least a semi-regular on Faux "news."

her pic, William.. Thank you!

Don't know if you've seen this..

This is one writer who did post her pic but it's an excellent commentary on one michele bachmann. I have it on my FB page..

"Fuck Your Religious Beliefs, Sincerely — An Open Letter to Michele Bachmann -"

snip//

"There are very few words that can accurately describe just what malady you have made yourself on the United States of America. You are a symptom of a great illness that has always managed to make life insufferable for one group or another. Americans it seems have always had to grapple with a group among their ranks that just can’t keep their God out of everybody else’s lives, and while some have been able to play the role of theologian-cum-politician with at least some grace and an empathetic ear, you are simply the card-carrying bigot of your time; the female George Wallace, and I’m sick and tired, madam, of having to genuflect to the First Amendment every time you let forth from your mouth hole with the kind of backwards, antiquated and just plain mean pabulum that you try to pass off as intellectual dialogue. So I’m going to call upon my own First Amendment privileges now, and while I harbor no delusions that this letter will reach your dead eyes, nor that it will be comprehended in that vacuum that rests upon your neck, but I write this letter on behalf of everyone who is fed up with God, Jesus and the Holy Scripture being used both as a cudgel to bludgeon people with, and as a shield against any criticism, no matter how justified or earned. -

end snip//

The point I’m trying to make is a simple one — religious beliefs have never been, nor will they ever be an acceptable basis for hurting other people or infringing on their basic human rights. Religious beliefs that don’t promote hurting a whole class or subset of people — right on, no problem there. But oppressive policy is oppressive policy, and it doesn’t matter whether you use God, Jesus, or Yoda to justify it. -

Much MORE..

I posted on his site that it was excellent and thanked James Schlarmann and he wrote back.. "Thanks for reading, James".

I love the closing.

bachmann dead to rights. And, can be a little bit funny while he's doing it.

"And you know what? You’re in luck! There’s a place like that, here on Earth, and we even have a ton of frequent flyer miles to and from that country, so you might be able to get your ticket cheap or free, if you don’t mind parachuting in."

A special thanks to James Schlarmann.

Beautifully put.

I would not have been so eloquent. When I hear names like Bachmann I just want to cuss. James Schlarmann did it soo much better.

You're Welcome, mdbl

Thank you EarlG!

I like to tell the Bachmans of the world to re-read Matthew...

Needs to get a life

Bachman is an idiot

Great minds and all that jazz

Her claims do not make any sense

in an alternate universe and they seem to like it there . Guess it's all soft, warm and fluffy. lol

And it's really annoying to those of us trying to live in the real world.

The only thing I'd change is annoying, that seems too tame a word for the insanity.

the 1% minority has done a bang up job "bullying" the majority of the American people. So it is possible.

The only problem here is the LGBT minority is not bullying anyone by choice but pushing hard and not allowing ourselves to be bullied by the majority anymore. This is about EQUAL protection under the law, NOT special protection under the law.

She is an idiot. As a gay man every time I see her husband my gaydar goes off telling me he is at best bisexual and has engaged in same gender sex more than once in his life.

But the ones that are the most homophobic are usually the closet cases.

They are only a minority by a head-count.

In terms of dollars -- which clearly is the only thing that matters to Americans these days -- they're still in the lead.

Baggers just looooooooooove playing the victim, don't they?

Remember when Matthew Shepard tied a bunch of guys to a fence post and beat them unconscious and left them to die?

Oh wait; that was the other way around, wasn't it?

Fortunately, she has a hat (with a propeller) to cover it up.

You crack me up Lizzie..

picture it cracked my screen!

Itls all about I got the money. This is one piece of work. Known her for many years,watched her change with the Political ebb and flow,she is a person who has remade her image as the landscape changed in Region 6. Talk about a Soulless creature,she is one. Her Hubby is another real Fake. Take a look around the country,you will see were ever the Mega-Churches flourish,the local area,for the most part,are represented by some Funndie-Rethug-Bagger. Bachmann's District is one of the areas that has three of these groups with an average of 38k per. And on the West side,mostly Catholics and very conservative Evangelical Lutherans.

Talk about the Church Ladies,this Region has more than it's fair share. And as for the Bachmann's,it's all about the money. In Minnesota,when you leave political office,you keep all of your campaign funds. Ding Ding!!!!

Why, in the 1860s they bullied us into setting them free. And it caused a big ass war. It cost like $79 billion. https://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RS22926.pdf

If I were a .1 percenter I guess I'd really have it rough.

Stupid woman. Glad you're leaving the House after this session. Should be interesting seeing you and Sarah Palin competing for First Lady of the Teabagger twits.

I am not gay and don't have any close family members who are gay (unlike you, you insensitive, inconsiderate, hypocritical ignorant clod), and I do NOT feel "bullied" whatsoever. The only people who should feel "bullied" by your and your party's hateful outdated bigoted bullshit are the GLBT people you and your ilk are targeting and going after. You know, like your own stepsister of the past forty-five years who's written you an impassioned, poignant letter about how horrible your stance makes her feel.

And frankly, the more I think about it, the more I realize that WE, the American people, are the ones being bullied by the likes of you and your damned party.

(unless, of course, they're directing that word toward someone else; then it's an expression of godliness)

the American people.

I keep reading international stories where people speak as if LGBT citizens are not part of the people. It is really, really bothering me. I am glad to see your comment, thank you.

The gay community HAVE so bullied the American people? Community takes a singular verb, i.e., "the community HAS". I know, I know, it's the least of her sins…but let me have my little snark.

I would say that women is an idiot but I don't want to insult idiots.

Michele, please. Adults listening. Don't be so silly.

...the one who either ran screaming into or out of a ladies' room because there were gay women in it?

Bachmann is fucked up.

Oh, wait, that's the exact opposite of what happens.

a person in my life, as these Republicans continue to become bolder and bolder about their prejudices. Seriously, I don't know how this woman butters her toast in the morning without the use of rubber safety knives.

Every time the assholes want to have some fun, we have to come in and ruin it. Why can't we tolerate their intolerance? See what hypocrites we are?

and I've love to see the same standard applied to Sara Palin

So, are y'all going to bully them some more? Because I think they're just this close >||< to mental breakdowns

I doubt Batshit Bachmann will enlighten us.

Substitute "religious" for "gay" everywhere in her little tantrum, and you'd have a much more accurate picture of things.

about who the bully is!

I can't wait for her to get out of politics.

What she speaks for is a handful of fundie xtians who want to warp the bible in a way that allows them to hate. These people are welcome to hate but their hate should not infringe on others.

She's a disgrace to this country.

Wow. That's a whole heap of stupid there. I need to watch "Cosmos" tonight in order to reboot my brain.

She really is a hopelessly stupid bigot isn't she?

for you not posting the picture of her. She always raises my blood pressure in a bad way.

I guess us fighting back against discrimination and murder and being beaten to a pulp and/or raped is considered "bullying" simply because we are tired of it and standing up for ourselves more now....according to her warped logic. She needs a reality check.

Does she really believe the things she says? I already had her pegged for the most ignorant politician in America but she continues to blow me away with the things that come out of her mouth.

And the face hears a voice whimpering from the darkness beyond the boot - presumably from the person wearing it: "Stop bullying me!"

Said no one of sound mind, ever! Bachman and Palin may very well cause me to get tombstoned, all in one week after 14 years with a clean record on DU. I've found that I can no longer remain tolerant of this much ignorance coming from women who should damn well know better.

n/t

Bachmann and the Christian Right: "Stop bullying us, we have every right to deny you your Constitutional Rights!"

These people are so totally fucking stupid it hurts to think about it.

what were we thinking to be bothered by that. those poor, scared little straight boys!
we should really pay them reparations, the trauma of being found not guilty must have been hell on them. that trial, all those nasty things the librul media said. Just because they were true doesn't mean they should have been said!

dear sweet god what is this country doing?
How can the "right" keep getting this insane and no one in the media bats an eye?!
