High schooler challenges Bachmann to a duel of knowledge
http://minnesotaindependent.com/81476/high-schooler-challenges-bachmann-to-debate-on-u-s-constitution

Amy Myers, High School sophomore, issued an open letter, challenging Rep. Michelle Bachmann to a "Public Forum Debate and/or Fact Test on The Constitution of the United States, United States History and United States Civics."

Will she have the guts to lecture a High schooler? What could she possibly be afraid of? :B

5. The fun part would be in watching Bachman's handlers try to set the rules.
You know they'd want the questions (and answers!) ahead of the debate.

6. She'd go for it in a heartbeat
If the judges were Clarende Thomas, Wayne Lapierre and Bill O'Really.

10. The Teabagger version
Where Christianity is America's official (or should that be "offical"?) religion and the 2nd Amendment ends with the words "including bazookas".

9. Are you kidding???
After this 16 yr old wipes the floor with the intellectually challenged Rep. Bachmann, she could demand an apology and her resignation from Congress!!! Bachmann could never hope to challenge in any factual debate on US History or the Constitution. Bachmann's only hope would be in US Civics where she sees them violated everyday by her colleagues in the House!!!

12. "In that case, I challenge you to a battle of wits."
"For the princess?"

*nod*

"To the DEATH?!"

*nod*

"I accept."

13. You can't engage in a battle of wits with someone who's unarmed!
And you got to admit that Michelle Bachman is a couple cuckoos short of a clock!

14. I bet she would whip the kid's azz in tax law

I just don't like smart alec kids. They think they know
more than the grown ups. Don't have a clue about the real
world, zero knowledge of finance and investing, have never
traveled to Asia where 75% of people in the world live and
never had to face IRS audit. So the kid has crammed a few
text books and thinks he is sooooooo smart.

17. Unlike the rest of you, I think this is very disrespectful
to high school students everywhere. Could we get a 5th grader instead?

18. She will bow out, she's not smarter than a 5th grader, so why would she
debate a high schooler?

20. The kid wins either way...
If the kid beats Bachmann, then it highlights Bachmann lack of intelligence.

if Bachmann wins, then it highlights that she willfully lies about everything.
