We need to know if Ted ever baby sat young Obama!
If you think talking about John Wayne’s parents having once lived in the town is coverage, then it isn’t easily as explained as you think because she was specific.
Ummm, I think Bachman just showed us with her latest gaffe.
Wayne wasn't born there at all, but in Winterset, closer to Des Moines and moved to California when young.
It was a silly mistake, but it's the sort of thing that late night comedians get hold of and drive into the ground, and they are the people who do a lot to form public opinion.
Perhaps Chris Wallace shouldn't have phrased things as did, but his was a legitimate question.
Bachman could have won some kudos if she'd handled it better.
Knowing when to respond to questions that may offend one is tricky, but this was a case when she could have benefited from responding directly.
Wallace did NOT ask a legitimate question.
Have you ever heard another Presidential candidate in their life be asked by a main stream reporter if they were a flake before? If so, do give us all that link.
I can see Wallace asking if she felt marginalized because of being thought of as a Tea Party candidate? That would have been the reporter type of correction for that situation, not asking about being a flake.
For the most part they confound Pentecostalism with Evangelical. Although it looks like a petty mistake, it's really pretty major. As every Christian knows, an Evangelical Christian is just another Protestant. A Pentecostal is probably a Protestant, but there are also Roman Catholic Pentecostals ~ and though they are pretty quiet about it these days, they still exist.
But it's not the Catholics who are the target ~ rather it's the Jewish voters who may be put off by the term Evangelical imagining it means jumping and dancing during religious services, or speaking in tongues.
Apparently the leftwingtard press is of the impression this next election could see a massive defection of the Jewish vote from it's traditional grounding on the Democrat party's left.
Your older Jewish voters might even think Evangelical always refers to German Lutherans ~
Of course none of this is fair, but the press is interjecting erroneous religious affiliations into the blame name game this time. They know what they're doing. I can smell their fear.
Rather than attacking Chris Wallace, it's time to come down hard on the Leftwing blogosphere, the NYT, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times and other and sundry Leftwing propaganda mills.
I think Michele is all growed up and can take care of this.
What we need to do this evening is pick a Leftwingtard publication and go to it's internet presence. Sign up as a member. Pick one of their BS stories and attack them in the comments threads. Take the battle to the enemy and shove it down their dirty little throats.
Jews are smarter than you think they are.
Do they vote for the pro-Israel Christian that may or may not speak in tongues or...
Do they vote for Obama who threw them under the bus and in addition funds Hamas weapons to the toon of at least half a billion a year?
She speaks maybe in tongues, that one gets us killed. I think they have a clue as to what is going on.
Thanks for saying it, I agree.........people need to lighten up.
Speaking of movie cowboys did you know that Gene Autry's wife was a member of the same church that Bill Clinton's baby daddy and mother were! (albeit in different states). And there in lies an interesting tale.
No gaff is as interesting as that.
And I was told how Magic Johnson really got his HIV, so what?
Nom the Great American Gacy is a sinker my friend.
In that core area they pay little attention to differentiation among Christians ~ to say nothing of Protestants.
You and I both know few Christians differentiate between the Reform folks and the Orthodox folks.
There's a lot of reciprocity in these attitudes.
According to IMDB, the Duke was born in Winterset, Iowa.
Lots of Christians, including Catholics like myself love Jews.
That isn’t the issue, it is would they support Hitler 2 in Obama who has thrown them under the bus and financed their enemies?
Bachmann is toast now though. That was too stupid a point about Wayne to mess up.
Do they vote pro Israel christian?
No!
They vote Democrat. Don’t ask me why. I haven’t a clue. So maybe you can tell me why the vast percentage of Jews voted for Obama. And, I promise, will vote for him in the next election. I really want to know. Cause I can’t figure it out.
At the same time you and I know plenty of people who don't approve of dancing during prayer.
End of story.
That's the purpose the MSM has ~ to deprive Republicans of the Jewish vote in certain key states.
They actually imagine they are going to take what they did in 08, and they don't want to lose a bit of it.
I'm trying to tell you what the Democrat managers think ~ not whether or not Jews are smart ~ but this business of voting repeatedly for Democrats definitely needs an explanation.
BS, most voters remember Gacy.
They care a Presidential candidate doesn’t know the factual differences between THE John Wayne and Gacy.
What mistakes would she make on foreign policy if she is so poor in her own prepared speeches?
I can understand your effor to defend him -BUT
The other side pre-approves their questions in interviews.
If he was going to ask this question - he should heave told her.
It was stupid. And no - he wouldn’t have had the balls to do the same to Pelosi.
BS. We’ll see come election time. I still want to know why Jews vote Democrat. I get all kind of explanations. All over the place, mostly making excuses for them. No Excuses. Sooner or later I’m gonna get tired of making excuses for your dumb ass choices. It’s looking to me like these American Jews have a screw loose. I make it a point not to talk politics with the few Jews I know. I getting to the point where I’m gonna call them on some of their STUPID BS!!
“Apparently. she didn’t know that Marion Morrison was John Wayne’s real name.”
He was born in a small Iowa town; have driven past it numerous times on I-80, but cannot remember its name.
