High Schooler Challenges Michelle Bachmann to Debate
The Minnesota Independent ^ | 5/13/11 | Andy Birkey

A high school sophomore from New Jersey is challenging Rep. Michele Bachmann to a debate on civics and the U.S. Constitution. In an open letter to to Bachmann, Amy Myers of Cherry Hill, N.J., said, “I have found quite a few of your statements regarding The Constitution of the United States, the quality of public school education and general U.S. civics matters to be factually incorrect, inaccurately applied or grossly distorted.”

I would take this to be all kids, regardless what side of the political spectrum they claim to fall on.

there is no upside for bachmann to do this. only downside.

Exactly. If she were to 'win' the debate, well, her opponent was a high school sophomore. If she were to lose.....well!

Like a fool, I clicked on the link to the article.

There were over 300 comments that followed (I only read a hundred or so) and I’d estimate that 99% were very anti Bachmann. Comments were very vitriolic and nasty about her. The posters were rabidly far left liberal freaks.

Reading the comments, I thought that this must be what Daily Kos and the DU look like everyday. (I’ve never been on either of those two sites)

Amy should do obama, reid, and pelosi
at her circus before she gets to the main
event with Michelle Bachmann. It shouldn't
take long, and it would be like running a few
cartoons before a feature movie.

“Amy should do obama”

If Amy took on the president for his myriad fabrications regarding health reform, she’d clean his clock. Of course his lies were so flagrant, shameless and indefensible, it would be like taking candy from a baby.
