For Michele Bachmann, a pattern of getting facts wrong (Mixes up Rev War history in NH)

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s suggestion Saturday that the Revolutionary War began in Concord, N.H., rather than Lexington and Concord, Mass., marks the third time in recent months that the potential GOP presidential hopeful has committed a puzzling gaffe about history and current affairs.

Making her first trek to New Hampshire as a 2012 prospect, Bachmann told a GOP crowd in Concord: “You’re the state where the shot was heard around the world at Lexington and Concord.”

“She makes Sarah Palin look like Count Metternich,” groaned longtime GOP consultant Mike Murphy on Twitter after reading about the Concord confusion.

U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama, already under fire from fellow Democratic candidates
for his supposed inexperience and unguarded comments on American foreign policy issues,
is raising eyebrows again after vowing to call "the president of Canada"

OK, wise guy: Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Not puzzling at all to people who are paying attention. It was troll bait for the media ankle-biters and the PDS retards.

I suspect Michele has a good grasp of US History and Geography, especially after raising five kids and 23 foster kids.

History was not a big deal when it was 0 and his atheist founding fathers giving him a bunch of “negative rights” in all 57 states.

Cary Grant? Ulysses?

[Outlaw Woman]

No offense but why is this being ‘pinged’?

So what? Is this suppose to ‘bash’ Bachmann for making an error?

FWIW? It’s not worth a Sh*t

WRONG! Robert E. Lee.

You’re tricky...

I don’t like her because her voice reminds me of Rocky the flying squirrel.

This is all BS.

Take a peek at Exodus Chapter 4 verse 10.

Now go away.

You can be sure Obama knows more about Cetshwayo than he does Captain John Parker.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I just realized the other day where Obama got the 57 states from

That was quite the Freudian slip, wasn't it? I didn't realize that at first, either. Islam is pretty high in his mind's priority list.

Another Republican Conservative that is scaring the LSM!
