Michele Bachmann subject of doctored video
The Daily Caller ^ | 08/29/2011 | Amanda Carey

Posted on 08/29/2011 7:42:39 PM PDT by martosko

Ever a magnet for controversy, Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann is once again the subject of a vicious rumor. A doctored video surfaced this week that appears to show Bachmann asking an audience, “Who likes white people?”

Accusations of racism followed, as blogs and websites including Wonkette used the video as evidence of Bachmann’s supposedly extreme views.

Alice Stewart, a spokesperson for Bachmann’s presidential campaign, explained to The Daily Caller: “She said, ‘Who likes wet people?’ It was pouring down rain that night.”

It’s stuff like this from the commie pigs that has convinced me that we’ve got to start deporting some of the piggies that were born here. The piggies who doctored this are not Americans. They are bottom-feeding, freeloading scum. And that includes the Wonkho.

No, they treat them poorly because they are Pro-Life. A woman in politics, Republican or Democrat, is only allowed to succeed past a certain level if she pays homage to the bloody altar of “choice”.

The idea of a Pro-Life woman President scares the Feminazis and their supporters worst than anything else because they know that a majority of the population would love to overturn Roe and end the horrendous butchery of partial-birth abortion.

They have to stop Sarah and Michelle. They’ll do it any way they can.

Don’t men support abortion more than women? That’s what I’ve seen in polls.

Rednecks of any color have respect for rednecks of any other color.

Male support for/against abortion is (to women) a completely different issue than what women say about it.

Men who are “pro-choice” are appreciated and respected like Clinton was/is, regardless of how despicably they act towards women as individuals. Men who don’t, are written of as male chauvinist pigs, bigots, women-haters, etc...

But Pro-Life women. Especially a Pro-Life women who are powerful on the political stage are much harder to marginalize and ignore. It is exactly that point that makes them so dangerous to the Feminazis and their self-assumed positions of authority.

No male, not even Perry, West or Cain, could effectively marginalize the NAGs. Sarah and Michelle, as living breathing role models of successful female mothers and warriors, can.

That’s the threat. That’s what they fear.

‘____________never do this to shrillary.’

Got that right.

Almost nothing excites me more than the possibility of having a GOP woman become the first USA Lady President.

To a certain extent I agree with your premise. I do get a bit uncomfortable when we explain away his devotion to anti-US and pro our enemies policies though.

I think you can only explain away so much with this guy.

Are his views really that different than Gore’s or Kerry’s? The sad fact is that Obama represents the mainstream of the Democratic Party. More of them say he’s too conservative rather than too liberal. His base wanted single payer socialized health care. His base wanted all of the troops out of Afghanistan by 2009. His ideas are nothing new. He’s FDR on economics and Carter on foreign policy.

Carter has accused Israel of maintaining an apartheid regime. Obama hasn’t gone that far but it’s clear he’s no friend. He is simply copying the playbook.

I hope they keep this up right until the time it gets Obamas ass kicked out of the White House..............

You are absolutely correct about this. The left does this to all conservatives. It goes with the territory.

Well, to stick up just a little bit for Ron Paul, that crazy Robert Morrow who posted that ad is a Ron Paul supporter and Ron Paul certainly should have condemned the action but there is no evidence Paul is directly behind it, as far as I know.

Obama is extremely inept, except in one area. He is particularly adept at tearing down the United States. This is the guy that goes on a diplomatic trip to humble himself on behalf of the United States, and apologize for the crimes of his own homeland.

What’s different about him, is that he was probably born in Kenya, moved to Asia to attend a Islamic school as a young boy, getting pumped clear full of anti-US rhetoric. He returned to the United States, lived in near poverty, mingled with people who had a chip on their shoulder concerning our nation, and moved up the food chain to education institutions preaching radical anti-US dogma, and developing relationships with some of the worst of the worst of U.S. haters as an adult.

He was doing this sort of thing right up until he was elected to office.

He has insulted our best allies. As you say, he is no friend of Israel. One can only guess what he’s doing behind the scenes in full, but we know it isn’t focused on making Israel safe, or supporting it’s existence in any way shape or form.

I am a firm believer that his excess spending has been with the express intent to place this nation so deeply in jeopardy, that it will no longer be able to influence events around the world.

He hasn’t one clue how to increase business. I’m not even convinced he really wants to. Once again, as you say, he is a Lefty at his core, and isn’t fully convinced that business is critical, jobs are necessary. The government is the sugar daddy, so what’s the big deal about private sector employment.

We’re probably a lot luckier than we know, to be involved in several war zones around the world. If we weren’t, this guy would have butchered the military.

His cancellation of the F22 program will affect this nation negatively for the next thirty years. His cancellation of parts of the space program will set us back ten to fifteen years. His attempts to amnesty 300,000 illegals, will affect this nation forever. I say that, because this is just the start.

This guy is different than Carter. Carter was a total idiot, but he at least thought he was doing what was right. This guy knows damn well he’s destroying us.

At a time when China is ramping up, Obama is tearing us down.

You watch as he mothballs about half our carrier groups. That would mean that China would within a few short years have half our carrier groups.

We’re giving the green light to our adversaries to become adventuresome. As usual, our kids will pay the price for that.

We need someone with some bedrock Conservative principles in the White House. If not, we’re going to watch as our guys make cuts that will cause great harm to our nation, while leaving other things that should be cut alone.

We’re in a very precarious situation here.

I appreciate the note of agreement, but the case was made that our women do seem to get an extra dose of hate from the Left. Even though I do believe the men get slandered too, it does seem the women do get ‘special’ treatment.

Thanks for the note. I appreciate it.

They posted it at DU too. Here's the link. For a while many fell for it, but common sense ultimately won out.
