Bachmann’s Fundraising Whopper

In several urgent fundraising appeals, Rep. Michele Bachmann falsely claims that biased “liberal judges” redrew her congressional district “in retaliation for repeatedly standing up to President Obama.” The truth is that only two of the five judges were Democratic appointees, and Bachmann’s Minnesota district has become even more Republican than it was before.

It’s true that a bipartisan panel of judges redrew district lines and placed the town where Bachmann lives in an abutting district represented by a Democrat. But she has chosen to again run in the 6th District, the one she has represented since 2007. And she doesn’t even have to move to do that.

Bachmann has sent out several appeals that carry the same message:

Bachmann email, May 11: A major development has just occurred in my race for the U.S. House of Representatives and I’m asking for your immediate help…

…You see, in retaliation for repeatedly standing up to President Obama on the national stage, liberal judges have redrawn the lines of my Minnesota Congressional District to try and wipe me off of the political map once and for all.

Their bias was so obvious they even gerrymandered my home — where my wonderful husband Marcus and I live –- entirely out of my District and placed it into one held by a six-term Democrat incumbent!

Does she even know what truth is?

2. Well, she could run in the 4th where her house is.

Good luck against Betty, Michele.

4. Betty would mop her up, no problem.

3. And the sad part is

the loonies like her and West and Walsh got elected to office. And then Dems keep saying "well ignore them". Yet they are like deadly poison in Congress.

5. If we offer the Swiss

two first round picks will they take her still?

6. I wish.

That whole thing about her Swiss nationality is funny, because she was applying for dual citizenship for her two youngest children. Planning an escape Michele?

7. if only the very very holy were not caught (so often) being such obvious liars

it would be easier for me to respect them.
