TYT: Bachman Anti-Obama Tweet Shows GOP Is Insane



"Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses Michele Bachman comparing President Barack Obama to a co-pilot that crashed Germanwings Flight 9525.

Former Republican Representative of Minnesota and aspiring super villain Michele Bachmann took to social media and let everyone on her Facebook wall know that she thought the tragedy of the Germanwings Flight 9525 crash that resulted in the needless death of one hundred and fifty people was a perfect metaphor for President Barack Obama and his negotiations with Iran over their future nuclear plans. She went on to write that the survivors of Obama crashing the country would ask why he did what he did, somehow forgetting that there were no survivors in the crash.

Who she thought she was in this metaphor was not mentioned."

She knows full well what she says and should always be held accountable.

...but what worries me the most about this post is not as much the "content" itself...

It's the 695,842 likes, shown at the top of the post. The vast majority of those people actually agree with what this carnival barking puppet says about this or anything of any import. What does THAT tell us?

But you know what's even more bothersome? The more we on the left point it out, the more stubborn her supporters and those on her side become. "The complaint is coming from libruls? Well, that don't count!"

Bachman is such a sick woman (as is the rest of the crazy, nut-job GOP wing). Anyway, does she feel the same way about Bush that after the fact of going into Iraq, we are all asking ourselves why did he do it??? Does that thought even cross her mind??? Is there any sense of outrage from her about that decision??
