2. GREAT idea!

I'm on it.

Thank you for the call list!

Please, everyone call to register their disgust with Bachman's red scare tactics.

[grannylib]

3. Thanks, please share the numbers with folks outside of DU as well

We need to FLOOD her offices, all three of them, with calls registering our outrage at this SHIT.
She sure puts the lie to the notion that it's the BLONDES who are bimbos. Sheesh.

[ultraist]

7. I posted your list on DailyKos

I'm NCDem Amy there (and most other sites).

Thanks again!

We should remember that although we are registering our disgust, it's important to be polite in doing so.

[grannylib]

10. Thanks, and agreed! I was shaking, I was so mad, but I was polite to the woman

who answered the phone. She got the message loud and clear. There are no words for how disgusted I am with this woman Bachmann...what an embarrassment to Minnesota.

18. all 3 mailboxes are full. call tomorrow

4. Help tinklenberg if you can

All Politics are LOCAL.

Every single Republican & GOP McBush candidate on the down ticket during this election cycle must be voted down or out of office.

6. self delete, my mistake

[Dustlawyer]

8. I just called Bachman's office after hours and

"this user's mailbox is full." Way to go, keep it up! She is not serving her District or the American people with this shit so we might as well keep calling her to express our views.

9. Fine, lets have a review of anit-american sentiment....

But let's be careful how we define "American." To me, American values are The Bill of Rights, the Constitution, Equal Rights, and real freedom, not the kind you can buy at Wal Mart. See how many people like Bachman show a shred of respect for any of these things.

Anti-American my ass. If you define American values as Bachman-style values, well then you bet your ass I'm anti-American.

11. I thought Anita Bryant had left the Political Scene -

I guess they dug her up, wrapped her skin around Jerry Falwell's decrepit soul and shoved her into Minnesota's chamber. If this woman isn't summarily REMOVED from her seat by an outraged public, it would be the bigger outrage.

[bobd0]

12. I watched Hardball in utter disbelief.

I became so angry my wife changed the channel. IS THIS THE FASCIST BULLSHIT THESE REPUBLICAN SCUMBAGS HAVE DETERMINED WILL WIN THIS ELECTION FOR THEM?

If so, and if it does work, then I hope McCain, that vapid, immoral, shameless coward SUFFERS THE SAME FATE AS WM HENRY HARRISON AND THIS COUNTRY WINDS UP WITH PRESIDENT PALIN AND ALL THAT ENTAILS, BECAUSE IF THESE DISGUSTING FASCIST TACTICS WORK THEN THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE, AS A NATION, DESERVE.

[paulkienitz]

14. on another note, why can't Tweety learn to allow for the satellite delay?

...and let the person reply before talking over them.

When someone comes out with a line like that, the first thing you should do is give them plenty of rope.

15. second take on this - watched full show with Pat etc...

The McCain campaign has enlisted their FARRRRRR right religious allies to try to stem some of the energy loss from the educated Republicans who are moving towards Obama - and though formed in desperation, it does on some level work if you get sucked in. They want to make this fear so palpable and the emotion so tenuous, that it flows to those around it without having to do anything else. The key?

It erases talk about real issues.

I also think they are trying to spark a reaction from Democrats themselves instead of the candidates. Barack Obama has been unflappable (so if you can't ignite the candidate, go after the supporters.)

Best thing WE can do is NOT pick up the rope they are laying down - if we do, we are in a tug-of-war with them. You ignore their rope.

And we lay down our own rope:
The economy.
The mismanagement of the Republicans in office.
The lack of adult-behavior during this economic crisis.
Corruption and corporate ownership of government by the Republicans over the middle class' needs.

Smile and look at their evil taunting as the desperation it is - and laugh at it. Laugh out loud. They are so ridiculously outmatched in this election they will try anything. Laugh at them. That is the only way to deal with them. They are in so much fear of the tidalwave washing over their old politics, we should be laughing all the way to November 4th.

16. There are no words . . .

:wow:

[Heather MC]

17. Tweety certainly gave her all the rope she needed to hang herself with

I was getting mad at Tweety before I realized what he was doing
Isn't she up for re-election?

[GlassGirl321]

19. I was so damn angry when I watched this

that I am STILL shaking. I was screaming at the tv. I called every number on that list and ALL of her mailboxes are full, but that's not going to stop me. I plan on complaining and expressing my outrage to anyone who will listen concerning this so-called public servant. I am SO totally disgusted and repulsed by the Republican party and their behavior. This crap they are shoveling to us is SO transparent that even my 89-year old father-in-law (a lifelong Republican and WWII Veteran) can see it for what it is and told me he will be voting for a Democrat for the 1st time in his life. He'll be complaining also and let me tell ya, that man is RELENTLESS and very out-spoken when he is angry.

[ultraist]

21. I was too...

I knew Bachman was a lunatic but THIS?

I go from being angry at the hate they are stirring up toward Obama and many of us, to being worried that violence will break out. God forbid.

These people, like Sarah Palin and Bachman are playing with fire. Both are ill equiped to lead.

Hopefully, this recent idiocy will cost Bachman her Congressional seat.

[bkkyosemite]

20. We must yank that rope and scream and yell over this attitude because she will enrage her base and

Palin's base of dangerous radical racist religious zealot violent people. Who don't want to lose after years and years of having the WH they don't want to lose at any cost..We must speak out tactfully and adamately!

[Number23]

22. Ultraist, you are becoming *THE* DU video guy/gal!

This is astounding. The gall of this woman sitting there with that fake, hideous, evil smile on her face while she calls for an "investigation" of Obama and Democratic members of Congress for their "anti-American" activities should be enough to send a chill down ANY American's spine.

I don't care what your level of education is or what political stripe you wear. Rhetoric like this has shown up in other times all over the world and it has never been good for the country in which it was heard. She should be ashamed. And absolutely run out of Washington.

[krkaufman]

23. Chris Matthews was effing reprehensible during this segment

He failed to challenge Bachman on any of her assertions, failed to ask her how many people had been killed by The Weather Underground, and didn't ask Bachman one question regarding G. Gordon Liddy's part in the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.

John McCain has a much closer connection to terrorists who actually killed Americans than does Obama, and the only damn person brave enough to broach the topic, peripherally, is Dave Letterman?

[Caretha]

24. This woman is so going to be

pwnd by the next congress. You think we're angry, if she should be re-elected, just wait to see what the new Democratic Congress comes up with for punishment. Someone up post said she was playing with fire, this low-life witch is about to become a crispy critter. Really dumb, really really dumb. Grass meet lawnmower.

[Thor_MN]

25. Bat shit crazy...

She's had so much kool-aid that it amazes me she finds her way back and forth between here and DC. I glad she isn't my rep, but I have to venture into her territory next weekend. It will be interesting to see if my conservative brother-in-law brings up politics. I'm not going to be the first to talk, but if he fires the first shot, watch out...

[dhpgetsit]

26. Unfortunately she had a 41 to 32.5 lead in the polls as of 10/12/08.

But I have to believe that won't last long!

28. I just read over at The Huffington Post

that a campaign to censure Rep. Michelle Bachmann over her remarks has been launched.
You can sign the petition at this link - http://www.censurebachmann.com/
I just signed it and there are already 35,076 signatures.
