Sue Jeffers says she is going to encourage Michele Bachmann to run against Amy Klobuchar. Jeffers repeats the "armed and dangerous" quote.

MB: I feel like I have a front row seat on history right now. I cannot believe what I'm seeing. This is our country. We love our country and I'm watching our freedoms slip out the door every day. Just this week with the G-20 and what President Obama is wanting to do to cede American sovereignty to transnational global authorities makes your head spin and we as members of congress have to bind him down with that authority, we cannot agree to these things that he is wanting to do, because it will continue to take away freedom from individuals in the United States.

SJ: But you know what I'm seein' Congresswoman Bachmann is that it's like Nancy Pelosi in the house and Harry Reid in the Senate, it's like they have the er President Obama said here's my agenda, you get it passed and everybody just votes yes.

MB: Well not everybody. The liberals who are with Nancy Pelosi, and are jumping to Nancy Pelosi's tune are voting yes.

It goes on... Later on she discusses Americorps, and is concerned that this is really "re-education camps for young people - and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward."

1. I just loves me some Congresswoman Batshit

She never fails to amuse.

Palin/Bachmann 2012 !!!!

[MrPerson]

2. Camp is cool. I hope they have a campfire.

[MineralMan]

3. Yes, please! Have her run against Amy!

That'll get her out of the House and back into private life. She barely won her reactionary district, and would lose hugely statewide. So...Run, Michelle, Run!

[pattmarty]

23. You want her back in "private life"? You are gonna put her..................

...........out into the general public with us stoopid peons??? C'mon, I live in Arkansas with my sister with my grade school diploma and I'm gonna have to compete with her for a job??:sarcasm:

[lolly]

4. Shows what's on their mind

When I hear something like this from that bizarre creature, I get chills. Watching them for a while has convinced me that whenever they accuse "libs" of something, they are revealing their own plans, or at least thought processes.

Does anyone doubt for a minute that, given the authority, this woman would round up every one of us and send us off to be "re-educated?"

Why would Obama's actions in Europe trigger this idea in her, unless she was obsessed with it already?

[jberryhill]

26. Precisely

That's a broadly applicable principle.

It's amazing how many people will tell you exactly what they are thinking this way.

5. Bachman: The Poster Girl For Re-Education Camps

This McCarthyist Loony is the best advertisement for interning Republic Party Psychopaths I've seen yet. The Republic Party has long ago ceased to be a political organization. It's nothing but a cast of cartoon characters. The sooner they're all rounded up and put some place where they can no longer hurt themselves and others - especially America - the better.

[Bolo Boffin]

14. Don't send your kiddies to Obama's re-education camps!!!!!!!11!!!!1!

Send them to Jesus camp instead.

[scarletwoman]

22. I sincerely hope you're not serious.

"Rounding people up" for their political beliefs? Are you sure you're on the right board?

[RBInMaine]

6. She's a NAZI FASCIST NUTJOB ! Don't even bother with this LUNATIC !

[bjobotts]

45. She craves attention and attention whores make her think she's relevant

[bjobotts]

46. She's getting the name recognition alright, even being crazy and stupid

[omega minimo]

7. California über alles

I am governor jerry brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president

Carter power will soon go away
I will be fhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school

California über alles
über alles california

Zen fascists will control you
100% natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face
Close your eyes, cant happen here
Big bro on white horse is near
The hippies wont come back you say
Mellow out or you will pay

California über alles
über alles california

Now it is 1984
Knock knock at your front door
Its the suede/denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece

Come quietly to the camp
Youd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Dont you worry, its only a shower
For your clothes heres a pretty flower

Die on organic poison gas
Serpents eggs already hatched
You will croak, you little clown
When you mess with president brown

California über alles
über alles california

[Bicoastal]

8. Dead Kennedies, never mind.

Amazing, so much anger at Jerry Brown, after Reagan and before Schwarzenegger.

[omega minimo]

17. had to be there. guess you missed the humor....

[JenniferJuniper]

28. That's "Dead Kennedys"

And there should always be room for Jello!

[omega minimo]

41. LOL

:hi:

[bluestateguy]

9. I would normally be opposed to such an idea

but then when you listen to people like Bachmann, you start thinking that yes, some people DO need some re-education.

[Bicoastal]

10. Hush, comrade...

...or you shall expose our secret to the Lurking Freepers!

Soon they all shall be made into soap, muahahaha!

[Botany]

11. AmeriCorps = Transnational Global Authority

AmeriCorps is a U.S. federal government program partnering with non-profit organizations, public agencies, and faith-based organizations that was created under
President Bill Clinton by the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993.<1> More than 70,000 individuals currently join AmeriCorps annually, totaling more
than 500,000 past and current members since 1994. The work done by these groups ranges from public education to environmental clean-up.
AmeriCorps is a division of the Corporation for National and Community Service, which also oversees the Senior Corps and Learn and Serve America. Collectively,
these three programs represent a total of more than 2 million members in service each year. AmeriCorps itself is split into three main divisions, including AmeriCorps
State and National, VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America), and NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps).
Research has illustrated that AmeriCorps programs have a variety of effects on civic education, education, and public service.


she really is batshit

[NOW tense]

12. Fear blah blah blah, fear, fear, fear.......n/t

[Rashel]

15. It's sad that her hyperbole spurs on the mentally unstable.

[NOW tense]

19. I don't think I am mentally ill.

:hi:

[caraher]

13. Wouldn't re-education require education in the first place?

There's a reason the RW prefers "truthiness" to facts. Any kind of rational education would raise the specter of "re-education" to the authoritarian types, for whom "education" is the "3 Rs" plus indoctrination.

[Butch350]

16. Shouldn't individuals take some kind of mental test before running for office?

[dchristie11]

18. Capitol Idea

And they should be able to pass some basic, fundamental civics test before being given a voter's registration card. That alone would keep most delusional Republic Party goof-balls out of voting booths and their candidates safely out of high office...like it should be. At least, they'd have a far harder time being able to pull off a Frankin-Coleman fisaco or a 2001 horror story like the Bush-SCOTUS coup de etat ever again.

[scarletwoman]

21. Wrong! NO tests for voting rights! People died to make voting rights unrestricted.

You counter ignorance with more education, not suppression of rights.

In a free democracy, voting is a right, not a privilege.

sw

[provis99]

32. you are wrong; voting is not a right, it is a privilege

Citizens under 18 are not allowed to vote; convicted felons in many states are not allowed to vote. Citizens who do not meet residency requirements are not allowed to vote. Many states are making it the law that those citizens who lack a government issued photo ID are not allowed to vote. In the past, poll taxes and tests were used to legally and constitutionally strip citizens of their voting privileges. You have been seriously misinformed.

[dchristie11]

47. Wrong.... So Sorry

The original authors of The Constitution certainly didn't agree with you.

They were obviously against universal suffrage. And it wasn't necessarily because they were for protecting the social hegemony of rich white men.

It was because in those days - in general - it was mainly the landed white gentry who were the only people who could read. Therefore, they were the only people who were qualified to make reasoned judgements at the ballot box based on their abiltiy to access necessary information.

Why should someone who thinks that The Earth is 6000 years old, that we need to provide unconditional military and financial support to Israel in order to hasten Armageddon and the return of Jesus and that Saddam hid the WMDs in Syria be allowed to vote? That's bloody idiotic and not what the founders had in mind when they established a "right" to vote.

It's like handing a drunken child the keys to your car..only on a more global scale. We saw the consequences in 2001 and 2004 and it wasn't pretty - was it?

It should be stopped. Holders of a voter registration card should be subject to the same minimal standards of those which we apply to immigrants taking the oath of citizenship..nothing less.

Even that bar is far lower than it should be.

But at least it's better than nothing...which is what we have now.

[livefreest]

50. huh? you sound like Michelle Bachmann

[Bette Noir]

20. The horror... Green energy, support for education, health care...

What is this country coming to?

On the other hand, Ms. Bachmann may be giving us a free, easy-to-use diagnostic test for paranoia. If she makes sense to you, you have it.

[bjobotts]

43. Yeah, people are delusional if they don't want to protect the wealthies Americans at the cost of the

rest of us. "I'm just really upset that the majority of Americans voted against what I believe. There must be something wrong with them and we, the minority, must get rid of the majority of voters for what is right"-Bachmann

[bjobotts]

44. She's complaining about more opportunities for volunteers to help the country??

[Deja Q]

24. Wait, wasn't Bush selling out to transnationals too?

:shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

[Botany]

30. It is those Americorps terrorists

working in parks, schools, and w/ senior citizens

In Columbus they have picked up trash and helped to paint
elderly people's homes.

It is Transnational I tell you.

[Deja Q]

25. If she bleats about government employees, why is she one?

[rasputin1952]

27. This woman is insane, she won by the narrowest of margins...

ands then she goes and shuns those that voted for her, by acting like a loon and drawing attention to those that thought she should return to the House.

I don't think she's going to be voted back in 2010...:)

31. Scary

MB is scary enough, but even scarier are all the people who vote for this lunatic. I honestly believe there are many red hot republicans who would vote for Charles Manson if he was on the ballot as a republican.

[JenniferJuniper]

33. Of course they would.

Besides, he never actually killed anyone.

And I'm sure he would not be in favor of the abortion of white fetuses, which is, of course, the ultimate litmus test for all true right-wingers. Charlie loved white babies. Just look at all those Family photos.

36. Only Commie Fascist Socialist Marxists

believe children should have health care!

These whack jobs think the only good child is an unborn child. Step out of the womb and you can go to hell for all they care.

[MADem]

35. RE-education? That nitwit sounds like she slept through her classes from kindergarten on! nt

[tomm2thumbs]

37. From the sound of it, I do believe she received a visit from the Secret Service or FBI

Her rhetoric has been obviously slanted away from where she was - and I'm guessing it is due to a reason. Someone should ask her if she was visited by anyone (other than the aliens that have obviously stolen her brain) and see what she says.

The far right is having a lot of trouble hanging on to their precious 25% as can be seen in the descriptions of doomsday they keep presenting. I hope she does run for Senate - it'll be a hoot to see her sink.

[Submariner]

38. Has she submitted to a Drug Test?

Delusional thought patterns are an indication of a sick mind. The people of MN deserve a rational and intelligent representative, not someone like this.

40. Will she praise Richard Poplawski...

as a suitably "armed and dangerous" American fighting for his rights?

[Deja Q]

42. Piffle. If this were * or McCain, she'd be up there in full support.

[livefreest]

48. aaaaaaaaaaaaaw! isn't she cute?

i wonder why Michelle Bachmann is not afraid that, if she continues to advance her ideas and if she truly believes what she says, she will be one of the first people to be "welcomed" into a "re-education camp":tinfoilhat:
could someone ask her/him ?

btw, are there prospective contenders who will run against her?

[Archie_Leach]

49. I

HAVE to take a trip to Minnesota to see for myself what kind of creatures actually voted for bachmann.....

[livefreest]

51. please bring an exhaustive documentary. and a specimen if possible. i hear they bite

Godspeed .
