Idiot Bachmann: "Interesting that the swine flu happened under a Democrat President"

[ck4829]

During an interview with PajamasTV today, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) falsely claimed that the last swine flu outbreak occurred under "another Democrat President, Jimmy Carter." Bachmann, however, insisted she was not trying to blame either man for the outbreaks:

BACHMANN: I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under Democrat President Jimmy Carter. And I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it is an interesting coincidence.

Gerald Ford was actually Jimmy Carter? I mean, the man was President until 1977.

Minnesota, this woman is representing you, HELLO!

1. Who the hell would vote for that nutjob?

[Tim01]

2. If it is reasonable to make comparisons like that,

then it is fair to suggest that it is not an accident and was part of a republican conspiracy.
*sigh*

3. I wince at dense like this. n/t

her insanity.:crazy:

6. Bachmann for President 2012. Lets put the GOP

way, way down the hole....Palin/Bachmann?
If the GOP is still in the 20% of voters area in 2012, the next election may bring them into the teens, maybe even into the single digits.

8. mmmm...interesting

-- that cities in the Gulf were wiped out by hurricanes under a Republican President

29. we can add

torture & wiretapping

[FSogol]

9. Didn't Gerald Ford publicly get vaccinated against swine flu to encourage

people to get the shot? IIRC, Doctors at the time saw little value to the vaccine.

16. You are CORRECT. Bachmann is an IDIOT and a LIAR. 1976 was

when the first Swine Flu scare happened, Ford was president from 1974-77.

Another example of them rewriting history.

[Bluenorthwest]

22. My parents called the 'swine flu shots' back then

'Ford Flu Shots, meant to cure Watergate fixation by intilling fear in Americans' We did not get the shots, nor did anyone we knew. There was a TV ad campaign and the works.

11. OMG was Lee Mercer Jr. right about people being up in his house with disease?

[marmar]

12. I didn't think such a combination of stupidity and absolute lunacy was achievable.....

..... MB proves me wrong.


What does this say about the people of her district?

[Liberal In Texas]

13. I think it's more "interesting" that 9/11, Katrina, the economy crash,

illegal wiretapping, the outing of a CIA agent, and the use of torture (just to hit a few low points) happened under a Republic President.

[HughBeaumont]

14. Interesting that worldwide ruin and massive debt happened under three REPUBLICAN presidents.

Slither back to whatever hole you were shat out of, Mickey B.

15. What is wrong with (a) her; (b) those who vote for her?

They'd have done better to select a horse, like the Emperor Caligula did!

[chemenger]

17. And I find it Interesting that a perfect idiot can be a United States Senator

:grr:

[Dappleganger]

19. She was duly elected to that position...

and that's pretty damned scary. That means there are thousands of idiots just like her walking around in public who know how to drive to the polls to vote.

*shakes head slowly*

[SidDithers]

20. Congresscritter, not Senator...

but your point remains valid :hi:

Sid
