Bachmann thinks she's Nostradamus
Edited on Thu Apr-08-10 07:44 AM by muriel_volestrangler
But Bachmann sounds determined. She reminded another audience recently of her 2008 comment that Obama might have "anti-American views," declaring, "I said I had very serious concerns that Barack Obama had anti-American views, and now I look like Nostradamus."

Ah, someone who spouts nonsense that sounds as if they're on mind-altering drugs, and whose followers will take anything and twist it to mean whatever they want it to? Yeah, there is a certain similarity. I mean, look at this:

Betty Soban, an admiring constituent of Bachmann's, said: "My family left Germany because of Hitler and socialized medicine. I see it happening here." Important to her, she said, are "freedom of ownership. Freedom of our guns. Freedom of having babies."


Yes, those refugees from socialized medicine are legendary.

2. I think she may be correct
I always thought the whole Nostradamus thing was a crock of shit.

I really do see the resemblance. It's uncanny.

4. Betty Soban's family left Europe because Hitler and SOCIALIZED MEDICINE???
After readying the rest of her statement I cease to be amazed at her stupidity and lack of truthfulness.

10. Germany instituted socialized medicine in the 1870's under Bismarck.
But why let facts get in the way of a good delusion.

5. I agree with her constituent
President Obama's Executive Order unconstitutionally preventing our freedom of having babies was going too damn far!

Edited on Thu Apr-08-10 08:04 AM by LeftinOH
'Freedom to have babies'? I don't understand these people. At all.

12. So by her logic...
if there were no socialized medicine, would they have stayed?

She's a fucking moron.
