Bachmann Attempts To Connect Swine Flu To Democrats

[ccbatson]

Of course, the flu is not "connected" to any person/politician/party...however, the hysteria connected to it certainly could be...most likely liberal media as the root of the amplification of concern.

[vetalalumni]

Bachmann and Fox are red herrings. Basically, they are fabricated noise.

[ccbatson]

You don't think the media is central to hysteria on this subject?

[Flanders]

You don't think the media is central to hysteria on this subject?

The only real hysteria that I have observed recently, that has been been reported, posted or blogged about from any media source, is that which is coming from the RW regarding RINOs, CINOs, Democrats, and liberals.:D

[ccbatson]

Like so many others, you have tuned out the main stream liberal media then? Good for you.

[Bobl]

Bachmann makes Palin look like a mental giant. They both appeal to sad, uninformed people, who like what they see and hear from these panderers, and do not perform any due diligence in their news gathering. Facts mean nothing to them. Just throw the words liberal, socialist, democrat, Obama together with H1N1, energy dependency, taxes, and maybe the boogieman, and they nod obediently.

[oladub]

I had never heard of Michelle Bachman until a couple of months ago when I came across this YouTube, below, of Michelle Bachman going after Geithner and Bernanke. I did like her line of questioning as well as the way she licks her lips. Since then, James Carville, Olberman, and others Democrat hit men have been launching her into national prominence with their attacks eg. "Worst Person in the World" award.

I'm fascinated about why she is getting so much sudden publicity from prominent Democrats when so many other more prominent Republicans should be drawing fire for supporting the war and voting for Bush's bailout. Is it for taking on the banking elite, for being some sort of a milfy threat like Sarah Palin, for being viewed as an ascendant Republican (maybe because of her looks), did she cheat on her taxes, or is it because she makes more verbal errors than other Republicans? I mean, Bachman is a back-bencher in the Republican Party. Why the focus?

[oladub]

Yeah, its the Democrats who are reponsible for this embarassment of a woman, even though she is a Republican and it is Republicans who voted her into office. Yeah, right. If you "just heard of her" then you obviously don't watch Hannity, Beck, or O'Reilly or just about any program on Fox News that have been promoting her non-stop.

Then, the Democrats respond and make fun of her idiocy and suddenly it is all a trick to discredit the Republican party by "launching her into national prominence".

Does your head hurt from all that spinning?

My limited knowledge of Bachman jumps from coming across the Youtube video to seeing a flurry of responses to her from the likes of Olberman and Rachel Maddow. No, actually I don't watch Hannity, Beck, or O'Reilly. You seem to be ahead of me on that. I didn't say it was all a trick. I asked a question. In just four sentences, you unsuccessfully attempted to read my mind, imagine my habits, or even comprehend what I wrote all in just four sentences. No, its not my head that seems to be spinning. I don't care if she was embarassed for making factual errors but it is peculiar that the criticism isn't directed at her for voting for Bush's war or Bush's bailout. She did the first, not sure about the latter. Senator Obama did both. Since you seem to know more about Hannity, Beck, and O'Reilly, when did they, as you asserted, start promoting her?

[Flanders]

Amongst others like Neil Boortz, who are blaming illegal immigrants from Mexico, Michael "Savage" Weiner, a RW radio talkshow host who falsely claims to be an epidemiologist, flips out, calling the Swine Flu virus a possible terrorist manufactured attack planted by Islamic terrorists using illegal immigrants to the US from Mexico
:eek::eek::eek::eek:

No matter that most, if not all swine flu cases diagnosed in the US so far were found to be the result of US tourists returning from Mexico, or that one of the heros of the conservative corporate capitalists, the suspected virus originator, (Smithfield Corporation) moved their operations from the US to Mexico due to being repeatedly fined for polluting and unsanitary conditions in their livestock farms.

In the internet age, even the most insignificant and unknown US citizen can gain instant notoriety courtesy of video uploading websites like YouTube, LiveLink, ect... For example, last October, Shirley Nagel, a Grosse Pointe Farms resident, was featured in a local Fox TV news Halloween broadcast for refusing to give treats to children if she suspected that their parents were Obama supporters. the clip was uploaded to YouTube by several members, and it went viral, to the point that it captured national attention:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbkBE0lWeYU&NR=1

Keith Olbermann also featured it on his show, giving Shirley discredit for being that day's "Worst Person In The World"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxQ_pMMANes

If a relative nobody can garner attention like that for saying and doing outrageous things, then obviously a federal representative in the House, who REPEATEDLY makes incorrect, insulting, accusatory and outrageous claims about American history, the opposition party, and its individual members can easily do so as well.

Thousands of people die each year after year from the flu.


The democrats and their minions in the media are sure trying to make this into
national scare case so they can take more control over you lives and tie this into
nationalized health care, which will surely ruin the health care system in this country.

[ccbatson]

36,000 a year in the US on average. This swine flu is less virulent/has lower mortality than many...and the mortality is almost always a secondary phenomenon, not by virtue of the influenza virus itself.

[Detroitej72]

Bachman is about as far to the fringe lunatic right as one could go.

Last week, she was talking about how great the times were in the 1920's economically speaking. I guess she wasn't very good in history, as that bubble burst, and we had the Great Republican Depression. :eek:

[oladub]

Obama voted to fund the troops, by the way, not "for the war". The economy is starting to show signs of recovery. It will be fun to see how the Republicans will spin that one to try to give the credit for the economic recovery to Bush or some such bullshit.

As I've mentioned before, Ron Paul said that there was enough money in the pipeline to safely remove the troops. By voting to "fund the troops", as the neo-cons liked to put it, this illegal war was extended because the money in the pipeline did not have to be used to exit the troops.

If someone printed a million dollars, gave them to me, and charged it to my kids, my economic condition would be improved for awhile too. I don't think that Bush is ever going to get credit for an economic recovery because there isn't going to be an economic recovery beyond what the Federal Reserve funny money will buy until the dollar collapses.

I don't understand. Except for the recent stock market uptick, what exactly is the good economic recovery news? I'm thinking that the country must be anesthetized to be taking the bankruptcy of GM so calmly. Five years ago, this would have been unthought of.

[ccbatson]

GM is heading there fast...unfortunately, given the alternative of a nationalized automaker, bankruptcy is a better plan.

[Detroitej72]

Obama has never been in favor of nationalizing the auto industry. Why do neo-cons always insist that is his plan?

Why are conservatives so opposed to abortion then, because many if not most of the infants who would be born otherwise, would most likely become the entitled and uninsured projeny of parent(s) who are poor, unemployed and unmarried?

Perish the thought that people who are now unemployed, disabled, or elderly are entitled to access quality health care in the US. Why don't these people just go away and die quietly somewhere, so that young, healthy and productive citizens don't have to directly or indirectly subsidize their continued survival, since they are no longer, or never were an asset to society?

Just as US troops are to many conservatives, they are only worthwhile as long as they serve without ever requiring any expensive long-term care and/or government assistance if they suffer debilitating physical or especially mental "injury", are discharged as a result, and become an "intolerable" burden on society.

[oladub]

What does any of that have to do with swine flu? Why don't you start your own "bitching about Obama" thread? Or maybe you can title it "why I am pissed off that Obama is not cleaning up the mess fast enough that was created by the man I voted for twice."

Secondly, it was Chrysler that went bankrupt. Chrysler and GM are separate companies in case you were not aware.

You are correct that it has nothing to do with swine flu. It was a response to your comment that had nothing to do with swine flu. In the last two presidential elections, I have voted for Ralph Nader and a third party candidate. Your presumpions are, as usual, wrong. No wonder you like Obama. I don't vote for Wall Street warmongers like McCain or Obama. That aside, what has Obama cleaned up for Bush? The debt, higher spending, excessive wiretapping, unemployment, the middle east quagmire, what?

GM shareholders reading your opinion that GM is viable will be pleased.

I think we went off track with your post #12 which was the first post not mentioning either Bachman or the Swine Flu. Since then, we have both been off topic.

Somewhat off topic but Minnesota is a different kind of state.

First...you don't know what a neo con is.

Second, it is a bad term. The proper description is RINO...pseudo conservatives that are for large and controlling authoritarian government.

If that is what you are referring to...true conservatives oppose them nearly as much as blatant socialist liberals.

[Lorax]

One more peep out of the bubble headed Bachmann.....

That bitch needs to be jailed on principal alone. She and Saracuda Failin should join ranks with Hairy Prejean, the former Miss California for a bubbleheaded smackdown.

And then to have the Caftan Warlord Lush Lintball weigh in (pun intended) is yet another ass-wrinkle on the whole flu thing.

God these people have entirely too much exposure, and money- this makes them not only socially retarded, but dangerous.

The correct term is neo-con, as they are pseudo conservatives. See Bush, Cheney, Reagan and the like. For real conservatives see Barry Goldwater.

I will never use the rino tag because idiots like Rushie try to cram it down people's throats, and since I think the man is a horrible human being worthy of death, I will not acknowledge his choice of words.

[ccbatson]

Nearly common ground there.

If Rush says 2+2=4...you will disagree because you hate him? Good policy.

No, I would say even a broken clock is right twice a day. :D

Ms Prejean was on the news yesterday sobbing about the latest and semi-nude pictures that were leaked onto the internet, claiming they were taken on a "windy" day and were not "authorized" with her consent to be taken. These were posted after Trump said that the pageant officials did not find anything inappropriate or in violation of contestant rules for her earlier leaked photoshoot pictures.

Well, her hair must have been lacquered down with industrial strength hairspray, because her pictures do not show her hair being affected by a strong wind, and even if it was, then why did she wear a tiny vest that was completely unbuttoned?

Given that she is looking in the same direction, if not right at the camera, means that she had to know that they were being taken, and unlike the earlier photos that she claimed were due to "teenage immaturity," these were much more recent:

I am unsure if this link is NSFW, as her "naughty bits" in some of the pix are starred out:

I'm attacking the messenger? What about Lush Bimbo who never misses a chance to attack our president, or any other liberal for that matter.

Which fits so well with the fact that Lush Bimbo wafts around his 40,000 square foot, 20 million dollar mansion here in Palm Beach wearing powdered "whigs" and knee breeches like an 18th century courtesan holding candelabra aloft when showing off his enormous wealth, all while strung out on viagara and oxycontin, of course.:cool:

I wish democratic idols were as interesting. :eek:

You conveniently leave out that the biggest culprits are deregulation of the banking industry, and free market companies like Country Wide Mortgage, Bear Sterns, etc.

You also fail to point out that Fannie and Freedy are public companies, but I guess to do so, your argument would be rendered false.

You didn't hear of her before because she just got into Congress in 2007. Some do bash her because of her looks; a popular liberal leaning election update website was blatantly doing it as soon as the 2008 election started. She is pretty hot, especially for being over fifty. However, most of those on the more liberal side of the media bash her because she's generally as aggressive as seen in your clip and she's pretty conservative. The more liberal media will attack the most outspoken conservatives and the more conservative media will attack the most outspoken liberals. Makes sense to me.

All that was removed from the house version of the bill (which is fluid and incomplete, as we all know) was the free/paid for compensation with a physician during end-of-life discussions.

I guess you're advocating people should be afraid of their own hand-selected doctors, then.

Michelle Eichmann needs to resign in shame over her inability to lie her way out of a paper bag. She pulled this stunt with Chris Matthews in calling for Nazi-style interrogations of congress members whom she claimed had "anti-American" tendencies, insisting on a "list". This included senator Obama at the time, then she denied she ever said it, not that she was misquoted, just flat out denied it.

Rethuglicans need to leave the 12th century and realize we have video/audio tape which records events, and when played back, don't lie.

Have you forgotten the prosperity and wealth of the Clinton years, or are you that blind to your party?

BTW, to most "liberals", Clinton is seen as Republican Light, as far as policy is concerned.

[ccbatson]

Not too bad. Not 5% unemployment however.

[Lorax]

Why should any of us worry, no matter who the Reich puts up in 2012, Obama would have to be found with a dead girl or a live boy to lose. Then he'd lose to another Democrat.

Rethuglicans haven't got a prayer for at least 8 more years. Palin's an idiot, Limbaugh's too rich doing what he's doing now, Gingrich is a psychopath, Romney is disqualified due to the magic underpants his religion tells him to wear.

Anyone think we're politically bankrupt? Let's draft Bernie Sanders or Dennis Kucinich. These are real socialist Americans, patriotic and eminently qualified.

Keep on believing that way Lorax...encourage other liberals to do the same please.

You too, Batts.

Find the lowest, least educated trailer trash to run for president, and we'll see if it ever happens. Palin hasn't a prayer.

[Papasito]

the Democratic party certainly is not capable of creating a scheme as elaborate as the swine flu.
the only thing the current administration is guilty of is making every single issue they put forth in their agenda an emergency of dire proportions that needs to be passed right away.

I don't see the swine flu as a partisan issue.

[Lorax]

Yeah, but your "party" does see it as partisan.

The conspiracy theory is that H1N1 as it's supposed to be called, especially by those in the medical profession, was concocted to divide and conquer the US into camps of healthy Democrats and sickly Rethuglicans.
