let me guess. she announced she is running for president for the 10th time. i can't wait for the convention. "hi, i'm michele bachman and i would like to announce to you for the first time, exclusively, just for you, that i'm running for president."

Many of the foster children she took-in were girls with eating disorders.

Sounds like a scam to me.....she didn't have to spend a lot of money on food, but she still may have been reimbursed for the standard amount of food costs by the government.

First: You're scared. And these constant threads on her prove it. If she's such a loon, why continue to comment on her? She would have no shot right if she's crazy?

Second: The original link, from the liberal paper you cited, has since "Updated" their original piece. I think it would be a bit more "fair", had they not "updated" it and actually admitted that they were the one's stretching on a fact to fit their agenda.

Third: For being so dumb, I would guarantee she's more intelligent then everyone who has commented in this thread. She has a post-doc, a law degree and has served as a Senator. You and I are commenting on a rock band's message board pretending to be intellectuals.

Finally: This is what I was waiting for. The press will try to do what they did with Sarah Palin, but this time it will backfire. She's not stupid. A casual person will enter the debate with a low expectation on her because of this and will be impressed over and over. They will realize that she's with it when they hear her speak. Also, people in general, once they learn a story like this, will recognize that the John Wayne, which was the intent, was from Iowa and his parents lived in that same town. Afterwards, they will question the media... not her... and will most likely be left supporting her more than they otherwise would have. This is going to continue too until the press goes too far. They will prod and prod and eventually a feminist organization won't take it anymore and stand up. I bet by this November that will have happened. If I had to bet right now, I would place money on her... and worse case she'll be our next VP. She's no-Palin and she's no Hillary either.

if she is so smart and so intelligent, and so worthy of the white house, why did she decline the invitation to have a quiz/debate on the us constitution with a high school student?

http://beta.news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookou ... 05542.html

and why did her suporters issue threats to a 16 year old girl who challenged her and attempted to take her to task?

usamamasan1

well there you have it. She chose not to debate a high school student. (as your article points out a no-win situation)

and her "supporters" apparently were threatening to rape her and calling her a whore. Wow, that's her supporters huh?

Great article.

she should have come on here, it would have been an easier debate.

All right, Kenny Rogers, let's bet. $5 bucks payable through paypal that she will not be the VP or president in
2013.

1) Do you think you're smart?


2) Would Obama debate a 16 year old girl?

It's kinda scary. I'm new here and a lot of people here apparently think they are changing the world by typing posts 20 hours a day.

I can see how one could get sucked into these debates, it''s happen to me recently. But, I am starting to realize that a middle-ground may not work here. Respect for your fellow PJ fans who may have a difference of opinion, apparently, is not an option around these parts.

Of course it's worth noting there is a distinction between “intellectual” and “intelligent”. I'm guessing there are plenty of intelligent music fans here.

The distinction between “intellectual” and “intelligent” is the latter’s inclusion of sensory experience, facts, or other empirical information, and the former’s exclusion of it, relying solely on imagination and reason.


How's that for an intellectually pedantic answer?

Some would say an intellectual uses intelligence and critical analysis in their daily life. So, they may not be far apart.

I would bet that the average intelligence in here (and yes, I'm in here so I'm picking on me too), regardless of gauge, is below the level of the average of the U.S.Congress. That's all I'm saying.

Could be, inlet13. Or maybe they're just more cocky and act like they know what they're doing. And then there are some people in congress-- and I won't mention names here because I don't want virtual darts thrown at me-- who are just plain fucking stupid.

Maybe... to make sure I do not generalize, I'd think that there's a few here like that too.

You should be scared, too. This is a woman who claims that "god" told her to become a lawyer for the IRS and send threatening letters to people, sue them for back taxes and take their houses. Yeah. All the harping about "she was a tax lawyer" that the teabaggers do and most of them think she defended people. No... she went after people for not paying their taxes fast enough. Because "god" told her to.

And let's look at 1940s Germany, Iraq, Cuba, Libya... that's what happens when a crazy but charismatic person gets into power.

Third: For being so dumb, I would guarantee she's more intelligent then everyone who has commented in this thread. She has a post-doc, a law degree and has served as a Senator.

I come from a family of people who have more doctorates than sense. All university professors and not a clue between them. Book smart they may be but they're not very bright. Clueless and easy to fool.

This is a person who read on some homemade blog from Mumbai that the president was taking the entire Navy's "war ships" and spending 2 billion dollars on his trip to India... not even remotely true. But she reported it as fact. That's just being gullible and clueless. Anyone with a brain cell could have spotted that as a silly made-up story.

She also recently claimed that the president had given ONE off-shore oil-drilling permit. The actual number was 207. She was only off by 206. But when presented with this, she sputtered, said "the fact remains that he hasn't give out the permits (conservatives love to repeat their lies over and over again) and then started reciting something about the unemployment rate.

This is a person who's called for paranoid McCarthyist witch hunts, someone who thinks we should teach "Intelligent design" as "science" and someone who not only believes in but promotes a "gay cure."

This is someone who's made hundreds of thousands of dollars by funneling subsidies to her own family business.

You really think someone like that is a good leader?

Finally: This is what I was waiting for. The press will try to do what they did with Sarah Palin,

you mean... "report the things she says verbatim as facts?"

Yeah. Good. hope they keep doing that.

So what? George W. Bush graduated from Yale University in 1968 and Harvard Business School in 1975. Does that make him an intellectual? No, it doesn't. He was a buffoon.

Here's a little nugget of wisdom for you to chew on: Money goes a long way in this world.

Prince Of Dorkness

Her latest mouth-fart was saying that she chose Waterloo, Iowa to announce yet again that she's running for president is that she wants to be like John Wayne, a vaguely fey actor who made his living pretending to be a cowboy. He wasn't a REAL cowboy, he just played one in movies. Truth be known he was just a fake, not a real "tough-guy" in real life.

And the worst thing was that John Wayne wasn't from Waterloo, it was serial-killer John Wayne Gacy.

Which means she just looked that up on Google a few minutes before so she could have something cute to say.

Another last-minute fuck-up that we DO NOT want from a president.

Can we please have someone who actually does their homework? Someone who isn't just a buffoon? Someone who means what they say and doesn't just say crap to incite people?

I spoke to one Bachmann supporter who says he likes her because "she knows just how to play the lamestream media." And I'm like... isn't that a bit high school?
