G, you forgot, "I stopped reading as soon as I saw Rolling Stone ...".

The guy who wrote this is doing exactly what I was trying to say would be done in the beginning of the other Bachmann thread. She'll benefit from these sorts of attacks in the end.

Liberals, like obviously this guy, will attack her. They will do so because they are scared of her. Santorum, for instance, is a hell of a lot more "religious" than Bachmann. But, you won't see a recent article on Santorum. Why? Because he doesn't matter and won't win.

This guy threw slander all over the place in the first three paragraphs and was cruel throughout. So, much so, I couldn't keep reading it. This won't work anymore. It's been tried before and now, to their credit, the conservatives are ready this time.

They have armed themselves with feminists, who are going to call people like this out. Just wait... you'll see what I'm talking about. I've already seen MSNBC change how they cover Bachmann because they were called out on the unfair treatment.

Rolling Stone will soon learn that in the PC society that media like theirs helped to create, they can't pick and choose what grouping is okay to pick on. It's not ok to slander a woman like that, even if you don't agree with their politics.

But, seriously, keep it up... I hope to see more and more of this stuff. It shows who these types of people really are.

But they really let her have it and it's a pretty fair article. Although they do call her "bat shit crazy," they lay out a very convincing argument as to why she is.

I did read it and I wouldn't necessarily call it fair, although they did at least acknowledge the fact that she has 23 foster kids...It is however pretty easy to read past the colorful words the writer chose. I think his message is spot on though, as I took the article to be a warning to liberals and democrats not to discount her even though she may seem crazy. That I agree with, I couldn't for the life of me figure out how she got elected here. It seems as though the press, and all those that continue to give her a spot light will be continually amazed as she gets elected...even though they attack and attack and call her crazy. It is almost as if people vote for her because she seems unflapped by the criticism...they seem to vote for her to stick it too the liberal biased media they see...and that is why the real way to kill this liberal boogeyman is to simply not pay attention to her, do not attack her personality, just point out the faults in her postitions, and the untruth but do it with respect and she will no longer have the us against them vote.

I don't necessarily agree with your analysis of her, but I agree with what you said about the way to beat her. I just don't see that ever happening. I mean, look around here. Do you think some of these people could actually not try to slander and defame her and actually stick to the issues without getting their panties in a wad and start name calling? I've only been active here for a few days, and I already no the answer is no. The media is just as bad. Just like some people in forums like these, the media is too narrow-minded to understand a common person who actually dislikes how the media treats a seemingly nice person (regardless of that person's political ideals). To the common person, this isn't a football game where if you wear the Republican jersey you're a lunatic,... they think people should be treated fairly. The media doesn't behave that way, as seen in this article.

I guess i have heard her speak and read articles and all that for so long here in minneapolis that I just don't believe she would make a good leader. She would be knee jerk and reactionary.

We slander her and call her names not to belittle her or because we are scared of her. We call her those names because that is who she is exactly. She is a lunatic. She is uninformed. She is very right wing. "Bat shit crazy" is a great descriptor for her.

I really hope she gets the nomination. It would assure that the GOP loses all credibility. Scared of Michelle Bachmann?? Not in the slightest. Mitt Romney on the other hand is someone liberals can be worried about.

the difference is......people who read rolling stone don't go there for serious political news/insight anymore. it's more entertaining reading. people still believe Fox news, unfortunately.

I noticed your sig "vinyl wanted" do you collect old vinyl ?

Godfather.

not a whole lot. what do you mean by "old"? my Dad just gave me a bunch of his Guess Who records, but my main priority is "grunge" and some current stuff.

Are you not just a little bit scared that an ultra-Conservative, born-again idiot like her is running for President?

Would you be happy to have someone like her at the helm?

No, I don't judge people based on their religion.

I much prefer her viewpoint on economics to Obama, she clearly has read on the subject. I don't think our very eloquent President is very intelligent or well read when it comes to that issue. I honestly don't believe he's read at all on the subject. I'd love to see Katie Couric ask Obama, what economics-related books have you read and enjoyed? Or who's your favorite historical economist? Would be awesome to hear that. I'm betting it would cause a Sarah Palin-like moment.

So, anyway, yes, I'd rather have her at the helm any day relative to Obama.
