OLD CRAZY EYES BACHMANN accuses Obama of wanting to experiment on immigrant children

Outgoing Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) accused President Barack Obama’s administration during a radio interview of encouraging more Central American immigrant minors to come to the U.S. for the purposes of procuring subjects for medical experiments, Right Wing Watch reported on Wednesday.

“We can’t imagine doing this,” she said. “But if you have a hospital, and they are gonna get millions of dollars in government grants so that they can conduct medical research on somebody — and a ward of the state can’t say no, a little kid can’t say no, if they’re a ward of the state — so here you could have an institution getting millions of dollars from our government to do medical experimentation, and a kid can’t even say no. It’s sick.”

According to Right Wing Watch, Bachmann’s claim is an offshoot of her introduction of “Justina’s Law,” named after Justina Pelletier, the Massachusetts teenager who was the focal point of a court battle between her parents and the state Department of Children and Families (DCF) dating back to February 2013.

Pelletier’s family and the agency’s dispute began when Boston Children’s Hospital diagnosed the girl with “a persistent and severe somatic symptom disorder,” countering an earlier diagnosis by Tufts Medical Center saying her inability to walk or eat was caused by mitochondrial disease. DCF was granted emergency custody over Pelletier until she turned 18 this past March, but the ruling was reversed three months later when juvenile court judge Joseph Johnston ruled that her parents had demonstrated they could provide adequate care for her.

GAWD, I am gonna miss this TeapubliKKKan idiot!

I think someone needs to experiment on Michele until they get the proper dosage established.

that Justina Pelletier was in. We never should have left that field open to the Rethugs -- they took the ball and ran with it.

And then turning her conjecture into a fact, and an accusation. Well that is just funny.

they should never be placed in a position of authority, responsibility or any type of decision-making over any person, place, or thing. I cannot understand anybody wanting to put her in charge and I know a few people who would like that.

When you understand that fear gets her "high" - it becomes clear that she needs more and more and more to function.

You see this a lot in "students" of Rushdoony. The thing is normally their public officials are just manipulators and the people that vote for them hold these fears they place in them. Bachmann is the rare official in the Republican party that comes from that school of thought that is elected and a true believer.

That's why I don't make jokes about Palin's stupidity - she's not. She's a manipulator and a master one at that.

Bachmann is a true believer.

Last week a similar story about Bachmann was proven as a punked story. Source was "rawstory". Methinks no one learned their lesson. She's nuts, but I believe her keeper would not have let her say this as well.

and setting them up on dates with people with whom they aren't compatible.

Come to think of it... how did Michelle and Marcus get together?

Not only are these alien children being experimented upon in hospitals, but it's space aliens who are supervising the experiments. Those children of the damned who develop psychic and telekinetic powers are being sent to the alien home planet for further education and instruction and will be sent back to Earth after their alien powers have matured and their alien programming is complete. Then they will take over the world

I must get this message to Madame Bachmann. She still has a chance to save us from this evil Obama plot.
