Ex-lawmaker Michele Bachmann mocked for Facebook post comparing Obama to pilot who downed plane

[DonViejo]

Gone but not forgotten ex-Congresswoman Michele Bachmann took to her Facebook page on Tuesday and compared President Barack Obama to Andreas Lubitz, the pilot who downed the Germanwings airliner in the French Alps last week.

The ex-congresswoman, who chose to not run for reelection in 2014 after eight years in Congress, made the comparison while criticizing the Obama administration’s efforts to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran.

Longtime opponent, Wayne Bessen from Truth Wins Out, wrote: “I’m worried. If any person is an expert on deranged it is Michele Bachmann.” Other commenters chastised the former lawmaker for her ham-handed attempt to tie the tragedy to a policy dispute.

“Way to politicize a tragedy, lady,” wrote Elena Ballesteros, while Melissa Coca added, “Comparing this tragedy to anything is moronic and despicable. Congratulations, for once more upholding the level of stupid which only you can.”

A sampling below:

John Callahan: “I think you’ve lost whatever hold on reality you had.”

Michael J Pristash : “Your allusion is so inappropriate and divisive, not to mention disrespectful on so many levels. Shame on you.”

Dana Mitchell : “Oh back it down 3 notches Bachman. This is why you can’t be president.”

Jonathon Popphan: “I do not believe I have ever read a more disgusting screed in my entire life. Ms. Bachmann trying to score points off of a horrible tragedy? Is she seriously alleging that President Obama is mentally ill? Is she claiming that he is unfit for office because of mental issues?”

Henry Graham Kicklighter : “I’m so glad that you’re a political has-been, Michele.”

Greg Shea : “Oh. I’ve stumbled into today’s meeting of the “We’re Not Racists Club.” Carry on, Patriots.”

3. Bachmann Will Claim Persecution

4. The "plane"

was already taken down before O set foot in the Oval Office. Bachmann must be one of those many Americans who suffer from the "2000-2008 never happened" Syndrome.

5. Wow. That is exceptionally low and despicable, even...

...for her.

[treestar]

6. I suppose it fits as a metaphor in her world view

The America she likes is something Obama is deliberately wrecking. But to the rest of us, it is progress.
