Minnesota Congresswoman and former Republican presidential contender Michele Bachmann has been conspicuously silent since her nail-biter of a congressional re-election, but was back at her sound bite machine ways this week, calling 9/11 and the Benghazi consulate attacks “judgments from God.”

Bachmann spoke at a D.C. prayer event named “Washington: A Man of Prayer,” linking the tragedies of 9/11 and Benghazi to the hand of the almighty.

“It’s no secret that our nation may very well be experiencing the hand of judgment,” Bachmann espoused. “Our nation has seen judgment, not once but twice, on September 11th.” She went on tell the audience that there is no better way to spend 9/11 than to “humble ourselves” and “pray to an almighty God,” calling for a 9/11 prayer day.

This isn’t the first time Bachmann has used her political perch to share religious beliefs, as back in 2011, she surmised that Hurricane Irene and recent earthquakes were really an angry message from God warning, “Are you going to start listening to me here?”

Her "God damn America" moment

We can expect the GOP to give the same level of outrage to her as they did to Rev. Wright a week from never.

1. Batshit crazy. Bill Maher, here is your winner for America's Craziest Congresscritter!

What I want to know: When did she first attend the Prayer Breakfasts?

2. Separation of church and state, Ms. Bachmann. Separation of church and state.

The separation of church and state is a phrase originally coined by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to the Baptist Association of Danbury, Connecticut. The church, according to their letter to Jefferson dated October 7, 1801, was concerned there would be a denominational church state. The Supreme Court of the United States in 1962 borrowed this phrase in their Court decision to make public school prayer unconstitutional. It was to establish a line between organized religion and the nation state.

3. 9/11 hijackers doing holy work, America deserved it.

Gotcha.

[DallasNE]

4. Are We To Take It That December 7, 1941

Was also a judgment day from God? And that August 6, 1945 was another of God's judgment days?

God sure seems to have a lot of blood on his hands if that is the case. In fact, God is quite a monster using Bachmann's criteria.

5. I'd pay to establish a church to get these RWNJs out of government. They don't belong there.

Such proclamations are violating their oath of office and show they have no plan for governing. This is improper discussion, not about government policy and it is a waste of taxpayer dollars to support this preaching. My life long tolerance for this is being worn thin by these charlatans.

[Mister Ed]

6. I wonder if the Republicans will be calling God to testify...

... before a congressional committee?

The American people need to know how high up this Benghazi thing goes. What did the All-knowing and All-seeing know, and when did He know it?

[riqster]

27. The answer to your question is obvious.

He knew it all, and always knew it!

[hobbit709]

7. and if God did it, why are they trying to pin the blame on Hillary?

[1StrongBlackMan]

13. I was thinking ...

something similiar ...

If it was a holy judgement ... why the investigation? Why attempt to assign blame?

[Lunacee_2013]

8. I've also wondered why

when Pat Robertson (iirc) and many other conservatives said something similar, they were not treated like Rev. Wright. Then I remembered "Oh, that's right! He's black!". Sadly, it seems to be just that simple.

[msanthrope]

9. Well, then her god must really love Barack Obama. Using her 'logic', 3k dead vs. 4 dead

indicates that her god was sending a much bigger message to Mr. Bush.

[timdog44]

10. So to take her statement and make an

observation of truth from the opposite spectrum. These events are judgments from Allah that the Muslim extremists are doing the right thing in the attacks on the USA. And the Islam world is seeing judgment to their favor. She needs to be impeached. She is just plain and simple, bat shit crazy. I am ashamed to be Minnesota born and bred (though no longer there). How someone if her ilk and people like Al Franken, Walter Mondale, Hubert Humphry, Gene McCarthy and Paul Wellstone can come from the beautiful land of a thousand lakes is beyond me. Some of the DNA that was to be her makeup missed its mark.

[John2]

14. The Supreme ruler of

Iran made similar statements about the United States recently. Maybe the FBI should keep an eye on her extreme radicalism.

[Thor_MN]

30. Take some comfort that she isn't from Minnesota

She is from Iowa and should be treated as an invasive species.

11. "I subscribe to God's email updates so you can trust me on this!"

[Alkene]

12. Bachmann and Fred Phelps...

seem to be cut from the same cloth, or at least share similar brain chemistry.

[The Wizard]

15. Keep her center stage

She is the face and voice of the Republican Party, otherwise known as the home of radical extremists bent on restoring the feudal system or slavery rooted in an edict from an imaginary sky hero.
The likes of Bachmann, et al, are not only amusing, but frighten the political center. There's only so much crazy you can energize before the majority takes notice of the insanity.

16. God has one hell of a messaging problem.

17. Which God? The Muslim one of Abraham or the Christian one of Abraham?

It's all so confusing isn't it.

[Ian David]

18. Well, THAT lets Obama and Hillary off the hook. God did it. Case closed. n/t

[John2]

19. And they can't mess

with God. There is no higher authority.

[Ian David]

29. Impeach god! n/t

[Aviation Pro]

20. Fuck this crazy-eyed...

...walking wad of shitstain.

[PatrynXX]

21. wonder what she'd say about Ohio?

someone who's not a saint did Gods work and rescued 3 women and a child ???? she'd go nuts...

[tularetom]

22. So then what? We deserved Benghazi? God wanted it to happen?

If God wanted it, then neither Obama nor Clinton could have done a fucking thing to stop him, right? I mean he's God, he can do more shit than Superman.

So why the hell are we wasting time on these stupid congressional witch hunts?

[PopeOxycontinI]

23. it's okay...

See, she's a white republican, so it's okay. The "patriotism" or sanity of a white republican can never be questioned...
because Gawd himself says so.

But, seriously....they will say nothing...because they are hypocrites...it defines their very being on a subatomic/quantum level.

[perdita9]

24. Maybe God's punishing us for not having Univeral Healthcare

Has Ms. Bachmann ever considered that?

[sakabatou]

25. Crazy person channelling Pat Robertson

[indepat]

26. Bizarre ramblings like this emanating from Michelle Bachmann's mouth give clarity to her

creditability, rationality, sensibility, and sanity.

[marble falls]

28. Who does she think she is, a Westboro Baptist?

[blkmusclmachine]

31. .

[uriel1972]

33. Um is that Washington as in George Washington...

I thought he was a deist like most of the 'Founding Fathers', either I'm wrong and I freely admit to not knowing that much about him, or they're trying to rewrite the past again. Not that this suprises me, lies is all they got.
