Wolf Blitzer and Michele Bachmann Brawl Over the Benefits of Obamacare

[Tripper11]

I haven't had a chance to watch this yet. Sounds like it's classic Bachmann in all or batshit glory!!!

Excerpt - Blitzer began by asking Bachmann to explain her assertion that the ACA will result in the deaths of women, seniors and children.

“That’s the greatest fear that Americans have,” Bachmann explained. “It’ll be very unpleasant if the death panels go into effect – that’s the IPAB board. If we have denial of care for women, children, senior citizens, or if we have problems where people aren’t given the drugs that they need – maybe they’ll be denied drugs for breast cancer – you bet this can happen.”

1. OMG

"Wolf, I agree with everything that the government has forced insurance compananies to do, but they shouldn't make them do it and free market is best and I'm sure the people really don't want to be told, and uh freedom....

2. She convinced me!

That she's a fucking raving wingnut.

Death Panels, Death Panels, Death Panels!!!!!!

Geeez, I have many issues with the ACA, but Great Raven's Odin, she is a liar and shill for "private entities." Uh, hello, Michelle, private insurance companies have been acting like Death Panels for decades now, you fucking corporate whore.

Sorry for the rant, but she really makes me sick.

3. Wow. She did not disappoint. Utterly pathetic she holds national public office

Thankfully, she will be gone to tend to her fraud crimes and not stinking up the house.

4. Oh for fuck sake, she brought up the Illegal Alien cannard.

She has all the talking points down pat.

5. Republicans Midnight Riders: OBAMA CARE IS coming!! OBAMA CARE IS COMING!!

[Blue Owl]

8. One if by land; Two if by sea

[Fantastic Anarchist]

6. I've had enough ...

... she's fighting for unions?

Fuck you, Michelle. You're in this to fleece anyone you can swindle.

7. These effin' people cut food stamps without blinking an eye, and have the gall

to talk about insurance and fake death panels.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

9. She actually believes people trust insurance companies and the "free market" more than "government".

[Cha]

10. So cnn is so desperate for ratings that they think their

teaparty fave, bachmann has any freaking relevance?

stupid.

11. So-called representatives of the people

I'm forever amazed at how these so-called representatives of the people, so confidently begin their sentences with "The American people..." this and that. When WE KNOW (and most likely, THEY KNOW), that what they're saying is just not true. And they keep doing it over, and over, and over again.

12. What happened to

the journalist that would never let a politician get by without answering so many questions.....????

[Iwillnevergiveup]

13. Wolf: "You'll have to show me those numbers."

Bachmann: "30 million people are going to be cut off from their employer's health care."

14. I find it funny

that someone like Bachmann seemingly never wants to go on any MSNBC shows, yet she was willing to go on CNN, and still got challenged on her lies. Big Ed has challenged her to go on his show before, but he hasn't been able to lure her there.

15. The Republican Healthcare plan

ObamaSCARE!

[madashelltoo]

16. James Hoffa wrote a letter

Asking that the Republicans cease and desist telling that labor unions are against the ACA. That lie is old, been addressed and this woman(teeth clinched) keeps repeating it! Go home!

[Left Coast2020]

17. I hope she gets convicted of illegal campaign... whatever

...and sent to prison.

I hate to think how insane her district is...being that they sent her to Washington to act looney.

PLEASE GAWD. GET HER OFF MY TV SCREEN FOREVER!!!!
