Bernie vs Michele Bachmann

[Mnpaul]

and on a good hair day. Just saw this on Kos and had to share. Damn, I want to see him debate some Republicans. He has looney tunes Bachmann stepping and fetching to defend her endless talking points

[Thinkingabout]

1. Michele doesn't even know what income disparity means.

Furthermore she was in Congress at the same time infrastructure bills was voted down. Just as O'Connell said the Republicans was going to do everything possible to deny Obama a second term.

2. No it was not a good debate.

She interrupted everything he said and Wolf let her do it...and used the tactic of throwing out everything she could think of to confuse the issue...and never answered a question.

It was disgusting to me that Wolf called it a good debate.

3. Note to Bernie

Don't even bother to go on wolfs show, it is just a right wing propaganda machine, it is pointless and they will smear you every time.

10. I can't stand that little creep. Nothing more than a mealy-mouth bootlicker.

He ought to be on FOX. But, then again CNN is damn near as bad.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

4. Her answer to income inequallity is to blame it on Obama?

[drynberg]

5. Poor Michelle, see on FOX, her shouting over the other speaker is Normal.

6. What a hapless Job of Moderating by Wolf Blitzer

To even put Michelle Bachman out there as offering legitimate debate on these matters is a farce to begin with. She had nothing useful to say that was even considered coherent (adding to the political dialogue on national TV). Wolf Blitzer allowed a 'monologue-in-duet' to occur while Bachmann proceeded to drown out her 'so-called' opponent with her Disneyland voice of 'Mickey Mouse' in such a torrent of half-truths, lies, and straw-man arguments. Her 'so-called' opponent could not possibly answer every falsehood in real time. Bernie you soiled yourself by appearing on the stage with this nut case.

7. OMG what a joke Bachmann was

This was a total joke. She is asked a question, does not answer it. Instead, she asks herself a different question and still does not answer it. She does this over and over. It's sickening to even watch her. Poor Bernie.

Why is Bachmann even on the air? Isn't she retired or something?

8. Bernie's finest hour! I would have strangled her by the two minute mark!

Bernie's debating skills combined with logical, well reasoned arguements will carry the day once the debates start. Hillary is no slouch, but she will have the harder positions unless she lies and agrees with what Bernie says.

9. This was one hell of a test

If he can make it thru this loon, he'll do fine with the partially sane ones.

I'd say he passed.

Same old song and dance...
I have kept a record for years now on the Tactics and Bullspin created by the GOP..
No wonder the GOP is dying...
God damned Hypocrites..

12. There is one thing we can learn from her though

While her points are absolutely and demonstrably full of shit - she never plays defense. She is on the attack the entire time. As a political strategy it works because let's face it - most Americans do not know the facts so they see this as point counter point and would grade it about even. We know that it isn't at all and that Bernie wins by a mile on facts alone. But that isn't how it looks to Joe six pack and unfortunately, he votes.

So if you just place offense the entire time you don't have to defend counter points - you just ignore them. It works for her. Many watching wouldn't detect this. What if our side played this way? Sometimes we get tied down because we know we are right. What if we just ignored that and played offense the whole time the same way the reptilians do? Because if there is one thing that the reptilians have demonstrated over and over again it is that "facts do not matter in a point counter point sound bite debate."

13. Unfortunately, it only works when your

opponents aren't bat-shit crazy AND when your probable supporters will probably buy anything you say. You can aggressively attack sensible people with nonsense because there aren't any good responses to nonsense except 'that's total nonsense.' Your supporters will think your nonsense must mean something because you wouldn't have said it otherwise, and thus non-stop offense works.

On the other hand, if your opponent is nuts, and your probable supporters have minds of their own, you can't attack non-stop. You just end up looking like a jerk. That's the conundrum.

14. It just kills me to see (R) Minnesota pop up under her like that.

Just for the record she wasn't from my district.
