Michele Bachmann: "We're Running Out Of Rich People In This Country"

“In an interview with a conservative talk show host, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has once again embarrassed herself. Posted by the blog Dump Bachmann and picked up by the MN Progressive Project, the clip has the Minnesota Republican telling KLTK's Chris Baker that she opposes she stimulus because we're "running out of rich people in this country."

Steve Benen organizes some more of the stupidity:

* ACORN is "under federal indictment for voter fraud," but the stimulus bill nevertheless gives ACORN "$5 billion." (In reality, ACORN is not under federal indictment and isn't mentioned in the stimulus bill at all.)


* many members of Congress have "a real aversion to capitalism."

• the stimulus bill includes a measure to create a "rationing board" for health care, and after the bill becomes law, "your doctor will no longer be able to make your healthcare decisions with you."

1. Let me just say

I worked so hard to defeat her. I called for hours. I door knocked for hours. I donated more than I should have. This drives me nuts.

2. Twilight Zone Time

No other explanation

12. It was ineptness....

What she was trying to do was spew the old "The Democrat Party only wants to tax the rich." talking point. But, she blew it. On top of being crazy, she couldn't regurgitate the lie. I guess you could call that "Twilight Zone Time", but I call it "Batshit Crazy and Stupid Time."

13. I Was Referring To The Fact

That she's been elected in the first place and then, after her last goofs, re-elected, it's almost as if a an alternate reality is operational here.

10. I live in Maryland and I donated to her opponent.

I so wanted her gone.

3. All too predictable, but still numbing.

I wonder whether this creature is dumber than a rock, utterly batshit insane or both.

:wtf:

5. It Occurs To Me

That she and MSNC's Contessa Brewer look alike...the rest I will leave unsaid

[Medusa]

6. I vote both.

but she's an ideal gift for us---she gives a stunning insight to the GOP brain--or lack thereof.

[crimsonblue]

4. So does she believe any stimulus should only go to rich people?

What an ignorant slut.

7. I remember several years ago when she was spying on a gay marriage rally

outside the MN capitol.

[snake in the grass]

8. WTF?

She really is mental.

[abq e streeter]

9. Once again, she's the symptom, not the disease

nobody forced the voters of her district to elect and re-elect her. The ignorance and hatefulness of Ms. Bachmann is nothing more than a clear reflection of how the majority of voters in her district would like themselves to be represented. What the FUCK is wrong with those people? (and those in all the other districts and states where lunatic hate-mongers are repeatedly elected to congress , the Senate, and local positions.) If there was no Michelle Bachmann , they'd have found someone else just like her. To the poster above who apparently lives in her district, you have my profound sympathies for living among such stunningly ignorant neighbors.

11. Thanks allot Idiot Michelle

Now my brain hurts

[Bluenorthwest]

14. Idocies?

Try unmitigated lies. Liars are far worse than idiots. And she's a liar.
