Bachmann: We Have to ‘Slit Our Wrists, Be Blood Brothers’ Against Health Care Reform

By Matthew DeLong 8/31/09 9:50 PM

The Colorado Independent’s Ernest Luning passes along this rather remarkable quote from Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), speaking earlier today at an event in Colorado.

“This cannot pass. What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing. This will not pass. We will do whatever it takes to make sure this doesn’t pass.”

She’s talking about health care reform.

1. Every time you think she's as dumb as anyone can possibly be...

...she reaches new dumbness.

[Duke Newcombe]

26. This goes beyond stupid...I actually feel sorry for the woman.

I pray she acknowledges her need for professional mental health services, Real Soon Now.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

30. We could supply her with some leeches

or some other blood letting creatures like vampires

[ChairmanAgnostic]

40. actually leeches are being studied for a variety of reasons,

between their complex and useful secretions, their ability to cleanse some things out of the blood, and as the new logo for health insurance companies.

[Libby2]

2. Slitting her wrists sounds good to me.......have at it.

[LiberalAndProud]

3. lengthwise

[TwilightGardener]

4. Make it so.

[DJ13]

5. Can we start a razor blade mailing campaign?

13. Is that right?!

I had no idea. (No plans, of course...)

[Sebastian Doyle]

15. Apparently the odds of hitting the main artery are better that way?

Not that I have any interest in trying it either. But if Michelle Bachmann does, then the least I can do is provide some educational info to help with her efforts.

[Indenturedebtor]

18. Actually the body has inate defensives against lateral cuts like that

You artery will contract and shrivel and stem the bleeding. If you cut "down the road" it is defenseless.

[yourout]

24. Oh man thats cold......funny as hell but a little twisted.

[KingFlorez]

28. People like her would never really do it

They would just make some little cuts and scream that Obama nearly drove them to suicide.

[GivePeaceAchance]

7. Even if it doesn't have that effect they'll soon realize they need health care if they are ...

profusely bleeding. Well that sorts out Bachmann's re-election having asked her constituents to take themselves out. I dread to think what her next amazing plan is.

[Colobo]

8. I hope they go at it collectively.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. Yikes!

She should get herself down to the local blood bank. Maybe she wants to donate some blood? :shrug:

[Still Sensible]

10. Well, she's half right. n/t

[Arkana]

11. Geez.

This woman's through-the-looking-glass crazy.

Or maybe she's just hilariously trolling all of us.

[Jennicut]

12. Creepy...I watched Rosemary's Baby at my brother's house the other night. Is she as Satanist or

a witch? Definitely a possibility or maybe I just have Satanists and witches on the brain...

[Mz Pip]

14. Go for it.

I might even buy tickets. If they were cheap enough.

[Historic NY]

16. It would be better if she just slit her throat.

[madmom]

58. This was my thought as well!

[nolabear]

17. Okay, you first Michelle. Betcha won't. I dare ya. n/t

[polmaven]

68. It only counts

if it's a double dog dare!

[saltpoint]

19. It's nice to have goals.

[deerheadgal]

20. The best idea she's had yet.

[Fearless]

21. Whoa! That's a whole new level of deranged there. Wow.

:wtf:

[BlueIdaho]

22. Can I help out there Michele? nt.

[MidwestTransplant]

23. um ok, you go first. I'll return in an hour and do mine then.

[TomCADem]

25. Yikes! Who Wins The Crazy Race? Glenn Beck or Bachmann?

[KingFlorez]

27. This woman is one sick freak

She sounds like some cult leader or something.

[and-justice-for-all]

29. So is Bachman suicidal or playing Elizabeth Bathory?

:shrug: :crazy:

But in her puke of a brain, she thinks these statements are "shock and aw." News flash there pickles, we already know your party is fucking straight jacket worthy.

[autorank]

31. That's a little borderline isn't it?

[formercia]

44. "Blood Brothers" ?

Is Michelle suffering from an identity crisis as well?

[autorank]

70. Multiple at least

And you're right on target.

Hey, did you hear that one of the characters in "Fargo" was based on Michelle?

[formercia]

73. Something about a Wood Chipper?

"I put my old lady on a flight."

"where did she go?"

"All over the place."

[sakabatou]

32. WTF?

[eShirl]

33. keep sounding like a crazy cult

maybe they'll all commit mass suicide and call it the Rapture

[SpartanDem]

34. I'll gladly mail her a pack of razors

[Triana]

35. "I want him to fail"

--Rush Limbaugh

THAT is that this is all about.

[LeftishBrit]

36. Wow. She needs a bit of health care herself.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

37. PLEASE, GAWD!! Let her and Sarah Failin run for president in 2012. PLEASE!!! n/t

[Proud Liberal Dem]

81. I wonder if God has gotten back to her

about whether or not she's been "called" to run for POTUS. :eyes:

[Kablooie]

38. Oh YES! We have to prevent Americans from getting healthcare at any cost! (except MY healthcare)

[tsuki]

39. She can slit her wrists. She has single payer health care and knows

that she can afford to get them sewn up. BTW, anyone posted this over at FR?

[SIMPLYB1980]

56. I don't see anything, but their fundraiser is at 98%.

How many weeks has that thing been going?:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[tsuki]

60. I was hoping it would be posted. They are all such lemmings that

take everything literally.

[DeeDeeNY]

41. Actually she's a genius

compared to the people who keep electing her

:wtf: :banghead:

[indimuse]

42. Well , Bachmann...

you GO FIRST! ;p


unreal....

[SalmonChantedEvening]

43. I know I shouldn't bother...

But I'm a helper.

Michele, it's the palm ok? The palm is used in these kinda things, it helps avoid bleeding to death.

Another tip: use butter knives. :)

[Teaser]

45. measure twice, cut once

.

[PVnRT]

46. You're doing it wrong, Michelle

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

47. As long as the outcome is the same, who cares?

[polichick]

48. Go ahead and slit your wrists, Bachmann. nt

[flpoljunkie]

49. What Republicans won't do to protect insurance company profits and scam their constituents!

They are truly despicable!

[Vinca]

50. Well, that's one way of getting rid of the truly ignorant in this country.

Considering many of the sheep are in no better shape than the rest of us re health care, they would be forced to bleed to death.

[southernyankeebelle]

51. Michelle I would be glad to provide the knife for you.

[VPStoltz]

52. Is she so starved for attention that she is trying to out-Palin Palin?

[spelldmilk]

53. How the hell did this crazy lady get elected?

[SIMPLYB1980]

54. Damn that lady is full of crazy.

:crazy:

[OwnedByFerrets]

55. And then go to the emergency room, get treatment and wait

for the fucking bill because you dont have insurance.....oh wait....YOUR on socialized medicine, you stupid hypocritical bitch.:puke:

[tomm2thumbs]

57. oh that devil's cult of hers... next she'll be starting a game of pentagram tag! 'Tag. You're it!'

[Milspec]

59. Dear Bachmann, Great Idea

[zulchzulu]

61. If you need some help, Michelle, I'd be glad to help out

I'm real good at tying nooses too. You bring the chair, babe.

[Submariner]

62. Michelle, don't forget to take your Aspirin first

[rd_kent]

63. Okay Michelle, you go first!!!

[Cha]

64. Wonder what the Native Americans in Minnesota

think of bachman's way to kill real health reform for Americans?

[Politicalboi]

65. Please Michelle

Slit up your wrist not across your wrist for the best results.

[DuaneBidoux]

66. Maybe she'll accidently cut too deep and won't be able to find a doctor

[xxqqqzme]

67. Is she starting her own death

panel?

[harris8]

69. Wow. Just Wow. NT

[Critters2]

71. I wish there were video of this. And that it would go viral. nt

[The Blue Flower]

72. Republican Suicide Squad front and center!

Always look on the bright side of life!!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

74. Emo Bachmann....

[davidpdx]

75. Good thing she didn't say anything like

taking up arms against people. The last thing we need is to rile up the nuts with guns.

[Raine]

76. Uh I'd be happy to supply the blade

and the bathtub so she can do it just like the Romans. :evilgrin:

[saltpoint]

77. Whoa, Michelle. Let's not put the manure wagon in front of the horse.

Well before you rightwing crazies slit your wrists to object to health care reform, show your supporters that you are willing to go to the wall on this one, and CLOSE THE FILE on the public health care you currently receive, FAST for many days -- MANY DAYS -- and THEN slit your wrists.

When calling down martyrdom, call it down right.

[Engineer4Obama]

78. When does this stop being free speech and start being Criminal?

Seriously what if someone takes her too seriously and actually takes her up on her madwoman advice? This woman should be in a mental hospital not congress.

[Joe Bacon]

79. Just when you think this ass can't get any holeyer...

It never fails, every day she utters something even stupider than what she spit out the day before.

[LeftishBrit]

80. Is there something really peculiar about the people in her constituency?

How does she manage to keep on getting elected when she's so obviously deranged?
