I know, it's over an hour long and no-one's expected to watch the whole thing, lol. I just thought it was worth sharing another spectacle she's making of herself. I'll add shorter clips if they get uploaded.

On a serious note, for anyone who may have missed it, I went into detail http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=433x244130">here about why she and other politicians and public figures should be arrested and charged under Title 18.

No transcript found yet but here's an article about it.

From boxing ring, Bachmann decries ‘pantywaist Republicans’

By ANDY BIRKEY 3/29/10

Rep. Michele Bachmann entered a boxing ring in Duluth Saturday to speak at the Win Back Washington rally, a Tea Party–inspired campaign event. She told the audience that Democrats were fabricating incidents of aggression by anti-health reform protesters and issued a challenge to moderate Republicans to move out of the GOP.

Event organizer Corinda Horton introduced Bachmann: “I am so excited to have her here. This is our boxing ring and to have her here to fight for our country in our boxing ring.”

To that Bachmann said, “It doesn’t get better than speaking inside a boxing ring.” She later added, “We gotta duke it out between now and November and we will turn this country around in November.”

She chastised Democrats for passing health care reform and put moderate Republicans on notice.

“On the Republican side, there is no time and no patience for pantywaist Republicans. No pantywaist Republicans. No wussie Republicans,” she said. “We need Republicans with a spine who will tell it like it is.”

She insinuated that Democrats made up stories of racial invectives and spitting in order to paint the Tea Party movement as racists.

“They were smeared by the Democrats this week. You may have heard where Democrats said they were called the n-word — which of course would be wrong — but nobody has any record of it,” she said. “They said they were spat upon, no one saw it. I walked right through the gauntlet of where they were; no one saw it.”

(Note to mods, I thought that as this article is made up mostly of quotes and it's hard to choose what to edit, it would be ok to go over the 4 para limit in this instance)

7. Aw, give the poor lady a break -
is it her fault that she's been demonically possessed by the same entity that possessed Joe McCarthy?

8. Does she believe Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat?
How about the assassination of Lincoln?

Roosevelt's charge up San Juan Hill?

Without video evidence, who knows what happened, eh?
