Michelle Bachman Overdrive denies racist attacks on lawmakers
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) told a crowd at a Duluth, Minn., rally over the weekend that there is no evidence that several black lawmakers were harassed by conservative protesters on Capitol Hill in the days leading up to the health care reform vote.

Black lawmakers, including civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), reported that they had been spat on and slurred by protesters demonstrating against the health reform bill last week.

"Democrats said that they were called the 'N word,' which of course would be wrong and inappropriate. But no one has any record of it. No witness saw it, it's not on camera, it's not on audio," she said. "They said that they were spat upon. No one saw it."

She went on, "There's a $10,000 reward right now for anyone who can produce a video or an audio. Don't you think we would have seen a video or an audio by now if there was something out there?"

Edited: Or maybe, not. The video really didn't show it.

4. S O P for the G O P




Deny everything until someone comes up with a video.

And then it's "Well they did it TOO!!" (waah waah)

5. Send her a copy of the video. Then demand her to pay $10,000.
If she doesn't take her to court.
