2. Even a Stopped Clock is Right Twice a Day
(and it isn't intentional, just a coincidence, in the nature of clocks).

This is a "bankster" government, as in "Bank + Gangster". I'm sure that's not what she meant, but it is true, nonetheless.

3. You forgot one obvious choice
Bachmann is a total fuckin' moron (note the correct spelling) and should not be allowed to breathe the same air that I do.

5. I've never actually seen her breathe.
I'm fairly certain she subsists solely on a steady supply of crazy.

8. I don't think even she knows what she means by it
I think it's a zinger that one of her handlers came up with, they snuck it into some speeches, her followers responded, and so they drilled it into her. She might as well be saying "suitcase trundlefish" for all it means to her.

11. What does Palin, Gingrich, Huckabee, Bachmann et al. mean when...
Edited on Mon Mar-07-11 10:06 PM by Liberal_Stalwart71
they claim that Obama "isn't like us," or "isn't American," or "is a communist, socialist, Nazi thug?"

Translation: "I can't call him a ni**er, so I have to use these other ad hominem attacks instead."

13. It's probably a trap. She accuses our first black President of running a gangster government.
We call her racist. She says she was referring to Chicago's gangster history. Republicans try to paint liberals as being over sensitive.

That's my guess.

14. Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin are essentially female versions
of Randolph and Mortimer Duke.

First person to get the reference wins a prize.

(not really)

Quite a diverse crowd here.

20. Depends how it's spelled
Calling someone a gangster would be anti-Italian. Calling someone a gangsta would be anti-black.

21. While I don't generally approve of sending someone to Guantanamo
I think Michelle Bachmann should be sent there. Palin could be her cellmate.

24. Ya think she cares that Obama is allowing too many of Bush's gangster policies to continue?
Bush could BE a gangster openly with so many because he was a privileged white fascist. Obama can't even continue Bush's policies without being attacked by the GOP hypocrites that thrive in this dumbed down nation.

28. That's not it at all. Don't get me wrong. In my book she's a racist, but it's not that reason.
She says it because she sees him as a Chicago gangster. Like he's a dirty dealer and he was able to go to top universities through connections and bribery. She says that all the time. About his connections to Soros and all this other nonsense.
