Police Reports Show Different Side of Bachmann


The Miami Herald uncovers a trail of police reports involving Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN).

"She and her staff over the years have requested police protection or investigations when her house was egged; when protesters threw glitter on her or held up critical signs; when her campaign yard signs were stolen; when a man wrote an email perceived as a threat; and when she screamed that two women were holding her hostage 'against my will' in a city hall restroom."

The series of police reports "show a side of a candidate rarely seen on the campaign trail, where Bachmann has described herself as having a 'titanium spine.'"

4. The Paranoia is strong in that one, but most of the jesus-freeks I've known are paranoids
I don't recall that I've ever known a jesus-freek that didn't think the non-believers were out to get them, to tempt them, to disgrace them, to turn them to idolatry, a pretty amusing notion when you consider that's all they are themselves. If they weren't so damned dangerous I'd just ignore them, but the nutcase-bastards are capable of doing some real harm to society.

Damn, bet Larry Craig is wishing he came up with that excuse,

10. I believe one of those women was a former nun
And they only sought to discuss her anti-gay marriage views, which she had spoken about earlier that evening. The woman is a disgusting homophobe.

11. Hmm, that reminds me of something....
Fox News Chief Roger Ailes Can’t Stop Calling the Cops


John Cook—Fox News chief Roger Ailes and his wife Elizabeth must get spooked a lot in their weekend home in rural Putnam Valley, N.Y., because they call 911 a lot. During one 30-day period last summer, police cars were dispatched to their address six times.

All told, according to police records we obtained from the Putnam County Sheriff's Department via New York's Freedom of Information Law, cops have been called to the Ailes' home 10 times since 2009. In eight of those calls, units were actually sent to the house. None of the calls resulted in an investigation, arrest, or determination that any criminal activity had taken place.

Ailes, a former Nixon aide, is known for his paranoid behavior. He is licensed to carry a handgun in New York City, has claimed to be the victim of numerous death threats, travels with a security detail, and has placed his homes under video surveillance.

According to the police reports, the Aileses were never in any danger. In January 2009, for instance, Elizabeth Ailes called to report a "suspicious vehicle" parked near their home. A police car arrived within 15 minutes to find a locked Dodge Caravan registered to a local resident. "Left Putnam County Sheriff's Department card on car notifying owner we were called and to remove vehicle," the report says. Another report, from August 2010, shows that a houseguest named Laura Lindsley—who appears to be the sister of Joseph Lindsley, the 27-year-old editor whom the Aileses hired to run their papers and later had tailed—accidentally dialed 911 from the residence. Another documents a February 7, 2011 burglar alarm call in which Roger, who was not in Putnam County at the moment, asked Joe Lindsley to enter the home and scare off any intruders before the police arrived. Lindsley resigned shortly thereafter.

Behold the conservative paranoid mind-set.
