The Tea Party’s ridiculous hissy fit over Jimmy Hoffa
By Greg Sargent

snip...

So perhaps it’s worth noting that Bachmann used precisely the same “take out” phrase in calling on supporters to target her political opponents — and amusingly enough, she used the phrase at a Tea Party rally.

Here’s Bachmann, at an April 2010 Tea Party tax protest gathering:

“We’re on to this gangster government,” she declared...
She appealed directly for tea partiers to swing behind “constitutional conservatives” in congressional campaigns, just as they contributed to Scott Brown’s upset in the Massachusetts Senate race in an early test of their potency.

“I am the No. 1 target for one more extremist group to defeat this November,” she said. “We need to have your help for candidates like me. We need you to take out some of these bad guys.”

1. But, but...when Bachman does it, well it is ok...

:sarcasm:

2. IOKYAR

Republicons are not like normal people. They live under a 'special' moral code that makes them NOT responsible for the shit they comdemn in others.

It's call hypocrisy, and the Republicons specialize in it.

3. Michelle Bachmann MUST denounce them!

Or else she sanctions violence against her opponents! :eyes:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

6. herself. She must denounce herself, or else she

sanctions the very violence that she thinks is improper by onion thugs.

Onions bad. Cheesecake good.

I really wish someone with the technical prowess managed to create the image of a burning bush as she walks by, and tells her that Jesus loves her, but doesn't like her political stances. Imagine the cognitive stress and synaptic dissonance she would feel. Like a fembot in Austin Powers.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. Thanks for the mental image!

:spray:

4. That's "different", of course

OK to speak of "taking out" godless anti Amercian leftist types.

Or as the other person said, IOKWYAR

[GodlessBiker]

5. Are Perry and Romney at the top of her list?

[udbcrzy2]

13. That was my first thought too:) n/t

[TeamsterDem]

8. Her phrasing doesn't trouble me nearly as much as her ignorance, blindness, stupidity, and general

outlook do. She said it in a context of voting; only a moron would deduce she meant to go and harm someone. Then again, she speaks to a group almost universally comprised of morons, so who knows. :)

[Booster]

9. Yeah, but both of these women can claim insanity.

[samsingh]

10. bachman is truly stupid

and dangerous

[bahrbearian]

11. Don't retreat . Reload

[geardaddy]

12. “I am the No. 1 target for one more extremist group to defeat this November,”

Wow, delusions of grandeur.

[SoCalDem]

14. take out,,. on a date? at a Chinese restaurant?

with a mafia hit?

the term "take-out", and the plethora of other commonly used phrases, are always fodder for the "other side", no matter who uses them or in what context.

taking aim
mowing down
straight shooter
a hit job
gunning for
the list goes on and on..

[spanone]

15. shhhh, you don't want the media to look biased, do you?

[Bluebear]

16. Kick

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

17. Of course she'll say that she meant "defeat in an election"

But you can't evaluate those words according to a general, commonly accepted meaning. You've got to take into account the fact she counts a lot of psychotic gun-toting nuts among her crowds of supporters. There are some who will take her words literally.

[onethatcares]

18. bingo, you nailed it.

it's not what she said but how the marbles in the guntoting supporter misinterpreted the words.

I've wondered how they would feel if we were to excercise our constitutional right to openly carry at one of her appearances in Arizona or one of the other NRA states.

19. Video proof

20. K&R n/t

[bengalherder]

21. In the land of internet, it will bite your ass n/t

[unkachuck]

22. "We need you to take out some of these bad guys."

....is this evil, snaky, tea-bagging hag from Minnesota calling for more people to be shot like Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford or killed like young Christina Green?

....why is pathetic scum like bachmann even allowed to run for president?
