We should stop ridiculing Michele Bachmann on DU.
1. It's not nice to make fun of people with intellectual deficits.
2. She appears to be blind, as well. Those aren't crazy eyes. They're eyes that aren't seeing clearly.
3. Further, it's not nice to say that someone has "crazy eyes." We should not attack people with mental disorders.
4. George W. Bush thinks she's a good kisser, so there's another reason.

Thank you for your attention.

1. Agreed
It is really sad.

I will send her $5.00 in the form of an Arby's gift card for her 2012 presidential primary campaign.

3. That would be very generous of you.
It might help her from going hungry and having to dig in the Arby's trash bin. Thank you for your kindness.

12. I was more concerned about the kids
All 37 of them.

:cry:

What happens when USDA stops subsidizing the "family farm".


I thought that money was for producing vegetables!

14. Yes, and all those children need their vegetables. I wonder who's
looking after them while Michele is out on the hustings?

Worst babysitter ever.

2. Darn.
I was hoping you were going to suggest an even better place to ridicule her.

25. Not in a chair
Not at the fair, Not under a rock, nor by the clock... Not by the well, oh what the hell..
Dr. Seus could do this so much better..

5. She's a terrific representative for the Republicans
Michele is the type that Boehner, Cantor and the rest depend on heavily for votes, but would like to stow away in a locked closet the rest of the time. When she toddles out in front of a camera, the disconnect is available for all to see, and that's not good for the "establishment" types. She represents the GOP brand sooooo well. Apparently too well.

7. Yes, she is an excellent spokesperson for the true goals of the GOP.
Just one more reason not to ridicule the poor woman.

6. I thought of another reason.
5. Michele Bachmann is apparently insecure in her sexuality, as evidence by her crouching behind a shrubbery to see how gay people live. We should encourage her to live the truth of her life.

8. I'll compromise: I promise to ridicule her elsewhere as well as on DU.
After all, that's what I do anyway. And that way, it's not like she's just ridiculed on DU.

9. I realize how easy it would be to take cheap shots at such an easy target.
So I do.

Moron.

10. No, but we should all be inquiring where she is getting her....









Mind-altering drugs.... (That is, after all, the 'kindest' explanation for Michele Bachmann's obvious "deficits" :evilgrin: )

17. I believe the correct term is "a shrubbery."
She was hiding in a shrubbery. A bush is an ineffective and stupid President. The two are often conflated.

29. I will stop ridiculing her
After she resigns, along with an apology to the American people, acknowledging that she was far too stupid to realize that she was far too stupid to hold any office, despite being re-re-elected by voters who themselves obviously were far too stupid to know that she was far too stupid to represent them in DC.

32. Way'at Kurovski!
:hi: I'm playing around with Gimp, but really miss working with Adobe Photoshop. So, I'm checking into how I can get a good deal on the basic CS5 setup (Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Standard) academic version. It may take a while though...

35. No
1. Her 'intellectual deficit' is entirely self-generated. She's not developmentally disabled or anything.
2. Kind of like George W. not being able to speak a coherent sentence - only when the sentence involved compassion or caring - she seems to have no trouble with seeing, if she's seeing what she wants to see.
3. I'll grant that mental illness comparisons are inappropriate. How about 'zombie eyes'?
4. Not knowing exactly where George W. kissed, I'll withhold judgment on that one.

On the other hand, I think it is rather a waste of time on DU. We should move the Bachmann ridicule to events which she attends personally.
