Main Content Bachmann fails political geography 101
MANCHESTER, N.H. – Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann kicked off her first swing through the Granite State with an unfortunate gaffe.

"You're the state where the shot was heard around the world at Lexington and Concord," she said Saturday morning at an event organized by the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire. "And you put a marker in the ground and paid with the blood of your ancestors.

Good, patriotic stuff … only the “Shot Heard ‘Round the World” was fired about 70 miles to the south in Concord, Massachusetts.

For a candidate already known for her gaffes in public remarks, this is not a good start for her New Hampshire debut.

Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin are an embarrassment to women. Why does the right promote such ignorance and hate intelligent women like Pelosi, and Clinton.

2. NH - it's a Granite State of Mind
Edited on Sat Mar-12-11 11:44 AM by SpiralHawk
I will never forget that within hours of Commander AWOL Bush (R) brazenly lying to claim "Mission Accomplished" in his misdirected, needless, ill-fated, lie-based, Iraq oil-profits Crusade, NH's famed 'Old Man of the Mountain' lost face and collapsed in shame at the completely disgraceful trashing of America's honor by the Republicon chickenhawk profiteer thugs.

Now Michelle Bachman comes to continue to Republicon traditions of lying, pandering, Corporate Socialism, and FAIL. Ptoooey on all that.

The wonderful, dignified Old Man before Bush's lies


The Old Man after 'losing face' with the utter disgrace of George AWOL Bush's lies:


The Old Man after RepubliCorporate Welfare Farm-Socialist Bachmann (R - Bagger) skulked into NH:

3. But,but,but....They are steeped the history of The Founders and Constitutional History
Glenn Beck told me so.

And Michelle was ciorrect. The claim that Lexington and Concord are in Blue Massachusetts is just a historical aberration promoted by liberal historians. Don't you know that?

6. My greatest shock was to learn she had been born in Iowa.
I assume she left the next day. I doubt she was educated here.

8. I don't think she could had been educated in a public school
Most likely a WELS Lutheran high school.

She went to Winoa State University, Oral Roberts University, and College of William & Mary

9. Last night on Maher..
Dana Loesch an editor for Andrew Breitbart's site big government, and teabagger said she'd like to see Michele run. Wonder what she thinks today. She's another one that's not bad to look at, but dumb as a bucket of shrimp. I couldn't believe some of the stupid shit she said on Maher.

She's also a contributor for CNN :eyes:
