#1 - Bachmann admitted she made a mistake saying John Wayne was born in her hometown of Waterloo, Ioha.

#2 - Bachmann REFUSED to admit she screwed up when she claimed that the nation's Founding Fathers "worked tirelessly to end slavery".

#3 - Bachmann claim John Quincy Adams was a founding father and also fought tirelessly to end slavery.

#4 - Bachmann said "But one thing people know about me is that I'm a substantive, serious person and I have a strong background."


After Bachmann's interview, ThinkProgress notes that John Quincy Adams' Wikipedia page was edited to describe him as a "Founding Father."

Yup..the right wingers are re-writting history every day just to ensure their bimbo leaders are viewed as correct and righteous. John Quincy Adams was NINE YEARS OLD when the Declaration of Independence was signed...and now the right wingers have forced the title of "Founding Father" upon him just for Bachmanns sake.

Makes me wonder about the US population. To think droolers like her and Palin can even get a job at Walmart is worrying. But she's going for the top job. Republicans must definitely be droolers themselves.

The worst we have is posh politicians. At least they are fucking smart ex Oxford and eton boys.


You get retards.

Yeah everyone moans that the tories and the like are upper-class, but I'd rather have a prime minister with an education than a president with no clue whatsoever.

One of the most important responsibilities that an American politician has is to be a good source of comedic material. In that respect, Palin and Bachmann are doing a great job! Republicans always seem to be very good at living up to that all important responsibility.

I've been crawling over the John Quincy Adam's page, and yes, there were edit wars going on, where verifiable lies were being inserted in, no doubt by the Bachmann brigade.

She is a veritable loony, and everyone who votes for her should have their heads examined and be forced to read "The 14 Characteristics of Fascism" by Lawrence Britt.

It is always annoying how many loony conservatives will accuse their opposition of being "Nazis" while engaging in historical revisionism, bald racism and general, beloved ignorance.

The biggest problem with these conservatives is not that they're frequently wrong about facts, which is of course in itself insulting to the American people, but the fact that they can never own up to it, even when presented with irrefutable evidence. Look at what Sarah Palin said even when confronted by Fox that she got her Paul Revere facts wrong. I would say that's audacious, but the moronic conservative followers let them get away with it, so why own up to your own faults if you don't have to?

You forgot the best part: There actually was a John Wayne who lived in that town. His full name was JOHN WAYNE GACY JR. I hear he made a good name for himself as a birthday party clown. I hear he really slayed those boys he entertained.

Quote:#3 - Bachmann claim John Quincy Adams was a founding father and also fought tirelessly to end slavery.

Well, he was, as mentioned before, about nine when the Declaration of Independence was signed, and not old enough to be involved with the constitutional convention. That said, in his later years, he was involved in the abolition movement, and even defended the slaves from the Amistad.

Ah America a nation where people like Michelle Bachmann are taken seriously as political figures.

Republicans have nearly always put forward weak candidates (Teddy Roosevelt notwithstanding), because they are more easily controlled/maniuplated.

All I have to say to say to MB: Remove head from sphincter, then speak.
