Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann told voters in Florida Sunday that Hurricane Irene and the recent East Coast earthquake were just God's way of telling politicians to reign in government spending.
"I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians," Bachmann said during the speech in Sarasota.
"We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending."
At least 21 people died over the weekend due to the storm.
UPDATE: Bachmann made a similar claim at another event (via Scarce).

She's back-pedaled a little, saying the comments were about fiscal responsibility and hurricane relief *coughBULLSHITcough* but being California-born, this article contains my favourite Bachmann quote so far this campaign: "It's not every day that we have an earthquake in the United States."
http://www.kare11.com/rss/article/936106/391/...
The earths crust moves constantly causing earthquakes on a daily basis. Many so minor that it's not reported. This has been occurring since "God" created this planet even before deficit spending. My question to Bachmann is, why did we have earthquakes before deficit spending? Must be teh gays.
is intended to be a factual statement
Oh, so Michele Bachmann says God is responsible. So, in her feeble little mind, making an asinine statement about a natural disaster that took human lives and caused extensive damage to property is to show that God is punishing unfortunate people?
This fucking moronic Mt. Everest of Stupidity is someone who should become POTUS? God help us all!!
"It was a joke" because death and massive destruction her co workers don't want to pay for w/o cuts to SS, Medicare and Medicaid is hysterically funny.
And we have temblors in Washington state several times a day.
me-oww!
She went full Pat Robertson....
is intended to be a factual statement
is hilariously stoopid.
Religion will be the downfall of Humanity.
So I've been unintentionally misspelling it the whole time??? Well color me indifferent...

If she economizes on use of L in her first name, why the hell the two Ns in her last name, I wonder?
Rather than having to go through all the trouble of setting a hurricane in motion.
Or is Bachmann's projection... ooops I mean "god" as mean spirited and stupid as she is?

Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann told
votersrubes in Florida Sunday that Hurricane Irene and the recent East Coast earthquake were just God's way of telling politicians to reign in government spending.FIFY
I know you didn't mean all of us in Florida are rubes, but unquestionably, those who turn out to see her (if not to heckle) are rubes.
Speaking of rubes... while in Florida, she said she'd consider tapping Marco The Rube Rubio as running mate. That might be a good thing. That way, maybe both could be flushed down the toilet together.
And my apologies, I was referring to the rubes in the photo.
everytime bachmann opens her mouth, she gives all the
evidence anyone needs why she would make a
fucking awful moronic president. she bathes in
the koolaid and then drinks it daily.
She drinks her own kool-aid bathwater after she bathes in it, for sure.
Religion will be the downfall of Humanity.
makes me think of a kool-aidy version of Elizabeth Bathory:

Don't believe her! The damn gays have somehow taken control of her to take the attention away from their storm-causing lifestyles!
It bears mentioning: the earthquake struck DC the day Tripoli fell, and the hurricane struck after rebels found Kadaffi's "Condi-collage" picture book. So if I were to attribute natural disasters as God's reactions to current events, it appears God is a supporter of Kadaffi.

And learn how to take responsibility for your own morbid thoughts and actions. Quit blaming everything on Liberals, Government or people you don't like.
Bachmann is your typical conservative wingnut who still acts like a baby and needs a vengeful, hateful, fearful god to punish everyone and everything they don't like. Wahhhhh!!!!
They are truly sick people and should NEVER be allowed to govern or influence anybody with their poisonous cult conservatism/religion.

It was only a joke. Ask her followers.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
The jokes, that is.

This was a rather tongue-in-cheek statement, but it has all the key words-- God, God, Washington, God-- her stoopid Xtian worriers need to get their fascist fix. But bachmann seems to be cracking herself up, knowing what a reach the statement is.
Clearly, this biatch ain't as dumb as the more northern cur; that makes her more dangerous. I still think she's angling for a VP slot...

Would that make Marcus sloppy seconds?

How in the F%$#K does that make any sense to anyone??? So God is thinking "let me see, how can I make American government humans spend less money"?? .... "I know I will cause millions of dollars in damage and kill 21 people. I am sure that will get my message across"... I don't get it and never will. And the truly sad part is she has millions of followers and has a chance to be POTUS.
Sad reflection on the "intelligence" of America, no?

Please tell us, oh anointed one. How does the Almighty communicate with you? By burning bush? Email? Or is he the voices in your head?

bachmann, when communicating with god, is it painful or estacy
to pound out a burning bush?
The more she talks, the more ridiculous she looks, and the closer to the edge of the cliff she pushes the Repugs.
Gee I thought it was god's message about austerity measures.
gawd doesn't exist. Never did, never will. But if you want to blame shit on an invisible guy, why don't you get together with cantor and make the church pony up for the damages.
Fuckin' frauds.
Humpty Dumpty was pushed.
to pay more attention to scientists. Just MAYBE.
asshole.
me-oww!
Leave Marcus out of this.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
I think the earthquake and the hurricane are God's expressions of disappointment in the field of Republican candidates for president. The only sane one is at the tail-end of the pack. All the others are brain-fried loonies.
This is her way of showing every Floridian what her migraines feel like.
Maybe Irene was meant to date Rick Scott...
...and the fact that Bachmann exists, proves there is no god.
Bachmann is such a moron. I cannot stand these far right religious zealots.
Now she is claiming that her statement was a "joke." I'm sure that the families and friends of those 21 people who died think it was a "joke." I'm sure that everyone who suffered any damage, minor or not, thinks this was a "joke."
I wonder what bachmann thinks about the tornado that ripped through the town of Joplin, Missouri 3 months ago? I don't know the political make-up of Joplin, but Missouri is a "red" state; I bet Joplin is a pretty red town. Did God send some sort of a message to the people who live there, and if so, I wonder what the message was supposed to be?
I read earlier today that rush the vile pig limbaugh said that Obama was really hoping that Hurricane Irene would be a "disaster" so he could use it as another excuse on why the economy is not recovering. I bet bachmann was hoping the earthquake and the hurricane were disasters so that her rabid religious followers could say, "see, Michele talks to God," and God is warning Washington because Michele is warning Washington.
Idiots.
God: Gov't isn't spending enough money so here's a hurricane to encourage you.
We had a shitload of hurricanes in 2004 and 2005, during the years Dubya was running up HUGE debts. And back in 1985, when Ronnie Rayguns was smashing records for running up the deficit, hurricanes affected every state on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts... a first for that record.
If Ms. Bachmann were to actually look at facts, she'd realize that if her theory is right, it says DON'T ELECT A REPUBLICAN.
Dubya must have caused that by running up the debt.
I don't think she will get too far in the general elections. That is to say, I don't think she would win. How could she possibly do well in the presidential debates? Claim that the Bachmann that said all those things was her evil twin clone?
Doesn't God know that the earthquake and hurricane will increase government spending to help pay for disater relief? Stupid God.
Both Bachmann and Perry, since they are at the top of the stinking pile of excrement that the GOP has become, are absolute proof that the GOP is no longer a political party.
The GOP is a bona fide religious nutcase party. You see it from their leaders all over the country. You hear it from their leaders all over the country.
We need to create a new dialog in this nation about this.
The Republicans are now a religious party and need to rename themselves to something like the Republican Christian Party, or the Jesus Tongues Me Party, or something more akin to what they actually are.
Oh, and you moderate Christians? You're all enablers. You wanna know why? YOU'RE not talking back to them. You don't have any voice whatsoever on the national scene. And YOU are not in control of them. THEY, on the other hand, are IN CONTROL OF THE DIALOG.
The GOP has been fully taken over by zealots and the so-called moderate Christians are sitting there twiddling their thumbs and fighting those who call them the wimps that they are. They are not standing up to the nutcases. Name ONE moderate Christian who is in control of the GOP. Name ONE.
look how that turned out, 2 fixes elections (I think 3 ) If Parry gets the nod look for another fixed election in 2012.
I concur.
A new study concludes that the Tea party is 80% the religious right re-branded - republicans. We also know the religious right is packed with white supremists.
So the GOP is a bona fide religious nutcase racist party, and now they have Dominionists leading their pack.

If we get punished with earthquakes and hurricanes for not cutting spending, what the hell did the dinosaurs do to deserve an asteroid?
Of course, asking loony-toon Bachmann that question would be a waste of time. I don't think she believes in dinosaurs.
I don't believe in God. Teach a man to be a good citizen and you have solved the problem of life.

Election 2012, lookie at all the shitheads we get to pick from. If the same fucktards go out and vote the way they did in 2008, This country is Fucked. With the repug controled voting black boxes that will say who got elected after the repugs Fix the count again, just how will America ever get back to a real goverment, one that NOT coporate owned. Only in America where the corporations are noe paying 1980's wages. Just think about it, here in texas I think they are trying to be first to have the only state that paye under $7.25hr. If you dont like it we have 50 people looking for 1 job. Where if you were bockman you live off the goverment, collect money from medcare and farm subs, but you say the goverment is spending too much. I know, lets cut people in goverment house and senate by 20% of there wages. Make them go out and buy the same shit health care we have. No that is not good, because it would be just like the SEC. Look at the shit they do to protedt walstreet and not one of them will Ever see any jail time.

...either that, or tell the ChristoFascist twit to stuff it.
I'll settle for either.

Remember Matthew Shepard:
http://vimeo.com/fuksnickityClam/matthew
Actually, God brings natural disasters because the federal government is not spending enough -- on the unemployed, hungry, and homeless. She just got things backward.
Oh, then Michelle's spokesperson said Michelle was just joking. Actually, I think she was doing a John Kyl: What I said about God, etc. was not meant to be factual.
Oh, but that is Rick Perry's like, isn't it? I mean, his spokesperson said his book "Fed UP!" was a look backward, not foward. Really!
Again, I just think they should say whatever they want, then just Kyl it when asked about it later. Works well enough, you know.
After much deliberation and soul searching, it appears to me that the hurricane was a sign from God warning us about the heretic Michelle Bachman.
sophistication. Didn't dare touch that link...

that this......FEMALE, is not fit to even represent her own damned district, let alone a country.
I'm still shaking my damned head that numbnuts in Minnesota sent this harpy to Congress in the first place. She has passed no major legislation; she has no major accomplishments to run a campaign on, and by the time KKKarl Rove gets through with his dirty dealings, which includes outing her husband, she will wish she never saw DC, period.
Blows me away that the same state that elected Al Franken to the Senate could put this deranged person in the House. There must be one (I hope only one!) verrrrrrry strange district in Minnesota.
The thing is, she wouldn't be elected to the house in the first place if it wasn't for all these 'carved out districts' that allow a politician to stay in their seat until they die. I personally believe that gerrymandering has hurt our country in the long run.
If God is warning us about anything it is global warming, and for taking nature for granted.

God is also punishing the San Francisco Giants this year. His Holy wrath has cursed their bats yea as if unto the barren thorns of a Judas tree.
so much that he sends us an expensive warning, C.O.D..
All of them. Some say Irene is punishment for gay marriage in NY. This bitch says spending(even tho storms cause how much $$?) They never make any sense...but still dangerous, because people listen to this crap. Shut them all up. Lock them up and throw away the key.
Republicans piss me off. Uncle Tom gay republicans piss me off even more, for they, of all people, should know better.

God is acting more and more like a drunken investment banker. He's pissed we are spending too much so he sends disasters that are going to cost the government millions.
"Too big to fail?" I'm switching my allegiance to one of the lesser Gods, maybe Abellio, the Celtic God of apple trees.
evil and therefore caused by the devil.
i wonder if his head is exploding to learn that it is actually God behind these atrocities
... and told me that the disasters will continue until the GOP stops the crazy.
That which Michele does not comprehend, she attributes to "the mighty hand of the Lord" … which explains why, in Bachmann's world, God is intervening in just about everything.
Next time, perhaps Michele will opt to "phone a friend" before stating one of her irrational observations.
Spin-doctors are once again working overtime trying to cover Bachmann's ass, now insisting that she was only kidding … as though that is a more satisfying explanation.
Bachmann to the families whose homes and businesses were destroyed and/or suffered the loss of loved ones who died due to the hurricane:
"Can't you take a joke!"
God says whatever the preacher wants him to say, and what he says loudest is, "Give the preacher more power!"
To run for President so I can incinerate all non-believers. Bring on Armageddon cause Jeezus's mothership will rescue me and all true believers to a fluffy heaven where its happy 24/7. Religion and politics are as volatile nitro glycerin. Why not tax the churches. Hey media whores, start asking this woman some questions about her crazy ideas while submitting to her husband. Gag gag gag
This politician opens her mouth and stpid pours out. She is so freaking far out of touch it's unbelievable. What's even more unbrelievable is the number of people that will vote for this person.
He'd probably be sending the disasters to show how pissed he was at "believers" putting words into his mouth, if anything.
I've little respect for opportunists as desperate as she.
This woman IS an IDIOT !
that taught that taking the Lord's name in vain is a sin.
How about the hugh wild fires in Northern Minnesota?. It was so bad that the winds caused smoke and haze as far south as Chicago This was last week.. We found that out when people were getting sore throats and stinging eyes and called the fire departments to find out where the fires were. The fire departments sent out firefighters looking but couldn't find any fires, then they found out about the Minnesota fires which caught an updraft that sped the smoke and haze south. Maybe God was telling Michele to shut the fck up.
