Bachmann Warns of Hezbollah 'Missile Sites' in Cuba
Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann said Monday that it would be "foolish" to normalize trade with Cuba because Hezbollah could soon have "missile sites" there.
"Why would you normalize trade with a country that sponsors terror?" the candidate asked a crowd of supporters in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. "There is reports that have come out that Cuba has been working with another terrorist organization called Hezbollah. And Hezbollah is looking at wanting to be part of missile sites in Iran and, of course, when you are 90 miles offshore from Florida, you don't want to entertain the prospect of hosting bases or sites where Hezbollah could have training camps or perhaps have missile sites or weapons sites in Cuba. "
Bachmann was most likely basing her fear on an unsubstantiated report from the Italian publican Corriere della Sera, which was picked up by numerous conservative websites earlier this month (see here, here, here and here.)
Even if that report were true, it makes absolutely no mention of "missile sites."
Bachmann then pivoted to explain that Republicans didn't need to worry about picking the most electable nominee because the country had already decided not to re-elect President Barack Obama.
"I'm just here to tell you, Barack Obama will be a one-term president," she said. "The country has already made up it's decision. I am convinced of it. The issue is who will be our nominee? Will it be someone who understands these issues so they will go and fight for them or will we have a compromise candidate?"
"Because we have candidates that have said that when it comes to Obamacare that their plan is to issue an executive order or to issue a waiver. I'm here to tell you, I get this bill. I fought it. I am the chief author against it. I was called Barack Obama's chief critic. That's my badge of honor, to be his chief critic. Because I understand what some of the other candidates do not... We can't settle, and 2012 is it. We will have socialized medicine for ever and ever and ever in this country unless we get it out in 2012."

I checked the links. Big surprise:
Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, and two from her "foreign policy adviser" Frank Gaffney.
The woman is worse than Palin when it comes to believing every hysterical conspiracy theory the fanatical wild-eyed fringe Right can dream up.
From FEMA Concentration camps to "Obama's Kenyan grandmother witnessed his birth"... Bachmann believes this crap because she caught the RW Paranoia bug LONG ago. Just make some crap up, and if she thinks it'll help her, she repeats it.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if her "HPV woman" turned out to be a plant that was F'ing with her.

A psychiatrist needs to evaluate Bachmann for Occupational psychosis.
According to wikipedia it's the concept that one's occupation or career makes that person so biased that they could be described as psychotic. Especially common in tight occupational circles, individuals can normalize ideas or behaviours that seem absurd or irrational to the external public.
Do you really think it's a good idea for this woman to sit on the Intelligence Committee??
It's ok, it's not like any will rub off on her...

The only thing that will make Bachmann go away is if we simply ignore her.
She has ZERO credibility.
And wild eyes!
She scares me!

Cuba is far less of a threat that this waste of protoplasm. Once again-- thanks MN. Here the rest of the US thought electing these dipshits was best left to the Deepest South, Texas, and KKKnazi holdouts in the Mountain West.

"UIh, excuse me Ms. Bachmann. But if Cuba were to suddenly start lobbing missiles at the U.S., do you think they might be concerned that we'd SEE where they are coming from and retaliate?"
"Do you think Cuba wants to start a war with the U.S.?"
"How does Hezbollah, 7,000 miles away in Palestine, sneak missiles into Cuba when the Soviets couldn't do it 50 years ago?"

They just don't have shit, if they don't have fear to sell, do they?
She is right about the health care though. If they do not get rid of it quick the people will find out how much better it is than what they had before and it will take seventy years of demonizing it to convince people to give it up.
According to what one of the judges (can't recall which one) said a few days ago, it is very likely that the Supremes will make a simple ruling that there have been no damages yet sustained, therefore there is no reason to declare Obamacare un-Constitutional.
This particular judge said that according to federal law (and I'm sure all the lawyer suits in Congress thoroughly vetted this one), it will take the first person who is "fined" or "taxed" for the penalty to declare damages and begin the challenge to the Constitutionality of the law.
That will be well into 2015 or so.
By the time the courts deal with the problem Obamacare and it's mandated state exchanges etc. will be so deeply entrenched that the only way to deal with it will be to improve on it, remove the "mandate" (if it is ruled un-Constitutional) and move to an Improved Medicare for All system which already has a Constitutionally established precedent as a federal program.

If she gets nominated, there's probably a hundred million people in this country that would vote for her. That's one hundred million people as stupid or stupider than her. The way to fix this is to fix the education system. When people learn to think for themselves (or at least learn a little more about the world), they wouldn't fall for this side-show freak.
The US is paying for China's ships, fighter jets and army??
What bullsh*t. Care to explain that, you nutty bimbo?
Bachmann admits the US was the world's biggest creditor nation in the world at the beginning of Reagan's term. She neglects to mention Reagan TRIPLED THE NATIONAL DEBT AND TURNED THE US INTO A DEBTOR NATION.
we buy their products and they take the profits and build their military. We just make it easy for them in a roundabout way.
The reverse is actually the more accurate truth. China directly lends the US government several $Billion per day - which enables the US to build its aircraft carriers, jets and pay its soldiers. The US pays interest on this, extending the amount of the debt.
on the money they loan us is profit on top of the profits they make off the sales of products they sell us?
Michele is just upset cause there are no missile sites planted in her bedroom, 7 feet from her.

Michelle, honey. It's was funny for a while but you really need to think about getting back on your medications.
Apparently, in Bachmann's world, the logistics of acquiring, transporting, and successfully deploying missiles with a range of ninety miles are a piece of cake.
Also: maybe if you normalized relations with a country, they'd be less likely to want to harbor terrorists in the first place.
And the bad guys did it without being seen.

God, she's such a fucking idiot.
This is a disqualifying offense.

"Bat-shit" Bachmann, howlin' at the moon.
I don't even know where to begin with this one.
I mean, the most dangerous thing Cuba has "launched" towards us in the last generation or so was the boat that held the kid that everyone flipped out over back in the Clinton years.
...have ever possibly thought that this delusionally paranoid imbecile was qualified to be a member of congress let alone presidential material?
As an earlier poster said,
God, what a fucking idiot!
Bachmann warns of Hezbollah missile sites around Uranus.
I have bad news Shelly. You know the President, that black guy you're bagging on all the time. There's another black guy WWWWAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY less popular than him... and he's kicking your ass poll wise. Shut your hole, TWAT.

if michelle was not married to the forbidden fruit, she might
notice the defunct missle site between her legs.
and that bar is set VERY low.
Well, michelle did finish dead last in the FL straw poll, with a whopping 1% there, granny. Dunno how much more trivial one can get...

Wh...um...why would Hezbollah attack the United States? That wouldn't accomplish anything except to bring a hammer down on them they don't want. They're not irrational terrorists like al Qaeda, they're political terrorists like the IRA.

Wouldn't it be funny if Bachmann did win the primary, only to prove how ridiculous this statement is?
Forcing people to pay insurance companies high rates for substandard coverage with insanely high copays and low coverage limits is socialized medicine?
On what planet?
BTW - I didn't see any missile site on my last visit to Cuba. But I did see a US Marine base.

Republican baggers always need to have a supply of clean underwear handy because they are terrified of everything. If you see one on the street, creep up to them and say 'BOO'. At that moment, they will need to go running to the nearest rest room and change their underwear. Every single one of them is a frightened, shivering little coward and will believe every word that someone like Bachmann will tell them no matter how transparently stupid it is. Then they will go out and vote against their best interest.
Wow. You know, at least with Palin you could make the argument that she is at least, relatively sane (Stupid as a crowbar, but sane). This one, Jesus Christ! It speaks volumes about how corrupt our corporate media is that they've made this fruitloop a credible candidate for President.

where I had to look up ever Congressman's website. Michele Bachmann is the only member of Congress to use her official Congressional website to insult the president.
It's also a really poorly set up site, for a Congresswoman.
She's also using her official site to campaign on. She's the only one doing that on her site as well.
Truly classless.

Good question but if Cuba is willing to overlook all the US state sponsored terror (much of it toward them) I think we shouldn't question their motives.

Limit yer weirdo sermons to Minnesota people.
but can't we just shurt her up for GOOD?
I would suggest that she's not crazy rather shrewd. She is using wedge politics well much like Bush did.
With the crazy system of states controlling who can vote and the methods, times etc in Federal elections.
Karl Rove etc have shown that the fewer people vote the bigger the chance they have of winning.
i.e. 30% of the population becomes greater if say only 55-60% of the total population bother to vote...piss with choices etc.
This is all based on the premise that their side is more motivated, (read angry, frightened etc) .
The Republicans want the liberals to rubbish the ignorant masses heroes Backman, Perry and that woman from Alaska it heightens their feelings of being put/spoken down to...it also increases their blind rage to the point they feel more than think. In this way the powers behind/in the Republicans can further their agenda .
The reality is that Gdubbya wouldn't have survived at an ivy University if he had been as dumb as he appeared. Anyone who has had to face final year topics can attest to the demanded precision.
In truth Bush etc have are playing roles . Frankly they are sucker punching everyone.
I can assure you that the techniques they are using are old and well used in advertisements and marketing.
Bachman/ Perry etc are both dangerous and completely ruthless to their end i.e. power......Their interest in the 'common folks' is opportunism on steroids and as genuine as a $3 bill.
It might be fun to exercise amusing vitriol but that's like swimming in a gattor invested creek and tormenting them with insults on how ugly they are. Watch out and take them serious.
The wannabe Dem senator for Mass. Has the right game . I'm almost considering moving to ensure her election. She has the skill of talking to the common person but still putting forward a progressive agenda the mass can comprehend.
