This week’s target on the MSNBC Conservative Character Assassination Wheel, Michele Bachmann, her staff, and the “ignorant voters” who elected her.
As the rest of the world was watching the updates on Japan while hoping and praying for good news about the terrible tragedy facing our friends across the Pacific, MSNBC‘s Lawrence O’Donnell was busy “staying on message” and attacking Michele Bachmann while insulting the people who voted for her.
Politicians are aware that they will be targets. When you file to put your name on a ballot you accept that those who are not supporting you might be vocal about their personal choice. That’s life. But it seems a tad strange to see this media personality expanding his attack beyond the Congresswoman and her staff to the people who actually voted and elected her.
Yes, the Congresswoman from Minnesota made a mistake last weekend while speaking in New Hampshire, but candidates make mistakes on the campaign (announced or unannounced) trail. Witness one such campaign gaffe.
57 States? He was tired, move on.
And sometimes those same candidates get elected and still misspeak:
20 Centuries ago?
While embarrassing, a gaffe or two (or in VP Biden’s case, a bucket full of them) just happens to be part of reality of being human and working in a field where your every move is scrutinized and posted on YouTube.
Back to Michele Bachmann and the interminable attacks launched against her by the obviously slanted and threatened media on the Left. Lawrence O‘Donnell has decided that the voters in Minnesota’s 6th District must be ignorant if they elected someone with different policies and priorities than his. READ MORE...
Bachmann is simply not electable.
ReplyDeleteHey O'Donell, where's your criticizm for the dingbats who elected a pro CAIR/ Muslim Brotherhood,pro Hamas Muslim who JUST HAPPENS to be an active member of the Democrat Socialists of America? Seriously.
ReplyDeleteI agree Bachmann is not electable. I mean, look who we have in the White House! Can you say "Stupid American voter?" America has the dumbest voters and are too idiotic to vote for someone like Bachmann, who would easily fix this country and go to a fair tax, eliminate wasteful spending and return to constitutional principles which both parties, especially democrats, ignore. The same principles that made this country the greatest on earth, until progressives controlled the house since 2006 and Presidency in 2008 and destroyed...
ReplyDeleteAmerica is so fucking dumbed down, I would put my money on that moron Puff Daddy/p-Diddy/mouth chees whatever-his-name is, running on a ticket with lady Gaga, to win the WH in 2012, its just how dumb we've become. And I will excuse the tea partiers from the "stupid" comments...You are our only hope.
