Bachmann: "Don't Let Them Palinize Me!"

[RedEarth]

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has a message for her supporters in a new fundraising letter: Don't let the media do to her what they did to Sarah Palin -- "Don't let them Palinize me!"

"With Governor Palin taking a well-deserved step out of the spotlight, it appears that I may be absorbing even more of the liberals' scorn," says Bachmann. "And, I'd really appreciate your support so that I can defend myself against their attacks. Click here to make a donation!"

She later adds: "But just as they did with Sarah Palin, the more I talk about the issues, the more they attack with below-the-belt personal hits. In fact, yesterday, a Minnesota paper gave a full column to a hit piece on one of my kids!" This would appear to be a reference to the joking stories about her son joining Teach For America, after she'd called AmeriCorps a "re-education camp" and that she would be very concerned about her own children ever joining.

1. Honey, you done Palinized yourself.

And what's more, you started doing it before anyone outside Alaska knew who Palin was.

A story about her son joining Teach For America is a "hit piece"?...And she's afraid of OTHERS Palinizing her?...oh boy.

[redqueen]

7. Yes, anything they don't like is a 'hit piece'. Actual facts

have little bearing on the batshit insane opinions these people manage to form in their tiny little minds.

[AuntPatsy]

2. My god, do they ever stop with this bs.....and I think I despise those that

use these made up terms even more so, I swear these people are sick, very sick...power is all they are after...they care nothing about the people of this country, absolutely nothing...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

3. Don't Palinize yourself, blockhead!

:eyes:
I like that word. It describes perfectly what the republican party has done to itself.

[tomm2thumbs]

4. First sanitize THEN palinize

[MineralMan]

5. Michele, dear...you've done an excellent job of that

all by yourself, bless your heart.

[BlooInBloo]

6. Pfft. You were Palin before there was Palin.

[Enrique]

8. I heard Obama's going to have forced Palinization

:scared:

[TokenQueer]

9. Silly Bachmann, it's pronounced Palinese.

...oh you betcha!

[opihimoimoi]

10. Is she still babbling?? Get that woman to the rehab..she is one sick puppy

[SIMPLYB1980]

11. LoL! She already did that to herself.

[Douglas Carpenter]

12. in other words, "don't let people quote the things I say, especially in context"

[gratuitous]

21. That's it

You'll forgive the expression, "That's it in a nutshell." Apparently being reminded of something she said is sufficient for Ms. Bachmann to feel horribly oppressed.

[FiveGoodMen]

13. Here's a big FUCK YOU to Minnesota's 6th district!

That's who inflicted her on all of us.

[yodermon]

15. and they re-elected her even *after* her meltdown on Hardball.

during the 2008 campaign.
:scared:

[FiveGoodMen]

26. Yup.

The 6th is a short drive from where I live (in the 4th) and yet they come from another planet.

Well, probably from another state. We used to say that the cold kept the riff-raff out of Minnesota, but I think those 'best places to live' magazine pieces from 15-20 years ago precipitated our downfall.

[drm604]

14. They're two of a kind.

Call them Bachmann Palin Overdrive.

[Deja Q]

16. Is she talking about her 15 other personalities? Is she Sybil's sister? With MPD?

[hvn_nbr_2]

17. She's not at all like Palin

Palin is stupid first, with only a side order of batshit crazy.
Bachmann is batshit crazy first, with a generous heaping side order of stupid.

[Arkana]

18. We don't care about you, Crazypants.

[spanone]

19. bwahahahaha...sarah is a verb....bwahahahahah

[Blue_In_AK]

20. Oh, there's enough scorn to go around, Sweetie.

[Catshrink]

22. Birds of a feather: Palin, Bachmann, V. Foxx, Orly Taitz

All batshit crazy -- but for some reason, I can't stop watching.

[Robb]

23. ...

[SoCalDem]

24. Then stop saying stoooopid shit, Michele

:rofl:

[shadowknows69]

25. And Bachmann takes the lead again for craziest female politician

It's going to be a close race Dan.

[bvar22]

27. My favorite Bachmann photos:

Here is Michele hiding in the bushes from a group demonstrating for Equal Rights on the steps of the State Capitol in St Paul.
Michele said she wasn't hiding, that she was tired and was only resting.




At the State of the Union 2004, Michele ambushed Bush the Lesser, who went for a cheeky air kiss.
Michele faked the air kiss, and went for the surprise full on the mouth attack.



This one speaks for itself.
Michele did everything short of raising her skirt and bending over.



Even the Media though she was more than a little over the polite line.

[TahitiNut]

28. Another member of the "party of responsibility" plays victim for being a prideful imbecile.

I suppose she thinks IQ tests are a "liberal conspiracy"??

What an utter ass ... bankrupt both morally and ideologically.
:puke:

[BuyingThyme]

29. Is there a special spray for that?

[Wednesdays]

30. K&R

:kick:

[DCKit]

31. But... but Sarah's their HEROIN!

There goes yet another (R)-batshit crazy playing the victim - while terrorizing others.

You're not a victim Michele, you're an IDIOT with a minor in MORAN and frequent forays into insane.

[scheming daemons]

32. Don't tase me, bro!
