Bachmann stares down heckler in Iowa

[nmbluesky]

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Michele Bachmann said again Monday that the American intervention in Libya was a mistake — but this time she had to talk over a heckler who shouted vulgarities at her.

Jenny Watkins, 22, shouted at Bachmann from the back of a large room at the University of Iowa here, while a male companion held a sign that read "Desensitized Homosexual" — a reference to an earlier part of Bachmann's speech, when she said she worried that children in elementary school would be desensitized to homosexuality. The two might have been escorted out with little fanfare, but Bachmann stopped to address them — "If you'd like to ask a question later, I'd be more than happy to have you do that," she said before continuing to talk about Libya.

And she spent a significant portion of her speech talking about national security and concerns about the future of the Middle East.

"He wasn't perfect, but Mubarak was one of the best friends that we had in the Middle East region,” Bachmann said. “When Mubarak was in trouble, where was the president? He was sitting on his hands and let Mubarak fall.

"We don't know which way this will go — it could be positive, maybe we'll see a rise in democracy that would be a good thing," Bachmann said of the region. "But equally it could go the other way — we could see a rise of jihadists."
