MSNBC
Tonight during the show we showed you the return of, as Lawrence put it, "the old John McCain" as he went after, again quoting Lawrence, "Bat Crap Crazy" Michele Bachmann.
We played just a small portion of Sen. McCain's remarks given from the Senate floor, today. The Arizona Republican vehemently defended State Department Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin against claims made by Rep. Bachmann and four other Republicans, alleging she could have connections with the Muslim Brotherhood. But Sen. McCain said quite a bit more than we had time to show on you the air.
Today, Rep. Michele Bachmann also received a blistering critique from her former campaign chief, Republican strategist Ed Rollins.
In an editorial posted to FOXNews.com today, Rollins wrote:
Having worked for Congressman Bachman's (sic) campaign for president, I am fully aware that she sometimes has difficulty with her facts, but this is downright vicious and reaches the late Senator Joe McCarthy level.
The Republican Party... is going to become irrelevant if we become the party of intolerance and hate. ...Mrs. Bachmann you know better. Shame on you, Michele!
Rep. Bachmann responded today with a statement posted to her official House website. You can read the whole thing here, but the last line says it all:
"This is just the latest example of the dangerous national security decisions made by the Obama administration. I will not be silent as this administration appeases our enemies instead of telling the truth about the threats our country faces."
You can also read the letter (one of several, actually) Rep. Bachmann and four other Republicans sent to the State Department right here.

the crazy bat lady has made herself irrelevant as Sununu...
I posted this last night and I will say it again new. Mr. Romney is hiding indeed. What you may ask? I shall enlighten you. In his taxes he seems to be afraid of a certain aspect of them. Now then it is no coincidence that Mr. Romney is PROJECTING his own short comings on President Obama. He is now regularly implying that the President is foreign AND saying as much through surrogates and himself. Foreign. The President is foreign he says. Why? He projects this because my source says he himself s foreign. Not a citizen you may ask? Not at all. BUT! And that is his wife's very BIG! But, he formed a group with 6 other men I am told as "foreign investors" only its him to America. He as an American citizen is a foreign investor to his OWN country. THIS is what he is hiding. ; ]
It is not that he is ashamed of his wealth his psychological make up and profile tells ME he wishes everyone to KNOW how wealthy he is. He likes thinking of himself as better than you or I. BUT! He is ashamed due to the party's wack -a -doo thinking of the fact he weaseled his way around loopholes and through them to become a foreign investor to his own country all so he would not have to pay the American taxes on his off shore monies. Dig it up I assure you it is there.
The Slow Rush can THANK ME for the embarrassment and you sir may thank me with acknowledgement once THIS story of Mr. Romney being a foreign entity breaks as you heard it here from me first last night and now here.. ; ]
post script; ]
The batman thing was MY idea as a joke and sure enough it filtered to the Slow Rush himself in no time. It was a message to YOU Lawrence from the 28th of June and it was as follows.. ; ]
Off topic, on Bane Capital. My friend Lawrence you must NEVER underestimate the "coincidence that the Dark Night Rises has the Arch enemy of none other than... BAIN.
All the while President Obama is fighting BANE Romney.. No coincidence there my friend ; ] lol. It WILL influence the simple minded folks mark my words.

Evidence please.....
I think Romney is using the tax returns issue to give his otherwise dull self a certain air of mystery...he's gone from as blase as Mr. Rogers to "the most interesting man in the world" due to the now crying hordes (well, maybe in the media and Obama campaign and on the blogosphere) imagining all kinds of scenarios of sinister weath creation schemes in dark corners of the world. LOL! Maybe we will be seeing Mr. Romney appearing in those beer commercials now "I don't ever drink beer (a nod to his cultish...more intrique...Mormonism)...but if I did, I would drink Dos Equis!" LOL! Could even raise a few more hundreds of thousands in lending his new man of mystery image to that advertising campaign.
Romney is indeed a man of mystery, never really sure what side of the issues he is on.
If offshore accounts help foreign investors invest in the USA, why is Mitt one of them? Is he not American?
And yes them pesky ole liberals telling Romney to release more tax returns. How does the Nation Review stay in business with nothing but liberal hacks writing for them?
D E Davis: I have a question for you. Is Michele Beckmann mentally ill? I would have to be mentally ill to believe what she believes.
NObama has blamed everything and everybody for the piss poor economy that left his supporters (especially women and the young and the black and hispanic communities that "HOPED" for "CHANGE" in 2008 and are left "HOPELESS" and "SHORTCHANGED". From George Bush and Wall Street and the Business Community, to Earthquakes off of Japan, to the Tea Party and Republican's in control of the House of Representatives after 2011 and Bain Capital in 1999-2002, there were pleanty of culprits to shift the blame to. The one I like now is his crying about the economic headwinds coming from Europe (due to the faltering socialist economies in the Obama style of government reckless spending with borrowed dollars that no one wants the bonds of anymore): what he isn't seeing is those same fiscally unsound policies he promulgated and his meddling with business (including our fossil fuel businesses) through excessive regulations and calls for more taxes are the "chickens come home to roost" flying on those headwinds now.
The candidate of Hope and Change became 4 years later the candidate of Distract and Blame. How stupid is it that some of his old supporters will try to make him to be their champion still.
Vote NObama 2012!!
post your craziness on fox's blog
your tinfoil hat is on too tight....
Maybe because the Republicans blocked everything he has tried to do.
Really, b113. If you're going to copy and paste my comment in whole from other postings of this blog and pass it off as your own you will be getting us both in trouble with the paranoid types like the SL Cabbie Cab Driver (remember the Mel Gibson paranoid czb driver character from "Conspiracy Theory"?) that already think I am a paid writer for the Romney Campaign thru some mysterious link to the Koch Brothers, and that all I am doing is giving these liberal fools Republican talking points, verbatim. LOL!
I didn't claim you were, Grandpa, I just asked the question... So who's being paranoid?
And I note you used "Cab Driver" again as my honorarium... I would actually be pleased in a perverted way if what I inquired about might be true regarding its usage... Now should I prepare a lesson for the rest here on "plausible deniability"? I've seen lots of examples of that one here on Planet Utah; Romney apparently missed the nuances, however, because his claims about not being involved at Bain are utterly implausible.
As for the Republican talking points, my friends--some of whom have "infiltrated" the operation--tell me you can set your watch by how fast the latest talking points come out and how soon they appear under your byline.
Like that piece about 2000 year old tree rings somehow disproving anthropogenic global warming... Shoot, I just did a Yahoo search for the original article, and the crazytalkers are already out in force. Here's some legitimate science, however...
http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2012/07/tree-rings-and-climate-some-recent-developments/
I know it's against your religion, but you might want to have Google handy to look up some of the words in this one. A dictionary would be much slower...
Mostly lost in the discussion, however, was the fact–emphasized in the paper—that the trees appeared to be doing a remarkably good job in capturing the long-term temperature signal—the aspect of greatest relevance in discussions of climate change.
Basically what the Humbaugh® crowd claims is that some 2,000 year old tree rings were "thicker" (as a result of longer growing seasons), and this "proves" that global warming is a "hoax" because these events wear occurring in past millennia. There are lots of studies, however, showing evidence that trees 800 years ago as well as 1,500 years ago (before the "Little Age") were thinner than contemporary growth.
Nonetheless, some of the coverage (e.g. “Scientists see ancient climate patterns in lake-bottom ‘muck” by Lauren Morello, E&E/Climatewire, July 3, 2012) emphasized conflict between sciences over the discrepancies, rather than the more positive message about making use of complementary strengths of diverse sources of information about past climate change.
As for whether you are a "writer" at all, given the way you routinely fracture syntax and grammar here (Nyquil?), a more precise term is "shill."
Seriously, I was offering you an out. You could claim you were being paid to sound stupid rather than that actually being the case.
It's official: Bachmann wants to start World War Three.
One has to wonder how many lives Bachman has destroyed before she arrived in Washington. She certainly appears to be following a lifelong pattern. Hopefully some past victims will come forward and tell their stories.
Stevie: Ms Bachman and her husband are highly respected for their own live examples of not only raising their own children, but so many others as they undertook the foster care and adoption of more than 1/2 dozen other unfortunate orphaned or abandoned childeren, spending their hard earned income in this cause. Read that and weep, Stevie. Your man and his socialist leaning party are going down hard in November, harder than in 2010, that is for sure! And its the economic news that foretells that.
So what if her politics leans a bit to bitter tea side of the scale...politics is a Bitch, afterall. Just look at the job Mr. Obama is trying to do (to no avail according to the recent polls that show Mr. Romney still neck and neck with this incombant President that can't get above the high 40% of support, quite ominious for reelction chances you know). After weeks of attacks on Romney's character and his business ethics and his past Government service record by the rabid Obama campaign aided and abetted by the liberal media (including this network conglomerate) the most recent NY Times/CBS poll asked the question if the information on the Bain Capital issues made any impact on their decision to support or not support Mr. Romney, 72% answered not really or not very much, and only 23% answered somewhat. And meanwhile, instead of a shrinking number of swing states at play that the Obama camp had hoped for at this early stage as they blew so many millions into this negative campaign, the actual number of swing states is rising, as Romney polls within a statistical tie or actually better than Obama.
Read that and weep
This is not about President Obama or Mitt Romney, this is about a woman who has demonstrated an appetite to leash unwarranted investigations on anyone that is not a conservative. While you and others may respect this woman, I find her behavior very disturbing. Indeed, I think it is the behavior of a predator.
Apparently you don't watch Chris Mathews who tried to lump Bachman's and Sunnuno's and Romney's comments of the past few days all into a bundle of race card playing as attacks really centered at Obama. Of course, that is a favorite tactic of Mathews and MSNBC...see a racist intention behind every critical statement.
I'm not supporting Bachman...but I don't think her concern is one of race...I think its a concern due to the continued rising threat of Islam terrorism we face coming our of the Middle East. And its not unheard of that governments can be infiltrated, even ours, and at high levels.
It always amazes me how much people feel Obama should have done in the short amount of time. Considering all he had under taken at the beginning. The country was financial broke. All countries were running away from the US. They came the tea party. He needs another 4 years to get this country on track. Thank God for Mitt, the worst person they could have chosen to go against Obama. Mitt is still hiding his tax return after running for the Presidency for 10 years. He is surely not the one to fix this country. Anyone who votes for Mitt cares nothing about America. Only their own self interest. You may not like Obama, but the Republicans left you know choice in Mitt. They should have brought back Huckabee and they may have had a chance :-)
So you are arguing vote the the devil you know rather than the one you think you don't know, but don't know if you don't know? Geese....is that how you live your life making decisions like that? You deserve whatever economic shape you are in then, my good man.
H-337, I might add something to your statement:
" Mitt is still hiding his tax return after running for the Presidency for 10 years. He is surely not the one to fix this country. Anyone who votes for Mitt cares nothing about America. Only their own self interest."
Most of the middle class bumpkins who vote Republican will be worse off if Mitt's "vision" is fulfilled. It's hard to believe that these people are stupid enough to vote against their own best interests, but they do, every time they click the button for a Republican.
Is it the "wannabe rich" thing? Do they truly pay any attention whatsoever to the truth of who these candidates are? The willful ignorance they display is just amazing.
During Obama's teenage years, like most, kids he chose the party going on down the
block over studying. That being said, Obama still remained a solid B student
until late into his teens. In fact, until his senior year, Obama was a good
student. At this point, he began drinking a little more beer, smoked marijuana
and tried a few rows of cocaine.
Why is it that Nobama calls Rommey a Felon, when NObama in his Autobiography
admitted to doing drugs, weed Cocaine... Last I remember drugs are ILLEGAL
in this country... NOW thats a felony......
Vote NObama 2012!!
So, you're referring to President Obama as Nobama, and asking us to vote Nobama in 2012.
Will do. Thank you for stumping for our current president.
Excellent takedown, K-fan, but I'm nervous subtlety may be lost on this one...
I'm more interested in the irony of his showing up in a Batman costume when the title of this piece includes the phrase "bat @!$%# crazy."
No?
We don't know that Obama was a B student...we know George Bush was a C student as he released his college transcripts when asked. We don't have Obama's highschool or college transcripts. I think it would be interesting if we received one year of transcripts from Barrack and Michele Obama for a year of tax returns from the Romneys, husband and wife. Then we will know a lot more of why this President seems so incompetanct at the nitty gritty of his job...he was devoid of any management practices or business or economic education when he took office.
Probably the difference between Bush and the Obamas is that W was proud of the few B's on his report cards, and the Obamas were embarrassed by them.
And seriously, Grandpa, the Obama team managed to beat Hillary in '08... That looks like a pretty competent act to me...
Oh...so you saw the Obamas transcipts..or you just suspect they had those mostly straight As? I'd like to see them for myself, and so would the American voter.
As to your conclusion that the Obama campaign of 2008 was so sharp, he outspent everyone with his huge war chest of an unheard of 3/4s of a billion dollars ($750 million for the math challenged). And he won because others he ran against actually had records they had to run on (Hilliary was a tired face, with past scandals, and her vote in favor of the Iraq War you are aware), and Obama was the UNKNOWN young handsome guy promising the Hope and Change and Transformation and Peace and Prosperity and all the other gushing vacuous empty sentiments that the gullible accepted as possible...it never dawned on them that he didn't have the competence or the capability to make those lovely but empty promises come true. And guess what, Cab Driver...now Obqma has a record to run on, and it is one of disappointment, from the failed closing of Guantanimo and ending the wars on terrorism to the getting of the unemnployment rate down to 6% and shaving $2,500 off your health insurance premiums and reducing the defict by 1/2 all by the end of his first term. And the people he disappointed the most is the core of voters he needs, women, black and hispanic voters, who have suffered the most under this piss poor economy going on 4 years into his administration.
There you go with that honorarium again... Ka-ching?
The more economically-challenged sorts always suffer more, gonzo... In hard times or good. We can attempt to minimize their trials at least and bring them closer to something approaching equity. And I recall you blasted the Medicaid/social programs of the 60's as being the cause of a lot of malaise. Those programs cost approximately 1-2 billion dollars per year. The cost of the Vietnam war has been estimated at 581 billion dollars. Do the math...
And hey, whose idea was Gitmo in the first place? And you better see the plastic surgeon again about those nose extensions you've developed; Mr. Obama gave no specific figures like you claim. Of course the Republican talking oinks® memos did...
Medicaid in the 60s? We didnt even have Medicare until the 70s. And the longevity tables were no where near what they are today when Medicare was structured and adopted, or the cost of health care what it is today.
As a poker player Grandpa, you're what they label a "calling station." Meaning you'll call every bet on the certainty that you'll catch me bluffing one of these days.
Medicaid history...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicaid
Medicaid was created by the Social Security Amendments of 1965 which added Title XIX to the Social Security Act.
Medicare...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_(United_States)
Medicare is a national social insurance program, administered by the U.S. Federal Government since 1965, that guarantees access to health insurance for Americans ages 65 and older and younger people with disabilities as well as people with end stage renal disease.
You must have a fetish for felt since you see it so often... Card room boss is coming...
3 cheers for Senator McCain!
McCain is an excellent example of the this says:
A person can have a noble heart and lack will power. Strength of spirit (will power) is necessary to be able to oppose evil and malice, in order that we may have full knowledge of life. There are those who inflict abuse on others from lack of empathy, simple mindedness or cruelty. It takes a strong will power to oppose them. Fear will only encourage them. Show no fear and they become confused and may even become fearful. From Kahil Gibran, but quoted from memory and it may not be the same word for word.
How could they have elected this crazy Bachmann (the new Bat girl)?
McCain understands that there are those who inflict abuse on others from lack of empathy, simple mindedness, mental illness or cruelty.
I am a loyal Democrat and have no time in my life ever voted for my Senator from Arizona, However I congratulate Mr. McCain for his honesty in standing up for this loyal american who has been singled out for ms. Bachman's, hatred or fear. She Ms. Bachman, has no standing to do what she continues to do, act out her fear and ignorance. Thank you Senator McCain. Anne Fisher
Yes, he seems to have learned something from the Sarah Palin episode...
To lend credence to the idea that president Obama was a lawbreaking, incompetent student illustrates the lack of education on the extreme right. As editor of the Harvard law review, Mr Obama demonstrated a level of intelligence. What were President Bush and senator Bachman editing.... Mad magazine?( No offense intended toward Mad magazine)
Paul, for the President who in his actions of executive orders violates the Constitution of the United States at every turn learned something at Harvard tells me he took the wrong courses under the wrong professors...and that his leftist leanings learned at the feet of some of his contacts in academia and back home in Chicago coupled with that Chicago style ruthless boss style of government and politics shaped the man we now have in the White House.
SHOW US THE TRASCRIPTS! When the Dems screamed and cried for the with George W. Bush, who they seemed to believe was just stupid, and wanted proof of it, they were forthcoming. So, OBAMA, in light of your failings an your onslaught of the US Consititution, SHOW US YOUR TRANSCRIPTS, NOW!
Keith Longey, I know, every time I see your name above a post, that I have a choice of whether to stay intelligent and skip it, or to read what appears to be the rantings of an incredibly obtuse and ignorant FOX addict.
You wouldn't know what the truth is if it jumped up and bit you on the ass, guy.
Trying refuting the arguments I make, instead of dismissing them with insults, Sarah, and someone might pay attention to what you post, dear.
Dude, you don't make arguments, you just make absurd points and ad hominem attacks. Here are some misspelled and bile-filled comments that I don't argue against; I just slowly walk away a tad afraid for my safety.
blase. crying hordes. sinister weath creation. intrique. Dos Equis! LOL! Mel Gibson paranoid czb driver. "Conspiracy Theory"? liberal fools. LOL! Read that and weep. LOL! LOL!
incombant
incompetanct
Nobama!
In light of the horrific assault in Colorado in the early hours this AM by a truely deranged individual, it is inapproprite to keep this post up on this blog. We how know what "Bat Crap Crazy" looks like! This is no longer of any humorous value. TAKE IT DOWN!
hahahahaha
