Congresswoman Bachmann Urges Armed Uprising »
Posted By jovial 7 months, 4 weeks ago in NewsCongresswoman Michelle Bachmann (R)Minnesota became the first prominent Neocon to openly call for the violent overthrow of the Obama administration. During an impassioned interview with fellow Neocon and FOX host Sean Hannity Representative Bachmann abandoned rhetoric and urged armed nsurrection. Bachmann seems expressive of a growing sentiment amongst neocons, that the only hope to save America as they see it, may lie with supporters taking to the streets.

"What is also public record is FOX network media Baron Rupert Murdoch’s relationship with extremist conservative groups and individuals at home and abroad who have called for Obama’s ouster by any means possible. Published reports suggest Internet chatter amongst white separatist groups hint of hope that should a couple thousand armed “patriots” as they call themselves create enough chaos in major urban areas, it might inspire the hundreds of mid-level managers and career appointees left over from the Bush era at the pentagon and homeland security, to stage a civil coup for the sake of National security and unity.
Having suffered massive losses in the last two elections, Neoconservative’s are beginning to suggest perhaps the only way to save democracy is to temporarily suspend it, during the election season, the GOP argued organizations like acorn have so corrupted the electrical process it was tantamount to stealing the election from what their polls claimed was a clear conservative majority of the electorate. Prominent conservatives also claim based on evidence they view as credible, Barack Obama is not even legally eligible to serve as president, because he took office before questions concerning his status as a natural born citizen were fully litigated in the courts as required by the constitution.
While most American’s are content to settle differences over politics at the ballot box, Folks like Michelle Bachmann and Sean Hannity apparently feel otherwise, and if they continue to incite listeners toward violence I speculate sooner than later, they will get what they wish for."
For eight long lousy, precious years I bid-ed my time so we could get rid of the evil in the White House. Bush / Cheney the tandem from hell, who the wretched far right neocons worshipped as if they were gods.
I didn't once suggest we should void the law of our land and deny the constitutional process for removing the idiots.
What this nincompoop suggests is treason, tantamount to calling for the violent removal of our ELECTED president .
Why has she not been arrested yet ???? Why is she not in jail awaiting arraignment on charges of sedition ????
Why is she still an acting part of our government ????
This has gone far enough !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more Mr. Nice Guy !!!!!!!!
Congresswoman Bachmann is not a Christian with what she is calling for. She is an agent of the devil seeking to act as a beacon of light to her fellow agents.
Her darkness of soul is shown quite clearly in the light. -

One has to ask why Bachmann is given so much prominence in the media? The answer is that she fits in well with the christian zionist agenda that is funded by right-wing zionist billionaires and those who think that they are mandated by "god" to tell the rest of us what to do.

I Agree With Michele Bachmann
When Michele Bachmann suggested on Chris Matthews' shoutfest of a show that the media needed to investigate members of Congress to determine which of them were anti-American, she was spot on. It's high time somebody investigated congresspeople -- nay, government officials in all three branches of government -- and rooted out the anti-Americans among them. Clearly, the people who run the American goverment have nothing but loathing in their hearts for, um, the American government.
So, let's start with the basics. How do we tell the anti-American pols from the decent, Mom-and-apple-pie, pro-American ones? Well, let's take a look at the oath they swear when they get into office:....
...So, clearly, the best way to go about rooting out these horrific evildoers among our representatives would be to take a close look at who has violated this oath.
Perhaps, then, we should investigate politicians who dismiss the Constitution as "just a goddamned piece of paper." Obviously, they can't be counted on to take that oath seriously.
Similarly, anyone who dismisses the idea of three separate but co-equal branches, the fundamental basis of our Constitution and the government from which it ensues, should certainly warrant investigating. I mean, if you actually believe that, for example, the president can do absolutely anything he or she wants, with no limits, in his or her effort to protect the country, that's a pretty anti-American view...
...But perhaps more important than any of these would be Congresspeople who defy the most basic tenets of our beloved founding document. The anti-Americans that truly need to be rooted out, tarred, feathered and cast out of Congress are the people who violate America's most cherished freedoms -- freedom of speech, freedom to assemble, freedom of the press, freedom of religion ... all those nifty 1st amendment things. So, to focus just on the freedom of religion aspect for a moment, when a Congressperson claims that God has ordained their membership in Congress, not the voters themselves, and then uses her time in Congress to promote a specific Christian worldview that is held by only a slim portion of members of that religion, perhaps they are the most anti-American of all.
So, thank you, Michele Bachmann. I couldn't agree more. Let the investigations begin!

Your right, this woman should be tried for treason! She needs to go, and anyone else who tries to do harm to the President of the United States. "Armed Revolution" sounds very much like a threat to our President. I don't care who you are or what you do in government, this kind of talk is called dangerous and people like Hannity, Savage, Rush an the like are gatherine these slimebuckets through FEAR tactics just like Bush people. Im totally outraged at the conduct of this antagonizer she should be in jail with the other slugs.

Congresswoman Bachmann does NOT work for the government. She works for her constituents. I saw and heard every word of the Sean Hannity program in which she invited people to come to DC and tour the halls of Congress with her to visit our Congressmen and tell them what we think of the health care bill. There was absolutely no mention of an armed rebellion.

n2n, neocons are absolutely scary in their uncanny ability to view the world completely backward and upside down. In stark contrast to Obama's victory, Bush got into office (note that I didn't say "got elected") by the skin of his teeth and cons sat back high-fiving one another for 8 years while he plunged us into record debt. They didn't care what the CBO thought when Bush recklessly splurged on wartime tax cuts to the ultra wealthy (a first for a President) but now they want to slam on the brakes as Obama embraces spending priorities and approaches that proved successful when we were in a similar economic crisis decades ago. Do these people really think they are so slick that no one knows what they're up to?

Agreed, however, the problem is not a single person loosing their mind. The great danger is all the ditto heads that are unable to recognise that the majority of voters wanted their ilk out of office.
The sad part of all this, is that the many decent conservatives, who really want to help the country are being left in the dust, their opinions unheard.

I think Hannity is nothing more than a cheap pimp looking to make a buck. Right wing b.s. is his vehicle. If he could make more by pretending to be liberal he would make Olberman look like an amateur. That said I think he is completely amoral because he knows the affect his words and actions have but he doesn't really care.

Let me take a moment to remind everyone that most Minnesotians do not agree with her. That said we too have White Supremacist, KKK members, Rednecks, etc up here.
Reply
The district she represents is from the Western Side of the state (includes St. Cloud. U of M St. Cloud campus and Universities of St. John's and St. Benedicts are not far from St. Cloud.) across the middle and to the Eastern Side that includes Stillwater. It is a more conservative area. It was Senator Mark Daytons District and he did not run for re election when Michelle ran.
That said I'd like to remind everyone that she almost didn't get reelected. I'd be surprised if she's reelected next time. Though I did say that last November.
Given what I mentioned about her district she got reelected because a. she's against abortion b. (she has disowned family who have supported and stand behind her sister who is a lesbian.) she is against gay marriage and doesn't support GBLT issues. c. her husband runs a Christian Family Counseling (not clear if he has his degree or not. It is clear that they specialize in sexual identity issues.) practice that every single Evangelical church in The Cities refer their clients too. He also is Michelle's stylist. No joke.
That said this is taking heat off of Minnesotians wanting to know why Michelle took Earmarks when she said she didn't? Where those earmarks are going? JUST WHAT exactly has she done for Minnesota since she's been in DC besides embarrass us? I know she was a Bush baby. Meaning whatever he wanted she voted for it. She I imagine whatever President Barak wants she's voting against. SIGH.-

I'm not really upset about a call to overthrow the gummint, but the world she wants is not the world I want. So whether she wants to accomplish her aims by governmental overthrow or governmental cooptation means little for me. Dominionists have got to go.

Yeah, that armed insurrection, that's the worst kind. Very messy, very painful. But tell me, how do you feel about UNarmed, peaceful insurrection? An insurrection founded on the IDEALS of Liberty and waged against an Anti-Liberty government, but only through non-violent means -- in the manner of Gandhi, MLK, Christ, and various other enlightened avatars? What do you think about Peace marches, non-violent, non-destructive Civil disobedience, or peaceful State secession from the Union?
Reply
Forget Bachman; she's an erstwhile Bush sock-puppet who's now trying to take a page from Ron Paul, but sans the intellect, integrity or credibility that Paul has. Or the decency. But the problem is it was her time to be the broken clock that's right twice a day: the first being her confrontation with Geithner over his cluelessness on the Constitution, and the second being her overall opposition to what the current crowd in power is now doing. So now we are stuck with the Strange-Bedfellows syndrome -- Neocons who would have followed the Bush administration's economic recovery plans right off a cliff now trying to raise their voices in chorus with the Libertarians condemning Obama for..... following the Bush administration's economic recovery plans. Right off a cliff. In a word, hypocrisy -- rank, partisan hypocrisy. Okay, that's 3 words.
So... What about that state secession option? Peaceful, respectful secession -- politically initiated and non-violently achieved. If you'd meet armed insurrection with force, what would you meet THATidea with? -

Hear this loud and clear those who call for an armed coup d'etat against our Government.
Your names will be blotted out.
Know this you evil deceivers of men, God knows of your evil in your hearts.
To try and take the name of Jesus Christ to try to sanctify your foulness is an abomination.
Jude: 4-8
4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Old and New Apostates
5 But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; 7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

her anger is far far beyond anything rational.
if she's really just mad because of our economic woes then she would have had the same hatefulness for Bush since all this started well before Obama was in office.
2008 was the third worst performance year ever for the Dow, and that was not Obama's doing. -

The Modern Right don't do the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE any longer ... at least not the way most Americans know it.
Their version goes like this.
I pledge allegiance to fight f@gs, and the general public - for which I stand - one nation - divided by us and our media elite - to promote our crazy ideology of Partisanship and Welfare for the Wealthy - to divide and separate - with justice for none.
I realize this is offensive - and I'm sorry - but I'm just reporting what I hear from my fellow Christian Conservatives.

Well, that's a start. I damn sure don't pledge my allegiance to any flag, and requiring children to do so daily in school is just jingoistic brainwashing. Screw that. Lets see people begin to pledge their allegiance to what is good and true and fair, and to a better world.
Pledge allegiance to your flag, and later, it can serve as a shroud to wrap you in.

Washington seems to employ policies that create exactly what they are against...executing legislation that makes the Judicial system an unwise one. I am sticking with what the for-fathers of the US set as standard for every Congress after them...and not getting carried away with revenge.
If Oboma's term is like some said, in need of being overthrown, do what is wise...and remove the money instead of hitting the streets where Bush hired his $100,000 dollar men(police)...to do the covert wishes of the Cabal NSC.
I shop at the thrift stores and I have nothing against any of them...I just can not support anyone that would hurt me or our children. Believe this...they expect an uprising in the streets...and if you observe their tactics...you'll agree. In the most desperate scenario, all one would have to do, would be to quit your job and they still would fall, without one shot from a gun.
They are very unwise, when it comes to subjecting their own public as they have, and will again...
Again, color is not the problem there...it is their insistance we use what blinds us...money. -

What this person has allegedly said is seditious- sedition is a capital crime. Before I can pass any judgement, however I would like to see more documentation as to what she said, other than what was posted on that blog - Does anyone have any link directly to her statements? I don't want to act like a neocon screaming"off with their heads" without knowing exactly what was said from other sources

Bachmann: Right now I'm a member of Congress. And I believe that my job here is to be a foreign correspondent, reporting from enemy lines. And people need to understand, this isn't a game. this isn't just a political talk show that's happening right now. This is our very freedom, and we have 230 years, a continuous link of freedom that every generation has ceded to the next generation. This may be the time when that link breaks. And I'm going to do everything I can, I know you are, to make sure that we keep that link secure. We cannot allow that link to break, because as Reagan said, America is the last great hope of mankind. where do we go--
Hannity: The last great hope of man on this Earth.
Bachmann: Do we get into an inner tube and float 90 miles to some free country? There is no free country for us to repair to. That's why it's up to us now. The founders gave everything they had to give us this freedom. Now it's up to us to give everything we can to make sure that our kids are free, too. It's that serious. I hate to be dramatic, but...

Can there be now any doubt but that there is a double standard in modern media.
Of course, this is one of the main successes of the Right Wing Whine ... "Liberal Bias in Media".
Achieving this state has been the goal of that whine.
Beginning with Newt Gingrich's "Take No Prisoners" approach - the Right is at war. I believe that Liberals don't understand this. But as a former Republican, I've listened to them talk for many years.
When you are at war - the first objective is the Communications Facilities.
The attack on media by the right has been a two prong attack.
1) Take Over Media where possible - FOX, Julian Sinclair, Rupert Murdoch, Conrad Black, Sun Myung Moon.
2) Undermine remaining media by painting them as not being credible.
I believe this has worked because, while normal, everyday, good Americans were living their lives in peace, raising children, and trying to live good lives - they were being bombarded by this attack on media - sometimes evanescent in nature - sometimes as overt as Ann Coulter coming on NBC and whining that media is trying to shut her down.
As ridiculous as it sounds - it really HAS been working.
I urge y'all to remember this whenever you hear someone whine that Media has a Left Wing Bias - these are people who are at war - ... ... ... - at war with truth - ... ... ... - and for a particularly Morally Vacant agenda.

michelle bachmann is definitely a nut case. it's hard to believe that someone like her could be elected to office, regardless of her competition. she belongs in the same pool as blegojevich. completely irrational, unstable, and unfortunately, determined. i hope the repub's can knock her off her high horse before she starts convincing real intelligent media persons and the public at large that her stance has any merit.
