Hypocrisy is rampant in the democrat party, as is socialism and ignorance. The amount of money obama and his gang are spending, can be described in several ways; more than equal to 2 million dollars a day since the birth of Jesus, or; more money than all the previous presidents, including President George W. Bush, have spent added together. And, obama is doing so in a short few months, as compared to centuries in the above examples. And unlike when President Bush was in office, not a single democrat is complaining.

Although terrorist are a danger to America, the democrats are a much more dangerous enemy of America and the freedom she has enjoyed for over 300 years.

I praise, and all Americans with any intelligence should as well, this congresswoman for her courage to tell the truth. A revolution will occur, the question is not if (like a volcano) but when, and how? If not an orderly revolution as the congresswomen calls for, it will be a violent on some day in the future that our children or theirs will have to fight. I believe it will be the former, and it will occur very soon.

Charles Manson is a registered democrat, so could not run under the republican party.

Yep, just a screwy computer... Wow. Can't wait to hear this lunacy.

China wants to replace the dollar with a different international standard. Wouldn't make a difference in the U.S. but Bachmann has decided that Geithner wants us all to carry around yuan coins so she's introduced legislation to prevent that. She's insane. (And I believe she began life as an investment advisor. Amazing.)

Yes. Nothing.

You, however, I have in my professional opinion, grave doubts.

The "last great hope of mankind/last great hope of man on this earth" exchange is precious -- these two Reagan zealots misquoting the gipper, who actually referred to the "last best hope of man on earth" -- who in turn misquoted Abraham Lincoln, who in his 1862 speech to congress, referring to the Civil War then raging just outside of Washington, actually said "We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth."

So, in calling for an "orderly revolution" because her side lost a presidential election, Bachmann ignorantly quoted our greatest president, who was at the time fighting to preserve the Union against a rebellion precipitated by his being elected president. Delicious irony.

Unfortunately, one can only be jailed if one is advocating the VIOLENT overthrow of the government. She is not that stupid (that crazy, maybe, but not that stupid). What bothers me is that there are people out there who will take what she said one step further.

The treason you speak of, is being committed by your savor, obama and not the congresswomen. Our first president, and those who supported him in his battle for freedom from the socialist Great Briton, was called traitors by the ignorant. Good thing we did not listen to them!

Only someone stricken with the devastating disease of liberalism, would shout for the arrest of someone who exercises her God given right to speak freely, a right specifically protected in the US Constitution. Hitler, Stalin, and many other dictators of the past, of whom obama is following, did the same thing.

Learn something in your life, and become useful instead of destructive. Go read the documents of our founding, and if you cannot understand them, see if you can find somebody in your small realm of life that is smart enough to explain them to you.

There were no unemployment rates as high as 10% in this country during the years of President George W. Bush, as there are ever increasingly now. There were no bank failures during the first six years of his presidency, as there have been since the democrats, elected by the ignorant, were put into power in 2006.

Learn something about your country, and its history, before you speak and put your foot in your mouth. This seems to be a very common trait among those of your ilk.

Olbermann has called her out before, as well as others like Beck who've said similar things, and I'm sure he will again tonight.

The same questions have crossed my mind. I nearly e-mailed my congresswoman to ask Bachmann be censured, but there again I figured it would be a huge waste of time when there are so many important issues to address. Loonies like Bachmann and Palin are dangerous in a way, in the sense that Bush 43's reelection proved the US is not immune to electing confirmed Religiously bigoted wing-nuts. But those two women are such lunatics that they might actually be beyond dangerous. Hard to tell...

Yes indeed.

These comments are so ludicrous that it's easy to simply dismiss them, but she's advocating danger.

And whackjobs all over the country might just be inspired.

If they cringe, then they need to step in front of a mike and condemn this shit. Enough righteous indignation in the comfort and privacy of one's home.

Ignorance is bliss. And, you are one of the most blissful I have read on here to date.

Go read the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Read about the history of the US, and learn before you speak.

If you would spend just half the time you do writing uneducated statements at learning something, you would be a much better and useful human being. Our founding fathers did exactly what you condemn her for doing and much more, and thank God they did. The ignorant of their time also claimed what they were doing was "not a good thing". I believe the result of what they said and did is self evident in the greatest and most free country in the world, in which they began with their "treason".

An elected official, especially those in congress, are obliged to speak up when they see their country, that they swore to preserve and protect, in danger from any source, within or without. Our country is certainly in grave danger from the sweeping socialist movement attack from within. She is simply doing her job, and rather brilliantly I might add.

True Americans, are those who not only are able to see the danger, but have the guts to warn the public of the danger. They do not consist of, people like you who blindly and stupidly follow a serpent into the darkness of despotism.

One day, you or those that follow you, will be thanking and praising her and people like her for saving the republic. There is a reason the US Constitution guarantees to every state in the union a republican form of government, rather than a democratic one, and you are seeing the reason unfold before your very eyes.

Watch, listen, and learn. If you have even the smallest amount of intelligence, any significant true education, even the slightest amount of common sense, you will learn from what you are now experiencing. You will wake up from the dream that the liberal run government school you likely attended put you. You will see reality, rather than a hopeless infertile, impossible dream.

The results of many years of brain washing in the liberal government run schools, is just now showing us the results. This country has far too many high school graduates, who cannot even fill out a job application by themselves., too many, "young adults", who are lost when it comes from distinguishing right from wrong. And too many, who have never learned about the founding of their country, being taught instead the evils of the great empire called America. All too many people who are now, and who have been taught to be, entirely dependent on the government for all that sustain them. Yes, we now see in obama, the results of these many years of deprivation of the human mind, and we all will pay for it in the end.

But, all is not lost as there are more people in this country, who are not so programmed and are very awake and aware of what is going on. They will not stand by and watch their country destroyed. Those who do know something about freedom, about liberty, about self dependence, those will stand up to stop this great disease that has been spread so broadly across this nation and others.

To those who are concerned, do not be. This attempted usurpation of our freedom, our independence, our very way of life, will fail. The cure will come sooner and with greater influence then many can imagine. And, it will come soon.

The operative words there are "by force or violence." Bachmann is sidestepping that by calling for "an orderly revolution."

Never mind that we already had an "orderly revolution" last November 4th: it's called an election, and her side was thrown out on its tuchas.

I don't read that as saying the presentations need to be, or should be crazy, just as saying that going beyond what was previously considered extreme made the old extremes seem more moderate by comparison.

It's a good argument as to why progressives should be loudly vocal in pushing for a progressive agenda. Otherwise, Obama is inevitably going to be pulled rightward when he is considering policy options. I think it's not so much that we need to remind Obama of what the progressive position on any given issue is, but that we need to be sure that position is part of the mainstream discourse so that the general public is reminded that it is out there, and that it is part of the full range of positions they consider when they're looking for the middle of the spectrum.
