Bachmann Responds To "Disgusting" Playboy Article; Declares Attacks From Left "Badge Of Honor"
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) appeared on Sean Hannity's radio show, where she responded to the infamous "Hate-F___" article in Playboy -- which has since been removed from the magazine's site -- in which author Guy Cimbalo listed prominent conservative women he despised but found sexually attractive.
Bachmann was on the list, along with Megyn Kelly, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Dana Perino and others.
"I think it's just disgusting and shocking. I can hardly believe it," said Bachmann. "I mean, I'm a mother of five kids, I'm a foster mom to 23 kids." She added: "They're the side that's supposed to be all about peace and tolerance, and 'we believe in rational discord.' And to be put on a list like that I think is just unthinkable."
Hannity transitioned out of this subject. "Well first of all, you have become literally the poster child to be attacked by the left. Have you noticed?" he said.
"I -- yes I have!" Bachmann responded, laughing. "It hasn't escaped me, that's for sure. I take that as a badge of honor. Apparently I must be doing something right."

Michele, you're the poster child for attacks from the left, because you're certifiably insane. You get a microhone in front of you and suddenly this paranoid, apocalyptic gibberish starts spewing out. You are not grounded in reality and you have become nothing more than a joke. It's both amusing and disgusting at the same time to hear what kind of idiotic crap that your husband and right-wing blogs have been feeding you. You repeat said crap indiscriminately as if you've got inside information. (hint: You don't)
That's why you're the poster child for attacks from the left. In case you were wondering.

And, by the way, Cimbalo is sick. It was a stupid idea for an article. You couldn't pay me enough money to do Bachmann. Some things are even beyond Viagra's help.

Foster mom to 23 kids?? god, sounds like she is running a goddamn re-education camp back home.
And why does she think Playboy speaks for liberals or the Democrat Party? If this was a DSCC newsletter, I could see the finger pointing, but this baby has nothing to do with Dems.
For example, I can't stand Bachmann, and there is NO WAY IN HELL I could find her crazy ass attractive. I wouldn't even find her attractive if she were a liberal. The author was way off on that one.

Exactly. Playboy isn't "left", as my feminist friends would be happy to point out.
They've got more in common with the right.

Crazy women are the best lovers. That's the trap.

Ain't that the truth!
And when I close my eyes, I can still see myself from 25 years ago, looking up in horror from the end of my condo driveway at my enraged then-girlfriend as she threw my clothes and belongings out the window of our 11th-floor apartment, still unconvinced that the young woman who called me on the phone that afternoon was in fact my sister.

You took the words right out of my mouth. 23 foster kids? I am sure they have all been indoctrinated into the Jesus Camp.
Oh I despise these people.

Hey! What did a large group of religious fanatics at a remote compound ever do to anyone?
Jeez. She's teaching them all how to protect America and arm themselves.

28 Lost To Bachmann Psycho Overdrive
"I mean, I'm a mother of five kids, I'm a foster mom to 23 kids."
Somebody really needs to look into the criteria for foster parents in Minnesota.

Scariest part of the piece: "I'm a mother of five kids, I'm a foster mom to 23 kids."
That's 28 totally f*ed up kids who will take their toll on society. It's bad enough that she has 5 of her own, but to allow her to come into contact with 23 other innocents, that's just criminal.

Please tell me Cimbalo is a GOP plant. He seems to stupid to have worked the keyboard to write his article.

It's 'discourse' not 'discord.' And she home schools her kids!

Joking aside, home schooling isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Michelle Bachmann being able to parent at all is pretty horrible.

I always had a desire to do Laura Ingraham.
As for doing Bachman, it should be a sentence handed out to criminals.

How did a misogynistic soft-porn mag like Playboy get deemed "Lefty"? (OH, for the articles, i'll bet...) You guys and your who-you'd-like-to-do macho-crapola are just creepy.
