Bachmann's Son Joins Government Re-Education Camp

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) may now have additional reason to fear the Obama Administration, the Star Tribune reports: Her son Harrison Bachmann has now joined Teach For America -- part of the dreaded AmeriCorps!

You might recall that Bachmann said four months ago of Americorps funding that it constituted "re-education camps" run by the Democrats -- and that she worried about her own children being signed up:

And the real concern is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go and work in some of these politically correct forums. It's very concerning. It appears that there's a philosophical agenda behind all of this, and especially if young people are mandated to go into this. As a parent, I would have a very, very difficult time seeing my children do this. Again, a huge power-grab, at a cost of billions of dollars.

This was first sniffed out three weeks ago by our friends at Dump Bachmann, and now confirmed by the Strib.

How could it get any worse? Will one of her other children completely fill out the family's Census form?

She'd rather have him hangin' out with Tripp Palin, dodgin' IEDs in the big sandbox.

He's a plant. A rightwing-dingbat mole burrowing deep into the fabric of the gummint mind-control apparatus. He'll be wearing a wire 24/7.

Actually (of course), good for him.

I wonder how it goes when he tells new friends that his mom is Michelle Bachmann?  Those are conversations I'd really love to eavsedrop on.

He could have joined the military! But that would be to fearful for him being a Republican and all.

Now, now, lets not assume he is a republican. After all, real republicans think nothing about shirking their civic duty, This kid sounds as though he may actually be a closet democrat.

Exactly. My parents aren't Bachmann-level, but they're Texas Republicans and fairly unrepentant about it. We just agree to disagree.

This loon is the poster child for why they need drug testing in congress. She obviously is on something. They have drug testing in sports and in the workplace. Why not congress? They should also issue media suspensions for when they test positive to shut them up for a while and prevent them from spreading their drug induced lies.

Surely you've reached out to her office for a statement?

This is priceless. I wonder if she is still going to speak with her son. There is a related post at http://iamsoannoyed.com/?page_id=588

So that explains everything. Bachmann is upset because her children are better people than she is.
