  • 1:00 is just priceless.

  • Comment removed

  • You know if you want proper representation from the gov't, you fill out the census.

    Now Bachmann is an idiot. Not just an idiot, the epitome of idiocy. As for the people who keep electing her, they should be required to take an IQ test.

  • " I'm an illegal alien" "hi, we're from Homeland Security" "doh!"

  • the census is government intrusion, but you support the patriot act? they dont want people to fill out the census so we cant have any facts to back up how fucked up the American social system is

  • What idiots voted that nitwit into office?

  • Glenn Beck with a gun. lol

  • If Glenn Beck thinks thats nuts, then you obviously have a real problem on the loose trying to run for president.

  • i love the end. he's like "shut the fuck up already"

  • How rare it is to have two people of such remarkably low intellect on the same screen. I can only presume that Charlie Sheen must be their offspring.

  • Article 1, Section 2......Nit Wit

  • @dk5412 It's my understanding that it just says enumeration can be made for each state. Meaning, they just need to count the residents to determine their representation in Congress. You just need to answer question 1 of the census form, which is why they put it in a separate highlighted box.

  • Haha, like an illegal alien would check "no" on citizenship status and then mail it back.

  • Clown show.

  • @Nakedonthemoon What are you talking about? WWII got us out of the great depression.

  • @Carnosaurus1337 I think he may be reffering to the massive lose of live as aopposed the the mass industrialisation or economic boom. Just a guess.

    Afterall, voting in Bush caused a bigger loss of life than during Pearl Harbour and the first 4months of US involvemtn of WW2. BTW, I'm english and I say you were fucking late.

  • @Carnosaurus1337

    Nakedonthemoon lives in Germany

  • Michele Bachmann is one of the most dishonest people I've ever seen. She claims that the census is 28 pages long, but in reality, it's 10 questions.

  • @KOHF34 I believe she was referring to the "long form", which is sent out every year to 250,000 residents and asks questions like a. How did this person usually get to work LAST WEEK? and Do you have COMPLETE plumbing facilities in this house, apartment, or mobile home; that is, 1) hot and cold piped water, 2) a flush toilet, and 3) a bathtub or shower? There are two different forms - although a lot of people think both are too invasive.

  • This woman may actually be dumber than Palin.

  • @macbookusrkid the difference is she gets elected unfortunately

  • @macbookusrkid she is more crazy that is for sure

  • These assholes are retarded, why would anyone NOT check that box, illegal or not? I'd either lie or not turn it in lol

  • Dear United States of America.

    Please DON'T vote for Michelle Bachmann. You'll DESTROY your country worse than after the second world war.

  • @Pill88Dickle Hell yes. Michelle Bachmann is the biggest hypocrite on the face of the earth. Along with most republicans.

  • The one question they don't ask is "Are you a U.S. citizen?"

    This is because if you are filling out the U.S. census, then it is implied that you ARE a U.S. citizen. And she doesn't think that illegal aliens wouldn't deliberately mark "YES" on that question to not be harassed?

  • Oh noes! the government is going to know my PHONE NUMBER!!! Truly this is the end times

  • @Pill88Dickle Yup, you're an idiot. A complete, utter, helpless idiot. You are also a semi-illiterate idiot. You are also not even remotely able to think clearly, hence your vile and substantiated attacks against Bachmann. Take some medication or see a therapist, you need help.

  • @Bunnyroo7 Sweetheart, just shut the fuck up. You're making yourself look like a retard. Just don't bother commenting. It's for your own good.

  • @Pill88Dickle You leftists are so classy, brilliant. Keep wagging your jaws, you'll destroy yourselves yet.

  • Michelle Bachmann thinks illegal aliens are from other planets!

  • @loufalce and there is some serious irony in that.

  • @loufalce I'm sure illegal aliens would answer truthfully so Beck can be vindicated.

  • Dear god, she makes Glenn Beck seem like a rational person!

  • @GOPkicksbutt "Thanks to George W. Bush's policies America can no longer afford to pay for medicare, social security, unemployment and many other socially responsible services. We also need to bring jobs back home. Fiscally responsible liberals know this and are currently working to end the wasteful tax cuts benefiting only the rich and evening the playing field." Fixed that for ya, honey.

  • This bitch is married to a closet homo....YIKES!

  • Im in Love with her.

  • mitt romney/endless wars of aggression 2012

    or

    obama/endless wars of aggression 2012

    either way the puppetmaster still is in charge

  • @letom82

    Are you saying that, if FOX news becomes objective and starts practicing true journalism, then what, all the Americans who are being kept misinformed and stupid by FOX news, will become intelligent? By the way "screw the FOX reporters and THEIR weak questions".

  • LOL...please run this lady in 2011!!! PLEEEEEASE!!!

  • @tejaspics The election is in 2012.

  • @moriya2k2 God isn't that the truth though lol. His face just had that look of 'We're going off a cliff'

  • The only candidate in this whole goddamn race who's even remotely worth voting for is Ron Paul.

  • Wow. Even Glenn Beck's mind is blown by the BS she's throwing out.

  • If Glenn Beck is telling you to shut up, you know it is fucking crazy

  • Cause I'm totaly gonna but down I'm not a US citizen and give away my position to people who can deport me.... idiot

  • Wow Michelle Bachman is so smart.

  • bachman and beck are inbred jerkoffs

  • Quixmo, I figured out that you are talking about the book "I is for infidel" by Ayyan Hirisi Ali. Read the reviews and will read the book. I have seen her interviewed on television many times. Thank you.

  • Quiximo, what is "I is for infidel?"

  • I hope the Far-Right Wingers nominate this dirty Slime Ball

  • Guys I hate Fox too but what she's talking about concerning the Japanese did actually happen, I can see her point in that respect at least.

  • Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is a strong, independent, attractive, articulate, intelligent and accomplished conservative woman! This threatens liberals who want to leave Afghanistan immediately and subjugate Afghan women to the tyrrany and terror of the talliban. Liberals want their women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen (Michele has spent some time there as evidenced by her five (5) beautiful children), but conservatives love and support beautiful and strong women like Michele.

  • @Tennessee3501 Read "I is for Infidel", okay?

  • She seems good, better than obama who believes the gov can solve all problems

  • ok so listen, yes fox news sucks at reporting any meaningful news but is just as bad.

  • @letom82 Liberal mantra: name call because it is impossible we are ever wrong!

  • the power to distribute a census is clearly in the constitution... maybe we should be more concerned that people like beck and bachmann are living here than the illegal aliens (have you ever heard of greencards, beck and bachmann? if you have one of these, then you're not an illegal alien).

  • so this is american "politics"

  • Funny that all Republicans have such a hard on about the census, yet when it comes to the census they claim "government intrusion". Typical

  • michelle bachmann makes me ashamed to be from minnesota... luckily I'm not in her district so that harpy dosent represent me... stupid bitch...

  • What a dumb F*** that Bachmann is !!!! Her Dumb F**** followers who did not participate in the 2010 Census has just LOST federal dollars for their state... Is this woman the offspring of Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh??? must be !!!! Damn ! no wonder the rest of the WORLD think AMericans are so damn STUPID !

  • Did she say "date and time we leave mental stability"?

    Cause if she did, for both these lunatics, it would be THE DAY THEY WERE BORN!

  • don't have strong feelings about bachmann either way but definitely prefer her to obama. want someone who is skeptical about government rather than someone who believes that government has all the answers.

  • @xfl79 Actually you might want to read what you just posted... you don't have strong feelings but you prefer her over Obama. I would say that's a pretty strong statement as well as a pretty strong feeling you have about our President!

  • they don't have a question about whether or not you are a criminal and want to turn yourself in.

  • Are Acorn members really handing out census forms?

  • @Sevenfold120 NO.

  • Oh whoa, am not american, but I saw a commercial on the census that says that what ever you put on the census cant be used agianst you

  • @libanboom That's a lie!

  • This would be hilarious if there weren't people who actually believed it. They do it to find out how many people live in the country, each state, and each congressional district. The government isn't just fucking with you for the fun of it.

  • @kortnee89 So why do they need to know anything other than how many people live there.

  • Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter must be so proud , FUCK GLEN BECK AND FUCK ALEX JONES!!! END FASCISM !!!

  • lets just freak the fuck out about every little thing.

  • Bachmann + Beck = (message completed by computer, user's head exploded)

  • Census results...republicans gain seats...

    Bachman is fucking retarded...

  • Anyone noticed that the first half of the Video features the Word "to" twice , in the underline?

  • Two totally uninformed US citizens putting out misinformation. I knew Beck was nothing but a con artist, but I can't believe Bachmann got re-elected. No wonder Congress doesn't do anything of value.

  • Are they asking questions about the person who refused the survey, when they go to the neighbors?

  • @inspirediam Yes

  • I love it because it was insane conservatives... like Bachmann who started Japanese internment camps. And it is in the fucking constitution to have a census every 10 years. If you think that the census is an intrusion of privacy but you don't stop and fucking think about the patriot act... wiretapping. You are just ignorant and you should not act like you know what your talking about unless you are informed. Bachmann and Beck are the epitome of stupid in this country.

  • A census guy came to my house. When he check the box that indicates that I'm caucasion, he stated, "That's def better than being this." and pointed to "African American." I told the guy to get lost.

  • @funk7000 r you'ze azun?

  • WAKE UP PEOPLE!

    This is an outright attack on our right to privacy. The Census, American Community Survey asks 72 highly personal questions of Americans then uses fear of fines and imprisonment should they fail to respond to their survey.

    Stop it now!

    Call 1-800-962-3524 (Capitol) - Ask for your congressional leader’s phone #s then tell them your complaints and DEMAND they make the American Community Survey VOLUNTARY by supporting and passing Bill HR 3131.

    Google: track bill+h.r.+3131

  • @mstiggs4ever You fucking twat. It is in the constitution that it is mandatory. Stop believing everything that Fox News says. Think about what you hear before you open your stupid fucking mouth.

  • @11qheck My understanding is that the census was put in place to find out head count, not personal information of who fills out the census.

  • @11qheck The Constitution mandates a head count only. It says nothing about personal information being necessary to achieve it's purpose, which is to determine fair and equal representation in government forums. Read the document before you open YOUR stupid f----- mouth!

  • Where were these twats when Bush and his lot were spying on everyone?

  • beck is satan incarnate. 

  • FUCK YOU LIBTARD !!!!

    Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the government can administer a census!

    READ THE FUCING CONSTITUTION YOU LIBERAL IDIOT !!!!

    Everybody KNOWS that the census in the creation of the Demon-crats and is designed to spy on us!!! Devil-crats just hate it when other people make money... and they want to know who is making it!

    Obama is the designer of this year census, that FUCKER wants to spy on white families and learn their secrets! he's DICTATOR

  • @MrSuperneocon are you really that stupid. The census was begun by Jefferson who was, essentially, a Republican. maybe you should read a history book instead of watching FAUX news for a change

  • @StrangeBrewJT Thomas Jefferson wasn't a Republican, "essentially" or otherwise.

    The Republican Party didn't come into power until 1860, with Abraham Lincoln being the first Republican. Stay off the liberal sites, which are always trying to revise or confuse history.

  • "This would be your perfect opportunity to find out how many illegal aliens are in the United States."

    No it would not, or was not. They're not allowed to ask that question. Constitutionally, they are allowed to ask only ONE question: "How many people live here?" That's it. They don't need to know your phone #, they don't need to know how many bathrooms you have, or how much income you have, or how many TV's you have. For representative purposes, they only need to know how many people.

  • "This would be your perfect opportunity to find out how many illegal aliens are in the United States." Uh, ever hear of something called "response bias"?

  • @letom82

    Boycott the ONE remaining Republic station? lulz

    You libs have an inferiority complex

  • Fox News is like drugs to idiots.

  • what if they wanna call me? how can they do that without my phone number --- DUH!!!!!

  • she's attractive. she also thinks the earth is 6,014 years old.

  • Bachmann's the biggest NUT to ever hold public office.  Absolutely batshit fucking CRAZY. It's beyond belief that someone so completely unbalanced could get elected.

  • bachmann and the census is pretty hilarious actually. she used to tell people not to fill it out because it was big brother. then she realized that minn was one of the states most in danger of losing a seat in congress and it was likely to be hers. then, magically, she decided filling out the census wasn't such a bad thing.

  • HA! When I filled out the census papers, I put "Extraterrestrial" in the spot where it asks my race. There were just enough spaces on the form to fit that in.

    It's the census people's fault for collecting the forms on April 1st.

  • This argument is a red herring. The census has been done every ten years for a long time. Now all of a sudden this idiot wants to make it a political issue for her own personal gain.

    Ask whether or not someone is a citizen? Hey moron, do you think that an illegal alien is going to fill this out and admit they are illegal? If she thinks that then she is dumber then I think she is.

  • @jimitl5 said, "...then she is dumber then I think she is..."

    Don't worry, she is. And so are those morons who elected her.

  • Man, how goofy do you have to be to get Glenn to try to hustle you off of the air before you've even had a chance to finish your paranoid screed? Awesome...

  • If only Palin could have be added to the left of Beck on the split screen in this video. That would have been one hell of a retard sandwich.

  • @ThreeLeggedBandit - Beck and Palin (sorry..."Palin and Beck) in 2012. Now THERE would be an easy second term for Obama. Pleaepleaseplease let them run. They never DID make a third Pee-Wee Herman movie. This would be even BETTER!!!

  • pfff $5k, fine, laughable, that is nothing, i park where i want and get numerous tickets, i have a driver and i tell him to drive fast. i pay the tickets, and fire them to get a new driver when they lose there license from points. (i pay very well so it's their choice, free market and all) I love America, i came here 27 years ago, now i am rich and like king, most laws do not apply because they are only fines, or i can hire a lawyer with the correct connections. I have say so now, like king

  • ya why do they ask for the race on the census form? Who cares

  • Whats funny is people don't believe this yet I have had the census workers repeatedly come to my place to keep asking me questions and I told them all they need to know about is how many people live there, yet they stil consistently come back seeking info. Bachmann is correct and people need to get there head out of the sand. The whole world doesn't think that Obama is the messiah and that whatever his cronies want they'll give.

  • @moran51 Seriously?

  • @moran51 - And Obama created the cesus? No, it's been collecting detailed demographic information for a long time. The more complicaed our lives get, the more info they collect. Take a rest, paranoid fantacists. Obama is just one man, one president. There will be others after, as there were others before. My mother was one of those census workers. A Republican, a Christian, and a believer in all things right-wing and religious. Relax, Paranoi-Merica.

  • @beaviselectron

    Right on!!!!!!

  • @horuseyes Lol he can easily be ignored. I'm most certain there are plenty of worse cancers in America. Like invasion of privacy...

  • @horuseyes he's actually the only one that uses logic, even if I don't agree with him much of the time, he does use it, unlike anyone else on that network.

  • @plasticwrapcharlie stop talking about logic. You're too boring

  • Here is your new tea party caucus leader, ladies and gentlemen. Ms. Nutjob herself.

  • Odd I worked for the census I never saw or heard anything she's talking about. But I did have one of her listeners pull a gun on me.

  • The census is used to allocated funds and resources to specific regions of the nation based upon population, race, age and other factors. It is also used to determine the number of Representatives (congressmen) each state has. They already know where you live, its not like you can hide your house.

  • is he going blind? he is already blind, could not happen to a nicer racist, bigot and cocksucker

  • It's in the constitution you dolt. Like so many of your tea-bagging dips you've never bothered to read the document that defines our country, yet you think you can sit there and say "they have not right" when in fact they do.

    Edumucate yourself or continue to post dreck that means absolutely nothing because you base your OPINION on the rantings of other people who have also not read the document.

  • @wjbean: I have no problem with gathering population data, THAT is in the constitution, because we need that data to determine how many representatives we can elect per area. What I do have a problem with is when they use the census to try to gather all sorts of other information that is not relevant. If you think they have the right to ask ANYTHING through the census you're the one who needs to edumucate yourself.

  • @AnduinX: Article 1; Section 2; Clause 3: It ends with: "The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct."

    Congress creates the law! "as they shall by law direct." means congress determines how the census is conducted. They have every ten years. They did again this time. Don't like it? Write your congress critter.

  • @wjbean: 'As direct by law' refers to the manner the population data is collected. It does not give authority to collect any information they please. To claim is does is an obvious twisting of words, similar to how some people claim the second amendment is a collective right rather than an individual right. Our founding fathers believed in privacy and were very distrustful of government.

  • @AnduinX Congress is the lawmaking body. The section and clause simply specify that congress will determine how the census is conducted. Sorry, for you, that you have reading for comprehension problems.

  • @wjbean: "The section and clause simply specify that congress will determine how the census is conducted." That is exactly what I said below, only you seem to fail to understand what a census is. The clause states they may choose how to gather *population data*, not what kind of toilet I own. That's none of their business. Our founding fathers were privacy advocates who were wary of government, they did not give the government the power to gather whatever information they please.

  • Comment removed

  • @wjbean: "And how do you know what the founders wanted?" - Gee, I don't know, maybe the mountain of quotes about freedom and wariness of government? Let's see, either the founders intended our government to gather census, because population data is essential to our government, or they intended our government to know ANYTHING they want to know through the census. If you seriously have to ask which definition our founders intended then you must have never read a history book in your life.

  • @AnduinX

    Sorry dude but your last line about the intention of the founders makes you look really stupid. If we all knew, from history books, the intention of the founders there would be no supreme court.

    From the beginning of the census they asked questions beyond population, perhaps it is you that should read some history books? I don't ever remember the founders speaking out against the government knowing someone's race or age, perhaps you should read the census form before you go against it

  • @wjbean: Writing to congress is something that we can do, but in the meantime I'm simply not going to comply. I'll give them the number of people in my household and nothing more.

  • @AnduinX Right. Sure. OK! You know it's over now right?

  • she is a disgrace to minnesota

  • Glenn Beck did not perform his Constitutional duty, and costs the taxpayers more money because he didn't complete his Census form.

    Rep. Bachman should read the Constitution: It says "persons" for the census, and not citizens.

  • I agree. Not to mention that the census has been the same for a good while. Just because Obama is doing it doesn't mean it's tyranny.

  • They do ask on the long form what times you come and go, but only on the long form not the short one like she was saying.

  • the census? I DONT WANT MY IDENTITY STOLEN BY USEING MY PHONE NUMBERS!!!... lol, idiot republicans... even if they tap your phones, they cant use it in court, its illegally obtained lol... read the law if you act like you care so much, stupid republicans

  • @wildboy789789: IMO It's not about what they can do with the information, it's for principle. If you let them ask more than simple population data on the census you're setting the precedence that the government can ask whatever the fuck it wants through the census. What right do they have to come to your doorstep and ask you personal information? The purpose of the census is to gather population data because population data is essential to our system, nothing more.

  • @AnduinX the census allows us to see how many congressmen each state gets... republicans think its obamas communist information gatherers lol

  • Two paranoid clowns. Wow!

  • Michelle Bachaman is living proof that education system has fail american and has done so for many years. She also proves that in order to elected and re elected you dont need to know any facts just say whatever you feel like saying.\

    No doubt the mouth breathers will re elect her again.

  • Idiotic bitch.

    Lady came to my door, I answered questions for 5 minutes. They DID in fact ask my citizenship status, they also did NOT ask what times I come and go from home. Why do they ask your phone number? Because they may need to clear up conflicting details later, or call you and ask you to take a stupid survey, which you can refuse. These FOX cunts get more paranoid by the day.

  • I can guarantee that those census workers took those jobs because they needed the money, i.e., they spent the money and it flowed into the economy. Meanwhile, when you give the upper class a tax cut they just sit on it. Per capita, the lower the wage the less the person has to save.

  • WTF! Who would say I am a illegal citizen.

    Retarded bitch.

  • This lady is either mentally retarded or an absurd liar.

  • How do the million or so homeless people fill out the census?

  • The Republicans are agaisnt the Census now? What next?

  • @SexSteakSoda The republicans are always against whatever the sitting president is for as long as that president is NOT republican. It's a party game.

  • @wjbean: You're hopelessly locked in the left/right paradigm if you believe this is a republican/democrat issue. This is a freedom issue. I'm not a republican and I'm against this, just as I was against the patriot act. Even many democrats who voted for Obama are against this.

  • This shows how dumb U.S. Rep. Michelle Bachman is. The U.S. Constitution states: "person," and not "citizen."

    Glenn Beck and Bachman always invoke the Constitution, but when it come time for them to furfill their duties under our Constitution, they renege.

  • All these right-wing idiots love to rant about how they're for the Constitution, but they don't have the first fucking clue of what the document talks about. The Constitution specifically mandates that a census be compiled every ten years, so that the gov't will be able to estimate the country's population. It's been that way since 1791 or so, and Alexander Hamilton, (a Founding Father himself), had the first census done. Beck, Bachmann, and all these other morons need to put a sock in it!

  • @armyveteran101st the very foundation of your argument lacks validity. No one is saying that the census should not be conducted, they are ranting about the added questions outside of a household count. thats all. dont try to warp the situation into a cheap way for you to bitch on youtube.

  • @armyveteran101st

    Actually, the Constitution speaks of "enumeration." It DOES NOT require information to be shared about how many bedrooms & bathrooms we have in our home or how long it takes us to get to work...

    We still have a right to keep our lives private (if we want to), don't we?

  • @MeInTheCornfield I wasn't asked about that when the Census people came to my home. Your argument seems rather absurd.

  • Yes, because if I were here illegally I would most certainly tell the government. 

  • HAHAHAHA!!! oh right, i see, when asshole #1 on the right is in power, "the census is a critical tool for fighting terrorism!!! Any American that doesn't fill out the census...WHAT ARE YOU HIDING???!!!!" and now that asshole #2 on the left is in power "the census is a tool of the federal government to oppress us all!! why do they need our phone numbers???" oh i don't know bitch, maybe to warrentlessly wiretap you, but wait, you supported the patriot act didn't you? fuck these people....

  • the right of the government to take a census is in the constitution...and how fucking dare you that u compare the census to the Japanese camps during WW2...how did Michelle Bachmann get elected

  • @123RobertDarakjianx what do you mean by "comparing the census to japanese camps during ww2"? she was just saying that they used census information to track down japanese american during that time.

  • let me try to frame a comment by a brainwashed beck viewer: oh no, thar census folks are gonna take away my god given rights to a firearm. the census is obama socialism in action
