Matt Taibbi: Guy He Saw Huffing Glue Out of Paper Bag Made More Sense Than Michelle Bachmann

[goodstarbucks]

Only inbred Democrats still watch MSDNC.

[ydnas639]

I think the major media outlets should take a close look at Ms. Bachmann's family welfare checks. I'd love to see her debate our President, just love it.

[expatted]

Total douchebag.

[r2romix]

LMAO

[DaHonestAbe]

Economic Marxism? Jesus Christ this bitch is retarded!

[hpw59]

One world currency..........count on it.....coming to a city near you. The dollar is done and you can stick a fork in it.

[mercerjohn]

@hpw59 yeah the ten year note is at 3% and you are saying the dollar is done. You need to take macro 101 you dolt.

[xadam2dudex]

it's amazing that there are so many stupid people their are in the country that would elect this moron into office...Matt hit it on the head about her ignorance

[ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR]

BOB HORMATS,,,,,,,FORMER VICE CHAIRMAN OF GOLDMAN SACHS,,,,,,was hired by the WALL STREET OWNED OBAMA SYNDICATE,,,,,,you do the research!

[thewhox56]

liberal media

[MountMarcyNY]

@thewhox56 Sounds like another right wing pinhead reacting to news that contradicts his childish worldview

[Jethro494]

Taibbi's response was totally appropriate. How do you "reasonably" respond to someone who calls her colleagues in congress "anti-American"? Backmann's comments are petty smears and wacko conspiracy. She deserved to be called a moron on national tv.

[MountMarcyNY]

@Jethro494 But to the mental midgets who watch FOX & listen to a lot of talk radio, that is music to their ears

[jimmi0082001]

WHy does everyone thing this Matt Tabbi guy is so smart he only regurgitates news ? He doesn't sit there and write independent analyst reports on commodities and accurately predicts there price targets?

[Jethro494]

@jimmi0082001 He's a journalist, not a stock market analyst. And doesn't merely "regurgitate news".

[Darusdei]

how can american be anti-american?

[xadam2dudex]

@Darusdei example.. tea baggers

[sancholer]

Sorry what.? put the bong down matt. RS getting platform as serious journalism .Ha

[JohnnyMac2237]

Taibbi is just the wake up call to Wall Street from this generation and here is our message.

" The secret backroom deals of the 1920's and Plutocracy and scheme games to force the taxpayer to shoulder the failed bets of Wall Street while the industry provides no social purpose aside from permitting us to sacrfice our future and cash for these people"

Imagine the mafia with a pen and without a gun. That is Wall Street and they capture politicians to get their way.

[treon123456]

vvovv....matt taibbi.....hes talkin about the integrity of congress?....the media.....talkin about integrity?......the media is probably the only group as sold out as congress.....remember 'matt 'taibbi' on the list of traitors like 'chris the commie'....look at the papers these assholes vvrote in college....esposing communism....add another fevv ropes for these guys......vvhen TSHF....its bankers/politicians/media.....­.rope neckties for em all !!!!!

[sdmikev]

Taibbi FTW.

[TBlake34]

I guess that means you huff glue fumes from paper bags.

[gummybear100]

@tjfgermany58123 .

She is indicative of the persistent disease of TOTAL IGNORANCE that is plaguing the U.S.

[jliv8521]

"She's heard"? So this lady's worried that Americans aren't going to spend American money...in America. I seriously hope she doesn't stay in office.

[30percentplusreturns]

Bachman you idiot. Forcing Americans to use a debased currency and making it a law is like putting a sign on the front door of your house that says "Dont break into my house!" You people at congress are so idiotic its sickening. All of your spending on wars we cant afford and deficit spending in general is a disgrace.

[30percentplusreturns]

Hey Bachman, I hate to tell you, but the free market decides which currency they will accept, not congress. China and the American people will have the final word, and so far that final word is looking more and more like gold. You idiots at congress have spent America into bankruptcy from all your wars, and obama is bankrupting us even more with his stimulus crap. A currency is only as good as the confidence that goes with it, and the minute you try to defend the dollar, is the day it ends.

[abdighazi]

Citi's Rubin hired Geithner from Kissinger Assoc, to T. G. then worked for Peterson of Blackstone who chaired NY Fed Board. Rubin worked for Pet. at the CFR, as did Hills and Cohen, who were on AIG's board, then working for Greenberg Ctr at the CFR. Rubin-Geithr-Peters ,more an intell op than a busin. corruption issue, espec when GS board is tied closely to BP-Shell Euro oil cartel. Taibbi covers this up by making GS. the top of the hierarchy, ignoring foreign oil, intell ties(Atl,Ptner.-CFR).

[treon123456]

he didnt tell you ....he sold the guy sniffin glue the glue and the bag! 1.5(high #)of america is jevvish..34%of all jevvs live in the USA...75%+ of all bankers are jevvish.....50%percent+ of all controlling politicians are jevvish.75%of the top posts in the vvhite house are held by jevvs....isreal is the only country in the vvorld vvith an office in the state dept bldg....google the talmed...read vhat that says about you and you family.....peace to all..... jevv and gentile

[calicheercutieify]

What was Minnesota thinking? I could see a nut like this getting elected in Texas..but Minnesota?

[TavernWenchBlog]

Go Matt Taibbi!!! So awesome.

[abdighazi]

Did Taibbi work for soros in mongolia and russia? his goldman peice is a coverup of the foreign intell connections.

[oneirishpoet]

why does Michelle Bachmann hate america? It's easy to understand why America hates Michelle Bachmanm, cuz she's a fuckin' idiot and a fascist...STF up already bitch

[nri1969]

This would be a much better show if Chris Matthews could phrase a "question" in less than 3,000 words.

[Melpheos1er]

i dont know why this comment has thumbs down. Chris Matthews speaks too much just for asking a question

[Hubibon]

Matt Taibbi is right on everything he says.

Some comments below here probably are not

[calripson]

Funny, Taibbi spent the 90's with Ames shooting heroin and fucking Russian whores. He should relate to the glue sniffer.

[AxelQC]

What good would a law do? If we switch currencies, it would take an act of Congress signed by the President, which would easily include a clause to overturn her silly law.

It frightens me that I know more about the world and economics than members of Congress or even Presidential-wannabees.

[7Hook]

obama, geithner and bernanke have said they are opposed to another currency as reserve currency? THAT is your evidence that the dollar will continue on and not be replaced?

What an incredibly dated and quaint view.

May also want to learn the term "conflict of interest" when assessing the views of those three.

[Kevin1354]

Silence-the sound conservatives make when they're not lying.

Who hates America? conservawhackjobs like bachmann ooze loathing for America with their every utterance.

Our culture is a product of the free market of ideas, social programs are a product of democracy conazirvatives could never beat them with votes so they undertook to "starve the beast" so there would be no money left. That done, soulless, half wit liars like Bachmann bamboozle weak minded simpletons to vote against their interest.

[Kevin1354]

The real question just how stupid does a person have to be to be a working class conservatard

[KallyJones]

Taibbi cracks me the hell up.

[bobjones864]

Being from the South, I'm always relieved to see Michele Backmann. It always makes me feel better to know that its not just us.

Batshit crazy.

Bat. Shit. Crazy.

[glasshour76]

Taibbi is legend.

[antihostile]

Taibbi rules.

[gwengoadalso]

I would not stick my dick in this bitches mouth if she begged me!

[araniga]

why not? I'd slam her just to shut her up.

[sylviasoven]

Thanks so much heath. I'm in love with Taibbi.

[jjcarlso]

chris mathews is a douche... MSNBC lost the only good person in Russert

[tooclassy4most]

smells like dead elephants in here

[beckpod1]

Michelle...I'm sending you some more knee pads...how else do you keep your office? You must be like a hoover...keep sucking girl!

[Joxman2k]

It looks like Bachman and Steele are in a war with... fellow Americans?

[xdir]

No they are at war with reality, damn reality its so REAL!!!

[uheardmebitch]

youtube would be so boring without republican morons. maybe they're in league with google. maybe google pays them more to be dikheads

[DillonX]

It's fun to make fun of MIchele Bachman, but I have to believe that the ppl in her district are not so stupid as to re-elect her.

[copcorona]

Bachmann is a nut, but who voted for her?

[tvrmx]

I saw this when it aired -- hilarious and on point as usual, Taibbi! Bachmann is unhinged and downright deranged. It's seriously astounding that any functioning adults actually take her seriously.

[zakattak80]

this is true tho, china is talking about getting red of the dollar as the global reserve, also want a global currency. this is a fact.

[tvrmx]

Getting red of the dollar? Was that a pun?

[xdir]

It is true the Chinese want a new currency as the global reserve because the Dollar is being debased, eg last year for the bank bailout Paulson & Bernanke conjured $700billion out of nothing, they just printed more dollars.

As a creditor China should be concerned that while it spent hard currency buying US treasury bonds, the US could easily payback any debt by printing the amount.

Thats the problem with FIAT currency, it has a value prescribed by the issuer, if the issuer is also the debtor...

[saper321]

I don't know who is scaring me more. Michelle Bachmann or people who voted for her.

[onemanband1963]

And I thought the comic value of the Republican party would leave w/Bush. Ha, ha - they continue to be a freaking joke.

[kac56]

Bachmann is a lunatic...Why/how was she re-elected?

[Kidkel69]

Oh man Matt, got 'em good!

[hippieCy08]

sorry 2 disappoint you blite13.....but the 'Jews' aren't the one who fucked up this country or world economy.....mostly control by White Anglo Saxon...and of course few Indian and Arab billionaire idiots.

Bachmann is certifiably INSANE and in need of medication.....not spewing shit that even shames the Neo-Nazi.

[blite13]

Gees, someone looking out for the best interest of America and they try to slam her. She was the only one brave enough to ask Bernake and his jew partner in crime the question of a global currency. Ber

[ThePatriotHour]

I Wonder if these GOP Mental Midgets realize how Psychotic they appear?

[krazeeinjun]

I've become absolutely convinced that if one were stare deeply into Michelle Bachmann's eyes you would see the inside of the back of her skull. Convinced!

[bobhardball]

Taibbi, Austan Goolsbee and Ed Schultz are the best liberal one-liners I know. They should get more TV time. ´Cause it it refreshing to watch them explaining the conservative nonsense in short and unforgettable sentences.

[Nogeorgiabelle]

Taibbi is so great. I hope Matthews keeps inviting him back.

[isawitonutube]

two words to describes this lady WACKO BITCH

[areki38]

What I can do, though it's hard, is: watch Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, Jindal, Steele, McCain, even Palin or Ann Coulter. Hell, even Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Hannity or O'Reilly.

But this woman, I just cannot stand to watch. The obvious and vicious insanity in her countenance makes me sick (like: having to call the doctor sick). Any clip involving her, I can only listen to. Unsettling at best. Nuts, she is. Loco. Curayzee

[GBTRU]

She represents Minnisotians. This must be the dumbest district;

[Numinous123]

Have you ever noticed how wide eyed stare, with the dilated pupils? They're always dilated, like she's on some powerful drug.

That woman is insane. She obviously feels that everyone is out to attack her, and do her harm.

That, my friends, is projection. She's evil and twisted herself, so she's trying to distract us from that fact by saying that some other group is evil and twisted.

Most authoritarians are just like her.

Look up Bob Altemyers, the Authoritairans.

[areki38]

You hit the nail on the head.

[djtyg]

Taibbi is awesome.

[wprange]

Yeah. And we all would have to learn Esperanto as well.

Look it up.

[crapo87]

Since when has China been pushing for the Amero?

[437thx1138]

My dog speaks Russian and my cat speaks Mandarin. Look it up.

[gobacktoalaska]

how the fuck did she get elected?

[eugeneonegin09]

by the same kind of rednecks who voted for sarah palin

[zhuqi315]

by the dumbass people in her district

[xdir]

My theory is her district could not get her committed to psychiatric hospital they went one step further and banished her to DC.

[carboy101]

Michelle Backman, I've seen dead fish smarter than her.

[eugeneonegin09]

carboy THAT is an insult to a dead fish

[carboy101]

True, dead fish do help people.

[ivan1087]

Matt is brutal. Awesome!

[siamaumi]

you can do better 6th district of Minnesota.

[437thx1138]

Matt Taibbi writes some good stuff. His critique on Thomas L. Friedman was brutal funny and true.

mackdaddy1976 I saw a web site on the earth is flat too. Don't believe all you read.

[mackdaddy1976]

Its called the Amero and its already printed. Look it up before you laugh it off...

[thematalanifesto]

No it's not the amero, its much bigger than that.  the amero is like a north american version of the euro. this would be linked to G7/8 currencies at least.

Regardless, Bachmann is a screwball.

[integral]

I'm afraid it's rather easy to laugh off conspiracy Amero conspiracy theorists.

[Hereticbooks]

People really believe this shit? Do they also believe that the moon landing was fabricated too?  I wouldn't be surprised.

[xhagast]

There is one born every minute.

About the moon landing...It was real, the thing about it is that is unbelievable they managed to pull it out with the pitiful technology they had at the time. I mean, without losing three fourths of their people trying.

They were blessed by God and insanely lucky. They were madmen and stupid.

They were heroes.

And the world is full of fools.

[wildpeachatl737]

Hmmm...fear and paranoia...enemy lines...careful Bachmann, folks might think you're crazy or by the way you're eyes are so widely dilated, perhaps on drugs!

[burntonion05]

Michelle Backman belongs in a funny farm.

[baronmorris]

Viva Obama!

[goldgrif]

Michelle Bachman is the antiamerican
