[cagedtigersteve]

Bachmann 2012! Nobody can beat this foster mom.

[trapp313]

one week does not raise a child but it can warp their minds, just ask one of the childern who is in prison now, her son charlie manson

[velvette33]

I DON'T RECALL THE GANGSTER GOV. LETTING US KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY SHE RECEIVED FOR 23 FOSTER CHILDREN. HEY WHERE ARE THOSE 23 KIDS. SHE DIDNT GIVE A F!!! ABOUT THEM. IT WAS ABOUT GETTING MONEY . I THINK THEY SHOULD LOOK INT THE  BACK GROUND OF ALL THOSE THAT SHE A RAISE AND ABANDON

[billeybop]

Don't bring them up in a national form to make yourself look good and then say it's a private matter, nice try typical politician!

[InYourFaceRadio]

SHE'S A LYING NUTJOB. Of course she doesn't want to comment, and then hides behind a phantom "privacy" issue, cause most were a week. What a misleading buffoon. HOWEVER .. if the stupid don't care they are being mind "f'd" like pretzels, Michele's your gal.

[MyFreedomChannel]

CBS, why don't you just tell us what you really think? You're basically calling Rep. Bachman a liar! Which, by the way, she's not!! You just can't stand the fact that she is an honest and decent woman who stands up for basic common sense. Quoting another comment here, "talk about dumpster-diving!" Oh, by the way, she has the right to protect the privacy of all 23 of the children she raised!! What happened in her home is no one's business, so BUTT OUT!!

[johnny2366]

@MyFreedomChannel so, just to be clear...when a Republican is caught lying, like Bachmann clearly has been caught doing in this case....it's not really lying?....oh, thats right...it''s the media's fault that she got caught exaggerating her role as a foster parent in an attempt to make herself look like the family values freak you right wing idiots need her to be....k, I got it now...thanks :)

[Cortelco1]

CBS: Is Bachmann exaggerating her foster care record?

NOPE

[Emeradisles]

Good points taken there jwbaumann. Now THIS is debating an issue, not all the despicable name calling and senseless cursing that I see everywhere else. As Americans, we should be able to discuss  issues respectfully, something I have yet to see since the campaign build up began. I do agree that there is an implication of having a long term effect in these children's lives and if that is so, then she will have to deal with it. And no, I am not a Dem. Just a well balanced and fair Rep/Tea Bagger

[agr8sc0t]

Talk about dumpster diving! They call this journalism?

[Nobama0000]

Looks like the CBS News arm of the Obama reelection team is digging deep. Have they found Barry's college transcripts yet?

[portinga]

who cares if it was 1 day or 10 years? How is this an issue?

[disklxik]

Is that headline misleading or what? What is the issue here???

"Is Bachmann exaggerating her foster care record?"

[TheDEMSUCK]

Wow you Liberals are now going to attack a person that helped kids and teens? I really gotta see this. So Liberals think instead of helping the kids maybe we should have just euthanized them because it would be terrible if a republican actually helped even one person.

[jwbaumann]

Michele and Marcus Bachmann accepted 23 children in difficult circumstances into their home, and you find fault. Abortion kills over a million babies a year, and the Dems are willing to shut down the government if the killers can't stay on the government teet.

If ever there was evidence that we are up against pure evil, this is it.

[johnny2366]

@jwbaumann slow down killer..no one has said that taking in a troubled child for a week is a bad thing...but, when she tried to present it as if she has "raised" these children...all in an effort to present herself as some moral superior for a political gain it becomes disingenuous...if you don't possess the intelligence to see that fundamental difference then I'm not sure there's any hope for you...perhaps she should consider being honest....thats sometimes helpful you know...

[TheObamaFile]

When is CBS, the source of Bush's forged AFNG records, going to investigate Barack Obama's bogus birth documents; sealed education and financial aid records; sealed medical records; bogus Selective Service Registration; multiple and fraudulent Social Security Numbers and his CPUSA associates?

I know, never. The propagandists at CBS are active members of Team Obama.

[The5thAveMonster]

Kris Harvieux, who worked as a senior social worker in the foster care system in Bachmann's county, "Some of them you have for a week. Some of them you have for three years, some you have for six months," he said. "She makes it sound like she got them at birth and raised them to adulthood, but that's not true."

[2002lees]

Oh here we go again, They are going to try to do to Bachmann that they did to Palin

CBS and the rest of the mainstream news are disgusting

[xempla]

Go Michelle. She must be doing well if the liberal media is already starting to Palinize her.

What a bunch of cowards in the MSM when 'Get the kids' is their rallying cry.

[TheDEMSUCK]

@xempla My Grandpa had a saying when he was a fighter pilot in WWii , "YOU KNOW YOU ARE OVER THE TARGET WHEN YOU ARE CATCHING FLAK" boy is she ever catching flak for being a good person.

[vaportrails44]

I don't recall CBS News digging this deep into Obama's college records (still missing), his drug/cocaine use and dealing, his communist, marxist, and socialist connections that all want the U.S. to fail, his connections to crooked labor unions, and oh yeah...the fact that he is a bigger war monger than Bush ever was.

[ForestSobieski]

I hope the MSM and other left-wing activists try to run with this "issue".

This will backfire on you. Don't say you weren't warned.

[2bRealist]

@ForestSobieski she didn't ADOPT THEM,she only FOSTERED THEM

ADOPTION PROGRAMS = mostly privately ran and costs thousands

FOSTER PROGRAMS = all governmental and PAYS OUT thousands (tax payer money) O_o

with that said..

RON PAUL 2012 <-- NO, he didn't take any GOVERNMENT foster-care money, but he did deliver HUNDREDS OF AMERICAN BABIES with his own 2 hands!!

RON PAUL 2012 <-- for NOT SIGNING THE PATRIOT ACT

RON PAUL 2012 <-- for the RESTORATION OF THE REPUBLIC!!

[muddywood]

@2bRealist

You need to get real.

The fact is Ron Paul is unelectable.

Have a nice day.

[Emeradisles]

@muddywood hon, you are in the wrong room. Ron Paul room is three doors down and on the left. Ph! And watch out for that first step, the stairs aren't quite finished yet ;)

[johnny2366]

hey...my kids have their friends stay over all the time....so...I guess that means I "raised" them

[atadoff62]

@johnny2366 Wow, one single sentence and you've revealed so much about your character (lack thereof).

[johnny2366]

@atadoff62 wow...your defense of anything said by this brain dead idiot reveals so much about your own character...or lack thereof

[2002lees]

@johnny2366 No with you, it probably means you molested them

[johnny2366]

@2002lees haha...you're pathetic...you shouldn't allow your guilty conscious to expose that sicko perverted mind of yours the way it does you know...the first thing that comes to your mind when discussing children is molestation?...hhmm....I think the character revealing just took place..now go lay down somewhere and hush pervert...before you expose even more of that sicko brain of yours...

[2002lees]

@johnny2366 me?? hahahahah You are the one making up idiotic comments about the Bachmanns who actually made their home open to help needy children.

You are the one that claims its the same as a sleepover, fully exposing yourself as a person how can't digest details, degrees or upper level though processes

[johnny2366]

@2002lees the "details" are that she is lying about the children who were in her home for what she believes is political gain..and with idiots like you, it's obviously worked...most of the kids were in her home for only a week at a time and none for more than 7 years because that's how long she held the license...that's hardly "raising" children...perhaps before desperately trying to defend the indefensible at all costs you could...oh, I dunno, learn the facts maybe?..just a thought

[TheDEMSUCK]

@johnny2366 "the "details" are that she is lying about the children who were in her home for what she believes is political gain." WOW you seem to know her personal life so well, When did you two meet? how many times did you two have lunch? She must have had great conversations with you since you know how she feels? What color are her eyes? Can you set up a lunch with all three of us? You are so lucky to have met her. Hey can you also give me the Lotto Numbers for this week?

[johnny2366]

@TheDEMSUCK blah blah blah...that all you have?...your poster girl for idiocy just got busted lying about raising a bunch of kids and this is all you have?...hahaha...

[MrParkler]

@johnny2366 Just once I would like to see you Communists actually have a debate but that will never happen because you all act like 6 year olds and just call names and scream accusations without merit. Does your mommy know that you are using her computer?

[johnny2366]

@MrParkler haha "communists"...watch Glenn Beck much?.....and your wrong, as your ilk usually is....there is "merit" to stating that Bachmann did in fact lie and exaggerate about her role as a foster parent....she didn't "raise" any of those kids, as she has been saying every time she gets in front of a camera...she was only licensed as a foster parent for 7 years....go lay down and be a good little Fox News clone and wait for them to spin it into a narrative you like, and you know they will..

[DanielH3342]

"we've never gotten into specifics about the children, because we've always wanted to observe their privacy and that of their families" so you've never really payed attention to or discussed in any real depth the length of time you fostered these kids, because you wanted to respect their private lives (which you were a part of? no?) and that of their family's (you mean their real familes?). This woman, to me, is irrelevent to politics. Why is she running for president?????

[DanielH3342]

Wha????? Little tax writes offs.....

[sndblstr]

@DanielH3342, Michele Bachmann is a national treasure. Love this woman!

[ENDtheFED2012]

She voted for the Patriot Act.

She signed the AIPAC pledge to Israel that puts Israeli interests before American interests.

A former Congresswoman explains the AIPAC pledge.=> /watch?v=w1y3maNzFo4

Sorry Bachmann but I'm going with the person that started the modern Tea Party movement=> /watch?v=DKZmIzEMUN8

[2bRealist]

What she appreciated... was the fat GOVERNMENT check she got for each of the foster kids O_o

[9mikee]

@2bRealist Do you have a source for this??? If not keep the ignorant comments to yourself.

[2bRealist]

@9mikee That is how the FOSTER SYSTEM WORKS!!!.. she didn't ADOPT THEM.. she only FOSTERED THEM.

ADOPTION PROGRAMS... mostly privately ran and costs thousands

FOSTER PROGRAMS... all governmental and PAYS OUT thousands

Don't get me started on her family's farm subsidy intake..

Oh Oh.. don't look now 9mikee, but your "ignorance is showing" O_o

Don't worry, you and those like you are exactly who she is pandering too =p

[2bRealist]

@2bRealist

... with all that said

RON PAUL 2012 <-- NO, he didn't take any GOVERNMENT foster-care money, but he did deliver HUNDREDS OF AMERICAN BABIES with his own 2 hands!!

RON PAUL 2012 <-- for NOT SIGNING THE PATRIOT ACT

RON PAUL 2012 <-- for the RESTORATION OF THE REPUBLIC!!

[TheDEMSUCK]

@2bRealist So why do you hate kids? How many have you helped? Maybe instead of helping kids that had been taken away from their parents she should have just grabbed random kids off the street then she wouldn't be accused of helping troubled kids. WHAT AN IDIOT

[2bRealist]

@TheDEMSUCK .. Just look at my statements below to see how wrong you are, and why you look like the "idiot"

I'm all for helping kids out, but it's the way she did it.. she had a choice. She could have paid up and taken true initiative by adopting those kids from a private orphanage, but she choice to take the GOVERNMENT WAY, by fostering kids... SHE GETS GOVERNMENT MONEY!!!

Adoption = Privately ran and cost you money

Foster = Government ran and you get PAID (with tax payer money)

[TheDEMSUCK]

@2bRealist I understand that I am an idiot and I am good with that but maybe you should not hate so much. Foster parents have a tougher time with kids than Adoption parents. It is much harder to have a child for 30 days than for a lifetime but you don't give a shit because I can tell by your statement you are just jealous of anybody that has done well for themselves and has money and compassion so you just keep hating and see how far that gets you in life.
