  • Barrack Obama and most left-leaning Democrats are Anti-America. Anti-American by definition is being opposed to the American way, i.e. the Constitution of the US. Barrack has stated repeatedly that the Constitution is out of date. For people who are conservative and view the document as the bastion of freedom; this concept is Anti-American.

  • IT'S A TRAP!!!

  • I thought that the unforced error was Bachmann's mom not having an abortion.

  • I see now. After listening to Michelle @ 4:30 I now understand what happen. Chris Mathews used a Jeti mind trick on Michelle Bachmann and made her say what she said. Who could stand up to a Jeti like Chris Mathews? Mr. Mathews made her weak little mind follow what he wanted her to say. LOL!!!!!

  • Bachmann is a nut.

  • And in today's episode we tell her very, very sorry tale.

    o

    That is this site's speciality isn't it? Telling very very sorry tales, stream of consciousness story telling at it's best. Have you ever considered doing yourself a favor and just ending it all?

  • It's funny that Bachmann says... " I'm not saying that his views are anti-american,that was a misreading of what i said, and so.. I don't believe that is my position" ? ? ? ? So,she doesn't even know what her position is to date ! ? ? ? Palin ?

    I can't believe what I hear, when she continues to deny and make excuses for what she said.

    I'm sure she saw the video, and yet she continues to shamelessly lie, time after time ! Can you say... sociopath

  • yah huge trap after she said all cultures arnt equal all values arnt equal vote her out i dont care repub or dem shes off the wall racist

  • There isn't an instance of someone uttering "anti-American" that isn't woven into a piece of propaganda. Ignore whoever you hear say it.

  • I'm starting to think that the republican party purposely looks for stupid/ignorant people.

  • Is she a drag queen?

  • Michele Bachmann is clearer insane & potentially dangerous, she needs to be voted out.

  • She is certifiably insane and you want her to tell You whether You are or are not American?

  • lol Bachmann and Palin 2012! come on republicans you know you wanna!

  • Butt to butt! Butt to butt! Like in requiem for a dream.

  • Just as long as Ron Paul runs against them as a Libertarian. I would pay to see that.

  • Thank you to whoever is helping these Republicans read and respond to this video.

    A big thank you to the literacy volunteers who come out to the trailer parks and help these people use the internet and pay their bills.

    This is a confusing time for the remaining conservatives in America.

    Please explain that we just tried a magnificent experiment in implementing all the economic policies that Republicans have always wanted and it didn't work out

    too well.

    AMERICA WINS !!!

  • Time for Minnesota voters to take a hard look at alternatives.

  • That's what you can expect from the authoritarian Christian Right in America. FASCISM!! They want DOMINION over us, and they'll swiftboat, slander, use Rovian devisive tactics, all justified because they have "God on their side". Michele is a one-issue pro-life candidate who has dedicated her life to being a fighter of Roe Vs. Wade. Like most of those people she is a bigot and a transparent, disengenuous phony who woul love to go all McCarthy on us if we'd just allow it. FASCISM MUST GO!

  • Thanks Josh for making the election process a little more clearer for me...

    Thanks to you and youtube...

  • insert foot in piehole

  • The republicans really dont have a foundational appealing story right now it is basically "I am mad at that socialist muslim"

    like a bunch of angry kids losing a game...there is nothing foundational and mature right now coming out of the republican campaign

  • wow. she's stupider than palin. how the hell do they have on VIDEO that you said he was anti-american and the media should conduct an investigation and then say you never said it? what the hell is it with republicans using the "gotcha" excuse so much?

  • they blame the media when their candidates are stupid, incompetent liars.

    How could the media have "assassinated the character of Sarah Palin", when she kept shooting herself in the foot with her idiotic comments?!

    Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann are cut from the same cloth: bitchy, ignorant, ambitious and pathological liars.

    When GOP'ers say stupid things, they blame the media. GOP = Party of Denial

  • Bachmann's got some creepy eyes...

  • BITCH PLEASE.

  • THAT BITCH OWNED HER OWN SELF

  • The news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look into Michele Bachmann's panties. What a worthless load.

  • She said it repeatedly, no force, no trick, no trap.

  • Sweet political justice. This bitch tried to call sexism when James Carvill questioned Palin's qualifications.

  • Taureg,

    Don't use the b word. Call her an A-Hole if anything.

    Peace,

    Eggs

  • Michele Bachmann = Ann Coulter 2.0 ... Crazy (ELECTED!) Republitard

  • What has this issue to do with the Ashley Dodd

    case, that is sooo out of question.

  • america could be the greatest country.. but people like these make it lose its potential..

  • the newsmedia should be canned and put in the jail with nothing to live on, as should the many rapists and murderers who are being "rehabilitated" in our nation's gang-run prison system.

  • And to follow up ... the word she used was worse than "un-American" ... she said "anti-American" ... i.e. that Obama and some Democrat members of congress are deliberately interested in *harming* or even *destroying* their country. It is an effective undercurrent in the rhetoric spoken to the Republican base (more from Palin than from McCain) ... but Bachmann was dumb enough to say it out on a hugely watched mainstream program ... hence her awkward backtracking.

  • Hey mikey. The 'un-American' thing is something we haven't seen like this since the 1950's, and Joe McCarthy and the "House Unamerican Activities Committee" (HUAC) and the witchhunt for "communists" (now the buzzword today is "socialists). That is why her words are so chilling.

  • Thank you for this blog!

    We really don't have anything like this in the UK. Neither of the major parties accuse eachother of being un-British - they accuse eachother of doing a bad job, and give examples. What does anti-American even sodding well mean?!?

  • She's such a hot little slut though.

  • sort of like Courtney Cox on crack. lol

  • I was thinking the same thing! Scary!

  • Bachmann looks like Ted Haggard wearing a wig.

  • What is so pathetic is that she is trying to blame the "liberal media" of trapping her. I hope she drinks herself to death like the real McCArthy.

  • It's funny to hear this woman accuse Obama of having "radical" views....ahem, lady, sorry to tell you, but your views are radical and insulting to most decent Americans.

  • wow, she's gotz them crazy eyez.

  • Message to Bachmann:

    You did say Obama was Anti-american, the truth will be your demise. And your defense was to say I was talking about his "radical" views, we are not stupid lady, we know that for you NEOCON's "radical" is the new way to link anyone with "terrorism", good luck November 4th, hope you have something to fall back on after you loose.

  • If it was on her, "darwinism" would be considered as anti-american!lol

    Mcgame though, made one good decision not picking her for running VP.lol

    HM, where is the difference ,between her and the actual VP candidate, though, I dunno.

    Sorry pals, there is no way out of this for her. Palin was also "cleared" of troopergate, by her own words, on the phone though; was it her at the phone???

  • Time to re-read "The Crucible"

  • That woman has a crazy look in her eyes. I think she IS crazy.

  • Bachman is a stupid bitch, serves her right!

  • UNEMPLOYED LOVER, a reality look on todays turbulant times.

  • Welcome to the return of McCarthyism!!

  • Damn..maybe there is justice!

  • Democrats are going to win this election!!! It's time for Americans to stop driving their SUV's, keeping homes at 72 degrees, having more than 1 car or 2 children. Minorities have become the MAJORITY, and we will elect a president this time around who believes in leveling the playing field. We need an expanded WELFARE PROGRAM to elevate lower class to the rest of the world. We need open borders to the world. Capitalism hasn't worked in the past, so it's time to try Obamaism-Obama/Biden08!!!

  • palin is a joke.wtf is wrong with americans?people palin is dangerous!

  • Five seconds devoted to Murtha.

    Six minutes 35 seconds devoted to Bachmann.

    Murtha voted FOR the bailout that killed the United States. TWICE.

    Bachmann voted to SAVE the United States.

    Typical "balanced" media.

  • The fact that we know about both Murtha and Bachmann proves that the press is soing its job.

  • I love the title - UNFORCED ERROR.

    So if she's blaming Chris Matthews for "laying the trap" - who is responsible for the McCarthy-like statement she made about the rest of the "liberal" members of congress.

    What a tangled web we weave....

  • are they pro mc carthy or anti mc carthy, or in a democracy you are only truly fair if you only agree with the GOP, democracy in action wow

    lol-If it was not that scary. It is a sad

  • She's so ridiculous.

    "I didn't say it! If I said it I didn't mean it, I said something entirely different!...oh ok so I said it but I didn't mean it!...oh, you have lots of videos online of me using this same line about anti-americanism throughout my political career...well, ok, but I was tricked! By evil Chris Matthews! He used some sort of Jedi mind trick on me and made me say those things!"

  • the next line of defense is "it wasn't me ... it was my evil clone... and the democrats are pro cloning"

  • Bachmann is done. She deserves to be done.

  • And, to me, this is the disconnect.

    If Bachman(sp) and her Republican cohorts want to continue bringing up guys like Wright and Ayers, who they've argued are anti-American, and then try to make a link between them and Barack Obama, how can they not be saying that Obama, by "sharing space" with these "evil" people, has anti-American views?

    It's the hypocrisy that someone is finally taking a fall for, and good riddance.

    I'm just sayin'

  • Why does she always look surprised and happy?

  • "Why does she always look surprised and happy?"

    It's the glazed stare of the true believer. Put her name in the search field, she's been going on about Jesus and Anti-Americanism since she first stepped on the public stage.

    Sounds like the final blunder has been made though...so maybe now it's more like the glazed stare of the deer in the headlights.

    Halfway through the Matthews interview she could tell she was in trouble, but she just kept digging in. By the end she looks crazed.

  • What a slow agonizing political death. Well deserved Michelle. How's it feel to hang yourself with your own tongue.

  • She is blind...

  • great news. shows how slimy she is.

  • Let's face it. You might not agree with her.

    But you'd do her.

  • I HEARD THAT!

    And now I want to puke.

  • Haha - Palin too. *lol* But that's all - definitely can't vote for either one. :)

  • always enjoy your video's.

    funny how in the late stages of this BS race. Republicans are using mass sebliminal brain washing words like "radical", "socialist", and now their new one "unamerican".

    Funny how the Republicans are more big brother like in dealing with those they 1 can't control or 2 those that do not share their opinions should be investigated. Republicans are more like a "Ochlocracy" form of rule.

  • Obama isn't anti-American.. he may be anti-republican, anti-rovian, anti-uneducated, and anti-fear-tactic, but he's not anti-American. Running a campaign that turns Americans against each other by stoking fear, racism, bigotry, and appealing to the most uneducated incapable people in our country is anti-American. Maybe you should go do your anti-American hunting in the neo-con party. Happy snipe hunting.. THERE EVERYWHERE!!!!

  • Who is "crise"

    Dunce

  • if he is anti-american, how did he become a Senator?

    Don't be dumb...

  • Woo hoo! I love it!

    I'm from Minnesota and have cringed every time I've seen her on Larry King with her freeze-frame toothy grin (even if they're discussing something no one would smile about) and frightening eyes while she prattles on some nonsense or another.

    She didn't get caught in Chris Matthews' trap. She stepped right into her own. Bye bye, Michele.

  • great vid

  • Republicans are always scared to admitt their mistakes even tho they were caught on tape.They got a big bark but no bite.

  • OH GOD~ She sounds like she's from "Fargo" the movie. Is she from Minnesota? How pathetic...that anyone voted this Quayle Clone in....Like Dan's Ball State Univ. Professor said. "I look into those bright blue eyes..and see empty space"

    So, She can deny..and like Palin..say they are practicing "Gotcha" journalism.. But the fact is: they are both Ignorant Stupid bitches.

  • Look at those EMPTY EYES...Reminds me of Dan Quayle...Another Republican inbred. She's like Palin. Only good for fucking and making babies...but the babies don't come out so good. So use a rubber. (Remember. these Godly women don't practice contraception)

  • "penetrating expose'" ????

    Penetrate her mouth with my fist. She is an isiot. Who voted this bitch in? You deserve her. Thank God she's not here!

  • learn to youtube, bitch.

  • she has the fear of 'god' in her eyes. again, we do not need a religious nut job running our country

  • She never has seen Chris Matthews......oh my God ....that is a stupid defense. Many cable guys are known in many countries. She sounds like a moron now. too sad. Another mistake from the nice lady

  • "penetrating expose" sounds a bit.......funny

  • Someone should tell her what happened to McCarthy after his crazy red hunt.....

  • These are the LIARS we have in congress. Nothing new.

  • i would like to see the media do an expose on the relative iq of liberals vs jesus-freak conservatives.

  • Stupid, stupid woman. Wow amazing how such a stupid person can get elected to congress. Amazing to hear the ugliness in her comments, and just jaw dropping to here her deny that she said it. Of course, I'm sure she calls herself a Christian. Horrible what passes for Christianity nowadays.

  • Another freak moment by the "New Republican party"GET RID OF ALL REPUBLICANS!!!

  • Get a new job McCarthy practitioner!!!The witch hunt days are over because of freaks like you!!!They think we are all stupid!!!How'a this-your fired!Btch!

  • What is it w/ talkative women in politics who can lie as easily as they can wink????

  • man some set of balls this woman has. she answered chris matthews question not once but twice in the affirmative. now she wants to claim she was setup somehow? she did'nt actually say that? as warner wolf would say...LETS GO TO THE VIDEO TAPE! Sheesh....

  • I gave $10 to Ms. Mcarthy's competitor.

  • Way to go Bachmann! Liar!!!!

  • Check out the YouTube video;

    Ralph Nader talks to PBS Oct 14, 2008

    Or are you afraid if you listen to him, you might like what you hear?

    I dare you to at least listen.

    I have listened to Both McCain and Obama.

    Go ahead and check out Nader.

    I won't tell anyone.

  • i think the right leaning should look at barr

  • That damn Chris Matthews and his Magical Powers........but he does have a way with the ladies.....or maybe he has HIS way with the ladies....because he's cool like that...and magically hypnotic ....and if you stare into is eyes long enough youll say stupid shit too.

  • What? ONLY Christ Matthews himself would have written that "he does have his way with the ladies...he's cool like that and magically hypnotic"? ARE YOU KIDDING? Either you are Chris himself, or blind, or desperately hard-up.

  • sarcasm |ˈsärˌkazəm|

    noun

    the use of irony to mock or convey contempt : his voice, hardened by sarcasm, could not hide his resentment. See note at wit

    repartee |ˌrepərˈtē; ˌrepˌärˈtē; -ˈtā|

    noun

    conversation or speech characterized by quick, witty comments or replies. See note at wit .

  • Sorry js - it has become impossible to separate the sarcasm from the endless stream of paranoid psychos - what seems obviously sarcastic and asinine to one of us is par for the course in the right-wing's hate speech.

  • werd

  • "what seems obviously sarcastic and asinine to one of us is par for the course in the right-wing's hate speech."

    @ cretincatcher ^ that statement is 1000% true. Sad, but TRUE!!

  • From all of those in St. Cloud, MN who have a rational perspective on the world, we apologize that someone so ignorant somehow got elected.

    Bauchmann is going down in the coming election!

  • I live in and go to college in St. Cloud, MN, where Bachmann "represents". This whole thing is truly embarrassing. I cannot fathom her ignorance.

    Through this comment, she displayed openly how terrifying and unrational she is. As ForNoOne1 said before me, this "fanatic right-wing ideology" ripping apart our country and directly causing pain and suffering throughout the world. The last thing this country needs in another McCarthy Era.

  • Poor husband.

  • This is a classic example of the type of fools that have infected our government with their fanatic right-wing ideology and general ignorance and must be purged. God bless Youtube for strengthening our Democracy!

  • I agree with you excep for the god bless part. This woman is also a religious zelot that outlawed the veiwing of Disney's Aladin cause "it envoked paganism and witch craft"

  • Foot in mouth disease. She can't pass the Duh! test. Political suicide. Too dumb to elect.

  • Im sorry but this must be said Bachmann is an example of the type of Americans they really were trying to kill on 9/11, rip to dead.

  • "Unforced Error" somebody plays tennis.

  • i almost feel sorry for her.  ALMOST.

  • I don't. She now blames Chris Mathews, which to me is laughable. At least admit you made a mistake on your own and take personal resposibility for your words. I would have had a tiny ounce of symathy if she had done just that. Now, I just hope she loses BIG TIME!!!!!!

  • I hope she dies.

  • "I don't believe that that's my position"??!

    lol...what a dumb bitch.

  • she walk and step on that trap door the guy fighting her raise 1 million dollars because of her big mouth half coming from republicans.

  • i can't believe we friggin elected her.

  • Bachman and Murtha need to go.

  • "I used the words by mistake"? So basically she doesn't understand or mean whatever she says? What a loser.

  • Past examples:

    2004 - Howard Dean's Dean Scream did in him (or at least played a part)

    2006 - George Allen's "macaca" comment. Not only did he lose the race, he lost all possibility of a future presidential run. Maybe he would have been the Republican nominee instead of Mccain had he not said this.

  • thanks Josh and TPM

  • DAMN YOU GOTCHA JOURNALISM!

  • we should organize a hunt for these anti-americans. and then we can maybe put them in some sort of camps for internment. and then we can maybe go back to lynchings and stuff

  • (part 1) Bachmann is one of the reasons why Americans distrust their politicians so much. They LIE right in your face and they think they can get away with it (in fact, they often do because Americans are so badly informed). In my country, things are so different. Example: recently, one member of parliament (Wijnand Duyvendak) recently confessed to some illegal activities in the 1980s, something everyone already completely had forgotten about. As a consequence, he was forced to resign.

  • (part 2) Duyvendak was not forced to make this confession at all. He decided to write about it in his autobiography, and he felt he was morally compelled to confess.

    Of course, not every politician is the same, but on average, I would certainly argue that politicians in my country have a higher moral integrity than US politicians. As a result, Americans trust their politicians much less than the Dutch trust theirs.

  • @EmperorAtahualpa

    American politics are full of lies. Tell us something we don't know. Just watch some rallies from both sides, and perform a fact check.

    (En ik denk niet dat veel Amerikanen zitten te wachten op het Duyvendak-verhaal. Ik ben het trouwens wel met je eens. Wat dat betreft ben ik wel blij om Nederlander te zijn. Ons politiek systeem is misschien wat complexer, maar politici smijten ten minste niet zo veel met modder.)

  • I think it has to do with the American two-party system. If you only have one competitor, it becomes not only important to make yourself look good, but also to make your competitor look bad.

    The consequence of that is that you use opportunities to make your competitor look bad by taking quotations out of context, or try to create differences on issues when in fact you both argue for the same thing, and other lies.

    This is why I'm strongly in favor of a multi-party democracy such as ours.

  • I donated to her competitor. I hope this bitch goes down.

  • Damn right. What does it even mean for an American to be "anti-American?"

  • Damn right. What does it even mean for an American to be "anti-American?"

    It's seems that whoever doesn't subscribe to her particular views or brand of conservatism is Anti-American, which is completely against what our Constitution stands for. I happen to be a Obama supporter, a registered Democrat, and in the military. Am I "Anti-American?" This lady is a divider and a problem causer, not a uniter and problem solver. She doesn't deserve to be in Congress and I hope Minnesota realizes that.

  • what a stupid women, just like Sarah Palin, hahahahaha

  • thank the gods for YouTube, because if it wasn't for YouTube and blogs like DailyKos and TPM, Republicans would totally get away with shit like this.

  • I'm with you, though for what it's worth, it's sort of the same thing that brought down Dean in 2004. It's funny, though, because McCain's man Steve Schmidt tried really hard to run an "MTV" style campaign--changing channels every 15 seconds. But it didn't work. People actually are paying attention and looking for substance. Enter Obama.

  • This matter was amazing to see unfold. To this day, she continues to lie and not apologise to people for saying that Obama might be committing treason against his country. WOW! She's really going to fall hard for that. Notice how clean the Democratic fight has been so far?

  • It's like a horrific car wreck...

  • "anti-american" ? what the fuck does that mean? oh i once said "the US olympic team sucks". and there was the time i said "USA was stupid for going into Iraq". damn! im really fucking anti-american. shoot me please!

  • She basically thought Matthews is an unknown? They put him in political movies because he's known as an icon in political commentary. Kind of like Carville. She a United States Representative. How the hell did she get to Washington and not know who he is?

  • stupidity is no excuse!

  • Open mouth,insert foot.

  • Nine, that bitch is a liar!

  • Michelle Bachmann, your McArthy rants are not welcome here. You ARE the weakest link... good bye!

  • Flippin and flopping

  • Sadly Bachmann may be good Representative but she's probably on her way out.

  • Republicans make me sick.

  • if you have 2.5 million dollars to spend in a podunk media district in two weeks, you damn well better win

  • Very interesting and insightful vid.

    I've subscribed! Cheers.

  • Who is bachmann?

  • Excellent job on pulling this all together. Very well done.

    Bachmann is insane. Go Tinklenberg -- never heard of ya before last week, but go Tink go! Gotta be better than Cruella de Church Lady over there.

  • she tries to justify it but says I do feel this way at the end. republicans are dumb. Depression is coming . stock up on food before the dollar collapses

  • Thorough coverage, thanks...

  • bachman should never have been in congress in the first place...that is why this one inteview has derailed her campaign

    she is done

    good riddance to bad rubbish

  • holy shit!!!

    joe mccarthy reincarnated minus a penis!!!

  • no the penis is still there

  • yeah, maybe...but anyway you slice it, penis envy!

  • Sounds like McCarthyism all over again.

    This is the end of the Republican party.

  • Please point us to the story you mention. I suspect there is no incident.

  • That's one jackass.  Fuck that guy. I don't agree with violence at all, especially not towards a woman.

  • didnt happen...except in your twisted little brain

  • see drudgereport

  • drudge? i wont let that site on my computer

    so what does the b stand for? BULLSHIT???

  • lrn2wlk4life: You'll get better facts from The Onion than from Drudge.

  • Reminds me on the conversation Rush had with a conservative jewish caller. "Why don't you just tell my jewish friends how Obama really is". He replies "It wouldn't make a difference, they wouldn't believe me".

    Has drudge posted the Obama-not-a-citizen story? no. Did Drudge post the obama-gay-sex-drugs-in-canada-­limo story? no.

    You should really start spinning rather than denying.

  • I am almost positive the DR has covered the Obama not a citizen story, maybe if the site wasnt such a piece of shit, i could navigate it and find it.

  • Drudge? Yeah. it says "developing story" with no link to any info. hacks.

  • Sounds like those people need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, thrown in jail and key thrown away if found guilty. So now back to the above video...
