Michele Bachmann Dodges Birther Question On "Larry King Live"

Rep. Michele Bachmann has a hard time trying to answer the question: Are birthers crazy?

After playing a clip of Sen. Lindsey Graham saying people who think President Obama is born in another country is crazy, Larry King asks Bachmann to respond.

"You know, it's so interesting, this whole birther issue hasn't even been one that's been brought up to me by my constituents. They continually ask me, where's the jobs? That's what they want to know, where are the jobs?

"That's a non-issue," she continues. In my district, it's a flat-out non-issue."

James Carville then accuses Bachmann of "evading" the question King asked her. "I can't be lieve she doesn't have te courage to give a simple answer," he says.

"No, I answered," she responds, before saying: "I have no reason to doubt that he wasn't born in the United States;" then she proceeds to blame the left for fanning the flames on the birther issue.

"You know," Carville said, "we're asking young men to go to Afghanistan and face the Taliban; when you see a Congressman give a simple question that they ask, ask they can't stand up and answer the question, i don't know..."

"I think this movement is nutty," Ari Fleischer adds.

I am fascinated by this woman. She is one of the most amusing candidates in a very long time. I really hope she wins the nomination. That way Obama will win for sure and we get to have fun with her spectacle :)

Bachmann can't come out and refute Birtherism as her lunatic base is 100% proof birther.

A woman whose stupidity is only surpassed by her insanity.

Birther ? They may have been "leading" a check the birth certificates on those on the religious station like Crouches and make sure they are not staged names for parents of the fbi agents under investigation in Lackawanna's (alqaida 6's) bigger City Buffalo and other governors of states in Union. Like they wear clefts in their jaws, change appearances from what gossip says.

What religious war ? I blve in Peace & Pizza.

@MRBBJC there aren't that many of them that are that stupid to actually nominate her. Some of them are stupid enough to think she isn't an idiot. There aren't too many out there to fill their ranks, however.
