This week’s target on the MSNBC Conservative Character Assassination Wheel, Michele Bachmann, her staff, and the “ignorant voters” who elected her.
As the rest of the world was watching the updates on Japan while hoping and praying for good news about the terrible tragedy facing our friends across the Pacific, MSNBC‘s Lawrence O’Donnell was busy “staying on message” and attacking Michele Bachmann while insulting the people who voted for her.
Politicians are aware that they will be targets. When you file to put your name on a ballot you accept that those who are not supporting you might be vocal about their personal choice. That’s life. But it seems a tad strange to see this media personality expanding his attack beyond the Congresswoman and her staff to the people who actually voted and elected her.
Yes, the Congresswoman from Minnesota made a mistake last weekend while speaking in New Hampshire, but candidates make mistakes on the campaign (announced or unannounced) trail. Witness one such campaign gaffe.
57 States? He was tired, move on.

The social progressives would like to think voters are stupid. However, I think we voters see through the smoke and mirrors of the socialists.
I will take Bachmann over Ellison and Franken any day of the week!
I understand why they want to attack Michelle Bachmann and wouldn't point out Obama's gaffes, because pointing out all his lies and mistakes is a full-time job!
57 states? How about 57 states in the Islamic conference. Always on his mind…
I believe it was a Mr. Zeigler who made videos of the Obama voters at the polls and ask them several basic questions about the Leader of the House, and a couple of other shallow questions. Without error, they failed the basic questions. Democrats are the most ignorant of all voters, by a minimum margin of two to one.
you are correct– there is a phrase used by friends of mine from RUSSA
The Democrats {Liberals} are considered to be "useful Idiots" of society
they are used as comics by other countries.
It does appear that they are from the Wisconsin unions
"57 States? He was tired, move on."
Seems to be the mantra of moveon.org?
57 states, I think he was counting some other countries that he wants to be associated with?
(and some not being freedom loving democratic republics).
well yes Gary because if you look into it moveon.org is a Soros project and we all know what HIS involvment is. Soros is involved in no less than 1500 orginizations BUILD to bring this GREAT NATION to its knees
What, exactly, did Bachmann say? I can't find a statement of the gaffe, just that she made one. Well,what with none of us being perfect, Obama getting a pass on his myriad mistakes made on stage, and apparently Michelle not starting WWIII, I'll give her a pass on this one, too. So much ado about nothing. Hey, MSNBC, there were actual death threats against actual politicians last week. Report on that, will you? Oh, you say the threats were against Republicans? And you're in FAVOR of them being carried out? Well, never mind, then…

That's HUGE. I'm afraid I'm going to ask that she be expelled from America. As the libs like to say, "move on".
So the media is obsessed with her errors. Did they notice that she does not rely on a Teleprompter for her speech? If she read her speech from a Teleprompter, she could have had every fact straight. Why are Obama and his administrations' blatant lies okay, but a historical goof is a mortal sin if a conservative or Republican does it? By the way, has anyone seen Obama since the Japan meltdown started? Could someone please go to the White House and coax him out from under his desk or drag him off the golf course and let him know that there are some severe problems going on in the world?
He is just now getting started with the Gulf oil rig explosion.
Oh Hell NO!!!! Minnesota here. WE LOVE MICHELLE. She speaks from her love of this
country and she knows well how we work hard here in our state. She is a great asset.
MSNBC and those idiots they pay for poor tactics are not an asset. We see through their
agenda just like Obama's transparent agenda. poop on you O'Donnell.
He's been busy making his NCAA picks, fund raisers, getting ready for his vacation in Rio,
and having a closed door celebration on his transparency. http://www.wcl.american.edu/news/foiadaycelebrati…

Hey Gary he canceled the award celebration for his transparency thingy. At the last minute. I think the weather over the golf course must of cleared. They said it was a scheduling error and last minute conflict in the schedule.They didn't say what the conflict was, but I am guessing his poll numbers dropping 5 points in one week had something to do with it.
This is a typical loony left belief that everybody is stupider than them and you must believe them. It kind of like James here, he seems to love to come here and tell us in short sound bites how we are wackos, and he snide remarks are similar to the behavior of our current President. Have you seen what Barry does, he stages a event where he allows the right speak, he acts like he is listen, then he degrades them like he did John McCain by saying "The Election is over John". The whole time he was never listening because he is just the most intelligent person in the world and nothing he does or says is wrong. Then he goes out and does a speech and states the right has no ideas so we must do as he says. Can you get to the point that you become so smart that you lose your common since. I would say yes. Yes it is easy to look intelligent when you surround yourself with the less fortunate less educated that was not given the same opportunity to attend Ivy league collages or Private schools and learn from a bunch 1960 Hippies that spent the 1960 Blowing up Government building and putting bombs outside Judges houses that have their family inside because you apposed a war that your own party you are following now started then refused to fund and we had to leave in disgrace. Then you kick off your political future in a Weather Underground Members house and next thing you know he President. I guess we are a bunch of stupid lemmings be lead by a bunch of over educated hippies that still believe that "Can't the whole world just get along".
Damn, Alexia, I'm have real trouble controlling my alternative personality today!
For the record, ireuel, like you I never "opportunity to attend Ivy league collages or private schools," and don't think any of my profs at either of the state schools I attended blew up any buildings. I grew up in a small Idaho town and worked on farms and in a sawmill to pay my way through school.
that part was for Barry, He got a free ride to school and hung out with Professors that were in the Weather Underground. On top of that he lied about having student loans to pay for it and I know someone from the right that is going to prove it in 2012. You, yes I can tell did not the typical left leading elected officials or Professors and that part was not directed at you. Barry will be in the 30's by May 2011 in the polls and then the wheels are going to come off that bus and all that he threw under that thing are going to turn on him. It might be early June but it is coming and I hear he might even get a Primary challenge. I sure hope so. The Normal people on the left, which yes there are a lot that have been quite are tired of his leadership. You might say a left leaning Tea Party per-say. I know these people they are the same friends that I have had for decades and were what the media called "Reagan Democrats". Let me see the last time that happen, 1980 and another person that was way in over his head. The different s this time is Poor Jimmy he came up from Georgia with not a clue and Barry really didn't care because he think he is the chosen one and will be anointed in 2012. He is living in a bubble of his own glory and could care less the outcome of his actions. He lives for the moment and loves the title but has cast himself above the masses without any concern for their outcome. Look at him when he holds his head up and glares down slightly from the side at the groups he stands above. It is all about him.
I never said I didn't attend a Ivy league.
Alexia, see, I don't think James would say that about himself!
I would agree, but Senator Franken is truly a sign the the water in Minnesota is tainted.
I got a thumbs down on this? We must have a Franken fan in the house or was it Minnesota. I know one thing that is where my Daughter is going to collage and in May she will be done, I hope she didn't drink the koolaid up there.

I’m sorry. This was a trick quiz. All of the correct answers are the same person. Each of these quotes are from President Barack Obama. And now you know why he brings his teleprompter with him everywhere he goes…..even when talking to a 6th grade class!!!
By the way, how many of these quotes and misquotes did you read about or hear from the mainstream media? Do you think they might have given more coverage to these statements had they been made by Dan Quayle or Sarah Palin?
Yes but they(Left Stream Media) don't seem to report this or comment on this. Why? Cause most of them voted for him.
How Smarter Are The Voters That Elected Michele Bachmann Than The Ignorant MSNBC Host Who Got Caught Lying Like The Manchurian Muslim Pres Obamacare? Yikeess, What Goes Around Comes Around. God Bless America And Sarah Palin.
O'donnell, this will sure HELP your LOW ratings????
HAY HAY JIMMIE CRACK CORN NOTHING TOO SAY. OH I SEE MAYBE YOU ARE CRACKING ELLEN'S CORN.
I think maybe someone is been dippin into the corn mash. But the term Crack is also present so maybe just maybe. naa That would all be just speculation or good old government related study supported by unreal numbers.
Odonnell needs to be impeached along with Obammy boy and Holder. Michele Bachmann is the best politican in America today!!! What the United States of America really needs badly is many more just like her. Along with more Bachmann's, what this country desperately needs to do is begin impeachment for Obammy boy, Holder, Nipalotano, Alxerod, Hilary and Bill again, Klobuchar, Ellison, Franken, Pelosi, Reid,Biden, jesse Jackson, Rev Wright, Farakon, Jones etc etc. and all the other Liberal Demcrats.
Not really clear on what impeachment is, are we?
well i think 54% of voters were IGNORANT IN 2008 hopefully we can change THAT
This is where I find out what msnbc is spouting. Actually-who cares? They're irrlevent when it comes
to real news. At least the National Inqurer gets it right once in a while-they {psnbc} never does.
