Michelle Bachman Compares Herself To Sociopathic Seria... - 6/27/2011 6:43:31 PM

quote:

Rep. Michele Bachmann kicked off her presidential campaign on Monday in Waterloo, Iowa, and in one interview surrounding the official event she promised to mimic the spirit of Waterloo's own John Wayne.The only problem, as one eagle-eyed reader notes: Waterloo's John Wayne was not the beloved movie star, but rather John Wayne Gacy, the serial killer.Mrs. Bachmann grew up in Waterloo, and used the town as the backdrop for her campaign announcement, where she told Fox News: "Well what I want them to know is just like, John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa. That's the kind of spirit that I have, too."


"I'm A Fucking Psycho, I Admit It!"

I have to admit, I was just crossing my fingers today hoping she'd say  something like, "It's so good to be back in Waterloo, the town that defeated Napoleon," but this is just as good. You just can't make this shit up. You really can't. Anyone wanna make odds on how long it will be before the pod people show up to claim that she was misquoted?

Status: offline 		UPDATE< the story is as follows, from TDPs link
The Bachmann campaign sent this explanation: "John Wayne is from Iowa, his parents lived in Waterloo."

And indeed his parents did in fact live briefly in Waterloo — in fact, according to "Duke: The Life and Image of John Wayne," it's where they met. But soon after their marriage they moved to Winterset, where Wayne was born.

It's also worth noting that Mrs. Bachmann herself is no stranger to the actor. In the run-up to her campaign announcement she gave an interview to NewsMax.com in which she talked about him as a symbol of a good time in the country's history.

"We're seeing the nation move into decline. I'm not willing to do that. I'm not satisfied. I grew up with John Wayne's America. I was proud that you grew up in John Wayne's America: Proud to be an American, thrilled to be a patriot," she said

At the time of Pearl Harbor, Wayne was 34 years old. His marriage was on the rocks but he still had four kids to support. His career was taking off, in large part on the strength of his work in the classic western Stagecoach (1939). But he wasn't rich. Should he chuck it all and enlist? Many of Hollywood's big names, such as Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and Clark Gable, did just that. (Fonda, Wills points out, was 37 at the time and had a wife and three kids.) But these were established stars. Wayne knew that if he took a few years off for military service, there was a good chance that by the time he got back he'd be over the hill.

Besides, he specialized in the kind of movies a nation at war wanted to see, in which a rugged American hero overcame great odds. Recognizing that Hollywood was an important part of the war effort, Washington had told California draft boards to go easy on actors. Perhaps rationalizing that he could do more good at home, Wayne obtained 3-A status, "deferred for [family] dependency reasons." He told friends he'd enlist after he made just one or two more movies.

I guess it never occurred to Wayne that by the time 1000's 'came back' they weren't stars anymore either...they were dead. The problem for Bachman is that 'Wayne's America' was a war glorifying, Hollywood fantasy.

Somebody told me that you... nevermind, figure it out.

Wayne was born Marion Robert Morrison in Winterset, Iowa. His middle name was soon changed from Robert to Mitchell when his parents decided to name their next son Robert. Wayne's father, Clyde Leonard Morrison (1884–1937), was the son of American Civil War veteran Marion Mitchell Morrison (1845–1915). Wayne's mother, the former Mary "Molly" Alberta Brown (1885–1970), was from Lancaster County, Nebraska. Wayne was of Presbyterian Scots-Irish descent through his second great-grandfather Robert Morrison, who was born in County Antrim, Ireland and emigrated to the United States in 1782.

Do you ever bother to research anything you post?

I stripped the link. I'm going with it for it's face value.

Bachmann honed her view of the world after college, when she enrolled at the Coburn Law School at Oral Roberts University, an “interdenominational, Bible-based, and Holy Spirit-led” school in Oklahoma. “My goal there was to learn the law both from a professional but also from a biblical worldview,” she said in an April speech.

At Coburn, Bachmann studied with John Eidsmoe, who she recently described as “one of the professors who had a great influence on me.” Bachmann served as his research assistant on the 1987 book Christianity and the Constitution, which argued that the United States was founded as a Christian theocracy, and that it should become one again. “The church and the state have separate spheres of authority, but both derive authority from God,” Eidsmoe wrote. “In that sense America, like [Old Testament] Israel, is a theocracy.”

It would scare me if she had a chance in hell of getting elected. Oddly enough, taking the opposite stance is one the things about Romney that caught my eye. Time will tell what kind of a candidate he'll make, but when he gave an answer about his views on abortion, and specifically stated he didn't see a need to enforce his beliefs on others, he actually sounded like a reasonable person.

Just remember, DM, 4 years ago, you would probably have said the same thing about Obama.

I would have.

No. Four years ago I said it about McCain and the nitwit. And I was right. Thanks to her, McCain had no chance. I still find myself wondering if he intended that. But we'll never know.

In past years, I would agree; but there's a pretty skeery vibe coming from those who would vote for a blow up doll with 'republican' written on it over Obama, not to mention the wingnuts who actually want the US to become a theocracy.

I'll likely get flayed alive for this, but I can live with that.
When the economy tanks and life turns to crap, many people turn to religion for solace and leadership. The phrase 'religion is the opiate of the masses' has merit, even today. About a bazillion polls have shown the woeful lack of political awareness that many many people in this country have, and a lot of those people will either vote Republican by rote, or vote how their pastor/ priest/ whomever tells them to.

Bachmann is, if nothing else, charismatic and an attention getter. The fact that she is also batshit crazy will be lost on many, and the fact that she is a zealot will be seen as a plus by some.

While Bachmann is unlikely to win over the independents, let alone the agnostics and atheists in the general election, many WILL vote for her if she gets the nomination. I don't think she will, but dismissing her out of hand may be a mistake.

Still, why she would choose to exalt a man who was
a.) an actor portraying heros and not a real life one
and
b.) a man who died over 30 years ago and isn't exactly the first person one would think of as the ideal person to model one's self after,
is beyond me.

I don't think she will either. The best poll numbers I've seen for her were in her own state and she was still a point behind Romney. The rest have favored Romney more heavily.
