That said, she's off to a great start since she announced her candidacy.

Tom Petty sent a cease-and-desist order for her using "American Girl" during her rallies.

and, of course, mistakenly placing John Wayne's birthplace as John Wayne Gacy.

Bachmann is an idiot

Damn media giving her attention

6/29/2011 8:47:34 AM

i want her to win so badly.

so many people i hate would kill themselves.

plus i would happily die for her in ww3.

You know what's not funny? The Obama administration's constant lying and cover up over operation fast and furious. This administration had to manufacturer evidence to support their lies and by doing so, let firearms cross over into Mexico illegally, which eventually came back to kill a U.S. border agent. Holder and Obama should be held criminally liable.

6/29/2011 8:48:24 AM

^ GTFO.

i hope she and palin both run...the dems will win in a landslide

6/29/2011 9:19:45 AM

I thought Holder killed Rosie Larsen

6/29/2011 9:25:53 AM

Hows that hope and change working out for you aph319? I bet you really thought you were part of something big back in 2008 when you voted in the worst pharaoh in American history? LULZ@you

6/29/2011 9:36:55 AM

More butthurt... Come on, folks. Take a joke.

Even if the candidate was a Democrat instead of a Tea Party Republican, these events would still be hilariously tragic.

6/29/2011 9:39:29 AM

yeah, it doesn't matter that they're republicans...

...but it's pretty funny that she and palin are the best the republicans can do for female candidates since, even if you didn't like her, hillary clinton is damn smart and certainly capable of being president

the republicans front these two chicks because they don't believe women or black people should ever be president

6/29/2011 9:44:47 AM

there's a lot of stupid in that post

6/29/2011 9:47:14 AM

by all means, point it out...are there other female republican candidates that aren't dumb as doorknobs that i'm not aware of? i suppose i'm jumping the gun in assuming palin will throw her hat in the ring...

also, do you have anything other than some backwards opinion suggesting that hillary is anything but cunning and politically competent?

yeah, that's what i thought

a 5 piece chicken nugget could beat this president in an election tomorrow.

6/29/2011 10:22:58 AM

^well, I don't know about that. I mean, if it was 3 drumsticks, collard greens, watermelon, and koolaid, then you'd be onto something. but just a 5 piece nugget... that may be cutting it close.

6/29/2011 10:25:37 AM

it's amusing that anyone thinks the opinion TODAY represents an event happening more than a YEAR from now

6/29/2011 10:30:09 AM

^^I'd take the 5 piece nuggets over that meal.

6/29/2011 10:49:51 AM

chicken nuggets, hands down

6/29/2011 10:54:25 AM

FUCKING chicken nuggets over Fried Chicken?


you know how I know you're gay?

6/29/2011 10:56:16 AM

If chicken nuggets are gay, I don't want to be straight.

She said she was disappointed that Obama released our entire strategic oil reserve.

Apparently 4% = entire.

6/29/2011 12:07:23 PM

I think an equally big gaffe was naming John Quincey Adams as a Founding Father.

I guess it's really up to how you define "Founding Father." Looking at Wikipedia: he was 9 years old when the Declaration of Independence was drafted, spent the majority of his pre-college years learning overseas and just graduated from Harvard when the Bill of Rights were introduced into Congress.

ITT we launch attacks against a politician we don't like, but preface it with This is not a political thread. This is for humorous purposes only as to avoid any substantive discussion.

6/29/2011 12:50:46 PM

independent of her political beliefs she is prone to making statements that are factually incorrect

6/29/2011 12:57:16 PM

i hope she wins and i can be some sort of intern.

if you know what i mean!

6/29/2011 1:02:52 PM

how is it that the conservatives on this board are so fucking dumb

surely there's one of you that doesn't just regurgitate Fox News talking points every time one of your homeboys (girls) is insulted

6/29/2011 1:03:30 PM

OH HAI MARK

6/29/2011 1:04:07 PM

i find it amusing that the only defense against the stupidity of particular republican candidates is "we don't like the current president, so..." as if that makes them any less stupid

Guy 1: "Bachmann is a crazy woman who says ridiculous shit"

Guy 2: "Yeah, well, Obama's screwed up too."

Guy 1: "Right, how does that change my first statement."

Guy 2: "Enjoy your hope and change, liberal!"

Yes, she is. I'm about to blow your mind, bro: politicians are not the smartest among us, they're just good at manipulating people. You get elected by pandering to your voter base, not by being right or honest. This is not new, nor is it exceptionally funny; it's a depressing commentary on the future of this country.

...it's a NCSU-based message board? Luckily, we've got a good amount of pseudo-intellectual hipsters that use TDS as their main source to learn about current events, so that seems to balancing the scales a bit.
