This is an interesting quote from her speech:
Anytime you follow a statement with “but”, there’s a problem with it.
I guess the Boston Massacre of 1770 was not a good enough example for her to use. Even that would be a silly comparison to make.
Isn’t “eclipsed in front of our eyes” exactly what you want to happen to “a similar death and a similar taking away”?
Not only is she offensive, but she can’t even be coherent in the process.
“There’s no analogy, except in these ways they’re analogous.”
BTW, IMO this isn’t special enough that it needed a whole new thread instead of being added to the long-running “…Crazy Eyes” thread.
You mean the New Hampshire massacre.
Tough shit. I didn’t want to dredge that one up and add it to what, Page 8? 28?
She was talking about Lexington and Concord during the Revolutionary war, but mentioned they were in new Hampshire. Her explanation was that she used Obama’s teleprompter and promised to never use it again. How does that make sense even to a tea bagger?
So when is she going to provide the birth certificate to prove she wasn’t born in Canada, 'ay?
For that matter, when is she going to prove that she was BORN, not engineered in a Petri dish by a Nobel-for-chemistry scientist’s undergraduate lab assistant?
She’s as clever as she is beautiful.
I think you guys are missing the real story, which is that Bachmann’s mom is responsible for the holocaust (which strangely, is only the second worst think she’s responsible for).
Yeah, the worst goes without saying.
Do you know who ELSE’s second worst thing they’re responsible for was the Holocaust?
This is exactly the kind of loose talk that will harm US relations with Canada. Please refrain from such libel against Canada.
You’re only saying that because you won’t take her back.*
- Hypothetically assuming that she was born in Canada and not created in a petri dish.
If she were to be expelled from the USA, would any civilized country accept her?
Define “civilized”. For instance, I am told that Canada has quite a few paved roads.
Yeah, right. Whatcha gonna do about it, beaver boy!
Her comments were fairly stupid IMHO because it’s best to avoid comparing any aspect of anything to the Holocaust (lest idiots like many of those who have already posted to this thread get their panties in a twist).
But the actual point she was making has some merit IMHO. All she was saying is that we are at a time in history when people may later look back and ask “why didn’t you do anything to stop it?”
