Michele Bachmann’s Audience Laughs As GOP Pol Says She ‘Doesn’t Do Political Speech’
GOP congresswoman Michele Bachmann‘s audience laughed during a recent debate with challenger Jim Graves, when the frequent Fox talking head claimed that she doesn’t “do” political speech.
Michele Bachmann’s audience erupted in laughs of the clearly at her, not with her variety during the debate when Bachmann — who is known for spouting relatively meaningless political platitudes as well as disproven right-wing talking points — disavowed the practice, seen in the clip below.
Bachmann’s audience laughs as the candidate (who once described Planned Parenthood’s goal as setting their sights on becoming the “LensCrafters of Big Abortion” and said she believes that associates of President Obama are “are anti-American, by and large”) discusses what has been called “entitlement reform,” and Graves accuses her of not detailing the changes and how constituents would be affected.
Graves calls Bachmann out on having a vague position, a critique lobbed at the GOP on the national as well as state levels in the lead up to the 2012 election. He says:
“You just heard some political speak there … Again, Michele doesn’t say what she’s for. She says what she’s against.”
And like Mitt Romney, Michele engages in deflection. Rather than explaining the details of her position, Bachmann comments as the audience dissolves into laughter:
“This is a moral issue. We can’t go down the path that we’re in … I’ve very much been a part of the solution and it’s insulting to say these are political speech because that’s one thing I do not do is political speech.”
After the debate during which the audience laughs at Bachmann’s comment, the GOP congresswoman said she “delivered for the district in a bipartisan way.”

To bad this woman and Sarah Palin have the biggest balls in the Republican party! We need the men to act like them.

I hope more people have more s-e-n-s-e than you have. You can not even spell the word " sense" correctly.

No we don't. This woman is the most ignorant elected official that Congress has ever had. It's no wonder they didn't throw rotten eggs in her face. Her husband I agree is gay. They've been working on him through trying to help others not remain gay. She's got (5) kids and needs therapy. She started that fake-a** Tea Party and where are they now. Getting ready to get their a** beat out of office.

You are correct- I know the difference, but I missed that one! Thank you!

Extremely biased article. It doesn't really matter because it is all political anyway. Bachamann is a tremendous humanitarian and wonderful person. She has helped something like 23 foster children along with several of her own. Political hacks just hate her.

Robert Johnston You seem to have so much bitterness and hatred in you. Was that ignorant comment even necessary??? And a person with a college degree doesn't necessarily say you not stupid. Ever heard the term "book smart, life dumb"? If you support Michele Bachman, that fine. But you don't have to be hostile to others who don't. Besides you are not getting paid to go on these boards and bully people in her name….. Are you?
Nov 1, 2012
Don't fault the writer. All you had to do was watch her on TV. She is a foolish woman.

Andrea, peop;le like robert are under a self imposed dellusion that their opinion of me actually means something to me. it doesn't, , robert has no clue who i am nor what i do so he can only assume things about me and quite frankly it just proves to me how ignorant he is.
