Rep. Michele Bachmann to protesters: 'Scare' Congress
By DANIEL LIBIT | 11/4/09 9:05 PM EST

In a conference call Wednesday night with bloggers and activists for the advocacy group Americans for Prosperity, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) called on protesters to “scare” members of Congress into killing the proposed health care reform bill.

If the protesters succeed in scaring lawmakers, Bachmann said that it could cripple efforts to restructure health care for a decade.

“Nothing scares members of Congress more than freedom-loving Americans,” Bachmann said.

She said that members were frightened by the August town hall meetings, but “then they came back to Washington, and they got back in the bubble and Speaker Pelosi put the hammer down on the Democrats.”

Bachmann said that last week, as it appeared a House bill could pass, “I was near despair.”

Last Thursday, she said that in desperation at the prospect of health care legislation passing, she happened upon the idea of a spontaneous meet-up of opponents of the bill on the steps of the Capitol.

Republican organizers are planning for activists to go into the House office buildings and the U.S. Capitol and confront members directly after a press conference at noon.

“Don’t bring your pitchforks,” Bachmann said, “bring your video cameras.”

The republicans will allow the teabaggers in the Capitol with their guns? Remember, during the campaigns, the pubbies supported their right to do so. Hate to see them look all hypocritical by not allowing them their right.

I'm not sure what they were charged with. "Trespassing", maybe? However, the moment Bachmann and her marauding moronic minions walk into the U.S. Capitol they'll be in clear violation of the statute banning "Public Appearances By Incredibly Ignorant Yahoos".
BOOK 'EM, DANNO....

13. I saw el retardo on tv

She is looking for trouble. Most of the congress run anytime they see a camera what the hell makes her think that they will allow them to be looked right in the eyes. Hell isn't she a runner. I never see her ass getting looked straight in the eye. All we see is her shitty little tonsils at the back of her throat with her mouth open with something ridiculous coming out of it. You know i probably would pay her husband a dollar if he would stick something in it to shut her up. Hard to talk with your mouth full Michelle.
