Michele Bachmann 'Hates Muslims'

What an absurd hit piece on Ron Paul. "but who's to say he's even telling the truth?"
Good god, at least pretend to have some journalistic integrity.

I'll help you out here.

1. Grab a dictionary

2. Look up the definition of "commentary"

3. Facepalm.

So as a "writer", in a less formal publication you think it's okay to spew lies and propaganda? I don't follow.

p.s. I bet your books are awesome
(1. grab a dictionary

2. look up sarcasm)

There've been no lies posted -- perhaps if you can point out a factual error someone may acknowledge you, but it appears the quote you're having a hard time with is commentary -- too bad for you.

Thank you for the link RF I am rethinking my vote for him in the Iowa Caucus.

Yes Mark John it is perfectly clear that Michelle Bachmann who has said time and again that she doesnt agree with the Muslim faith, that she was terribly opposed to the Mosque being built at the sacred Burlington Coat Factory building in NY and has come out pretty strong that this is a Christian nation so Muslims go home so accusing her of hating Muslims is libel yet

Calling Obama a commie, pinko socialist, Kenyan Marxist Muslim is justified.

I've never seen a more honest and caring politician living today than Ron Paul. Check his voting record for the last 30 years and you'll find he's always voted to protect the rights of the individual. He's never done or said anything that went against his beliefs on equal rights for all people. That newsletter was not written or reviewed by Paul at the time, unfortunately. You can be suspicious of this claim, but watch some of his videos on youtube, and you'll find if your anti-war and pro-freedom, he's the guy you need to vote for in 2012. I say that from my heart and with all sincerity. Just give him a chance and keep an open mind.

How caring is it to protect the rights of the individual
to die if they do not have or cannot afford health care or
do not have health insurance.

There are a great many things one can die for lack of, Bruce. Food, shelter, car repairs, and body guards in some places . . If the Government goes broke, the economy is in depression, and corporate monopolies run everything, then a lot of poor people will suffer and die. Which is not to say I think some assistance to the poor through Governmental means is uncalled for, but that I realize we are in a bad way, economically, and Governmentally. and Corporately, so to speak.

Thing is, with a President that is truly devoted to Constitutional Governance, the Chief Executive is not a virtual dictator, and the other Branches in particular need to roughly agree with what the President does. We have become used to Presidents that behave like it's their right to command and commit the nation in virtually any sense they feel like, and under that paradigm, yes, the personal opinions and desires of the holder of that office are critically important, and potentially catastrophically dangerous, to all or us, really.

But that ain't what a President is, within the Constitutional framework . . and unless Mr. Paul has been doing some pretty damn good acting for several decades, he's rather committed to that framework. Given the situation we find ourselves in, I am having no difficulty at all supporting someone I feel is exactly what my nation needs at this moment in history. It us utterly clear to me that it's now or never, for the Constitutional Republic, freedom, and the very rule of law itself.

This is a drop-dead easy choice for me to make. We need a Doctor in the House, right away quick, I say ; )

At the time the newsletters were written, there was an independent editor managing them. Ron Paul's name and persona were all over them, since they were being sent out as the 'Ron Paul' newsletters, and he knows well, now, that he should have watched what was going out more carefully. At the time he was not in public office, however, he was practicing medicine. As part of that practice he NEVER accepted medicare or medicaid and made his junior partner promise to never do so either, yet they took all patients of all races and religions regardless of ability to pay and treated them the same as everyone else. They treated some of the poorest in Brazoria county that way.

Don't believe me, the NPR recently did an article mentioning this. Google it.

In addition, the NAACP district Chief of the district where Ron had been congressmen gave an interview saying he is not racist and that some of those in power were using this to try to keep Ron from being elected back to the Congress because his unwillingness to deviate from the Constitution caused problems with their corporatist solutions. (He used different words, but the guy's name is Linder, and the interview is on youtube.)

But I'm sure you know better.

"It's believable that Michele Bachmann hates muslims, because, well, she's famously ultra right-wing to the point of thumping a bible against the rights of other American citizens."

Although Bachmann diagrees with Islam it does not mean she hates Muslims. Would it be true to say that Chelsea Hoffman hates Christians?

Let's say for the sake of arguement that your above statement is true.
What difference does it make to you? You seem to have no problem with "religious" organizations openly antagonizing and attacking other religious organizations.

Mayor Declines Atheist Banner for Holiday Display

lol Lee - okiedokie ;)

I'm an atheist who wants all form of religion out of my government - -that includes gay-hating religious zealots who plan on using their "power" for that form of hate-fueled governing. It's fortunate she doesn't have a snowball's chance at winning, so it doesn't matter ;)

It's similar in some cases and places to saying that someone hates Nazis. In many places Islam is different in nature to the Wahabiist fundamentalist brand or radical Islam which is supported throughout the world by the Saudis and causes most of the problem.

I don't support Bachman and I do not know what she believes in regards to Islam, but I think when a religion or culture this toxic and ugly takes control of a religion, or country, such as the Taliban in Afghanistan and forbids the education of women, listening to music, in some cases any music except drum music and other inhuman laws - then I hate it to.

7 out of 10 mosques in the US are infiltrated by Wahabi money and personnel from Saudi Arabia, and it is a good bet that they are being used to promote radical Islam and probably terrorism. The US on the one side probably maintains agents to infiltrate and keep track of what is going on inside American mosques, but the Saudis at a national level have so much money invested and spread around in the US and distributed to our leaders they are bribing our government to allow them to do whatever they want when it comes to religion.

Then oddly enough they have the US government attacking Shiite countries and focusing on Iran, which certainly is a problem, but as we do this the Saudis are free to do what they want, and they are much worse in nature and in practice that Iran is.

This is not such a simple thing, and merely making it about Ron Paul and Bachman trivializes what is happening here.

Agreed, for the most part, Islam needs a reformation like Christianity went through in the 1500's. Like Christianity back then, Islam is in the "terrible teens" now (1400 years old, give or take) but the thing that is different is that you have more destructive things around now than back then. I don't want to shut the door on Islam all the way, but we need to face facts that many times the radicals do stereotype themselves and the religion itself by their actions. It is up to the ones who do not want to see their religion hijacked to stand up and be counted. In a few ways, that is happening but we need a lot more of that. Until then, yes, I would have to put more burden of proof on the practitioners of Islam that they are not out to cause mayhem. Political correctness will kill us all.

It's not that Bachmann hates Muslims, it's just that she wants their religion to disappear and she wants them in the meantime to not live in the USA. :)

Politifact's fact checking on Bachmann has revealed more inaccuracies in her statements than in any other Republican presidential candidate. It's not that she lies, it's just that she likes to make things up that sound truthy.

And where does your link provide any proof that she hates Muslims?

Oh, yah, lets not let the details get in the way of a good hack piece!

And where does your link provide any proof that she hates Muslims?

Right under the Obama hates white people proof.

I think hate is a strong word. I doubt that many people on gather that say stuff about Muslims have ever met or even know in general much about the people, their culture or their religion.

She is a politician if the zealots were against PB&J sandwiches she would speak out against them too.

You're right, we should focus more on those Amish terrorists instead. B-P

Even a casual observer can see that Bachmann's so-called Christian values are a hypocritical cover for a case of moderate Xenophobia.

Ron Paul would have needed the whole show to talk about all the people he hates. Blacks. Jews. Gays. Women. The list goes on and on. It's all in the Ron Paul newsletters.

Michelle Bachman is known in Minnesota more for her hatred of GLBT people than of Muslims. We have a very large Muslim population here (but not so much in her district) and I haven't really heard many comments on them but plenty of anti-GLbT comments. Her husband's counseling practice was caught on tape trying to 'pray the gay away'

If she were faced with a state-wide vote to have to keep her seat in congress there is no way she would win but lucky for her and unlucky for Minnesota she happens to represent the most conservative district in the state.

What you talking about Willis?

Odi, to say Ron Paul hates any group of people is ignorant. If you've ever listened to his positions or watched him speak, you'd understand. He's the only guy out there running to protect the INDIVIDUAL. That includes blacks, whites, gays, jews, everyone...

A specific example on gay rights. He doesn't believe there should be a law banning gay marriage. He doesn't believe it's the government's place to eve be involved in marriage. After all, it's a personal and religious issue.

I truly think if you listen to him with an open mind and forget party bias you'll hear a genuine guy trying to protect the people and speak the truth. I've been on both sides. I was a democrat most of my life. Then I realized that both parties are really the same. Nothing ever changes. Ron Paul is the only real person running for office.

There is nothing wrong with people who believe in the Muslim faith, and his words are pretty strong words, he better have proof to back up his statements,
It wouldn't surprise me if the statement were true it wouldn't really surprise me if it were on the other hand false.
But no matter what not because of the accusations or statements made by anyone else I am not supporting Bachman....
Right now I am undecided, but leaning towards Romney or Paul as a candidate, but keepin an open mind...

The Obama-Paul line of accommodation, apology, and appeasement towards radical Islam and Iran. "...for you to say maybe in a year they might have a weapon, there's a lot more saying they don't have it.” The only evidence that Paul will accept is an atomic weapon in Iran's hands. His policy of submission to radical Islam is the blueprint for national suicide for the U.S. I trust Michele Bachmann. She is as smart as a whip and tougher than steel--the little lady with a spine of titanium.
