Talking Points Memo caught it-- YouTube video of C-Span footage. She's gone off publicly, like a roman f***ing candle again. On the floor of Congress, she suggested that President Obama and the attorney general advised the September 11 terrorist mastermind to avoid execution by demanding a trial in New York.
There is video. There is transcript. (continued)
Here's the video:
To this day, a small number of people back in Minnesota (claiming to be Democrats!) give me grief for pointing out that Bachmann really is a nut. Some of them apparently think that pointing out that she's a nut (when she proves that she's a nut) is just "Dem hype."
The thinking behind that thinking is: "you're just publicizing her," or "to beat her in the 6th, we liberals and progresives have to 'reach out' to kind of voters who believe that the current President is colluding with the people blew up the World Trade Center and Pentagon. We can't alienate the voters by pointing out that Bachmann is in fact a rabid, no holds barred lunatic lying demagogue."
Which leads to the question: how are we supposed to cover it when Bachmann (with no evidence) publicly suggests that President of the United States and the US Attorney are actively giving aid and comfort to one of the guys who masterminded the September 11th terrorist attacks?
Here's Bachmann, speaking on the floor on the floor of the House
This is an extremely important point. Again, the mastermind of 9-1-1, who achieved his goal of killing 3,000 innocent Americans in the World Trade Center bombing, he got his way.
Why would we give him his way by bringing him to New York City, at over $200 million a year taxpayer expense, to give him a show trial when he has already plead guilty and already asked to be executed? What happened?
Did the president, did the attorney general say to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, "Now wait a minute, you don't want to plead guilty. Wait a minute you don't want to be executed. You want to come to New York City."
