Well, It's been a Very Bad Week for the Freepers.
Bachmann bobbles, gay marriage angst-in-their-pants, and Affordable Health Care Act fail - all in this week's Obsession with the Freeperati!
OK - let's see what we've got there.
(you guys knew this was coming)
Killer Clowns!!
The wrong John Wayne (Rollins appears to be Bachman's Idiot)

"RummyChick"?
Does that mean you're a Donald Rumsfeld groupie, or that you just like to drink a lot?
Rep. Michele Bachmann kicked off her presidential campaign on Monday in Waterloo, Iowa, and in one interview surrounding the official event she promised to mimic the spirit of Waterloo's own John Wayne.
The only problem, as one eagle-eyed reader notes: Waterloo's John Wayne was not the beloved movie star, but rather John Wayne Gacy, the serial killer.
Mrs. Bachmann grew up in Waterloo, and used the town as the backdrop for her campaign announcement, where she told Fox News: "Well what I want them to know is just like, John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa. That's the kind of spirit that I have, too."
(Someone has already posted the clip to YouTube under the name BachmannLovesGacy) John Wayne, the movie legend, is in fact from Iowa and the John Wayne birthplace is a celebrated landmark — only it's in Winterset, which is a nearly three hour drive away from Waterloo. Gacy, though, had his first taste of the criminal life in Waterloo, where he lived for a short time, and where he had his first criminal conviction for an attempted homosexual assault, which landed him in prison for 18 months. He would move back to Illinois, where his killing spree started, and lasted about six years. In 1980 he was convicted on 33 counts of murder, and was executed in 1994.

Stupid mistake

Stupid candidate.
To: RummyChick
I don’t care whether you are liberal or conservative, this is a pretty funny gaffe. How stupid could her staff be? And I say this as someone who is really impressed with her and hopes she goes far in politics.
Kick off the campaign in the “Spirit of John Wayne Gacy” — that is funny.

Clowns are always funny. And creepy. (whether or not they run for office)
To: RummyChick
Can’t we find anyone who knows what they are talking about?

Apparently not.

"Stupid mistake"
As a life-long conservative with a (l)libertarian bent, I have NEVER understood support for Bachmann.
Anyone who thinks she has a chance in this election cycle does not understand American politics IMHO.
I can't imagine a scenario where I would vote for her.

Maybe Chris Wallace should revisit his apology on the use of the word flake.
This stupid comment from her is going to make for some real laughable headlines.
It is going viral..for sure.

Ya think?
To: RummyChick
At least she didn’t suggest that while in Waterloo, she’d like to visit the field where Napoleon lost that big battle.

Heh.

She will cut, slash, and hack the federal budget in the spirit of serial killers everywhere.

Gacy wasn't really even that good in True Grit.

I hope she get's the Boston Strangler & Son of Sam's endorsement next.
This woman is a complete moron.

I’m from Minnesota and know of Bachmann.
She is ditzy... no way presidential material.

Yes, and I think it could have blown her chance. Now everyone is going to be talking about her huge Gaffe and making fun of her.
Like:
Andy Daglas - “Michele Bachmann compares herself to great patriots of old, like Sam Adams and his celebrated offspring, Son of Sam.”

Michelle certainly brings out the funny in the Freeparati, I'll give her that.
To: RummyChick
Palin & Bachmann can't speak to reporters.
They are both too dumb.
Is it honestly too freaking much to ask for a person with half a brain??

I don't think Dubya's eligible for another term.
To: rintense
LOL. I thought Gacy was fabulous with Maureen O’Hara.
Although I'm glad they cut the scene out of the Quiet Man where Sean throttled Mary Kate and buried her in the potato patch.

Bachmann's staff = too stupid for Google or Wikipedia. John Wayne was born in Winterset, Iowa.

Holy moly. Yeah, that’s bad background investigation. And, as someone from Waterloo, Iowa, she should know better.
/FWIW, Wiki says he’s from Winterset, Iowa.
