One comment Michele Bachmann has never fully explained came during a debate she had while running for Congress for the first time in November 2005. Responding to a question on the rioting in France and Europe at the time, she said "not all cultures are equal, not all values are equal," letting it be known that she thought that people of the Muslim faith had an "inferior" culture to that of the United States.

Michele Bachman has obviously been drinking the FOX Nutwork Kool Aid given her statements here. In the video of the debate, regarding the European unrest, she refers to a "generation of unassimilated Muslim French youth addicted to cable television,", led by her imaginary fantasy, al Jazeera.

Bachmann's knowledge of what was actually happening in France is completely wrong and in fact a blatant lie/misstatement of what actually happened. Case in point, the unrest was not a "jihad" and it had nothing to do with religious faith or Muslim culture or even al Jazeeera. The European riots came after two suburban youth were killed in a police chase. The unrest was centered on decades of discrimination.

Michele Bachmann acts and talks a lot like Pinnochio Palin, only Bachman is a little more forthcoming with her true beliefs, ugly and misguided as they most certainly are.

Michele Bachmann, speaking for herself:

Transcript:

Minnesota Republican 6th Congressional District Debate sponsored by the Taxpayers League- November 2005.

Moderator: Given the recent rioting in France that is the result of a sub-culture that has not assimilated, what would you do to make sure that a similar situation does not take place in America?

[...]

Michele Bachmann: I just want to say only in France, only in France could you have suburban youth rioting because the welfare benefits aren't generous enough. And that's... That's what they're telling us now is happening there. And only in France could that happen.

And what we're seeing is just the fruits of leftism. It's suburbanites, the kids, that are watching cable TV, Did you know that? In a lot of these high rises where a lot of the suburban youth are doing writing or doing they have cable TV in their apartments. They're listening to al Jazeera, and they're being encouraged and prompted to go ahead and start these riots all over France.

There is a movement afoot that's occurring and part of that is whole philosophical idea of multi-cultural diversity, which on the face sounds wonderful. Let's appreciate and value everyone's cultures. But guess what? Not all cultures are equal. Not all values are equal.

And one thing that we're seeing is that in the midst of this violence that's being encouraged by al Jazeera and by the jihadists that's occurring, is that we are seeing that those who are coming into France -- which had a beautiful culture -- the French culture is actually diminished. It's going away. And just with the population of France they are losing Western Europeans and it's being taken over by muh...by a Muslim ethic. Not that Muslims are bad. But they are not assimilating.

And that's what I had mentioned in my previous response is that America is a great nation, with great values. We are equal opportunity for all. And it's because we all came here and we came together as one. Out of many one. Multi-cultural diversity says out of one many. And if we go with tribalism we will not long be one nation united under God.
