Michele Bachmann mocked with her own words in Tarryl Clark's new website
By Hart Van Denburg, Wednesday, May. 5 2010 @ 10:50AM


​Just in time for her paranoia road show in California, Michele Bachmann's crazy conspiracy theories have all been gathered in one neat interactive package by her DFL challenger, Tarryl Clark.

Whether in fun quiz form, nifty embeddable widgets for your blog for or interactive sound board, the sixth district congresswoman's greatest hits are all there.

The Obama paranoia: "I'm very concerned that he (Barack Obama) may have anti-American views.

The AmeriCorps paranoia: "Young people will be put into mandatory service ... there are provisions for re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in the philosophy that the the government puts forward."

The health care paranoia: "Death panels are the bureaucracies that President Obama is establishing where bureaucrats will make the decision on who gets access to health care and how much."

​The Bill Clinton paranoia: "They said that Bill Clinton gave a speech yesterday -- the former president -- at the Center for American Progress, John Podesta's group. He gave a speech, and he called me out in his speech."

And of course, the too-crazy-for-Glenn-Beck census paranoia: "Private personal information that was given to the Census Bureau in the 1940s was used against Americans to round them up, in a violation of their constitutional rights, and put the Japanese in internment camps." .............(more)

1. Isn't it true, however...
...that "private personal information that was given to the Census Bureau in the 1940s was used against Americans to round them up, in a violation of their constitutional rights, and put the Japanese in internment camps?"

2. Yes...But these days Republicans would be more likely to use it against Latinos
That was seventy years ago and I believe most Americans have learned from that.

In any case, taking a census is manadated by the Constitution and so I would think that Tea Baggers, so seemingly vigilant when it comes to "the constitution" should know that:eyes:

3. You would think...
but the teabagger 'constitution' bears no resemblance to the actual constituting document that our people and their representatives recognized in the 1790s. If you want to cause teabagger heads to explode, give them a copy of the Constitution and amendments and force them to read it. They don't like that.
