And leaks out far too often.
Two hypocritically ignorant C-words is what they, Bachmann and Palin.
Agreed, trying times we're having.
As the TP starts to die off and become irrelevant... there is hope for the future of the this county.
Brave girls like this young lady are our hope for the future, standing up to unqualified politicians like Bachmann.
Imho, the Tea Party, chaotic and contradictory as it was, was a good thing. The fact that it's being gradually co-opted is a sad thing. There are numerous problems with our system that will never be addressed by the parties in power because the problems benefit those parties.As the TP starts to die off and become irrelevant... there is hope for the future of the this county.
I am just glad that the young lady is paying attention. Her actual political views, w/e they may be, are secondary to that.Brave girls like this young lady are our hope for the future, standing up to unqualified politicians like Bachmann.
Doesn't matter, though, does it? The talking point is already established: liberal elitist etc etcs coerce girl into phony attack on Bachmann. Doesn't matter what is true, this is what they perceive as having happened. Thanks to Fox News, even contradictory talking points don't register with the right-wing base. For instance, despite Fox News having done a positive bit on "rapper" Common a while back, the current story is that he's a thug rapper who advocated killing cops and President Bush. The Oprah Winfrey of rappers is now a "thug" to the right. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here!
I think that Bachmann is most likely not the only politician who would have trouble holding his or her own against a determined teenager in a debate.
It would seem that anyone who spent time on the internet would realize that people say stupid things here. I was totally unsurprised to hear that some anonymous commenters said some hateful things. Imho, it wouldn't've matter to much what she had said or done--someone one the internet is likely to say something stupid about it.Someone (a teen girl), did something that caused a Public Figure (Bauchman) to be in an awkward situation. Some people may or may not have sent her threats and harassed her, because people, in general suck. This isn't a "TEA PARTY" thing, or a CONSERVATIVE thing, this is a "PEOPLE SUCK" thing.
Welcome to DP! :2wave:Thus a nothing thread like this full of rants of righteous indignation by certain posters that were told they should say and feel a certain way.

You and me both, brother.
And I'm a big dirty "leftist" because I call out Fox News and the Palinites.
The Far-Right has moved so far away from center it seems like left...

Um...I think you mean insulting a child makes the Tea Baggers look really bad...
You're welcome.
Yeah, was just me-tooing because "Welcome to DP" seemed too short by itself.I was merely reiterating the sitaution.
I agree with the adage that you can often judge stature by enemies. But I don't think that it reflects on the teen that much at all. If I were the politician, I wouldn't've debated her either for the reasons already stated here.The reason the Teen is really not all that brave nor intelligent is NO Politician outside of local levels would ever be DUMB enough to take them up on such a debate. It'd be political suicide. Bachamann would, regardless of performance, judged badly by pretty much everyone if she took up such a debate.
What I want to know is since when is a presidential candidate required to debate someone who isn't even old enough to vote in the election?
It's so hard for the far-right base to admit the intellectual shortcomings of their party.
Newt had one decent idea, and they through him under the bus for Lady Nada.

Because Bachmann ignored the debate request or some people were mean to a teen aged girl for making a stupid "debate demand"?

You are in full force today, but it's growing tiresome, have any original ideas Hazlnut?
This is what happens with Impotent Rage. The Tea Party is angry, but lack the itellect to understand their anger is really projections of their own failings, bigotry, homophobia, etc.
Now they verbally rape an underage girl.
That how rapists are made, impotent rage.
If he didn't have hate... he'd have nothing.As usual, you haven't the first clue about the tea party or it's supporters, even though it has been explained to you over and over and over again. Why do you hate the people who support fiscal responsibility? Are you telling us that you support fiscal irresponsibility? The only "hate" I see is coming from you and your ilk, not from the tea party and it's supporters.
Please show me a source verifying your statement that the young lady involved demanded that Bachmann debate her I read the letter she "challenged" not "demanded".

So, now Bachmann is not a Teabagger darling anymore?
Yes, as we know, you are all about pure, free policy and principled driven folks, and not folks with clear, partisan hack agendas. For example, the proof for this is your love of Media Matters...:roll:Why do you say that? I was with the Tea Party for the first 5 minutes, until they got co-opped by the Koch bros and became the rebranded GOP.
So you are against fiscal responsibility.I support intelligent and pragmatic leaders like President Obama.
I would suggest you get out more.
