The folks trying to claim her as “stupid” do so because they cannot understand what she is saying, even though she speaks at a 5th grade level so that ALL can understand. I am NO book scholar, but I get everything she states.
Either they really ARE that stupid or just REFUSE to listen to reason......and facts.
A lot of the vitriol directed at Bachmann during the election was for no other reason than she stood in the way of their chosen candidate.
It would have been funny if it weren’t so pathetic watching FReepers embrace their inner enviroweenie over her comment that we can even drill for oil and gas in the everglades. (There are working wells in the everglades today)
Conservatives should have the moral courage to remain above that sort of behavior. That doesn’t mean they had to vote for her, just be adult enough to refrain from attacking when we all know she’s right.
