Bachmann: Obama embraced 'agenda of Islamic jihad'
The Hill ^ | 12/24/14 | David McCabe

Posted on 12/24/2014 5:22:23 PM PST by Libloather

Outgoing Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) says President Obama has embraced the “agenda of Islamic jihad” at every turn.

“I have been very surprised, to answer your question, to see the president of the United States, at every turn, cut the legs off of our ally Israel, and in fact embrace and lift up the agenda of Islamic jihad,” she said in an interview released Wednesday with "Washington Watch," a radio show produced by the socially conservative Family Research Council.

Bachmann criticized the president for writing to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to encourage a deal on Tehran's nuclear program. “This really is a spiritual battle that we’re dealing with,” she added. “And while the president continues to say that this is not about the religion of Islam, I beg to differ.”

Her comments were first reported by BuzzFeed News.

Bachmann said she spoke to Obama at this year's White House Christmas party and encouraged him to take action against Iran. But she said the president mocked her concerns.

“And he laughed at me condescendingly, and he said, ‘Well, Michele, it isn’t that easy. But that’s OK.’ Like patting me on the head, like I didn’t know what I was talking about,” she said.

It's not the first time Bachmann has made controversial comments about Islam. In 2012, she said that Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin had ties to the extremist Muslim Brotherhood.

Her decision to retire leaves House Republicans without one of their more outspoken conservative voices.

She regularly pushed the conference to take a harder line against President Obama, including working with Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) to seek a vote on legislation to challenge executive action deferring deportations for millions of illegal immigrants.

"Power to the people"

Those being the people who Gruber was referring to that is...........

Too stupid to know what is being done to them and who is doing it to them.

Is speaking the truth now “extreme”?

It has been for as long as I can remember -- and I'm not young.

This sounds rather more to me like the Barbie doll which said "Math is hard!"

I’ll think he’ll admit to being a homosexual before he admits to being Moslem. He still has more work (damage) to do and he still needs the cover to do it.

“...racial jihad will become a common every day happening as Obama shapes and organizes communities for his goals.”

I would surmise Obama’s goals include destroying as much of honorable U.S. culture as he can in the time he has left.

If that's a controversial comment by Bachmann, the author of this piece must be on some other planet! Abedin's immediate family members, including parents, are associated with the Muslim Brotherhood or Muslim Sisterhood. And, BTW, the relationship between Abedin and HRC has been reputed to be more than merely "aide."

Most of us in her district still admire her a lot. I will also miss her as she spoke truth to power without flinching, a virtue largely lost in this generation.

We have elected Tom Emmer to replace Michele. I believer he will be a worthy successor to her. Already some newspaper editors are bemoaning the fact that he is adamantly conservative and they are ‘hoping’ he will be less caustic than Michele. I personally like Tom because he is steadfast and unapologetic in his Conservative beliefs. The fact that liberals are worried about him speaks volumes.

Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District remains staunchly conservative GOP.

Her parents and brother were MB leadership; she edited an MB publication for years before signing on with Clinton.

I’m sure we haven’t heard the last from her. Too bad her district forced her to retire.

Her district did not force Bachmann to retire. She did not lose an election. She announced she wasn't going to run for re-election many months ago.

Would anyone have any idea as to the real reason(s) Bachmann stepped down?

The only thing surprising is that congress has let him continue support jihadists over Israel.

I believe Michele Bachmann said from the beginning that she would only serve a few terms.
