You mean like claiming he gave the Medal of Honor at the White House to a dead marine?

“Are you a flake” Her answer should have been, NO Chrissy I am NOT your MOTHER!

So the palinisation by the MSM of Michele Bachmann starts. How appropriate that it was FOX News that started it.

I guess the good thing is that we will see if MB is as strong as SP and if she can stand tall despite the MSM throwing mud.

Wallace is a tool and so is the rest of the MSM and that includes Fox. Their inability or lack of desire to vet Obama or ask him serious questions from 2008 to the present is one of the biggest recorded cases of failed journalism.

We know lefties are never asked if they are flakes like Murcowsky, Cynthia McKinney, Nazi Pelosi, Sheila Jackson Lee, Jennifer Granholm, Claire McRaskill etc..................................the list is endless. All of those hags are flakes, and did I mention also extremely stupid?

Who out there has the guts to ask them if thay are a flake?

She has taken it and can take it. She regularly appears on opposition media and always holds her own.

Maybe they think she is a flake because she isn’t scared of them. LOL who knows. I believe most of these media types consider all conservative flakes. Too bad.

Looks like Chris Wallace issued an apology to her though.

Seems like a ridiculous question, but it also seems like she handled the question very well. If a candidate can consistently turn any question (friendly or not) and answer it well, this is a trait that will be vital in the campaign.

She is going to have to get a lot tougher..

That is my biggest concern about Bachmann. If she ends up being the Rep candidate, they will chew her up and spit her out, and it will be ugly. Her "tough talk" and body language in a controlled situation is, IMO, show and she has yet to show me she can be tough during uncontrolled situations.

This pasty-faced douchebag is a chip off the old liberal block.

I didn't see the Wallace/Bachmann interview but with over 50 comments about it on this thread, I feel as if I did.

I agree that Chris Wallace phrased it poorly but it seems as if Michele Bachmann answered it reasonably well, considering the rudeness of the question qualified it to be answered qwith a sarcastic remark, which probably wouldn't have helped Bachmmann at all. I also agree that Democrats from Obama on down are never asked tough questions and never insulted, as Bachmann clearly was. At least Chris Wallace realized he had blundered with the way he posed the question and apologized...the least he could do. I wish Michele Bachmann had asked Wallace if he intended to ask any Democrats about their mis-statements. Make him squirm a bit. Unfortunately, this is what any Republican candidate can expect - and much worse. For Sarah Palin, quadruple that. However, I think that Michele Bachmann can handle it and I know Sarah Palin can, because she already has.

"Bachmann could have responded better by not using her seemingly canned statement about who she is, IMO."


I have to agree with you on this one. She should have insisted that resorting to name calling is a sign of an inability to make a substantive argument on the issues being discussed. She could then have summarized what she saw as the critical issues of the day and her take on them. The next step would be to challenge her critics to get out of the sandbox, stop the childish name calling and join in an adult conversation on the critical issues facing us.

Very good interview - although I get so sad everytime I see and hear Chris Matthews. I used to listen to Alisitair Cook’s letters from America. We have fallen far, very far these last decades.

Anyway, funny to hear Matthews trying to deny the “thrill” quote by latching on to a sign that mentioned “tingles”. The libs are so transparent.

I’m emailing Fox calling for Wallace to be fired - wouldn’t it be nice if they got a few thousand such emails ?

Oh, the Fox website is absolutely disgusting in it’s glorification of debauchery.

I only read Fox as links from FR. I used to check it for news headlines but got sick of looking that it’s porn and party front page that is loaded with all kinds of freak shows instead of news.

American businesses have mostly turned into Sodom and Gomorrah.

She has made some gaffes. The 30k killed by NATO was kind of big.

Why does everyone think that statement by her is a gaffe?

Take the number of people killed in Libya by NATO in the past few months, and multiply that by however many years NATO has been in existence.

I bet the figure is higher than 30,000.
