Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann is outspoken, conservative, media-friendly — and for many in the Democratic Party, a new public enemy No. 1.
Now that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is out of office, there are few Republican officials in the country Democrats would rather unseat in 2010 than Bachmann, a two-term congresswoman with a habit of pushing the buttons of liberals on everything from ACORN to global warming to even whether President Barack Obama is, as she once asked, "anti-American."
"She's definitely somewhere up there," Bachmann chief of staff Michelle Martson said of where the Minnesota congresswoman sits on the Democratic campaign hit-list.
Bachmann has long been on the receiving end of pointed jabs on liberal blogs like Daily Kos, where one commenter wrote a few weeks back, "After having just returned from a trip to Minnesota, I shake my head that such a beautiful place would be represented by such an ugly individual as Bachmann."
Ask Democratic officials in the state about Bachmann, and they can barely contain their anger.
"She is a bizarre news story of the month every month," said Brian Melendez, chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.
"Michele Bachmann is just nuts," said Jeremy Powers, a local DFL chair in Bachmann's district. "She is just an utter embarrassment."
And some Democrats — Powers included — don't hesitate to compare Bachmann with the aforementioned Palin, another conservative lightning rod in her mid-40s who speaks with an upper-Midwestern accent, is the mother of a large family and touts a stridently socially conservative agenda that Democrats regard as outright right wing.

Palin? Bachmann? What is going on here? The leftards are afraid or jealous.
The men are afraid of them. The women want them, but can’t have them.
Demon Rat MinneySotans are embarassed by Bachmann?
They got diaper boy Franken-Bunns and they’re peeing on Bachmann?
We are indeed living in BizarrrrO-USA.
never heard of her, but sounds like she has the right stuff
of course like Joe the Plumber, the MSM will investigate her more thoroughly in 24 hours than they did Baraq in 24 months
Could someone here please refresh my memory? Which party was it that decried the “politics of personal destruction?” I’m having a hard time recalling that. Thanks in advance.
Oh, sorry, no it has nothing whatsoever to do with this thread. Not at all. Why do you ask?
Bachmann, the anti-Pelosi
I love the way being a mother of a “large” family (i.e., above one precious, probably adopted child) and having a non-Ivy accent has suddenly become the sign of an enemy of the people.
That being said, I love Michele Bachmann. She would have my vote no matter what she runs for.
So what is it with the Diversity Nazi’s who now appear to be hell bent for leather to completely destroy the lives of 2 Republican women?
Damn strait she does!
Best rep I have ever had!
Do a search for her on YouTube and you will find several videos of her beating up Chrissy Mathews....well worth the time and some good LOL's too!
“is just nuts,” “is just an utter embarrassment.”
We could say the same about your president,
The dimwits always have to try and stink up someones life.
Mostly, tho, it is the liberal metro-sexuals who fawn over women with commie ideas and a genuine hatred for most men (but especially for the white male). Interesting to watch. Must be a result of losing one's balls.
Liberals care so much about what others think about them that they live according to the latest poll or the latest media driven pop culture ideal. And laughably, these de-balled girlish jerks care what EUROPEANS think of them....give me a break! LOL!!!
Women like Rep Bachmann and Ex-governor Palin avoid PC hell and treat it like it is....actually hell.
Makes the girlie men like Reid and Waxman and Durbin and Schummer and Dodd and FWANK and Dingell and even republicans like Lugar and Graham appear exactly like they are...de-nutted or neutered. They have LOST their ability to speak with clarity and with great decision. Instead the do the liberal waffle, filling in with flowing words that mean nothing, and pretend they are still men.
OF COURSE Sarah and Michelle scare them....these two girls are stronger in their core beliefs than all of those losers put together.
Works for me.
Michele is the real deal and would make a great VP pick for Sarah. Hey, if the girls have the b*lls, vote for the girls (even if they are pretty).
