Bachmann: 'Don't let them Palinize me!'
Poltico ^ | 8-13-09 | Glenn Thrush

Posted on 08/13/2009 5:54:12 PM PDT by AmericanSphinx71

Michele Bachmann is tossing around a new verb: "Palinize."

In the subject line of a fundraising pitch, Bachmann sends out a plea for money saying, "Don't let them Palinize me!"

Bachmann goes on to explain that Sarah Palin has been demonized by the left, and she quotes Sean Hannity saying she is now the "second-most-hated Republican woman" after Palin.

"With Gov. Palin taking a well-deserved step out of the spotlight, it appears that I may be absorbing even more of the liberals' scorn," Bachmann said.

But the Minnesota Republican also seems worried, as she warns that Democrats are raising "$30,000 a week" to defeat her.

Bachmann even drops in the urban dictionary definition of Palinize:

Palinize:

To smear or mock someone using falsehoods, baseless accusations or unsubstantiated character assassinations for the purpose of blocking them from achieving a goal.

To exaggerate the truth or lie by omission.

To attack a person for his or her conservative values by focusing an inordinate amount of attention on a single example of that person falling short (or being perceived as falling short) of the values they espouse.

She should have thought about that before voting for the huge pro-monsanto food control bill that just passed.

Bye Michelle.

Is that the bill that will regulate small truck farms out of existence?

Palinize is a term I have have thought of but didn’t say anything about. Interesting that someone would say that. She probably means the dems will try to smear her the way they tried to smear Palin.

This bill is targeted at small farms and food suppliers. It is payback to monsanto and big-agro. It greatly expands the power of the FDA, orwellian-style.

It was not a bill any self-described conservative Republican should have voted for.

Some people just can’t define the term conservative with their feeble minds so they resort to slamming them and become liberals via lack of conviction.

Michelle had a 100% conservative rating from the ACU in 2007 and 2008.
