At ‘Kill the Bill’ rally, Bachmann compares Obama to Chavez
Minn Independent ^ | 3/15/10 | Andy Berkeley

Posted on 03/15/2010 8:23:32 AM PDT by pissant

About 1,000 people gathered at the Minnesota State Capitol lawn Saturday to hear Rep. Michele Bachmann speak out against health care reform. Billed as the “Kill the Bill Rally,” Bachmann railed against a “government takeover” of all aspects of the economy and compared Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez.

“Some have called President Obama the first post-American president,” Bachmann said. “Certainly this health care bill would be our first postmodern legislation where words mean absolutely nothing.”

While other speakers took the podium, Bachmann was easily the crowd favorite, and her supporters waved signs reading “Obama Lies, Babies Die,” “Damn this federal government to hell,” “Obama bin Lyin’” and “The citizens must declare war on their immoral, corrupt, Marxist government.”

“Obama’s idea is for Pelosi to pass a bill and have her members vote on something they never voted for. Sounds more like a Chavez tactic in Venezuela,” said Bachmann. “We have a duty to resist tyranny. This isn’t a joke. They can’t do this. The government is working against us. They are not working for us, and they got it all backwards. They work for us. We don’t work for them.”

"I rarely hear any calls for her to run for president. I think she’d be excellent."

Michael Savage has already given her his endorsement for 2012.

Chavez is doing the same thing in the schools now. He just got there a little differently but we have our own hemisphere with Hitler and Mussolini now.We are so screwed and we better get all the ammo and guns we can NOW. I foresee something happening in DC one day. I don't know what or when and am not an organizer but my 6th sense says there will be some big pubic show of displeasure.

You are right, its easy to say and parrot. Like Blame Bush... Few of the current generation fully understand Hitler’s mechanics, methodology and evil genius. In both cases, Obmam and Hitler, nefarious really stands out. The German people did not want what he gave them and where he took them.

Here? The sheople are asleep. Tyranny is on its way!

Bush? Is demonstrating good etiquette and accordingly politics. Guaranteed he does not endorse what is going on. Frequently politics calls for silent diplomacy. I can assure you far more is occurring than you or I are aware.

No. A person who sits at home at his computer and calls the man who saved America and the world and protected us against terrorists at the expense of his popularity, is more accurately called a "pantywaist" (correcting your mistake - you can't even insult people right. lol).

Bush is doing what he ought to do as a former President. And you?

President Chávez and several ministers were in the presidential palace, which was surrounded by tanks. The evening of 11 April, members of the military high command entered the palace, demanding Chávez' resignation. General Manuel Rosendo, chief of the National Unified Army Command (CUFAN) at the time, reported that he and others chose to disobey the president when he ordered them to apply Plan Ávila, a contingency plan designed to deal with major disturbances.[clarification needed][24]

Chávez, under arrest in Turiamo.In the early hours of 12 April, the coup plotters demanded Chávez' resignation. With the loss of "almost all ... military force on hand in order to resist or move to another place",[25] Chávez said that he would consider it, in order to avoid a potential bloodbath if there were disturbances involving the crowds outside Miraflores.[26] However he declared that four conditions would have to be met, including that he be allowed to resign before the National Assembly, with power passing constitutionally to the Vice President prior to new elections; and that he would be able to address the nation live on television.[27][25] At 3 am, with the coup plotters threatening to bomb the Miraflores palace if Chávez did not resign, Chávez told General-in-Chief Lucas Rincón that he would do so. Within twenty minutes Rincon had announced on television that Chávez had been asked for his resignation, and had accepted.[28] A few minutes later, Chávez was told that the four conditions he had declared would no longer be accepted, and Chávez declared that he would surrender himself to the coup plotters as "president prisoner".[29] After the resignation had been announced, Chávez was escorted under military guard to Fort Tiuna, where he met with representatives of the Roman Catholic Church. Chávez was also met by army officers...

"There ARE no more qualifiers after Obama."

If you prefer another worthless boob with an R instead of a D after his name, then you're right.

We have work to do, and we need someone that understands all the details, and has the skills, and courage to get it done. That is why Palin is the only real candidate.

If you consider Bachmann a worthless boob, then you have me pegged.

Or, There goes my blood pressure. You can see how fond Chavez is of this reprobate.

We’re in great shape!

Don’t push straw, your retort was without qualifiers.

Bachman has right thinking, but displays no evidence that she has any idea on how to get the job done.

Twenty years as a Naval officer; certainly more than the total experience, combined, of the opposing ticket.

We can’t wait until 2012 to get rid of Obama. He has already done profound damage to our country, without having passed Obama Care, amnesty, or cap n trade.

I would not mind in the least having Michelle Bachmann as President, Sarah Palin as Secretary of Energy and Barack Obama as Ambassador to Kenya.
