Michele Bachmann stares down heckler in Iowa

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Michele Bachmann said again Monday that the American intervention in Libya was a mistake — but this time she had to talk over a heckler who shouted vulgarities at her.

Jenny Watkins, 22, shouted at Bachmann from the back of a large room at the University of Iowa here, while a male companion held a sign that read "Desensitized Homosexual" — a reference to an earlier part of Bachmann's speech, when she said she worried that children in elementary school would be desensitized to homosexuality. The two might have been escorted out with little fanfare, but Bachmann stopped to address them — "If you'd like to ask a question later, I'd be more than happy to have you do that," she said before continuing to talk about Libya.

Mrs. Bachmann seems to have excellent stances on the issues. It’s hard to find a chink in the armor.

Mrs. Bachmann seems to handle hecklers well.

Conservative politicians have to learn how to do this; perhaps they should study greate comedians, who also need that skill. They have to learn how to say a few quick words that turn the whole audience against the heckler or make them laugh at the heckler; preferably both.

One has to be able to logically turn the tables, be sarcastic and at least formally polite at the same time, and be quick about it.

Good point and not a skill all politicians develop. For example, I can’t see McCain or Kerry ever handling a heckler well.

She gets her foot stuck in her mouth once in a while, BUT she is a "staunch conservative" (as the LSM loves to report) and I am willing to overlook that little problem on anyone that is willing to take on the Obozo and his RAT Party. She is up for the battle as best I can tell. She and Col West would be a good team. They can both take on the sodomites and muzzies and still have time for the RAT party.

It’s always interesting to read the comments underneath such articles.

Comment by conservative - usually some intelligent analysis but may be drawn into something about hating Obama. OK.

Comment by lib - usually some total mispelled rant with profanity about how the conservative is a piece of you know what. With some sexual mentions, usually homosexual. If they go off on another subject its usually about Fox.
And there is usually some GINGRICH/Palin/Boehner EATS BABIES!

It’s rare you find a good liberal argument, even in a lib blog. It’s usually all seething hate.

Saw in a news item somewhere that the actual number was at about 1.6%. Perhaps someone else here saw the news report.

The rest of the so-called GOP leadership could learn a lot from Michele Bachmann. She is 1000x the leader Boehner is.
