I suppose Obama never benefited from affirmative action either.

This lady is just a couple of clicks to the left of Ron Paul on the kook meter. Her narrative is going to fall apart, especially when MSM/Dems/Romney's bottom feeding dumpster divers get a look at how long those 23 foster children she “raised” actually stayed with her.

My, how industrious and diligent the L.A. Times is when it suits their agenda.

Report: "As the Los Angeles Times reported on Sunday, however, in financial disclosure forms, Bachmann reported receiving between $32,503 and $105,000 in income from the farm, at minimum, between 2006 and 2009."

Response: I hate politicians. The B*stards live off of us and then lie. I can understand the attitude of a Frenchman towards his bankrupt "leaders" in the 1780's through 1790's.

Who thinks it bad that businesses are run in the manner the government prescribes?

Shouldn’t someone have the wit to decry that subsidies are so omnipresent that they’re usually impossible to avoid and be competitive?

Oh, Bachman does- unlike her most childish critics.

The libs did this last election to some conservatives who had run businesses . Amazing how stupid they consider one has to be to be conservative.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Hopefully, we "conservatives" can quickly dispose of Bachmann like we did Palin so we can move on to destroying the next GOP candidate. We need to keep it up so the 'RATS can lay back munching popcorn, cooling their heels and getting their boy a second term without having to spend too much of the union's money!

Michele, now is the time to get ahead of this by releasing your tax returns from 2004 onward. Throw it back in their face.

[PieterCasparzen]

Bachmann and Cain getting flak.

[svcw]

I think one of the best benefits to having Gov. Palin as a candidate is that the MSM has already reamed her, she wont have to go through the so called vetting process.

Just wish barry would have been vetted.

As for the farm, she said it belonged to her father-in-law. "It's not my husband and my farm," Bachmann said. "And my husband and I have never gotten a penny of money from the farm."

As the Los Angeles Times reported on Sunday, however, in financial disclosure forms, Bachmann reported receiving between $32,503 and $105,000 in income from the farm, at minimum, between 2006 and 2009.

Why the discrepancy? This is what bothers me about Bachmann - she apparently feels no obligation to address issues such as this, and would rather just pretend they don't exist.

She may have gotten assets from the farm through the Father in Law who was trying to give assets to his kids to avoid death tax later, but his choice to give it to her wasn’t her running a farm or having a connection to it beyond being related to the owner.

It would be like blaming Chris Matthews for his drug related relatives. Doesn’t look or sound good, but it hasn’t anything to do with him.

[School of Rational Thought]

It could be Mrs. Bachmann was referring to recently.

I do not take ANYTHING from the MSM at face value, however, IF this report is true, I say IF..... then there are only a couple of questions that matter.

Was Whathername-Rollins lying then, or is she lying now?

If she lied about this, then what else has she lied about?

One thing is certain, she is going to get roasted.

So, what say you Mr. Rollins?

Honesty is the best policy, Michele.

Im going to have to see if this report is accurate.

[fightinJAG]

Give me a break.

The point is that the federal government is so unflippinbelievable large and powerful that it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE TO AVOID benefiting from federal “aid” at some time or another.

[org.whodat]

You people need to keep up these attacks, and when Willard is the nominee, you can take credit for it.

[tioga]

a rabbit trail....

Smith, a fourth-generation farmer, drove the Cadillac around the district as a campaign prop demonstrating the largesse of the federal government's entitlement programs, which led to his election to the state senate, defeating a Republican incumbent. Smith was noted for his staunch fiscal conservatism, pushed for cost estimates on state bills, and voted against the state enrolling in Medicaid (the only member of the entire New York legislature to do so) because he believed the cost would be much more than estimated. At one point he had reached the position of deputy majority leader.

...as a young child this was my NY state senator.....back in the good old days. They don't make them like that anymore.
