Good grief, we knew the leftists media would go after her once she found her footing in the campaign, but I don’t know if we ever expected it to come in this fast and furious. ABC News’ George Stephanopoulo unloaded both barrels and unleashed a scathing, ugly barrage of gotcha style questions upon Michele Bachmann.
Watch the interview below.

These people have no shame. They will use any tool they can find to bash you and beat you.
And they will do it all while lecturing us on our intolerance, our hate, and our hypocrisy.
Every time they start this, they need to be reminded that Obama got a pass on every aspect of his past.
23 foster kids?????? Holly cow
This is exactly why Perry, Christie and Palin — if they are going to run — have no reason to come out this early. The will be eviscerated. Better to let the other “front runners” take the beating.
On the other hand, once any issues are flushed out in 2011 (such as foster kids), they will be old news by the time 2012 really kicks into gear.
This may well spell their undoing. With a candidate who is not a RINO, the media may well have to defend their total lack of interest in the criminal and traitorous associations of one Barack Husein Obama (aka/Soerto, et. al.)
Can you say ask a wise Foster Mother or is that reserved for Wise Ass Latinas?
It should not come as a surprise to anyone.
One of these people (Bachmann, Palin) is going to run AGAINST the media. It will be wildly successful. The mainstream media is absolutely clueless as to how deeply they are loathed and detested out here.
My best friend had foster kids (he wound up adopting). The hoops that he and his wife needed to jump through were innumerable. Every "i" was perfectly dotted, and every "t" was perfectly crossed.
Case in point, he needed to have his house inspected. The bureaucrat idiot doing the inspection dinged him (one "ding" is enough to scrap the whole deal) for not having bedroom windows that opened up 20 inches. They only opened 19.5.
That's not the funny part. They windows were on the back side of the house, and opened up to a 30-ish foot drop, to a concrete driveway, and no fire-ladder was required. My friend said to the inspector "So.....it's bad to have windows that don't open wide enough, but it's OK for the kids to fall to their death when they get out?"
Yup. Bureaucrats have no sense of humor.
Buddy put a fire ladder in (he would have anyway) and got the local volunteer fire chief to write him a letter stating that his windows were sufficient for fire safety. Problem solved.
My point is that Bachmann and her husband, I'd bet, are pretty bulletproof on this matter.
Did anyone honestly expect anything different?
The MSM is sick in the collective head. They are evil.
Stephie is not even a reporter. He is and always has been a hack political operative. The RAT WH-major media post revolving door is despicable.
Let the investigations begin on Zer0 and his merry band of gay blades.
Someone out there has access to Zer0's stuff, so find out who it is, and what it takes to shake it lose.
Start looking into Chris's, George's, Matt's, et al backgrounds...I bet that every one of them have something in their past that they thought was forgotten. ...
...show the left that war is indeed hell....
well... honestly she did a poor job of answering some of those questions.
And ironicly her original answers that she was getting asked about were RIGHT! She just didn’t do a very good job of explaining why they were right.
For instance Stef brought up her statement that the founding fathers fought to end slavery. Which is exactly right, MANY of the founding father did try to end slavery with the creation of the country but couldn’t and still get the southern states to agree, so in a compromise was reached which allowed the southern states to enter the union as slaves states.
Somebody on “The View”, Joy Behar, I believe, said that Bachmann doesn’t like children. Based on her voting record in Congress and other alleged stands on issues which hurt children (cutting education spending, perhaps?) Joy felt that Bachmann was clueless about kids and didn’t like kids.
But how do you square that with her and her husband raising 23 foster kids? How many foster kids has Joy Behar or Whoopi ever raised? I’m sure that millionaires such as Joy or Whoopi have given money to causes, but, have they ever done hands-on work such as raising foster kids??????
When reporters get ugly with stuff with this, the PERFECT COUNTER is to discredit them by going after THEIR personal backgrounds and splashing their names and their family matters all over the place.
See how they like low level tactics.
And if any of these foster kids have been in trouble as adults, or were in trouble at the time Bachmann had them in her home, the MSM will trumpet those headlines.
She will be said to be unfit to be president if there have ever been any problems with her foster kids.
I think that raising foster children is a selfless act which is to be commended. I wonder how the Hollywood idiot comedians and leftist talking heads will twist her efforts around to make her look bad? Don’t liberals like it when someone takes initiative to do something about a glaring social problem such as foster children, and participate to try to do something about said problem?????
Maybe the lame media will now go after obama gay lovers, larry sinclair, donald young [doa],reg love etc.
Michelle Bachmann is strong in her Christian faith. She and her husband were living their faith, in part, by taking in the foster children.
Liberals sometimes accuse people of faith of hypocrisy and not living their faith. Here we see someone who has lived her faith. How can liberals in good conscience start attacking her for her work with foster children???????
They will turn their big guns on her now—her family, her friends, Bachmann is the new Palin. They managed to turn a wise and God fearing Sarah Palin into a dumb, hick, with just naked ambition and cowboy instincts. They will try to do this to Bachmann too. What happened on Fox News the other day was striking-—they must get rid of her and the Tea Party. We must work HARDER to make sure they don’t get away with it this time! No more RINOS! If they persist—NO MORE GOP!
