Bachmann Demands NBC Apology Over Fallon Song; 'This Wouldn't Have Been Tolerated If It(was MO)
FOXNews ^ | November 23, 2011

Posted on 11/23/2011 9:13:50 AM PST by maggief

GOP candidate Michele Bachmann joined America’s Newsroom Wednesday morning and addressed the controversy surrounding her appearance on ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.’ When Bachmann was introduced on the show earlier this week, Fallon’s house band, the Roots, played Fishbone’s song ‘Lyin’ A** B****.’ Fallon has since apologized. While Bachmann said she accepts the comedian’s apology, she believes that NBC should apologize as well.

Bachmann said, “If that had been Michelle Obama, who’d come out on the stage, and if that song had been played for Michelle Obama, I have no doubt that NBC would have apologized to her and likely they would have fired the drummer, or at least suspended him.”

She shouldn’t have gone on such a garbage show in the first place. It’s like running through a muddy field and being angry that your shoes get dirty.

Actually, he had no idea the band was going to play that song. They concocted their plot amongst the band members, not with Fallon. Took him by surprise. Fallon apologized for what the band did.

Gee, I wonder if the National Organization of Women will soon be joining Michele Bachmann in demanding an apology?

Michele, I love you and all that jazz, but the person who should be fire is whoever arranged your appearance on that show in the first place.

These people hate you. All you're doing by demanding an apology is giving Jimmy Fallon more ammo to go after you with.

Forget these shows. Confine your campaign to series venues. You should be on a radio talk show every single day and you should be on one FOX News show or another every day.

I realize free advice is worth what you pay for it, but in this case, the advice is gold.

And you know what gold is going for these days.

So let us consider a Liberal Strategic Point and how it might be used.

0bama is pushing the Net Neutrality Act for the Internet.

Maybe we should consider sponsoring a “Global Neutrally Act” in Congress where the Media & Press must have this implemented, then University's, and then the Internet gets added later.

That way we can ensure that the Conservative side gets provided via the “Free Press” and then give the Socialists their prize of their “equality” in the Internet.

If the Fairness Doctrine/Neutrality is something the Left desires then assure it must be used on them first.

This wouldn't change the fact that Fallon and the Hollywood/TV fecal matter from the Left are A-hole’s who live to insult Conservatives, but at least it begins to hit the Left where the strength of their modern “PR” Machine lives.

But it wasn’t the first wookie. It’s a woman who wants to be president. She’s going to face worse than some stupid song played by a talk show band. Presidents don’t have the time or luxury to worry about silly little slights from the left. If she can’t ignore something like this (it’s so insignificant) then she doesn’t have the backbone to be a leader.

She should apologize to US for even being on that asshat’s show. She knows she’s hated by all the “comedian” nite talk show hosts. What the hell’s the matter with her?

I admire her greatly, but that was a poor choice being on his stupid and non-funny show. I can’t imagine how she reached that decision.

When you demand an apology... it's not sincere.
