With a penchant for tough talk and polarizing positions, Republican presidential contender Michele Bachmann is a magnet for controversy — and there's a trail of police reports to prove it.

She and her staff over the years have requested police protection or investigations when her house was egged; when protesters threw glitter on her or held up critical signs; when her campaign yard signs were stolen; when a man wrote an email perceived as a threat; and when she screamed that two women were holding her hostage "against my will" in a city hall restroom.

They make it sound like its her fault for being the target of union thugs.

I have no problem with any of this. (That is, requesting police action on vandals, thieves, and abusive/threatening actions.)

This is all they got? Sounds like Palin redux. Good thing they didn’t announce the thousands of hours they spent going over police records with a fine toothed comb like they did with Sara’s emails.

Looks to me like she had good reason to call the police. The article should read, “threats and harassment dog Michelle Bachmann”

Bachmann’s threatened and it portrayed in the header as she deserved it?

All the bad info dug up by the “free” press on Obastard amounted to a lot of stuff but America didn’t buy it and elected him anyway.

Shows you pay a price for being a conservative. So much easier to be a lazy liberal.

I remember thinking after the Rev. Wright videos that he didn’t have a chance. Boy, was I wrong.

Yes I love the way that somehow you are a wrongdoer if you are under attack by the progressive thugs and you call for help. It never ends.

Are you kidding me? When did Freeper Palin supporters who've gone over the edge become reporters for the Sun Sentinel?

You are no different than Pissant...same type of obsession.

Wardaddy and Mrs pay large to see Sarah at private event in Nashville..what did you do for Sarah besides be a jackass on Free Republic?< a>

That's because she CAN'T. She's a back-bencher Congresswoman who hasn't sponsored any significant legislation or chaired a committe. Nor has she won a state-wide election. She has about as much of a chance of being nominated as my dirty socks.

Controversy

Controversy?

Controversial to whom?
The media?

OK. Now I get it...
Smear with made-up headlines.
