It will take a special person to withstand the head.

Indeed! The head is formidable!

As a rabid Palin supporter ( I was bitten by a squirrel) I love Bachmann and hope she kicks ass all over the place. You’re not going to find me putting down a feisty conservative who takes Jerkboy to task every chance she gets. She’s got guts. The migraine thing is a joke. It will cause millions of people to root for her. Are you telling me it’s a good strategy to tell millions of Americans: “You can never be president because you get headaches”???

I like your attitude. Too bad other FReepers can't focus their attention on taking jabs at Liberals, instead of taking jabs at Palin/Bachmann.

A while back, someone proposed that a crafty entrepreneur could make a fortune offering a unique service to celebrities, but completely disassociated with them. It would do two things.

1) It would put large and martially skilled individuals at public appearances, that would hover near suspected or suspicious potential troublemakers. Then, if the troublemaker tried some stunt, they would quickly neutralize the troublemaker, leaving them temporarily incapacitated, then depart the area before they could be detained.

2) In places where there is an anticipated paparazzi ambush waiting, have several reliable street thugs show up to do things like snatch cameras and take off running, or just smash them on the concrete, with no explanation. And if the thugs get arrested, they get a healthy bonus for their trouble.

Sounds like a re-play of the Rand Paul incident

I don’t remember it, did we? Does Palin even have bodyguards?

You mean some sunglasses wearing badass to keep reporters away? Yes she does.

“He’s there trying to do his job,” Schneider said of Ross.

If Brian "Obamabuttboy" Ross were really doing a reporter's job, then Bachmann's bodyguards wouldn't have had to do theirs.

If Ross doesn't learn his lesson from this training session, perhaps he can learn next time he tries what the guards view as an threatening move... after he regains consciousness.

I saw Palin last year at a book signing. There were two guys guarding her. One was an Ex-SpecOps guy who is a friend of my son. He wouldn't tell me who hired him but last I knew he was working for Xe. BTW if this guy is around and you lay a hand on the person he is watching over you have a very good chance of winding up in the hospital so fast you won't know what happened and depending on your attitude you could well wind up dead.

Yes, the Caller does, but this story about the migraines is getting legs.

I don’t like it for her sake. IF there is anything to it, (notice the IF,) she needs to follow the three Crisis Comm rules:

#1 Tell it all
#2 Tell it yourself
#3 Tell it today.

the forehead. I haven’t seen that guy for a long time, and it is nice not to have to hear him blather.

I guess I must have had a typo in my original post....my error rate is up a lot with the ipad autocorrect and touch keyboard. Gotta do more proofing.

Not because you need to see evidence, but because you so obviously aren’t aware of what us conservatives are up against.

The Daily Caller writes a sensational story about a poor reporter getting roughed up by bodyguard. But this line in the story caught my eye:

“Ross was finally able to break away and lob his question at Bachmann one more time, but she ignored him again.”

So was he really roughed up, or was he physically detained from his pursuit of Mrs. Bachmann until she was able to get a safe distance away from him?

I hear Cocaine is good for treating Migraines. Bachmann should ask Obama who he bought his Cocaine from.

A WaPo blog is suggesting that is the case. O’Reilly said tonight he is doing a story on the incident tomorrow night. It seems to be becoming a bigger deal than first thought.

Clear as mud. I am a conservative; what YOU are is willfully ignorant, lashing out against anyone who doesn't immediately agree with you as a "non-conservative." People like you are a huge harm to the conservative cause. Please, please, do not write letters to the editor, go to rallies, etc., with your mentality. You're bound to re-elect Obama -- and frankly I suspect that is what you want.

LOL! I suspected that you were an idiot from your original post. Obviously so have others.

Why you felt the need to confirm it is puzzling.

I would probably have just dropped the skunk in his tracks. Al qaeda uses ‘TV poseurs’ to assassinate folks don’tchaknow.

Anyone who would start with the name-calling (that I'm not a conservative) simply because I reserved judgment is the idiot. If you ever feel like calling me names to my face, just say the word. I have a feeling you won't be saying much.

In any case, it's always funny when idiotic non-conservatives throw around insults about others being stupid and non-conservative. Irony much?

When an obvious idiot calls me names, I take it as a compliment. The only thing I'm serious about is: Please, shut up in public. I realize you want to re-elect Obama with that fat, stupid mouth of yours, but please, don't hurt the chances of us ACTUAL conservatives. (It'd be like me jumping into a lefty forum, calling anyone who disagrees with me a "non-progressive.")

Finally, as to my original post, the guy who started the thread agreed with it. And for the record, because I doubt you can actually READ: I said I doubted Ross's and TIME's account, but wanted to see the video before I joined in your Hugo-Chavez-like "Beat The Press" drumbeat -- not because Ross necessarily is telling the truth, but because there's a chance he might be, even if I tend to believe he isn't. The difference between me, an intelligent conservative, and your ilk (neither intelligent nor conservative) is that you don't NEED evidence to reach your conclusions. Goodbye, snowflake, and please don't go out in public.

$100 wager here.

I'll give $100 to FR if you can prove I claimed you weren't a conservative.

$100 from YOU to FR when you realize YOU are just making it up, proving once again you're an idiot.
