Bachmann repeated what a person told her after the debate. How much worse is it to accuse one of lying when the accusation is a lie. See it appears that it is King Perry's privilege to have his vaccine supporters make claims without evidence, but oh my Bachmann repeats what someone told her and luddites accuse her of lying.
Personally, IF any parent chooses to have this vaccine injected into their daughter I will NOT oppose. BUT DO NOT expect me to accept unfunded mandates.
That is no excuse.
If a woman had told Bachmann that Gardisil caused her daughter to spontaneously explode, would you have excused her for repeating the claim? Repeating lies and misinformation does not absolve you of responsibility simply because you're repeating something you heard.
I'll grant you that Bachmann may very well be just extremely ignorant, but that doesn't give you absolution to run around and repeat every asinine claim that you hear.
Bachmann should be ashamed of herself.
By the way, I don’t think you know what the term ‘luddite’ means. You should look it up.
