Bat Shit Crazy: U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann

Y'know, we expect asshole right wing pundits to make up ridiculous shit to scare the gutless rightwing fraidy cats. False boogeymen like ACORN. C'mon, it's an organization trying to help poor people. Here's their mission statement:

Mission Statement

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) aims to organize a majority consituency of low- to moderate-income people across the United States. The members of ACORN take on issues of relevance to their communities, whether those issues are discrimination, affordable housing, a quality education, or better public services. ACORN believes that low- to moderate-income people are the best advocates for their communities, and so ACORN's low- to moderate-income members act as leaders, spokespeople, and decision-makers within the organization.

Oooooo. Scary! An organization that seeks to empower poor people by aiding them in exerting their Constitutional right to take part in their government by organizing and representing themselves. The only reason I can see to be scared of ACORN is if you're an ultra-wealthy paranoic and you believe ACORN is going to raise a revolt against you and leave you begging on a corner or even working at a real job. Oh wait, there is one other reason you might be afraid of ACORN, if you're a brain dead moron that believes what comes out of the mouths of right wing pundits (i.e. lies and fabrications). Case in point (from here with video):

Washington Times: In an interview Wednesday morning with The Washington Times "America's Morning News," Mrs. Bachmann, Minnesota Republican, said the questions have become "very intricate, very personal" and she also fears ACORN, the community organizing group that came under fire for its voter registration efforts last year, will be part of the Census Bureau's door-to-door information collection efforts.

"I know for my family the only question we will be answering is how many people are in our home," she said. "We won't be answering any information beyond that, because the Constitution doesn't require any information beyond that."

Washington Times: Minn. lawmaker vows not to complete Census

This woman is just out of her ever lovin' mind. Is she afraid some poor person is going to find out she's rich? She is just a repulsive piece of work. I have so much sympathy for the person that comes to her door with a census form. I'll bet she's as pissy and mean as a hungry female bobcat with a brood to feed when it comes to insulting those "below" her. Do a Google search on Rep. Bachmann and read and watch her for a little while. I think you'll agree, she's

BAT SHIT CRAZY!!!
