Bachmann: No racial tensions in tea party protests

By Andy Birkey 4/1/10 8:20 AM In a wide-ranging interview with CNS News, a conservative outlet run by prominent Republican campaign staff, Rep. Michele Bachmann reiterated her belief that no tea party protesters were responsible for spitting or racial and homophobic slurs during the weekend of the health care reform vote in the U.S. House. She again said Democrats and the media have manufactured those reports. Earlier, she made similar claims on the Steve Hennen radio show and at a tea party event in Duluth.

“The media tends to portray the people who are in the tea party movement as toothless hillbillies, as rubes from the backwater who don’t know what they’re talking about,” Bachmann said. “I didn’t see any indication of racial tensions. I didn’t see any indication of being personal, against personal members of Congress. What I saw were people that were fighting for their constitutional liberties and fighting for our country. And I think it’s a tremendous affront trying to castigate people who are fighting for our country as somehow being racially motivated. I didn’t see that at all.”

1. Not surprising since she lives in her own world.

2. There are no racial tensions because it's all white people all sharing the same

racist feelings toward black people.

3. "Fighting for our country"? She continues to feed the delusions

she helped create, that the President is an existential threat to America. (I must have been napping when he suspended the Constitution and declared martial law.)
