Bill Clinton on Michelle Bachmann and her lunatic language

“Because of the Internet, there is this vast echo chamber and our advocacy reaches into corners that never would have been possible before,” said Mr. Clinton, who said political messages are now able to reach those who are both “serious and seriously disturbed.” He will be delivering the keynote address Friday at an event about the Oklahoma City attack being sponsored by the Center for American Progress Action Fund and the Democratic Leadership Council.

Mr. Clinton pointed to remarks like those made Thursday by Representative Michele Bachmann, the Minnesota Republican, who when speaking at a Tea Party rally in Washington characterized the Obama administration and Democratic Congress as “the gangster government.”

“They are not gangsters,” Mr. Clinton said. “They were elected. They are not doing anything they were not elected to do.”

The pitched attacks by some Republicans and conservatives during the health care fight have drawn criticism as incendiary as have the use of terms and imagery like the placing of target cross hairs over the districts of vulnerable Democrats who backed health care.

1. I just posted a link to a similar interview former President Clinton did on CNN

I know the man has his flaws as do all of us, and not everybody is a fan here, but I seriously admire his eloquence and still believe in his heart he really wanted to do what was best for this country, even though there were times I too disagreed with him.

Unlike Dumbya and the Pukes who only want to do what is best for themselves, and those of their ilk.

I thank the former President for commenting on the issue of the tea partiers with insight and style.

2. Watch them start calling him a Commie Socialist Traitor

They're about as rational as rabid animals in their attacks.

Bill can take it though. And be amused.
