Michele Bachmann is frequently ridiculed by MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, but she wants him to know that she is unafraid of his criticism: "I'm certainly not going to fear the likes of Keith Olbermann."

In an appearance at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, Bachmann proclaimed her disdain for MSNBC and continued her recent gushing about Fox News:

Quite honestly, I don't even know anything about MSNBC. It's not a network that I watch and most of the American people agree with that assessment. They aren't watching it either. And that's why Fox's ratings - I mean it's like CNN, CNBC, MSNBC combined. I think Fox even exceeded one of the major networks last week. They're on the ascendency.

1. Nobody really needs to fear Keith Olbermann.
But you should fear the seven-figure number of people who regularly watch KO, Michelle, because some of them can vote you out of office.

Fox isn't really in ascendancy, either. They need Glenn Beck to make a statement on FNC now.

9. She needs to fear the "dislikes" of Olbermann
But I can understand that she doesn't fear anything but actual facts.

It is a classic stupid person thing. They rarely realize how much of an idiot they are, or they'd shut up, and stop removing all doubt. I can't imagine what she went through, and how she was raised, to be so completely unhinged. What is more, I just can't understand why a group of people in MN keep reelecting her. Aren't there any candidates with a lick of sense, that don't just make up a bunch of absurd stuff?

5. "most of the American people agree with that assessment" Oops, WRONG AGAIN!
But in michele's alternate world, only 3 cable networks exist.

The fact that broadcast news stations trounce Fox News into the ground isn't allowed into michele's little head.

But then, she has them "death panels" to worry about. :rofl:

7. These nuts live in a bubble, don't they?
Looking inward, only at themselves and their fellow millionaires and billionaires.

That she even named Olbermann in this speech indicates she's worried.

Reality can be a very cruel judge, Michele....

8. That's why the republicans are the minority party & way on the downslide, stupid fucks like Bachmann
Edited on Wed Oct-07-09 12:01 PM by LaPera
Only morons who know absolutely nothing about anything think Fox (certainly not news) is a creditable news source....these clowns watch like zombies and enjoy the hours of propaganda & entertainment being fed into their non thinking pea-sized brains. It's why Fox news watchers are ALWAYS the most uninformed and so completely out-of-touch people on the planet and a big reason, again, why the republicans are down-sliding FAST!

13. Why do these people insist their superior (to other cable) ratings make them credible?
If that were the case, I would get my news from The World Wrestling Federation.

14. The real focus should be what influence does right wing media now have, not a lot in 2008....
Edited on Wed Oct-07-09 12:20 PM by GivePeaceAchance
Of course folks will tune into car crash TV. Folks shouldn't look but a person can't help but watch.

18. You know that is often true
mostly old people watch Fox - that and right wingers need to constantly have their fake world view propped up otherwise they might realize that fox, rush, beck are all rich fucks who are paid to lie to them.

20. But she does fear the little men she sees in her oatmeal every morning
who tell her that they are the real americans and that she must do
their bidding or they will drown her in quaker oats.
