In Chicago this weekend at an event hosted by the Chicago Tea Party Patriots and the Chicago Republican Party, Minnesota conservative partisan and lightning rod Congresswoman Michele Bachmann hit back at Bill Clinton for saying she had been reckless in calling the Obama administration and Congressional Democrats a “gangster government.” Predictably, Bachmann didn’t back off the rhetoric, she accelerated it and sprinkled it with conspiracy theories about the government’s campaign against Toyota and Obama’s takeover of private industry.

She also said Bush’s $700 billion TARP bailouts gave Barack Obama “walking around money” that he is using to purchase private industry in the United States.

“Clinton gave a speech yesterday at the Center for American Progress… He was talking about the anniversary– now only Democrats would do this– the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing with Timothy McVeigh I mean we don’t celebrate these things. You know, This is not what we (Republicans) celebrate. So he was at this celebration, supposedly, and so he brought me up and he said that all the extremist rhetoric of the 1990s led to Tim McVeigh. You see it had nothing to do with Tim McVeigh, it was just the conservatives. That what the problem was… He said that because I’m using terms like ‘gangster government’ I’m responsible for creating the climate of hate that could lead to another Tim McVeigh and another Oklahoma City bombing. How do you like them apples? So I decided, ‘Hey this could be fun. ‘”
She continues:
"... and so, anyway, I think this is a (inaudible sounds like lovely?) discussion and I think it's going to go on for a long time if I have anything to say about it and we're gonna keep it on because this is a ganster government there is no two ways about it ..."
More:
"You see to the Democrats, violence is what the American people want to topple them from positions of political power. That's what they call violence, because their goose is just about cooked. If only we could hold the election right now this afternoon, right now, President Obama would be out the door so fast it'd be a one way ticket he wouldn't make it over the border, there'd be border police, I'm telling you. (applause)"
"There are so many dissaffected Democrats, Independents, conservatives, Libertarians, your Consititution party. I mean we have got probably the most
united umbrella of agreement, that I remember. I .. I just turned 54 last week in my lifetime I have never seen this level of political agreement over this large swath of political group... the most diverse political group you can imagine, united under "We don't like what those people are selling." And they read from the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. This is a very cool crowd of people, we can, we can do business here with this group of people..."
