Michele Bachmann Calls Piers Morgan ‘Rude’ to His Face

In a preview for an interview slated to air this Monday at 9:00 p.m. ET, CNN’s Piers Morgan slammed guest Michele Bachmann for being “judgmental.” The former GOP presidential candidate didn’t take the dig lying down, however, and blasted back by calling the media personality “rude.”
“Me?! Hardly! Hardly! Hardly!” Bachmann said in response to Morgan’s critique. “Well that’s rude! That’s absolutely rude!”
Morgan, who found Bachmann’s assertion incredible, defended himself: “I’m not being rude, but you’ve been very, very outspoken.”
“I believe in traditional values,” the Congresswoman argued. “I believe in marriage between a man and a woman and I don’t think that’s bigoted.”
After reading one of the Congresswoman’s quotes from 2004 in which she said that being gay “leads to the personal enslavement of individuals,” Morgan asked if the statement wasn’t “fairly judgmental.”
“I’m not here as anybody’s judge,” Bachmann insisted.

“liberalism is against the merger between the state and corporations = people power”
Way to try to teist things around! Maybe 200 years ago “liberalism” may have meant what you wrote. But, like most “liberals”, you and your ilk have twisted the meaning of a word to try to make it more palatable.
Report Post »These days, “liberalism” means those who expect the government and hard working people to support your Socialist a$$es. Liberalism is a mental disorder and you have it in spades.
Go back to your 8th grade Social Studies class. In fact, why don’t you come to mine? My 8th graders will school you on what “liberalism” is. They will smell your stinking Communist stench from miles away.

Posted on March 5, 2012 at 7:57pmApparently you are as clueless as your name appears. If you really knew what true socialism entailed versus what the Progressive Liberal Democrats indoctrinate you with, you wouldn’t be so quick to embrace it. I can tell you, the people were not in power EVER. Grow up, educate yourself, and quit talking the words from the people who feed you what to say. Break out and empower yourself – do your own homework. The left is just using you – You are the means to an end and nothing else. As soon as you become useless for them, they will eliminate you.

Posted on March 5, 2012 at 8:52pm@socialism.rocks Fascism is the strict rule and over bearing control of all industry, commerce, and buisness BY a dictator or totalitarian state. All regulation or governing is arbitrary and despotic in nature and action. On a side note, what we have now is not capitalism (anymore), but Corporatism or crony capitalism, wherein the Government intervenes in the free market, or highly regulates (albeit unconstitutionally) private industries with the intent to gain some benefit for the community or stabalize some situation affecting the public. This basically amounts to Keynesian economics, what we have now. Granted, both parties have followed almost the same economic policies in these past few years, being highly influenced by Keynesian prinpciples. Which is why the TEA party started, but that’s another discussion.
Fascism is not the merger of the State and Corporations. Fascism is the TAKING OVER of private buisnesses and making them part of the State, or a function of the State. Kind of like what Hitler did with the health and car industry during WW2., but that’s another discussion too.
FYI. Corporations ARE creations of the State e.g. legal entities.

First, your name is wrong, socialism will never “rock”; they will outlaw that and make you listen to lazy dance music with no meaning.
Second, you suck, pure and simple. You are a terrible “public relations” campaign for nobody who seems to think your opinion matters here.
Third, You have NO IDEA what Reagan stood for, calling him a Fasist is like calling Marx a captialist. Oh, did i offend you by saying Marx is a big fat cat capailist whose only goal in life was to write books, make money and live off the poor people of Germany and Europe? Yep, Marx was the biggest Hypocrite in the wolrd. a huge fake. And don’t get me started on Lenin and his syphilis ways (eek!)..

Posted on March 5, 2012 at 11:58pmOne thing everyone should understand. The media is stirring up all the friken problems. It was the media that reported that Achmedinijaad said: “We will wipe Isreal off the face of the map” He never said that! Why don’t we be real here. I am not an advocate of Irans political system and do not have a love affair with Achmedinijaad, however, I am not the kind of person to go around repeating lies about anyone, no matter how bad they seem to be. He was saying the the Isreal Empire, or government, needs to be ended. That is typical of these nations over there to throw talk like that back and forth, and that is what it is, talk. Everyone is so afraid of Iran, when we could annihilate their country in one day!! Give me a break.
I am so tired of all you people that buy into the war rhetoric that we must deliver a blow to them, before they can deiver a blow to us. That is the opposite of what Christ’s message was to us. If it is opposite to Christ, it is Anti-Christ. Wake up people.
Ron Paul 2012!

Posted on March 6, 2012 at 4:32pmHi Jenny! I’m new here but wanted to mention my learning experience from one of these shows…about 4 years ago, I was a CNN watcher. I never turned on Fox, as all I heard was “Faux News lies” et al. Well, I have to say, after watching Anderson Cooper blather on and on and on and on about leftie nonsense with his Progressive guest and then talk down to his Conservative guest, I had had it. I couldn’t understand why a host would not let the right side speak without dwindling their comments. It was close to election time and I really wanted to learn about candidates from BOTH sides of the aisle, not just the left. That was the moment I changed channels, watched Fox News and actually enjoyed hearing guests from both sides WITHOUT having the host demean the Conservatives and I liked what they had to say! So, even though the guests should know better when they go on “those” shows, once in a blue moon, it can have an enlightening effect on someone watching. It did for me!
