GMA gives Bachmann chance to clear up some

[ugonow]

reality challanged statements of hers---www.washingtonmonthly.com/political-animal/2011_06/bachmanns_unique_understanding030554.php As Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann takes on a higher profile role, I suppose it’s only natural that the media would take a closer look at the frequency with which she says ridiculous things. Take her appearance today on “Good Morning America,” for example.

Host George Stephanopoulos began by noting, “In your announcement you said ‘my voice is part of a movement to take back our country.’ From whom?” Bachmann replied, “Well, from the people all across the nation.”

Maybe she didn’t understand the question.

Stephanopoulos went on to note that Politifact has found that Bachmann has “the worst record of making false statements of any of the leading contenders,” and he wanted to give her a chance to “clear up” some of the misstatements. He mentioned, for example, the right-wing lawmaker’s claim that the Founding Fathers “worked tirelessly to end slavery.” Stephanopoulos explained, “That’s just not true.”.........................

oh, but George Stephanopoulos worked in the Clinton Administration, so he's obviously got a spin to making her look bad.

No spin is required to make her look bad. She's doing just fine on her own.

I see that, you see that, but her supporters can't....because they think the crap she says is true. I saw someone say in another thread - please let her win the primary.
