How can I prove something hasn't happened you need to prove it has.
P.S. You need to stop taking everything so personal.

I don't think that's strictly a "liberals" thing I mean the media... digging up whatever dirt they can find, checking into each and every detail, knocking themselves out in the process... liberals don't own the patent on that, conservatives do their fair share.

Questioning Michele Bachmann's Foster Parent Claims By Jeannie DeAngelis June 22, 2011
In order to understand liberalism, all one needs to do is take note of what the left applauds versus what they attack. Case in point: Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann -- wife, mother to five biological children, and foster mother to 23 teenagers -- has now become the focal point of left-wing attacks as they prepare to diminish her stature by attacking her family.
Michele gave a stellar performance at the Republican debate. It was in that forum that she announced her decision to "seek the office of the presidency of the United States of America." The only woman on the platform, Michele voiced strong convictions, attacked government regulation, called the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform bill "over-the-top," and promised if elected to repeal ObamaCare. Michele praised the Tea Party and described it as a "wide swath of America coming together...to take the country back."
Yet, despite articulating strong opinions on varied subjects, Michele's gutsy and possibly prophetic proclamation that Barack Obama is a "one-term" president wasn't nearly as courageous as a pro-life statement she made with unabashed personal conviction and commitment to truth.
What could be worse for pro-choice America than a woman with a brood of children, smiling and firmly proclaiming without obfuscation, wavering, or uncertainty the following belief: "I am 100 percent pro-life. I've given birth to five babies, and I've taken 23 foster children into my home. I believe in the dignity of life from conception until natural death. I believe in the sanctity of human life."
Michele Bachmann bore five biological children and didn't stop there -- she and husband Marcus welcomed into their home the at-risk offspring of other mothers who also chose to grant their babies the gift of life. Not only that, but the Minnesota congresswoman also shared her commitment to the "dignity of life from conception until natural death," which is a view that -- especially on the cusp of ObamaCare, the costs of which are sure to run over budget -- is not only ill-timed, but most assuredly unappreciated.
Moreover, Bachmann openly proclaimed as "sacred" and "holy" something which, after almost 40 years of unrelenting indoctrination, many Americans have now come to accept as a clump of cells -- another statement sure to be considered unconscionable in pro-choice circles.
Michele placed a target squarely on her own back when she dared to tie the right to life to the Declaration of Independence, demoted government from bestowing "inalienable" rights, mentioned the Creator, and emphatically declared "only God can give [life] and only God" should take it away.
In conclusion, Mrs. Bachmann even managed to inject sanity into the conversation when she noted that 2% of rape/incest abortions "get all the attention" while 98% of convenience-based abortion is "where the real battle" lies in the fight against the unfettered slaughter of the unborn.
As it turned out, the Republican debate provided a public forum for a conservative woman to school enlightened society on what many believe to be the reproductive attitudes of a troglodyte. If Mrs. Bachmann continues to voice such extreme opinions, she will fast become as distasteful to liberals as Sarah Palin, the pro-life mother of a Down syndrome son, whose presence and principles -- especially when toting around what the world deems less-than-perfect offspring -- have made her an object of unrelenting mockery.
For years, Palin has struggled against cruel rumors that Trig, her special needs baby, isn't her and husband Todd's son, but rather daughter Bristol's.
Taking a page from the Demean the Maternal Claims of Pro-Life Women playbook, Michele Bachmann's motherliness is also now being called into question by those who wish to undermine her foster parenting claim, saying, "She makes it sound like she got them at birth and raised them to adulthood, but that's not true."
Following the debate at the Republican Leadership Conference, a CBS News reporter broached the foster parent subject with Michele in what appeared to be an effort to coax the Minnesota congresswoman, who claims she "raised" 23 foster children, into admitting she hosted most of the kids for a limited amount of time.
Those who accept "the right to privacy" as the right to destroy innocent life suddenly have become sticklers on the proper definition of the word "raised."
Although Michele Bachmann has never once implied that she cared for 23 children simultaneously, with grace and poise the congresswoman responded to the inquiry in the following way:
Well in the situation we were in we took children as teenagers. Their family was facing a challenge and they weren't gonna be able to be at home with their parents and we took them in as teenagers and our job was to see that they graduated from high school and were successfully launched into the world.
Challenged further for precise time frames, Michele, who said she considered having each and every child in her home a "privilege," calmly expanded her clarification:
It really varied depending on the children and we've never got into specifics about the children because we always wanted to observe their privacy and that of their families, as I'm sure you can appreciate.
It seems that when pro-life women promote motherhood, those who defend abortion as a "privacy" issue feel more than justified in prying into their personal lives if doing so provides a solid platform upon which to falsely portray a female conservative Christian politician as a fraud.
It's almost certain that Michele Bachmann's parenting experience wouldn't be a topic of discussion if instead of "raising" unwanted children, she shared the opinion that women "facing challenges" would be better off exercising their right to choose in an abortion clinic.
And so, the debate over whether Michele Bachmann raised or did not raise foster children proves once again that liberalism exposes its dark underbelly not so much by what it applauds as by what and whom it attempts to tear down.

We are discussing the Liberal Media going after Michele Bachmann and you have not seen anything yet...they want to not only discredit her but destroy her and spend whatever it takes to do so.. It seems that when pro-life women promote motherhood, those who defend abortion as a "privacy" issue feel more than justified in prying into their personal lives if doing so provides a solid platform upon which to falsely portray a female conservative Christian politician as a fraud.

Once upon a time the thread was about voting some guy for president based on 5 snippets from his life... I get it, liberal media bad. All I'm saying is the media on either side has dirty hands from all the dirt digging. Carry on

So, P.I., perhaps I was seeing things, but in another recent thread, did you not make a snarky comment about how we're seeing a lot of the Huffington Post being quoted around here? If absolutely necessary, I'll find the exact quote, but I think in your heart of hearts, you know to which post I am referring.
With that easily proven fact being irrefutable, how then, with a clean conscience, can you post an article from the American Thinker, which easily matches the Huff. Post in terms of partisan bias?
All of your posts seem to endorse a double standard whereby when the liberal media does what the conservative media does, it becomes evil ... but ONLY when the liberal media does it.
Personally, there is enough current information on Bachmann to ensure I will never vote for her, ergo, I couldn't care less about her foster children.
For the record, Obama has gone through the same bash-fest by the conservatives when he ran for president, so suggesting that the liberals shouldn't do the same to conservative candidates seems rather ... unfair? It's sort of like being in a war and getting angry at your enemy for actually arriving at the battle with weapons. How dare they!

The comments on the gatewaypundit link PI posted are actually disturbing here are a few:
"I just simply despise anyone that is LEFT now!
I see zero reason to ever try and reason with these moronic humans…..I had a old friend reach out on facebook the other day,
In the conversation she said she was a liberal,proud of it? I typed back…Good Luck with that and dont contact me again…
I am 100% done with them all!
So far Bachmann is the one with Conservative Credentials, we will see who else jumps in… Go Michele, kick their assssssssssssssssssss over this!"
OH yeah this one nice:
"I’ve heard lots of calls, on this site and others, for more security to prevent these people from getting close enough to do such an assault on Republicans. This kind of stuff happened quite regularly the past 20 years at college campuses and other venues whenever a Republican went there to make a speech. Usually the weapon of choice was a pie but sometimes was a fist. Nothing happened to the attacker who was escorted out and usually started making their rounds on the Leftist talk shows the very next day.
It continued until unafraid Republican MEN took it upon themselves to attend such events (coordinated or otherwise) and serve as a protective detail around the guest speaker. Keeping watch, they quickly stepped between the attacker and the speaker and, quite often, simply flattened the attacker with a fist to the face, or tackled the attacker and wrestled them to the ground. THIS is what is needed for Republican Candidates at all levels of office whether local, State, or National.
Time to step up, gentlemen! You are not lefty girlymen. You know what you have to do."

Hey Sirina...don't have much time the Red Sox vs Phillies starts in @ 3 minutes on ESPN and I need to get a front row seat.
I am a big fan of American Thinker and NOT a big fan or the Huffington Post...if that is a problem for you then not sure what I can say ..I also don't support Michele Bachmann but have sympathy for her, her family and her foster kids who are going to be torn to pieces by the so called liberal elites, the Liberal Media with Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz of MSNBC knocking themselves out to destroy this congresswoman and then leave the liberal media pundits on CNNC to pick over her when they are done... hope this answers you concerns
But I do read a real progressive/liberal rag each and every day (San Francisco Chronicle) and one of my favorite liberal journalists is Willy Brown former mayor of San Francisco...
And with that being said enjoy your time here tonight posting and I will catch you later down the road...time for some baseball.
Take Care, P.I. (Very Old Reagan Democrat)
