In an interview on Thursday, soon-to-be-gone-forever-we-hope Rep. Michele Bachmann Tea Party “news” publication?WorldNetDaily?that even though she’s leaving?Congress, she is proud of her work opposing Obamacare, the Dodd-Frank financial industry reform, the 2009 stimulus, auto industry bailouts, and TARP. Don’t get it twisted — all of these measured passed, but Bachmann still is proud of herself and feels that she defeated liberals over and over.
From Right Wing Watch:
Bachmann said she uses ?evidence-based arguments? against liberals who are only able to ?argue from emotionalism, they don’t argue from a logical, linear point of view, and I take them on at their false premises.?
?That’s the best way to defeat them, by the way. Defeat them with evidence and defeat them with their false premises and I did that,? she said, adding that she was able do this despite the ?constant criticism? she received.
The Associated Press, whose chief fact checker said his job required a ?self-imposed Michele Bachmann quota? because she made so many false claims, and Politifact, which found that Bachmann had by far worst record of any 2012 presidential candidate when it comes to making accurate statements, must have missed Bachmann’s many ?evidence-based? arguments.
This story made my day. Really. Below is an image of me that a graphic designer friend made for me. He photoshopped Michele’s eyes over mine. Compare the two. Who looks crazier?
Oh, Michele, we will miss you! Truly.
