Bachmann: ‘MoveOn.org people’ are not ‘real people.’
While yesterday’s tea party rally outside the Capitol drew an anemic crowd of about only 300, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) urged supporters to keep up the fight against health care reform for the rest of the week. Bachmann warned that Democrats will bring in “MoveOn.org people” “to really beat the living tar out them” — presumably referring to lawmakers who are not sure how they’ll vote — and called on “real people” to “keep flooding here”:
BACHMANN: And so what they plan to do is keep everybody here and beat the living snot out of them through Saturday and then try to get the vote on Saturday. That’s their goal. So, the main thing is the more people that can just keep flooding here between now and Saturday to keep the pressure up. Because my guess is they’ll probably be bringing in a lot of MoveOn.org people on Saturday to really beat the living tar out of them. That’s my guess. So the more we get real people here, the better.
Bachmann’s “real people” comment is reminiscent of Fox News contributor Sarah Palin’s claim that “small towns” represent “the real America” where people are “pro-America.”
Bachmann Accuses The Media Of ‘Treason,’ Claims Use Of ‘Deem And Pass’ Warrants ‘Impeachment’ »
On Sean Hannity’s radio show yesterday, Bachmann went even further by accusing the media of “treason” for “not telling this story” that Speaker Nancy Pelosi “would even consider having us pass a bill that no one votes on.” Bachmann then suggested that if health care passed through “deem and pass,” it would warrant calls of impeachment:
BACHMANN: Well, yeah, and the other thing is treason media. Where is the mainstream media in all of this not telling this story? This is a compelling story.
HANNITY: Right.
BACHMANN: That the Speaker of the House would even consider having us pass a bill that no one votes on.
HANNITY: Yep.
BACHMANN: That should laugh her out of the House and there should be people that are calling for impeachment off of something like this. That’s how bad this is. I mean trust me, Dennis Hastert never could have gotten away with this.

Santorum: Democrats are Worried Obama May Go to Indonesia and Bow to More Muslims
Santorum: I think the Democrats actually worry he may go to Indonesia and bow to more Muslims. I think that's sort of the concern that every time he seems to go to these other countries he comes back or starts some sort of controversy that hits his popularity. I'm serious, I think...
Van Susteren: So you're not being sarcastic?
Santorum: I'm not being sarcastic. I think... I'm not... I'm being sarcastic with bowing to a Muslim, but I'm saying he has not had his trips overseas go over well here in the United States. I mean the apology tour and some of the other things... what went on in Israel this past week with the Vice President. It's not working out well for them
