Thinking that Bachmann looks like a crazy ass banshee isn't a slam on women in general.

Please.

Come on guys, unless I hear that Newsweek somehow altered the pic...


...then it is pure 100% Bachmann. It's no one else's fault she looks so crazy.

Huh? First of all, earlier I mentioned that I'm not going to stoop to the level of making fun of someone's looks which in my opinion has NADA to do w/their political views. Secondly, you said it must drive liberals crazy that there are no women who look like Palin or Bachmann, hence why liberals are making fun of Bachmann or Palin's looks. I assume it must drive conservatives nuts for the very same reason as they get a dig in about Obama or Pelosi every chance they get. Do you see now? Conservatives do it to liberals just as much if that's what you want to hear & I don't agree w/it. So please do not even attempt to say it's all about the liberals poking fun at conservatives looks.

Here is some more about how NOW feels and why. They don't like Bachmann on about every issue but they do consider this to be another case of using sexism as was used on Sarah Palin.

Somebody tell Savoir that I put this link on his thread. He has me on ignore.

NOW joins chorus criticizing Newsweek's Bachmann cover as candidate brushes it off - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

Talking Bachman on Newsweek cover, very scary looking

Bachman is actually MUCH more amusing than Palin ever was.

Palin was pitiful because she was so far over her head on any subject. But that never stopped her from making silly statements that we could all smile about.

With Bachman, we're seeing a true believer. She doesn't just say things to appeal to an audience. She genuinely believes the crazy things she says. She really thinks god told her to be president so she could slay the infidels.

Was it god or her husband? They're pretty much the same thing to Bachmann, the SEXIST twit.

I did.not say "liberals".....I said Democrats. Unless you think that that is a redundancy. Further ...my brand of humor might not appeal to you...oh well. And you were the one pointing fingers at "conservatives" as being hung up on looks and digging at nasty zNancy and Mrs.O at every turn....and moving right along, whether someones looks matter az to their political and leadership skills concerns me not. That was your bit. Fact is attractive AND capable conservative women drive Democratic liberals like Pelosi and Hillary bat****.
Which I find amusing. You need not agree with my take on things.....ain't asking you to.
And.no....I don't see your point....cus there ain't one boils any beans on my fire. Cheerio.....
