Tantamount to playing the race card, about which you complain every day.

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

Please.

I am certainly not a fan of Bachmanns. Her picture makes her look crazy, mad, intimidating enough to be able to shake finger at somebody to staighten them out. Maybe she is nuts enough to be abe to do what all the people who worshiped Obama and several other male and supposedly sane presidents and now hate them thought those presidents, were going to do -- straighten out the country instead getting the country into progressively more trouble until now it's debatable whether it can be staightened out.

Does anyone?

NOW has been pretty selective about the women they support. As far as I'm concerned, they are fundamentally unprincipled, they have no idea what a female leader actually is, or that a female is capable of leading a nation. And don't give me any of their propaganda BS because action speak louder than words.

In the case of Bachmann, it sure did take a long time to get NOW to object to overt and obvious sexism. Maybe NOW should be called "EVENTUALLY".

You know its bad when even the most liberal of leftist media is criticizing Newsweek for their misogyny and yellow journalism-

Michele Bachmann Newsweek cover: Is it sexist?


Look who rose up from the grave- The dead-and-buried school of female liberation N.O.W. has finally spoken up in defense of conservative feminists like Palin and Bachmann-


The National Organization for Women defends Bachmann against Newsweek


Ever notice how "tolerant, open-minded" female liberals like Tina Brown are usually the first to practice misogyny against their own gender? Naomi Wolf has words for those-


Ignore the appeal of right-wing feminism at your own peril
The second reason that Bachmann and Palin appeal to so many Americans has to do with a serious historical misreading of feminism. Because feminism in the 1960s and 1970s was articulated via the institutions of the left – in the UK, it was often allied with the labor movement, and in the US, it was reborn in conjunction with the emergence of the New Left – there is an assumption that feminism itself must be leftist. In fact, feminism is philosophically just as much in harmony with conservative, and especially libertarian, values – and in some ways even more so.

So this is supposed to depict Michelle Bachmann as a nut.job aye? Ooooook then. Sorry folks...you should have seen my 6th grade home room teacher. THAT was scary! Lmao while this pic may not have her at the best angle or whatever, Michelle Bachmann is still not an unattractive lady. The Dems don't have anyone even close in physical quality as Either Bachmann or Palin.....and that drives them bugs***. Kinda funny actually.

This OP started a thread a couple of months back about Sarah Palin being "toast" because her e-mails would be public. Needless to say, it didn't get the results he hoped for/expected. This latest thread is just more of the same...

Actually, no. Looks have nothing to do w/anything, it's about their political platform & views. Who cares if someone is attractive or not? It must care to conservatives though because they never fail to get a dig in regarding Michelle Obama or Pelosi's looks.

Yeah, you should have seen some of the driver's licenses/passport photos I had to look at when I did notary work! They define scary.
