Liberals just don't seem to get it.

You can't just make stuff up.
Conservatives make up lies all the time as well. Pretty much everything about ObamaCare except the tax increases is absolutely false.

Good thing Minnesota was too intelligent to fall for the so-called "intelligent design" hokum.

Really? Or did the bill just not receive mutual support amongst other politicians?

Don't believe the people ever had the chance to vote.

Surely we are not going to discredit her based on where she might have been born are we? LOL
Does she have a birth certificate to prove it?

Yeah, for all we know she could be a Kenyan immigrant.

If the people of Minnesota didn't organize a ballot measure to vote on it, then it must not have been that important to them.

Funny you should mention that, because I just read this fascinating interview with the editor of Politifact, who currently lists 13 Bachmann claims on their homepage - six false, seven "ridiculously false".

Interview/news story:

Bachmann approaches Iowa with trail of misstatements | Minnesota Public Radio News

Politifacts file on Bachmann:

PolitiFact | Michele Bachmann's file

Incidentally, Politifact isn't somebody's hobby website - they've got a bloody Pulitzer.

The Pulitzer ain't what it was.
