Bachmann Speech From Friday Night
Here’s Congresswoman Bachmann’s speech from Friday night.
HT True North
I’m in the midst of finding out if Brodkorb is going to be able to flex his muscle and have me removed from the party. He’s trying to get the CD6 Chair to get rid of me. And after his unprofessional behavior Friday before this speech, I am not sure it is worth even trying to help the party now. But then again, according to Brodkorb, I am only harming the party, well that’s what he tells people.
Stay tuned to see if I get called down to the Vice Principal’s office or not.
Didn’t you quit the party? Remember that whole Hansen goes or I go tirade? Since Hansen’s still here I thought you quit.
Whatever happened to the good old days of, “You can’t fire me, I quit!”?
If Andy already split, he’s in good company.
The members under the Small Tent are increasingly – percentage wise – simply bootlickers or sychophants.
You must be the former, FishBreath.
Andy shouldn’t be given the option of quitting the party. He should be kicked out. Anyone who continues to denigrate the troops in the way Andy does has no place in the Republican party. He owes his freedom to veterans and he shouldn’t be bashing them when they help quell an unauthorized protest by a bunch of snot nosed punks.
Yes, the party has gone a different direction alright. We may even have a radical protester who gets famous by being arrested in our local leadership here in the Minnesota GOP. But of course, I’m the embarrassment who has to go.
Quit? Well,I said I would give where I wanted to and thought I could help and make a difference. The top down folks are saying I am unwelcome, so I guess it is what it is.
You’re actually going to keep saying that I am trashing the troops? It is unfounded and seems all too familiar and rather odd. Seems to me an all too convenient new commenter at RF.
When these anatards were roaming the streets here in the TC last summer I supported the men and women who were keeping us safe. The law enforcement officers and agencies did a great job here. Law enforcement officers! Military is for foreign security, not domestic security. Only under the worst circumstances should our own troops be…. God forbid we ever reach a day where the US military is used on its own citizens. Now yes, from time to time the National Guard helps out, in flooding, and disasters, but it is not a law enforcement tool, or shouldn’t be.
Although, it would be nice to put some troops on the borders. I can live with that.
Make sure you look outside the archives they sent you from my file. You might be surprised what you find. You might even realize you sound like an idiot saying I am trashing the troops. I support the troops and vets so much I am going to be joining them this Saturday.
Oh and I’m not the one who called the troops, military, and vets names nor was I given a cherry leadership role because the vet I attacked happened to be hated by the right people. You want to grind an axe about people trashing the troops, you might want to call the Republican Party of Minnesota and ask them why the handpicked Chair of the Constitution Comm…..
No wait, you probably already know how to get in touch with them, don’t ya? Nevermind.
And for those who need a quick translation of Andy post above:
Waah – My candidate didn’t win – it must be some vast conspiracy.
Waah – I didn’t win – it must be some vast conspiracy.
Waah – No one I have supported has won, it must be some vast conspiracy.
Ron Paul people are evil, unless they are supporting Dave Thompson, then they are good, unless he doesn’t win, then they are evil, unless this all part of the vast conspiracy against me.
Waah – No one loves me, oh goody the lefty blogs like me now – maybe I can make a name by being the guy who always has something bad to say about Republicans.
Waah – The party is plotting against us – so what if resolutions pass unanimously – it is all part of the vast conspiracy to get me.
Waah – A majority voted to set up a forum, it was a vast conspiracy to get me.
Waah – If people don’t start paying attention to me I am going to threaten to quit again and again and …
Waah – I know, I can stand around with a group of people who are upset they didn’t get elected, and maybe we can find some lefty to join us and then people will think I am important. I bet I can get on the news too.
Waah – Please someone validate me
Andy,
What are you joining the vets and troops about this Saturday? Is it some holiday I’m not aware of?
Or are you finally enlisting to be part of Obama’s Afghanistan surge? It would be good to see you put your money where your mouth is when it comes to these land wars in Asia. Maybe you can be one of the first troops across the Iranian border when that war starts up!
And for those who need a summary of Sam:
We the MNGOP staff and hatchet men and women who bully the course of events of internal party dealings dislike that Andy was not willing to sell his soul and turn RF into a press release venue like MDE and other blogs. We are so disappointed that he was unwilling to let us proof his work and turn over editorial control, that we had to have him nuetralized. We are so disgusted that doesn’t get on his knees when Coleman or Pawlenty speak, that we cannot tolerate him having an opinion any longer.
Or in other words: Andy sucks because he wouldn’t sell out to power.
Mike:

Can you detail Ron Paul’s “other way” when it comes to foreign policy? I hear him and his supporters spout off all the time about how wrong everything the US has ever done was, but all I can figure for his solution is: cut and run home and put your head in the sand and hope that they don’t attack us.
Sorry, you can live in the dreamworld that the US is the root of all evil in the world, but some of us are based in reality that you can’t just turn around the troops and ships and everything will get better and that evil animals will stop mass murders. I’m sorry, but it is inhumane to say that it isn’t any of our business to prevent genocide.
We have a duty to help those who cannot help themselves.
I wish the rest of the world would have stayed tough on despots and dictators so we didn’t have to use force. War sucks, but it doesn’t mean it has to be avoided at all costs. Sometimes you do need to use force so that the next guy will listen to your words.
Example: Brodkorb has destroyed my name and credibility so that no one else will spout off their mouth. They used me as an example of what will happen if you get in the way of the moneybags and establishment of the party.
Oh I am sorry.
I don’t want to invade Iran. I wish we didn’t have to be anywhere over there. I wish instead of getting in bed with Putin and the UN sham….
I would love to pull out of the UN. I think we should throw that bunch of thugs and dictators right off of American soil and stop funding the bogus group. I wish we could just let the rest of the world take care of itself. I do wish we didn’t need troops deployed around the globe and to, in rare occasion, take up arms and fight wars and battles, but if we didn’t do these things, we’d have to turn American into a fort knox. We’d have to have security like never before seen. We’d have trouble traveling, and we’d have animals lurking to attack from our very shores. The domestic security needed to secure the nation if we bring every single one of our troops home, like Paul speaks of, would require a police state like we have only seen in movies.
It is foolish and dangerous to speak of the dangers of the world like Paul does. It is irresponsible to believe that the US should sit on its hands while the world…..
Why am I arguing with people who are so proud of their beliefs that they hide behind cheap quips and other people’s statements?
No Andy you don’t suck because you don’t give into power.
If you look back, I was not the one driving my little red truck for Pawlenty, that would be you. I
Your problem is two fold:
One, you need to grow up.
Sometime you need to admit that when things don’t go your way it is not because of some vast conspiracy.
The latest example your tirade against the chair for forcing IRV. Saying is was a conspiracy to protect a candidate, when the truth was that it was a unanimous decision of the executive. Or your tirade about the evil technology committee formed as some vast conspiracy when the truth was that it was set up according to the wishes of a large majority of state central members.
Sometime your candidate loses because the other guy was better.
Second, you need to not think that losing is a person grudge. Dave Thompson showed great class with his concession speech, too bad you were so busy telling a majority of state central members that they were idiots to listen.
You have become a parody and the punch line of a joke.
None of this would matter much if you didn’t become the left bloggers and local papers favorite person to run to for quotes to trash republicans.
The state party leadership is not going to be hurt much by your childish behavior, but good candidates like Michelle Bachman may get painted with the, Evil Republican stereotype you help reinforce.
A final not, it is possible that some people actually work with the state party not to get power but to help their local candidates win. Maybe they spend a little more time figuring out how to win elections, how to defeat the DFL, how to advance conservative causes and less time figuring out the latest rumor about state party leadership. By the way, How many of your local candidates have actually won an election?
And now I will hide behind your statements.
Andy: I am being thrown out
Andy: Hansem goes or I go – 35 days ago
Andy,
What do you know about that Charlie Makidon who appears to be organizing the Nathan Hansen rally?
He claims to have been injured in Vietnam:
“I was wounded once in Vietnam, I don’t need to be wounded again with tax hikes that take away what little money I have,” Charles Makidon said. Makidon is the senior vice-commander of the St. Paul Veterans of Foreign Wars.
http://www.pbs.org/weta/washingtonweek/voices/200406/0607elect3.html
I’ve heard from a lot of people that he wasn’t injured and is making this up. Do you know the truth? If he was injured it should be easy to show everyone his purple heart and explain how he was injured. I don’t know the truth, but maybe you can help get to the bottom of it.
Thanks,
Mike
Hey fishy Mike, You sound like another party hack (scumbag) that hides under Suttons skirt (ooooh that must feel good). You better get your sh-t together before spouting off at the mouth. First of all, if you were a vet, you would know that only about 10% of all disabled vets have purple hearts. I have NEVER claimed to have a purple heart. I am a disabled veteran (3 times) and have the paperwork to prove it. It’s in my back pocket so if you ever decide to come out of hiding behind some pseudo gutless name (fishy mike) and show your cowardly face, I’ll show you the proof and then I’ll kick your a– just to show you what a real vet is like. Then you can figure out how to tell your kids how some disabled vet kicked their daddys a–. You sound just like some other party hack that’s been writing about me lately. Some jerk named freedom vet. Next time you get together with freedom vet you can tell him/her that disabled vets don’t get “hurt”. They get wounded. If you party scumbag lowlifes ever decide to come out of hiding (Gutless COWARDS), I’ll be waiting. Bye the way, I was Senior Vice Commander (an elected position) of chapter 2 DAV, just prior to being “ELECTED” COMMANDER, St Paul, Chapter 2, DAV in 2004/2005. You two gutless wonders don’t happen to know some scumbag named Bill Jungbauer. Oops, I wasn’t supposed to figure out who you were. Oh well, sh– happens. If you ever decide to come out from under Tonys skirt, let me know. If you don’t, i’ll understand. It’s getting pretty crowded under there and you need all the time you can get. No wonder Tony smiles all the time. Need some chapstick?In the meantime, shut your f—— mouth. Remember what happens when you let your alligator mouth over run your hummingbird a–. Identify yourself or shut up. Charlie PS: It takes more than a couple party hack scumbags to ruffle Andy’s feathers. He’s one non-vet that I will always stand behind. If we have to bring Viet Nam back to the streets of Minnesota, I’ll be looking for you.
Charlie,
Wow. You wouldn’t happen to be the same Charles Makidon who got convicted of threatening your neighbor over a barking dog would you? You don’t seem to be all that rational. It says a lot about Andy that you’re one to always have his back.
In any event, the question remains, how did you get wounded in Vietnam? Was it in combat? Usually that’s what people mean when they say they were wounded in Vietnam, but perhaps you were misquoted. I’m just seeking some clarification. If you just slipped on a wet floor while mopping the deck or cut your finger on a potato peeler, don’t be ashamed. There’s nothing wrong with that.
Wrong again. I was convicted of reckless pointing of a firearm, which wouldn’t have happened if we would have had a castle law in MN. Protecting my family in my house is against the law in Minnesota. By the way, Nathan Hansen was my attorney, that’s why we lost. Tell Nathan that he can lose his license for violating attorney client privacy law. I am proud to be a vet. They don’t have decks in the army or air force, buttface. I still haven’t seen your cowardly identification.
How did you get hurt Charlie? Why are you dancing around the issue? If you are so proud about your service why don’t you answer the question?
Mike,
You are a real son of a bitch. If a veteran says he was wounded in Vietnam you should take him at his word. A punk little b*tch like you has no place criticizing someone who put his life on the line to protect your freedom. I think you call yourself fishy because you smell like a big rancid p*ssy.
Charlie,
If you say Andy’s a good guy I’ll give him some credit, but doesn’t it bother you when he criticizes the troops who were helping to protect freedom in Pittsburgh? Why does it “bother” him that the troops are helping to snuff out some panty waist little protesters? The troops are the perfect people to put a stop to unauthorized protesting and anyone who is “bothered” by what the troops are doing needs to learn a thing or two about freedom.
Charlie,
It appears the oppo researchers are out for you too. Must be striking a nerve.
As to Pittsburg and my other post, let’s get the things/facts straight.
I wasn’t attacking the troops. I don’t see anything in there that is an attack. Having military troops deployed against our own citizens is a bad idea. And if it did happen, it wouldn’t be the troop’s fault. They follow orders.
Considering we now know that they weren’t military personnel, but rather from other govt agencies, the claim that I was attacking troops is unfounded. You keep saying I am attacking the troops, what specifically was the attack?
Domestically, it is law enforcement who should preserve the peace and investigate crimes. There is some room for aid from military in extreme circumstances, but I think it is wrong to say that the military is perfect for dealing with unruly diaper wearing snot nosed punks who simply want their 15 seconds of fame and their mace covered faces on TV.
I think ending in the 101st Airborne to give parking tickets in Omaha Nebraska would be a little extreme, and I also think, which was not the case we know now, troops to pull people off the streets and throw them into cars is something we should all be concerned about.
Law enforcement deals with citizens, the military should focus on people trying to kill people.
Now if you wanted to gather them up, wash the piss off their clothes and throw them into a boxing ring with some marines, I say let’s do it, maybe they will learn a valuable lesson, but I don’t like the idea of troops patrolling America’s streets. Again, I don’t like the idea of it. Not trashing the individual troops as Nathan Hansen has, but the idea of what they are being ordered to do.
Andy, That wasn’t me attacking you for something in Pittsburg. I’m not even up on that issue. I don’t even know what they are talking about. Besides, I don’t care if it’s overseas or backon our own soil, anyone that protests our military should be dealt with by the military. That’s where we went wrong in Nam. They should have let the troops come home and deal with the punk ass protesters. They think Kent State and California was bad. They should have turned the troops on those protesters. Things would probably be a lot better today. Sorry for the miscomunication. That’s somebody else taking off on you. I understand what you said and I support your thoughts. Charlie PS: The punks are restless. If you ever find out who fishy mike is, I want to be the first one to know. I want to show him what a 60 year old grandpa DAV can do to his head. Amen.
Andy, I think you’re right. The punks are getting nervous. Must be feeling the pinch. I wonder how much constituents money Sutton is paying this research committee to dig up this shit. The membership should really like that. It should make them proud to know they have to pay people to attack us and then they aren’t even getting a bang for there buck. You and/or I have more brains in our little finger than all of them put together. “IF YOU’RE GOING TO TAKE A SHOT AT A VET, YOU BETTER MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AMMO IN YOUR CLIP BECAUSE A VET IS ALWAYS LOCKED AND LOADED”. {“charlie”}
I’m with you Charlie. We need to use the military for a lot more of our domestic police work. Things would be a lot better in this country if we did.
Those punks in Pittsburgh should have been cleared off the streets with a few M1A1s. I don’t know why Andy was so bothered about a couple of troops cleaning the streets of a few unauthorized protesters. Those idiots were out of line protesting freedom and our defense of freedom abroad. That’s exactly what the military should be involved in. We should have turned the military on those fools protesting the Iraq war. We’d have a lot more respect for the troops if protesters knew they’d be facing military justice.
And I looked up your conviction on the internet. The opinion is easy to find. I don’t blame you for pulling a gun on that guy. Those kids and their barking dogs shouldn’t be bothering you. And no one has a right to be on your property. So what if you encourage them to leave by pointing a gun at them.
Keep up the good work. Let me know if you need a hand with Fishy Mike.
Charlie,
Let me get this straight you:
1) Make reference to yourself as a disabled vet nearly a dozen times in your posts on this topic;
2) Tell some reporter that you were “wounded once in Vietnam”; and
3) Yet refuse to explain how you were wounded?
Usually when people say they were “wounded once in Vietnam” they mean wounded in combat. Heck, if you ask 100 people what the phrase “wounded once in Vietnam” means I bet all 100 would say it means injured in combat. Why won’t you explain yourself? Are you trying to hide something? Making all of these silly threats about bringing Vietnam to MN and beating people up doesn’t make you seem very credible.
Again, if you cut your finger while peeling potatoes it doesn’t diminish your service. The troops on the front line need peeled potatoes and there is nothing wrong with peeling potatoes for them. The only thing that can diminish your service is to lie about it. And remember, making vague statements that allow people to form false conclusions and then not correcting those false impressions is no different than lying.
As far as the court case with your name on it, it is available to anyone who knows how to put your name in Google. If you don’t believe me try it yourself.
And Freedom Vet, you really are nuts. You and Charlie want the military to patrol the streets like some third world nation? Not even Andy is that wacky, although he does seem to be dancing around the issue now that Charlie has called for military intervention against protestors.
So apparently Andy actually got something right – No troops policing this country.
Also what fucking kind of vets are you guys? Seriously you want our military to start shooting protesters?
What happened to that little oath you guys took to uphold the constitution?
Does that not matter because you dont agree with what they are saying?
I think you guys should read your oaths again then go read the first amendment.
Phreakmac,
We’re the kind of vets that provide you with the freedom from having to look at protesters. Freedom doesn’t mean letting people do what they want anymore. Freedom is about protecting every day Americans from Al Qaida and the kind of punks that want to let Al Qaida win. We also have to focus on extending freedom abroad. Sometimes that means clearing the streets of punks.
And you should go easy on Charlie. He put a lot of work into the Nathan Hansen protest and got emotionally invested in it. Unfortunately it was a dismal failure. But I have no doubt Charlie will be back harassing the enemies of freedom in no time.
