Sooner or later something comes up on most of the GOP candidates about some where in their past they held views of racism. Then they some how try to hide it. But it comes back to bite them at some point in time...This has happen to Rick Perry, Ron Paul and even Newt Gingrich . Romney was almost spared of it...but given the history of the Latter Day Saints to keep out blacks from their churches for centuries and now allows them just can't still well with the majority of whites in that church. And Romney's campaign blunders at black garthering have reflected some of that.
So now we have Michelle Bachmann as being a racist...but not only of blacks but of people of Arab decent as well. With her latest witch hunt attacks on Huma Abedin and other Arab Americans of accusing them to be spies and secretly working for the Muslim Brotherhood !
...In college days she was a student of John Eidsmoe who preached and taught in so many words that added up to,,,blacks and Arabs don't really belong in America because the Christian God made this country for only whites who are the only ones that can be Christians...
. In August of last year, Bachmann told
the Rediscover God in America conference in Iowa that Eidsmoe is
“absolutely brilliant.” He “had a great influence on me … He taught me
about so many aspects of our Godly heritage,” she said.
Eidsmoe, a law professor who taught Bachmann at Oral Roberts University
and became something of a mentor to her. As the New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza reported last year, Bachmann worked for Eidsmoe on several projects and internalized his Christian-Dominionist
worldviews. If biblical law conflicts with civil law, Eidsmoe teaches
that “the first thing you should try to do is work through legal means
and political means to get it changed.” He told Lizza that Bachmann’s
views are entirely consistent with his own. So he teaching people to change our Constitution to favor Biblical law. That is the same as trying to make Sharia law stick...both are direct attacks on our Constitutional rights.
So here it comes.... John Eidsmoe is a member of the League of the South, which is a
neo-Confederate hate group, which has said things like slavery is
God-ordained and is explicitly racialist. He also spoke to the Council
of Conservative Citizens, which is a flat-out white supremacist group. ( many of these are in the Tea Party)
They’re against interracial marriage, they’ve said things like — direct
quote from them — ‘blacks are a retrograde species of humanity,’ blacks are beasts of burden for the white race...so you
get the idea. This guy John Eidsmoe hung out with hate groups, he’s been a member of
hate groups, and his views are just so far outside of the mainstream
that it’s amazing. it’s a little shocking to think that Michelle Bachmann would be openly willing to admit that she’s influenced
by him.
I'd say THAT makes her a racist in denial... just like the rest of them GOP candidates are...and all who would say to me that this is a race card post...you can only play that stupid hand for so long to help YOU stay in your own racist denial as well..
Okay let's here your comments on this one.

sjalan 2012/07/24 15:13:01Yes she is. She's just in denial of it.
+7For a starter, YES! and she's a lot of other things too. Homophobe, liar, opportunist, female dog, misinformed or ignores the reality of the truth. These are just for starters. There's a lot more but she doesn't deserve the time to list them.
Now that doesn't mean that every white is a racist...but in the founding of this country whites are the sole ones responsible for it...and Bauchman is fueling that...that's her denial part... or her hiding it...pick which ever...it still bigotry
And all those things that Malcolm X said are true and not racist bigotry...are you so blind that you cannot see that?...It's a wake up call.... conservative Dixiecrat whites produced Malcolm X ...read his story on how it was for him growing up...and tell me...was there any reason why whites should do such evil to him and his family...?
Calling me a racist is way out of line kid....
My son could look like him, was the same, Obama brings up race, fuels the fire but for some reason gets away from it. hmmmm
Obama said...If I had a son...he would look like Trayvon....sorry dude...I am trying real hard to see how that is a racist statement ...
My points are clear and accurate on how racism from the past is invested in mostly the conservatives of today... it's you guys that brought it all out....Bauchman is a bigot...she's a nice bigot...she even helps foster black kids...but that still doesn't mean she isn't a racist ...she thinks she knows how blacks should be....one thing they should not be is President of the USA....that is a clear point on the right...
‘The implication of looks equating to innocence (or guilt) is illogical and emotive and divisive, and indeed racially charged.’
Trayvon is dead because he was in the middle of bashing some dude’s head on the pavement, and that dude happened to be armed. Trayvon’s death is tragic, and the force Zimmerman used could be debated for days on end, but let’s not pretend that the kid was a martyr and that Zimmerman was a racist. I’m pretty sure that neither Hispanics nor Democrats are allowed to be racists, and George Zimmerman was both.
Trayvon was not an innocent little kid with a colorful bag of skittles. At 17, I’ll still call him a kid, but the guy was a 6’2” football player who was on a 5-day suspension from school for marijuana possession. He was not shot in a predominantly white neighborhood, he was shot in a neighborhood that was 49 percent white. It takes some pretty creative math turn 49 percent into a majority.
Conversitives didn't bring out racism, Liberals keep it right up front, ready to be spoken at any sllight they feel and that can't be justified any other way.
Obama didn’t create the misunderstandings and resentments that complicate a controversy like Trayvon Martin’s death. He’s just the spark that sets them off.
...is a racist in denial lol again everyone but you right. Facts are facts, reading others viewpoints and converting them into facts is something that just will not work in a court of law. How can you say what zimmerman was thinking??? you just so smart you now know what people are thinking??? Well then seeing how your SO smart, and KNOW what people were thinking, what was good ol racist Al thinking when he ignored the 14 African Americans shot in south Fla the same week?? was it because they were shot by blacks,??? hmmmm
I would love to have you in a court room, I tear you a new one, speculation doesn't come into play. Thats all you have, yet somehow you think that it's facts, lol what an idiot you are.
Wanna discuss his broken nose,
I can't tell you how many classes I sat in on through all my schooling where the proffessor were clearly bias against others not just like them (including myself) , all my military affiliations who worked grudgingly with but complained loudly against those not like them. But just because I had to learn from those people and work with those people none of that makes me either bias or racist it simply makes me aware that people like that exist.
So far teh only modern day Racist who has acted in politics in recient years woudl be the late Sen. Bird who was an active partispant in the KKK. His ACTIONS show he was racist, or that he was at least for part of his life.
There is, too, a difference between the diffentions of Raicist, Prejudgest and Bias and p[erhaps if people take a moment to learn the difference we might find teh ability to stop throwing around words taht should be more meaningful when used than they have become.
Bauchamann still embraces everything she was taught by John Eidsmoe.
And you are Speculating about what she does and doesn't believe. No one takes everything they learn from a single teacher and applies it to their life. To say they loved a teacher and what they learned is not the same as taking verbatum that teachers aditudes and applying them to your life.
And if that is the case then Obama is also guilty of being racist and a hate monger and believing in conspiricy theories because that is what he was taught by those he associated with.
Obama hasn't accused any white people in Congress of being enemies of America and those that he knew in his past never taught him to hate other races or look at them as beasts.
P.S. you don't need to burn a cross anymore these days to prove your a racist...but a letter to congress like this will do...
She was not accusing anyone of spying she was accusing people of useing government loop holes to funnel money illegally. And I wish every congress person was so concerned about where tax money goes.
Try reading the entire letter you can find it at this link. http://frontpagemag.com/2012/...
Main article: Muslim Brotherhood Conspiracy Theories
In June-July 2012 Bachmann and several other Republican legislators Rep. Trent Franks, Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert, Florida Rep. Tom Rooney and Georgia Rep. Lynn Westmoreland Michele Bachmann Sticks To Accusations About Muslim Brotherhood sent a series of letters to oversight agencies at five federal departments citing “serious security concerns” about what Bachmann has called a “deep penetration in the halls of our United States government” by the Muslim Brotherhood. They requested formal investigations into what Bachmann called "influence operations" by the Brotherhood.
Bachmann also accused Huma Abedin, an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and former Rep. Anthony Weiner’s wife, of having family connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Bachmann's comments have drawn what the Washington Post calls "fierce criticism from fellow lawmakers and religious groups." In a speech on the Senate floor, 2008 Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain denounced Bachmann's charges as "specious and degrading".

Bachmann's comments have drawn what the Washington Post calls "fierce criticism from fellow lawmakers and religious groups." In a speech on the Senate floor, 2008 Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain denounced Bachmann's charges as "specious and degrading". He defended Abedin as a "hard-working and loyal servant of our country and our government" and stated "these attacks on Huma have no logic, no basis and no merit. They need to stop now." House Speaker John Boehner termed Bachmann’s allegations “dangerous", and other Republicans have also criticized the remarks.
In a letter to Bachmann, Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., a Muslim, asked for evidence backing her claims and stated, “Your response simply rehashes claims that have existed for years on anti-Muslim websites and contains no reliable information that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the U.S. government”.
Bachmann has replied that "the intention of the letters was to outline the serious national security concerns I had and ask for answers to questions regarding the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical group's access to top Obama administration officials". In a July 19 interview with right-wing radio and TV show host Glenn Beck, Bachman repeated and expanded her allegations, accusing Ellison of having "a long record of being associated with the Council on American–Islamic Relations and with the Muslim Brotherhood". (Ellison replied that "I am not now, nor have I ever been, associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.")
To me this nothing but Bauchmann using racism profiling...
You can no more prove that Bachmann is a racist than I can prove Obama is one, not that I would bother to try because racism doesn't lie in a letter asking for an investiagtion it lies in teh person's heart and no one knows what is in a persons heart but them.
I think the bias here is your own and not bachmanns.
Its used by school kids who end up FAILING.
Perhaps you should try NEWSWEEK or THE TIMES or THE WALL STREET JOURNAL... next time you need a source.
But I like how you revert to childish rhetoric when you are at a loss for an arguement.
and here's a article from New Week...
We’ve all heard about it. Last week Representative Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn) sent a letter to national security agents warning about the increasing infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood in the federal government. Bachmann singled out Hillary Clinton’s longtime aide Huma Abedin, accusing her family members (her late father, mother and brother) of being close to “Muslim Brotherhood operatives."
And Senator John McCain (R-Ariz) stepped up. He took the Senate floor on Wednesday to defend his fellow public servant:
To say that the accusations made in both documents are not substantiated by the evidence they offer is to be overly polite and diplomatic about it. It is far better, and more accurate, to talk straight: These allegations about Huma, and the report from which they are drawn, are nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable citizen, a dedicated American, and a loyal public servant.
Four years ago, McCain chose a running mate who failed to distinguish between the peaceful practice of the Muslim religion and Islamic terrorists. But he’s since repented.
It’s been a week...

It’s been a week since Bachmann’s letter was published. The ADL has said nothing. Yet its mission–which it repeatedly hasn't upheld–is to fight "anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry." When asked about whether the organization would be responding to the events in a phone call this morning, an ADL media representative explained that the organization is “concerned” about what happened but was "not sure if we're planning on issuing a statement."
The ADL’s concern is commendable. But its reluctance to issue a statement is not.
Two years ago, the film director Oliver Stone gave an interview to a British newspaper in which he mentioned "The Jewish domination of the media." The very next day, the ADL issued a press release in which its National Director, Abe Foxman, condemned Stone’s “anti-Semitic and conspiratorial views.”
Michelle Bachmann made a bigoted comment. It’s time to respond, ADL.
Case close....lol
That is` why it can't be used in schools because it's immediate info maybe wrong or needs to be updated...with millions of other things...But info that years old or even a month is quite reliable.
And just because it cannot be used in schools doesn't make it all lies and filled with nothing but wrong info....
Do you really think that the truth about anything is being told on all sites that are for the left or the right?
No matter where people go for info when it comes to hot debates on things that happen in the U.S. every site is gonna favor left or right....
Wikipedia is neutral because it doesn't cator to the left or right...You post on it and site your sources and they check it all out and deem if it stays or goes...but that takes time...and because of that time certain info can be inaccurate until they get t5o it.. It's a big job and constantly being added to...it all history and current. That's a lot of stuff to process.....

Everything that I found in it turned out to be true according to their sources written in the box form. All one needs to do is hit those numbers and theirs the source...and then you can take that and do a whole web search on it...that's what I do...
I find doing this is the best way to go about finding info.
the same as the DA will lose the Zimmerman case.
Zimmerman has told 3 diffrent stories..my mother could tell when I lied...I asked her...how do you know?...she said..you kept changing the story...The DA will not have to do much to convict Zimmerman...he's doing it fine all by himself...
