Bachmann criticizes black farmer settlement

Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann pointed to one program in particular Monday when talking about wasteful government spending: a multibillion dollar settlement paid to black farmers, who claim the federal government discriminated against them for decades in awarding loans and other aid.

She lost me at using reparations as a threat/insult.

This.

[chaeri]

Me too. Seriously, what is WRONG with people?

[littlelauren86]

Fuck these people. Seriously. So, apparently her fans are homophobic and racist.

[lickety_split]

You'd have to be to homophobic and racist to like her. And Ann Coulter. And Glenn Beck. And Bill O'Reilly. Rush Limbaugh. Shall I continue?

[chaeri]

Jr, definitely. Ron Paul. Rand Paul. Paul Ryan. Actually, it would be quicker to name anyone in the GOP for the last two elections (and probably beyond) crop who isn't racist, homophobic, sexist or all of the above and make policy based on that bigotry.

[apocalypsos]

I find myself impressed that anyone can quote Bachmann clearly anymore considering her voice has got to be muffled behind that white pointy hood.

LOL Best comment.

They're race-baiting to get more pork for their constituents. King's a far-right wacko and well Bachman...do we need to say anything more about her?

And the reason paying reparations for decades of discrimination is bad is?
