Michele Bachmann: God sent Hurricane Irene because we spend too much

[rightwinger]

Bachmann aide: Hurricane comment was in 'jest'

I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending.

If a Republican makes a joke you can count on right winger to be there taking it seriously But what's funnier is that you say this and yet in all seriousness you claim that socialism wills solve global warming...

You gotta help me on this. I have never actually seen Bachmann tell a joke. How does one tell when she is joking?

Might be because it is the first time I ever heard someone joke about a hurricane while it was going on

CNN stated the whole thing was a joke here is the video:

Bachmann tries hand at Irene humor
American Morning|Added on August 29, 2011
GOP candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann jokes that recent natural disasters are God's way of getting D.C.'s attention.

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

Looks like a poor attempt at humor to me.

looks like an excellent attempt at bat shit crazy to me.

why did God make Perry run so that Bachman would have to slink away ?

It seems tea party people like their women mouthy and religious right up until they can find a Man who mouthy and religious.

And the village idiot makes its appearance.

Dems hate wemon, that's why they elected Obama over Hilary... So logical yes?

You must be talking about yourself, as the evidence and all the facts bare out the fact that Moochelle was leading, right up until Bush II on Steoroids reared his Texas head.

Why must you, like Moochelle, lie so?

When will you take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILTY?!??

Well, you have to start by not being an idiot. In other words, you can't...

She's got balls. However, I think she is unelectable.
The more she opens her mouth, the farther she gets from being nominated.
Your side NEEDS her. With Bachmann leading the GOP ticket, Obama is a shoo-in.

Yepper, Palin is the one for the right.

Oh...now I get it, she was just joking. Suuuuuure!

Neg rep for lying. She said no such thing.

Michele Bachmann rally draws over 1,000 in Sarasota, but some prefer Rick Perry - St. Petersburg Times

Then I wonder why they quote her as having said that.

Guess she's got a weird sense of humor to joke about a hurricane.

Funny, Rabbi never jumped back on here to say: "whoops, I was wrong." I am just shocked!

And now we watch Bachmann start to shoot herself in the foot. Equally shocking.

And this was a particularly stupid thing for her to say. It's akin to "George Bush hates black people", "God sent Katrina to punish the homosexuals" and any other dumbassed thing said after a national disaster.

You don't joke about that shit and you do your best to try to not politicize other people's trouble.

In the spirit of the stupidity that seems to prevail on this board after such events, I demand that every right winger condemn Bachmann for her words! Non-condemnation equates to support!
