Do the Truthdiggers really think they have a "Gotcha!" here? Farm subsidies? Legally accepted and fully disclosed farm subsidies? From her father-in-law's farm?
Yeah. She's toast, alright.
I hadn't even heard of her before the libs started ragging on her. She has the right enemies, anyway.
Michele Bachmann has become well known for her anti-government tea-bagger antics, protesting health care reform and every other government handout as socialism. What her followers probably dont know is that Rep. Bachmann is, to use that anti-government slur, something of a welfare queen. Thats right, the anti-government insurrectionist has taken more than a quarter-million dollars in government handouts thanks to corrupt farming subsidies she has been collecting for at least a decade.
And shes not the only one who has been padding her bank account with taxpayer money.
...
But data compiled from federal records by Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit watchdog that tracks the recipients of agricultural subsidies in the United States, shows that Bachmann has an inner Marxist that is perfectly at ease with profiting from taxpayer largesse. According to the organizations records, Bachmanns family farm received $251,973 in federal subsidies between 1995 and 2006. The farm had been managed by Bachmanns recently deceased father-in-law and took in roughly $20,000 in 2006 and $28,000 in 2005, with the bulk of the subsidies going to dairy and corn. Both dairy and corn are heavily subsidizedor socializedbusinesses in America (in 2005 alone, Washington spent $4.8 billion propping up corn prices) and are subject to strict government price controls.
...
Bachmanns financial disclosure forms indicate that her personal stake in the family farm is worth up to $250,000. They also show that she has been earning income from the farm business, and that the income grew in just a few years from $2,000 to as much as $50,000 for 2008. This has provided her with a second government-subsidized income to go with her job as a government-paid congresswoman who makes $174,000 per year (in addition to having top-notch government medical benefits). If she has an interest in a farm getting federal subsidy payments, she is benefiting from them, Sandra Schubert, director of government affairs for the Environmental Working Group, told Gannett News Service in 2007, when the subsidies to Bachmann were first publicly disclosed.

She is a corporatist.
Or in other words a good Republican.

I see you are a complete tool of the Dumocratic Party. Please check where funding is coming from. You'll find most dollars coming out of wall st and big corporations go to the Democratic Party. Who is the biggest beneficiary of the health care reform? Big corporations. It sure as hell isn't working people.
Have I ever said that the Dems are not a tool of the corporatists?
Didn't the Soviet Union subsidize farms? And yet Bachman rails against social programs for the poor while she and her wealthy land owner friends rake in the Government money

Unbelievable. You retards amaze me anew every day.

Yes, you implied that with your post.
Oh Michelle, say it isn't so.
I loved you for being an honest wacko. But to find out you are a wacko on the take? Horrible.
Does the Left ever get tired of spinning the same Alinsky tactics? Why is this appearing anywhere? Is it because Pelosi has targeted Bachmann as the one rep she wants to see defeated? Is there any allegation of wrong doing here? No, not even that.
Board members are simply useful idiots of the Left, complacent in their hijacking of American democracy.

Who was it who instuted those farm price supports and defends them tooth and nail? Wasn't that Democrats from farm states like WI?
WTF are you prattling on about? What spin? Its simple hypocrisy. Plain and simple.Oh Michelle, say it isn't so.

AKA hypocrites.The point of this thread has been established. It is so that liberals can demonstrate their absolute and total stupidity.There's a point to this thread?
Oh yes there is, Bachman apologists..
You do realize, do you not, that terminal stupidity is a pre-existing condition that will not be covered under ObamaCureItAll Plan?
Thank you.No one accused her of wrongdoing. They are accusing her of being a hypocrit since she keeps saying that government subsidieds are wrong--she is against healthcare subsidies for that reason. Unless it's good for her, she doesn't want it.
Any idea which party this line refers to today?And being a hypocrite is a crime? What about Barak Insane Obama, who was a hypocrite during the election by promising things he knew he couldn't deliver? What about Ted Kennedy, who had MA change its election law to benefit democrats, and then had them change it back again when that became beneficial? What about Barney Frank, who wanted to roll the dice on Fannie, and now appears as a paragon of fiscal virtue?
Bachmann took advantage of a government program and was well within her rights to do so. How is that hypocrisy?

Who said anything about Democrats or Republicans?
We are talking about the hypocricy of accepting farm subsidies while complaining about the Government handouts others are getting.
In NJ you get to claim your land is a farm if you sell $500 worth of goods in a year. You get a property tax relief of tens of thousands of dollars and only need to sell $500 worth of goods (produce, firewood,christmas trees) to get it

So she is the only politician guilty of hypocrisy? I'm just not getting it here. If you want to blame someone, blame the people who passed the laws and started the programs in the first place, not those taking advantage of lawful programs.
No, the OP is there simply as a hatchet job against a rep that Nancy Pelosi has targeted for defeat.

Yes, let's dig up FDR and hang him for passing these farm subsidies, while we are at it, we can hang all of the farmers all across the USA for taking those subsidies.
Of course, the grocery stores might be empty, and prices will go skyrocketing because there is less of it. Millions will probably starve, but that's okay too, because we will have a health care plan.
