Michele Bachmann Calls President Of Iran A 'Hater'

During her stop in Estherville, Iowa, Bachmann responded to Ron Paul's accusation on the Jay Leno show last night that she "hates Muslims."

"I don't hate Muslims," Bachman said. "I love the American people. And as president of United States, my goal would be to keep the American people safe, free and sovereign."

"The haters are the president of Iran," she said, referring to Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. "He stated unequivocally that given a nuclear weapons he will use that weapon to wipe Israel off the map, and he's willing to use it against the United States of America."

Ahh ... the refreshing fear of hearing the thirteen year old girl's take on foreign policy ... if only this was actually from a thirteen year old girl and not a candidate for the presidency.

"I love the American people"??

Presumably, gays (at least those without the last name 'Bachmann'), Muslims, the poor and Democrats need not apply for 'American people' status under a Bachmann regime.

Those details aside, it appears to be an unrequited love, at least among the polls AND book buyers: As of a week ago, Amazon book buyers showed more love for 4,629 authors than they did for her.

Time to que that Urban Cowboy tune "Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places", I guess.

"The haters ARE the president of Iran..."
Michele's grammar is every bit as solid as her medical advice for teenaged girls.

I don't want this woman no where NEAR that red button people. She's psychotic about Iran it seems and would love to wipe them off the face of the world if given the chance. I certainly don't want to give her that opportunity. Republicans are warlords and aren't happy unless they are sending somebody's child to get ki//ed overseas somewhere. There should be a law that says if you don't send your own child to war, you cannot send anybody else's. And everybody in congress who agrees to that war must send all their children first. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Absolutely agree! Both Republicans and Democrats!

For those who are not able to go to the front lines, due to age or infirmity, have them work in the MASH units to see what they're "patriotism" brings to others.

About Ahmadineja­d, maybe the dude would lighten up if somebody went and bought him a tie for Christmas, sort of like in "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" when Kris Kringle gave the Burghermeister-MeisterBurgher that yo-yo...

So many women haters here. Every sane, rational person knows that Ahmadinejad is a hater and yet so many here are denigrating Michelle for saying publicly what most have already said privately.

Go Michelle Go!!

Bachmann is a wacko Puritan. They only cared about converting people to their extremist beliefs and viewed anyone non-white as second class. People should share the real name when they support Bachmann and Santorum. It would then be easier to identify the homophobic Christian extremist.

Is everyone you don't agree with a wacko? An Extremist?

So don't vote for her; but there is no need to call her names.

"The Right is Wrong" is right, now that's an oxymoron that's right, or is it left. Regardless, it's a good one that's right.

If Iran nukes Israel, it nukes Jerusalem, Jordan, Sinai etc. They are all closely co-located.

The nukes themselves will hit all in the region and not just Jews.

So IMO, there is a lot of bluster behind this threat!
