I've seen better videos of Michele Machmann making a fool of herself. Although she clearly opposes vaccinations for some reason, I believe her "official" stance in this video is to oppose the mandatory distribution of vaccinations. Which kind of makes sense. Making them widely available and forcing people to take them are two different things.


Actually, this is a pretty good point and reminds me of a really interesting thing way back. I did residential work back in the day and I remember my first year I had a Christian Scientist who did not have any inoculations. His roommate totally freaked out and we ended up consulting the health services to find out what they thought about the situation and basically they said that it really wasn't a big deal because literally everyone around him was inoculated, so it wasn't like he was going to spontaneously generate plague from nowhere.

I suppose it would still be icky had he had traveled while on vacation and become exposed to something virulent, but given that everyone else had been inoculated, it probably wouldn't mean a total pandemic...

Hear, Hear for herd immunization.

mercury causes mental retardation, vaccines contain mercury, therefore vaccines=retardation.

A 6-ounce can of tuna fish contains an average of 17 micrograms of mercury, vaccines that contain mercury contain roughly 25 micrograms.
You think you're going to become mentally retarded by eating two cans of tuna?
No?
Then what you're saying is retarded.
That sort of knee-jerk, mindless shit is what causes people to stop getting their kids immunised and starts getting kids killed.

Well, she is anti-reason, so this follows quite naturally.

I don't think being anti-vaccine should be considered anti-reason. I'd like to say I'm against vaccines because I want their to be a LOT less people on this planet. We can make it happen if we believe!


Your ideas intrigue me sir, I would like to subscribe to your newsletter!

The heliocentric view follows the liberal agenda of defying and abolishing God. Therefore it has to be removed from school books and shall not be teached at universities.

Upvote for "teached."

Arghll. Freudian slip

Whoa, Bachmann's really going for the highscore of crazy! May I suggest questioning the heliocentric view next?


Hehe, high-score... love it.

Don't tempt her though, I'm sure she would question it if given a chance. After all Evolution is just a theory and every day she looks up at the sky and sees the sun and moon move across it. I mean, if the earth was actually rotating and careening across space at incredible speed, wouldn't we just fly off of it like kids on a park ride?

Geez, at least Jon Huntsman answered the question. Rick Perry & Michelle Bachmann just skirted around the actual question and went on an irrelevant tangent. Kinda annoying.

Why would you ring the head of another state to offer them a biscuit?


I don't know. 'cos their Sarah Palins neighbours?

OTOH maybe if international diplomacy always started with the generous offer of biscuitude the world wouldn't be so fucked up. Maybe that's the solution to the middle east?

Hey jews, we don't like you!
Yeah well, we're not too keen on you arab guys either!
That said, I do like biscuits.
Really? Me too! Also I don't like pork.
Wow, us too! Let's put this whole thing behind us, come round and we'll have pork free biscuits!

and thus was the world saved thanks to me.

You're welcome.

Er, she may not get all her words right, but she's running for president, where it's kind of vital that you do get your words right, isn't it?


"Mr. Putin, I am calling to tell you we have declared war on you! Oops, silly me, got the words wrong again. I meant to say would you like a biscuit?"
