Dear Michelle Bachman:

[yendi]

I wish I believed in Hell, because when you pull shit like this, you pretty much prove that you've earned your place there. Never, ever talk about the Holocaust again; you do not have the intellectual capacity or the moral compass to ever make mention of it in any way that helps anyone.

Every time I think she's hit bottom, she manages to dig a hole and reach a new low.

[yendi]

She truly has no shame.

I heard she was born in Canada (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9mzJhvC-8E&sns=fb) anyway.

Seriously, though, this is sickening. And the proximity to Yom Ha'Shoah.

[yendi]

I do not for a second believe that the proximity isn't well-planned on her part.

I think my reaction was pretty much "....?"

This should be some kind of reverse corollary to Godwin's Law: "Anyone who compares something that is not genocide to the Holocaust automatically loses."

[yendi]

I think it's pretty much implied. I certainly hope it's the case here.

She's trying to get into Palin's "I Can Say Appallingly Idiotic Racist Things" club.

[yendi]

I think she's already a lifetime member.

You know, it's a basic commonsense rule: If you ever want to compare something to the Holocaust that doesn't involve 6 million people being stolen from, captured, tortured, and THEN sadistically murdered, don't.

[yendi]

Common sense and Bachman have never even been in the same room.

[ex-gnomicut.livejournal.com]

I don't think the number needs to be 6 million. I think there just needs to be an attempt to commit genocide involving capture, torture, and sadistic murder. There is unfortunately a non-zero number of events in recent and not-so-recent history that I would compare to the Holocaust.

But not, you know, tax increases. Damn, that woman is batshit.

This person is abominable, but I'm not surprised by what she said; she's a conservative after all. >:|

[yendi]

I know enough conservatives to know that the term is genuinely not synonymous with evil, but Bachman seems intent on proving me wrong.

What the hell did I just read?! o_O

Michelle Bachman is a tool.
