Michele Bachmann makes my knowledge of history hurt…

» 24 January 2011 »

Sigh.

Talking Points Memo:

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) had an interesting take this weekend on America’s first European settlers, who she said “had different cultures, different backgrounds, different traditions.”

“How unique in all of the world, that one nation that was the resting point from people groups all across the world,” she said. “It didn’t matter the color of their skin, it didn’t matter their language, it didn’t matter their economic status.”

Dear Willfully ignorant White folks:

You can continue to try to photoshop history but there’s a bunch of us who have actually read a book or simply have access to the internet and will continously ask “WTF are you talking about? NONE OF THAT HAPPENED!”

Love,

ejw

    It is “remarkable” that Michelle Bachmann is such a “batshit.” Most ‘founders’ were dead at the time of the Civil War.

    Timothy Egan mentions this in the NYT today in an entry on the State of the Union:

    “Representative Michele “Don’t-Know-Much-About-History” Bachmann made fellow Republicans cringe with her insistence on a rogue rebuttal. After wiping slavery from the history books last weekend in her version of how America came to be, Bachmann showed she is as good at making stuff up from the past as she is at reconstituting the present.”
