The Associated Press is citing that goofy PolitiFact operation in its report on Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, "FACT CHECK: Bachmann bomblets raising eyebrows."
Who's eyebrows are raised about Michele Bachmann?
Bill Maher's eyebrows? Maybe Rachel Maddow? I suppose Chris "Are you a flake?" Wallace is in a state of raised eyebrows.
Michele Bachmann's claim that she has "never gotten a penny" from a family farm that's been subsidized by the government is at odds with her financial disclosure statements. They show tens of thousands in personal income from the operation.
And, on a less substantive note, she flubbed her hometown history when declaring "John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa," and "that's the kind of spirit that I have, too," in running for president.
The actor was born nearly 150 miles away. It was the serial killer John Wayne Gacy Jr. who lived, for a time, in Waterloo.
Those were among the latest examples of how the Minnesota congresswoman has become one to watch — for inaccuracies as well as rising support — in the Republican presidential race.
Did the Associated Press rip Joe Biden or Obama apart like this when they were presidential candidates?
Did PolitiFact highlight the litany of Obama gaffes? Did the Associated Press report on all the raised eyebrows Obama's idiotic comments have caused?
Good grief, Biden, the human gaffe/exaggeration/lie machine, is a heartbeat from the presidency!
What about Biden's "bomblets"? The list is endless.
Clearly, Michele Bachmann is being targeted for destruction. She's being dubbed a ditz.
In 2008, the lib media found success with their relentless attacks on Sarah Palin, and they're repeating the strategy.
It's extremely slimy.
I'm so sick of conservative women being marginalized.
Michele Bachmann is not a flake.

I'd call anyone who pegs the age of the earth at 5,000 years old a flake.
Such intolerance!
I'm perfectly tolerant of wrong-headed beliefs as long as they stay in the church, the home, the blog, the business... But as soon as it encroaches on the public domain and affects us all, my tolerance wears thin.
If people want to reject science, that's fine by me. But if they really want to stay consistent, they should also reject all the fruits of the science tree. The Amish, for example, have my respect. And they'll never try to perform gall bladder surgery on me.
Give me an example of how Bachmann's religious beliefs about Creation have "encroached on the public domain" in a threatening manner.
In her role as a public official, how have her personal religious beliefs affected us all in a negative way?
Why fear Creationism?
Shouldn't you embrace diversity of thought?
The fact is, unless one is a hermit, we all function and perform in some sort of public forum. We bring our beliefs and values with us, whatever they may be.
I don't think Bachmann should be considered a pariah because of her faith nor should she be dismissed as a flake.
You act as if she's a Creationist crusader and nothing more.
The fact is you're intolerant.
If she looks at all the evidence regarding the age of the earth, a fairly no-brainer issue, and concludes it's 5,000 years old because of blind faith, how can I possibly trust her to tackle more complicated scientific issues and make any sense of them whatsoever if they contradict her beliefs.
And if those beliefs have her believe we are living in end times, how can we trust her to care anything about the distant future, or that she won't try to "help things along" in the middle east. Nope, I'll stick with my contention that she's safe as long as she stays confined to her own little delusional world and she's not at the controls of anything that affects me or mine.
Speaking of "blind faith,"--why do evolutionists teach us in 3rd grade public school films that they base their THEORY on Radiocarbon dating, and in the same film tell us that it is not a reliable method of dating? Does that not raise a question to you about the validity of "millions and billions of years ago..."?
