I was catching up with Bachmann news today when I came across an Andy Birkey story in the Minnesota Independent about her involvement with a Christian punk-rock organization that fools schools into thinking their program is secular, then springs all kinds of wacky religious-right nonsense on their captive audiences. This is the money quote that sent my tinfoil-hat meter buzzing:
You can’t engage this kind of Crazy™. Trying just makes you part of her Samsara of Wacky™. There is absolutely nothing left to do with Michelle Bachmann except make fun of her.
(Founder Bradley Dean) says that the ministry is being targeted by the government because it tells the truth. On his April 11 radio program, he recalled an incident a week earlier which he claimed an employee of the ministry was chased by a helicopter.“There was a blue and white helicopter that flew down on top of her van as she was going to this [Wright County] Republican party convention. And then he swooped back down on her again.”
Bradlee said that helicopters frequently dive-bomb their tour bus with “helicopters flying up to the bus and pulling off.” He said, “What they are trying to do is criminalize the righteous.”
In the parlance of military fire missions, Bachmann is a soft target. That’s not because of her piety — it’s Teh Crazy™ that comes from her piety, and these insane friends she keeps. Here she is yesterday sounding out some bizarre theory that in-school clinics will turn into abortion field-trips:
You can’t engage this kind of Crazy™. Trying just makes you part of her Samsara of Wacky™. There is absolutely nothing left to do with Michelle Bachmann except make fun of her.
