Unmoderated Tag: Television Rating: Ok Hits: 59 Comments: 0 The Michele Bachmann Show on Election Night The Michele Bachmann Show on Election Night More at http://www.theuptake.org One of the undisputed stars of the Minnesota Republican Party was, and will remain to be, Michele Bachmann. Her penchant for outrageous comments coupled with a hard-right bent has earned her intense scrutiny from the media and strong support from Republican activists. With the results of her race against DFL and Independent endorsed candidate Elwyn Tinklenberg still in doubt Bachmann entered the ballroom floor relatively early in the evening to talk with a select few members of the media. Bachmann stopped to talk with former Minnesota Sen. Rudy Boschwitz and conservative talk show host Jason Lewis. Lewis appeared to suggest that if Bachmann had tied her controversial comments about Barack Obama and some of her congressional coleagues holding "anti-American" views to the KKK and individuals such as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) and Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney then more of the public would have understood. Sometime after midnight, Tinklenberg conceded and Bachmann delivered her acceptance speech to roaring approval. Minnesota GOP Chair Ron Carey was particularly fired up for the occasion. Many late polls had Bachmann trailing Tinklenberg. Nov 8, 2008 5:23 PM

With three days until the election, Sixth District Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) toured the St. Cloud VA Hospital along with the visiting Secretary of Veterans Affairs James Peake. The event was billed as official business for Bachmann but a group of veterans, who support Bachmann's DFL and Independence endorsed challeger Elwyn Tinklenberg, called on Bachmann's campaign to refund the tax payers and pay for the event with campaign money. After remarks by Sec. Peake and Congresswoman Bachmann, both were questioned about the timing and nature of the event. St. Cloud VA Public Affairs Officer Joan Vincent indicated that the event was scheduled six weeks ago by the Secretary's office and Bachmann stated her office put in the request for the visit several months ago.. Despite indicating that she would take questions once outside of the press conference, Bachmann avoided campaign-related questions from an Associated Press reporter. Bachmann and her staff boarded a bus for the short ride to the VA's main building to continue the tour. After stepping off of the bus Bachmann refused to comment on the veterans accusations. Less than two hours later, Bachmann held a campaign event a few miles away at the Minnesota GOP's St. Cloud Victory Office. Nov 2, 2008 11:21 PM

Bachmann Mobbed by Press after Debate There was no mystery as to who the media star was after two Minnesota Public Radio hosted congressional debates. In a chaotic scene, reporters crowded around 6th District Republican incumbent Rep. Michele Bachmann after her debate with DFL challenger Elwyn Tinklenberg. One Bachmann supporter proudly yelled to the press "she is a pitbull in lipstick!" Inside the lobby of MPR, a much more subdued scene had Tinklenberg taking questions from a gaggle if reporters for over ten minutes. By the time 2nd District Republican incumbent Rep. John Kline finished his debate with DFL challenger Steve Sarvi, most of the press had vanished. When approached by The UpTake, Rep. Kline refused to take questions. Oct 30, 2008 11:22 PM
Unmoderated Tag: Television Rating: No Votes Hits: 52 Comments: 0 Bachmann: Bachmann: "Not All Cultures Are Equal" More at http://www.theuptake.org. Rep. Michele Bachmann caught the national spotlight recently when she told MSNBC's Chris Mathews that Barack Obama "may have anti-American views." While Bachmann's statement may have come as a surprise to people outside of her home district in central Minnesota, she has a history of making statements that are inflammatory, controversial and requiring further explanation. Up until now, the most famous of those was her assertion that there was a plan already in place to partition Iraq and give half of it to Iran. She later said her comments had been "misconstrued", but did not elaborate. One comment that she has never explained was made in a debate she had while running for Congress the first time in November of 2005. Prompted by the rioting that was going on in France at the time, Bachmann said "not all cultures are equal, not all values are equal." and implied heavily that people of the Muslim faith had an inferior culture to that of the United States.
