Bachmann: It’s ‘interesting’ that the last swine flu outbreak also occurred under a ‘Democrat President.’

During an interview with PajamasTV today, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) falsely claimed that the last swine flu outbreak occurred under “another Democrat President, Jimmy Carter.” Bachmann, however, insisted she was not trying to blame either man for the outbreaks:

BACHMANN: I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under Democrat President Jimmy Carter. And I’m not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it is an interesting coincidence.

Watch it:

The only problem is that the last U.S. outbreak of swine flu did not begin under Carter. Rather, it began in February of 1976, when Republican Gerald Ford was president.

    I really wish someone could fire this woman. What an embarassment to any discussion, political or not!


  4. Xisithrus says:

    On August 20, 2007 Department of Agriculture officers investigated the outbreak of swine flu in Nueva Ecija

    Gee, who was president in 2007 Michele?

    Besides the fact that it occurred under Ford, what kind of idiot sees a connection between a virus and the pre—

    nevermind.


  6. KB says:

    Using the noun form of Democrat instead of the adjective, Democratic is really infuriating. I know that they do it on purpose, but man does it still get under my skin.


  7. Above the Clouds says:

    The GOP REALLY have NOTHING for America do they, Ms. Bachmann?


  8. Sandoz76 says:

    Ok, this makes sense you guys. Bachman and republicans think “interesting” is a synonym for “wrong”.

    This explains a ton.

    PS- I was born in February 1976. It was me! I cause swine flu. Booga booga rawr rawr!

    Bat$hit crazy she is!
    Bat$hit crazy.


  10. PJ says:

    Why does the media refuse to throw her lies and distortions back in her face? It’s like they are putting her out there to say crazy things just to start spreading lies. Call her on her BS or don’t let her speak on air.


  11. Xisithrus says:

    On February 5, 1976, an army recruit at Fort Dix said he felt tired and weak. He died the next day and four of his fellow soldiers were later hospitalized. Two weeks after his death, health officials announced that swine flu was the cause of death and that this strain of flu appeared to be closely related to the strain involved in the 1918 flu pandemic

    It was Gerald Fords [1974-1977] fault by Bachmann logic!!

  16. raynman says:

    It’s funny how you never see Bachmann’s quotes in any of the major newspapers in Minnesota. It’s almost as if they’re so ashamed of her, they won’t report on her, so most people don’t even know just how seriously crazy she is.


  17. had enough says:

    Minnesota – PLEASE vote in a decent rep in 2010. What an embarrassment Bachmann is for you.


  18. chiroptera toasterhead says:

    How is that interesting, exactly?

    Granted, there are many interesting things about an influenza outbreak – how the disease spreads, how the genes mutate, how it develops antigen resistance, that sort of thing. It’s quite a fascinating topic in terms of biology and behavioral science.

    But which President happened to be in the White House at the time? Not so much.


  19. livelongandprosper says:

    It’s quite a fascinating topic in terms of biology and behavioral science.

    And evolution too doncha know!


  20. One Thousand Billion says:

    Bachmann was the strange little girl in elementary school who didn’t have to be dared to pull her dress up over her head.

    And you have to wonder why with ALL of the documented warnings.

    So it was a military attack?

    I thought it was an interesting coincidence that 9/11 happened when we had a Republican president.

  34. ralph the wonder locust says:

    I find it interesting that it was back in the 1930s that the Depression broke out then under Republican President Herbert Hoover.

    The difference is, I DON’T find it a coincidence that major financial crises tend to break out under Republicans.


  35. Rosencrantz says:

    Wow. What a stupid cow. “I find it interesting that the last time Swine Flu outbreak it was under a Democrat. I’m NOT saying it is Obama’s fault. It’s jsut interesting that every time there is a Democratic President, a major disease pandemic scare seems to happen. Not that you should make any connection between these two very interesting things I am linking together for no reason.”

    If you aren’t trying to blame Obama or make any sort of connection, then what the frak do you find so interesting about your little nugget of info? Why bring it up or mention it at all? Seriously, what is so bloody interesting about that if you aren’t trying to make a connection and blame Democratic presidents.

    Personally, I find it interesting that every time there is a Republican President, the economy gets raped. Not that I’m blaming Bush. It’s just interesting. Oh, and it’s also interesting that the civil rights abuses and gross abuses of power we saw the past 8 years is similar to the propaganda tactics used in Nazi Germany. Not that there is any connection between between Bush and HItler. It’s just very interesting to make totally pointless comparisons as if to imply there is a connection there really isn’t.

    Yup! It’s a perfect illustration of the evolutionary process……….

    Wait!! Bachmann’s right! Everyone knows evolution is a “Democrat plot”!

    A key symptom of dillusion is putting special significance on ordinary things and events. republicans are the party of the dilluded. They must never hold power again.

    This woman is really a moron.
    And to further demonstrate how out of touch is the GOP, they created, and gave her, a committee appointment.

  55. misscoleopteramolly says:

    oooo — can I play this game, too?

    I think it’s “interesting” that all of the top ten costliest hurricanes in this country happened while a Republican was president.

    Here’s the list — with hurricane, year, and who was President at the time:

    1. Katrina – 2005 – Bush (W)
    2. Andrew – 1992 – Bush (HW)
    3. Wilma – 2005 – Bush (W)
    4. Ike – 2008 – Bush (W)
    5. Charley – 2004 – Bush (W)
    6. Ivan – 2004 – Bush (W)
    7. Rita – 2005 – Bush (W)
    8. Hugo – 1989 – Bush (HW)
    9. Frances – 2004 – Bush (W)
    10. Agnes – 1972 – Nixon

    Notice that the top nine happened while the White House was occupied by somebody named Bush.

    But I insist I’m not trying to blame any of these men for these hurricanes.

    Not true. Since the sidereal rotation period of the Earth is actually 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.098 seconds, the Earth actually rotated 360.9829152 degrees in the past 24 hours.

    Which can only mean that the Democrats are taxing Father Time! Thanks President Obama! >:(


  63. Badger says:

    This swine flu situation is a Problem which THE GOVERNMENT can and should Address.

    Obama has …

    …Taken the problem seriously

    ….Appointed Competent People to deal with it

    ….Relied on SCIENCE for Answers

    …..Explained the Situation to the American People

    ….did NOT go on Vacation or cut Brush,

    So far…I’d give him high marks for restoring American’s faith in their Government.

Seriously, she is a reflection on them and she currently is reflecting an insane stupidity that is so irretrievably sophomoric and immature that it is baffling to me that this woman could even qualify to have a driver’s license, much less be a lawmaker in Congress. Please, can we get rid of this dingbat.

    This is how Republicans do science. Somebody oughtta put that genius on the energy committee.

    I love her “I’m not blaming them”. If that’s the case, then why did she find the need to say it in the first place.

    Michelle Bachman, the gift that keeps on giving. If I was an elder in the Republican party I would be doing everything in my power to shut her up. She, Cantor, Boner and Gingrich are the reasons why the Republican party lost 4% of it’s members in the last month and are driving their numbers down even further.


  79. freeman says:

    Is it me or does it seem as if Minnesota has been taken over by the lunatic fringe . Ever since the death of Paul Wellstone , coincidentally the most outspoken critic of the lead up to the Iraqi war we have been saddled with the likes of Norm Coleman and Michelle Bachmann .The state still doesn’t have a new senator !
    Is there a prize for being runner up to Texas as the looniest state in the nation ?

    Sort of like the last economic meltdown (the Great Depression) was under a Republican too.

    Just saying….


  82. herecomestheangst says:

    Why does Bachmann squeal with joy on TV at every chance she gets? Is she one of those piggies that sings as loud as she can in church, but is just tone deaf?

    Or does she remember the good times on the “bunny farm” when certain neighbors would pull and pat on her cotton tail for a dollar or five every night?


  83. WAYNEBRO says:

    If I were President Obama I’d call her out on this, publicly.

    She’s accusing the President of spreading Swine Flu, to what end is anybody’s guess.

    I’d call her out and tell her to either put up or shut up.

    Bachman is not even an adult. She represents everything that’s wrong with this country.


  84. Mathazar says:

    I wish these interviewers would also criticize these jerks every time they say “democrat party”.

    Of course they do it on purpose. Their purpose is to disrespect the Democratic party. But, they do it at their own peril. People are pretty disgusted with the Republicans and getting more and more so. They lost 4% of their members in the last month. By the time the 2010 election comes around, there will be no one who identifies with the Republican party.

    From the article:

    Wow, these bastards just keep on giving and giving…


  89. sscncturn64 says:

    Its amazing, the sht that comes out of these repugs mouths. They are so desperate that they will say or do anything to try and make dems look bad. They know that most Americans are behind President Obama and his policies. Its driving them up the wall and down the other side. Didnt some of her fellow repugs reject some of the stimulus money that was meant for treating a flu pandemic. Their done and they know it. Good riddance!!!

    Just as a reminder. Please forgive my home state. Crazy Shelly is an embarrassment to all who actually get to here her rants. Unfortunately, her base are not sophisticated people and the local media doesn’t report her bat scat.

    Even then, she almost blew it with her appearance on Harball last year. I just hope she comes up against an opponent with the resources and resolve to run strictly against her erratic personality and stunted intellect. And after the crap Norm Coleman is pulling to deny a seat to the DNC? I expect Ms Bachmann (InsaneR-Mn) will face a very well funded opponent.

    Wanna hear the punchline, kdgamergirl? Her husband is an, alleged, psychologist and self-proclaimed Christian counselor. Apparently he devotes his time to “praying away the gay” instead of getting his wife the help she so desperately needs.

    In fact, I have a feeling that, if either one of them wandered into a legitimate psychiatric health facility, they would be strapped down and medicated.


  113. Tired of being lied to says:

    “April 6, 1956: The day Michele Bachman was born …”

    AND, if you add up all the numbers in her birth date: 4+6+1+9+5+6, you get 31, which just happens to be Michele’s actual IQ.

    RUMSFELD!!!!!!

    In August 1974, he was called back to Washington to serve as transition chairman for the new president, Gerald R. Ford. He had been Ford’s confidant since their days in the House when Ford was House minority leader. Later in Ford’s presidency, Rumsfeld became White House Chief of Staff, where he served from 1974 to 1975. In October 1975, Ford reshuffled his cabinet in the Halloween Massacre. He named Rumsfeld to become the 13th U.S. Secretary of Defense; George H. W. Bush became Director of Central Intelligence. According to Bob Woodward’s 2002 book Bush at War, a rivalry developed between the two men and “Bush senior was convinced that Rumsfeld was pushing him out to the CIA to end his political career.

    From 1977 to 1985 Rumsfeld served as Chief Executive Officer, President, and then Chairman of G. D. Searle & Company, a worldwide pharmaceutical company based in Skokie, Illinois. During his tenure at Searle, Rumsfeld led the company’s financial turnaround, thereby earning awards as the Outstanding Chief Executive Officer in the Pharmaceutical Industry from the Wall Street Transcript (1980) and Financial World (1981). In 1985, Searle was sold to Monsanto. Rumsfeld is believed to have earned around $12 million from this sale.[26]

    And I’m not blaming this on President Ford, Regan or Bush I+II, I just think it is an interesting coincidence that republicans are in office whenever things like this happen.

    “I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under Democrat President Jimmy Carter. And I’m not blaming this on President Obama…”

    ****************************************************

    Not explicitly, perhaps…but obliquely or subconsciously? I think she quite probably is! If memory serves, that’s a old debating-team battle strategy…trying to make your point by stating in no uncertain terms that this is not what you’re going to do or intend to do at all.

    Frankly, I think she’s trying to create the same sort of insidious meme which which we saw the Republicans try (and fail) to create with Obama before the election with all of their “Barack Hussein Obama” nonsense and the like. If she were to accuse Obama openly of being responsible for the emergence of swine flu, she’d only succeed in making herself look completely unhinged — but I don’t think that she’s above trying to plant a subconscious seed in people’s minds that there must be something horribly wrong with having a Democrat in the White House since that’s the only time that potentially lethal flu viruses have emerged. Of course, she conveniently chose to omit the rather pertinent fact that the influenza virus mutates very rapidly and that a potentially lethal strain could theoretically emerge at virtually any time — but then again, since her previous comments suggest a rather dismal lack of knowledge when it comes to science, perhaps we should attribute that to ignorance on her part. As for the fact that she misattributed the 1976 outbreak to Carter, well…the distortion or misrepresentation of the facts is precisely one of the things which makes me suspect her of trying to create a meme. She’s also very conveniently forgetting or overlooking the fact that there were concerns about the emergence of bird flu while George W. Bush was in office and concerns that it would spread to the US. Once again, neoconservative logic proves to be nothing more than a verbal souffle or popover — a puffy shell with little or nothing of much substance inside.

  135. prius04 says:

    Actually, Bachmann is kind of accurate. Just look at what has happened to the Republican party. Eisenhower, Rockefeller, and others would be appalled at the current far right fringe ideology that has taken a hold of their party. And the Democratic party has also moved far to the right such that it’s now just a bit right of center. Gerard Ford was a bit critical of his party before he died, though his generation was imbued with loyalty so his criticism was never that harsh. But all and all, he would much more easily fit into the current right sided Democratic party than the fringe wacko far right of the current Republican party.

    So based upon what has happened, people like Bachmann probably see people like Ford as Democrats. But it’s a reflection on how much the 2 parties have changed. Both have moved way to the right.

    Remember, the top tax rate during the Eisenhower administration was in the 90% range.

    Frankly it’s just clumsy.

    If you want to put the idea in peoples’ heads of associating Democrats with swine flu, you don’t say “I find it interesting…” and then follow it with “and I’m not blaming this on President Obama.”

    What you say is, “It’s been a long time since we’ve had a swine flu attack; I think the last time was during the Carter administration…” and leave it at that. Makes it sound like you’re bringing up Carter as a historical era marker rather than another Democratic President.

    Yup, yup. … she want to see what the landscape looks like. She wants to see who yells the loudest.

  151. lawschooldropout says:

    I think what is being missed is that she may be playing to her religious base. Evangelicals believe in this notion of life being a battle of good v. evil. This is why you here talk radio folks like Hannity mentioning evil all the time, evil is the enemy and our enemy’s are evil. War and death is justified when you fight evil. It is the purpose of the Obama is the antichrist “rumor.” It makes him evil and justifies whatever battles may come. The related twist Mrs. Bachman is pursuing is the notion of signs. It is a wink-wink-nod-nod planting of a seed that God isn’t happy (with President Antichrist), and is sending plagues; the earth will open up and swallow us whole (Volcano’s/Earthquakes). Of course, Katrina can be distinguished under this logic because it wasn’t one of the seven plagues. I would be willing to bet $100 that on July 22, Matt Drudge puts up a picture of the solar eclipse. I can hardly wait to see what they say when the locusts hatch in Australia this fall.

I will also say, that, we nearly got what we deserved recently and just about could have received the intellectual peer of Ms. Bachmann when we somehow had the notion that Sarah Palin might have electable qualities. Why a supposedly intelligent, sensible person would choose to allow herself to record and have released for broadcast a disturbing and pointless (not to mention adolescent) remark such as this is incomprehensible.

    ____________________________________________________________

    Whenever a politician says something that’s obviously incorrect, we tend to pounce on it gleefully if that politician is from the “other side”, and defend it if that politician is on our team.

    Instead, we should examine what was said and decide if it was the kind of misspeak we are all capable of making at one time or another, or if it shows ignorance on the part of the speaker, or if the speaker is just lying through his/her teeth.

    A misspeak is something incorrectly said where we KNOW the speaker knows better. Examples would be Obama saying he’s visited 57 states (we know he meant to say 47, and we also know he knows how many states there are), or Biden claiming that FDR went on television to talk to the American people (we know he meant to say “radio”, and that he knows FDR and television weren’t around at the same time).

    Lying through one’s teeth happens a lot, too. When Hillary Clinton claimed she landed in Bosnia in the middle of sniper fire, we know it wasn’t ignorance — she had to have known she didn’t have to take cover from sniper fire upon arrival. But spinning a fanciful tale doesn’t count as a misspeak.

    But when Bachmann does her Emily Litella impersonation concerning carbon dioxide or prattles on about re-education camps for children, I figure it’s ignorance at work — coupled with the fact that she probably only gets her briefings from ultra rightwing alarmists who will say anything.

    If it was anyone else who tried to make a connection between swine flu outbreaks and who was president at the time, I would chalk it up to desperation. But with Bachmann, I’m starting to think that yes, she really IS this stupid.

    Doodlebug, if you want to go further consider about the Rumsfeldmeister. Under ethics laws he was required to unload his stock in Gilead. He simply refused and held onto anywhere from $8,000,000 to $39,000,000 in stock during his entire tensure at DOD. The stock, which was priced at $7.45 a share when he went to the Pentagon, ended up at $67.00 a share when he quit in ‘06. During this time the government placed its’ first orders of Tamiflu (which performed poorly in trial runs, by the way) starting at $58 million and then eventually a $1 billion dollar purchase from Gilead. Donny tied the Senate Ethics committee in knots, getting extensions of 3-6 months, which is very rare for some one that high up in the government. Gilead was also successful in getting the government to grant them an “exclusive” patent for AIDS treatment as well.

    Of course since none of this has anything to do with $62,000.00 in a land deal in Arkansas, getting some oral sex from an intern, hanging out with an aging ’60’s radical or a slightly over the top pastor I guess there’s rally no scandal so I’m sorry to waste everyone’s time.
