Bachmann to speak at far-right How To Take Back America conference.

Until this year, the liberal group Campaign for America’s Future held an annual conference called Take Back America. Following the resounding victory for progressive change this past November, the conference was re-named America’s Future Now. But the Take Back America moniker didn’t stay dead for long. A coalition of far-right groups, led by Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum, is putting together a “How to Take Back America” conference in September. RightWingWatch reports that Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has confirmed that she will speak at the conference. Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee is also speaking at the conference.

    We already took back America, and scum like you Republic Fascists lost, get used to it.


  2. Zooey says:

    I’m making popcorn. Who wants some!?


  3. Dawn1954 says:

    it should be called How the Republican shrewed up America, a how they can do it again.

    We Democrats needs to be in Office for long time to fix this Country up, if they gain control, well we could be looking at some high taxes, but tax breaks for the filthy rich…


  4. ElBruce says:

    Oh, this ought to deliver some great quotes. I hope she brings her tinfoil hat.


  5. Frugalchariot says:

    I was born and raised in Minnesota. I’m so ashamed. Please, world, accept my humble apologies — Bachmann is obviously a descendant of immigrants and everyone knows what THAT means!


  6. dasm says:

    Bachmann is the LAST person to ever speak at a conference about America– everything she says & does goes against the Constitution. Plus her inane/insane comments prove over & over she is a total idiot. And apparently we have more coming!


  7. dumbstruck says:

    America is not for the taking.

    Obviously used in this concept “take” is a word associated with greed.


  8. katy says:

    … the conference was re-named America’s Future Now. But the Take Back America moniker didn’t stay dead for long…

    oh those dems… always thinking ahead…

    jeez… should’ve kept that name…

    no doubt there will be a few good intentioned progs heading over to the repug event… with luck, they’ll figure it out and take notes for the REAL work ahead…

    we obviously didn’t really “take back america”… yet.


  9. realist says:

    If they’re going to try to take my America back from me after how hard I worked to regain it last fall they’ll have to pry my cold dead hands…


  10. spencers mom says:

    That’s exactly what the wingnuttery wants to do… take America back.

    Back to just after their families successfully immigrated.

    Back to when women were breeders and housekeepers, but deferred to their men for the big decisions.

    Back to when one man could earn enough to buy a house in the burbs and keep the little lady home.

    And if they can’t have Leave it to Beaver, they’ll take going back to after birth control (woohoo! sex!) but before abortions. Or at least back to the wonderful days of St. Ronnie.

    They certainly don’t want to live in this era of the internets or youtube because the whole world can see what lying hypocrits they are.

    PEACE

    Speaking of Crazy Shelly. Look what I just found on DumpBachamnn.com. She taped a message for teabaggers and actually made a good point. We do need to band together and send a message to Washington. However what I think what we should call for is the immediate censure of this batscat b!tch.

  12. Gregor Samsa says:

    Take America back from whom, exactly?

    And how about coming up with a coherent, thoughtful policy instead of the usual bigoted, scare tactics? But then they wouldn’t be reichwingers anymore if they did…


  13. pete says:

    I have a feeling that Crazy Shelly would like to go back even farther, spencers mom. Any time where they burned witches would do.


  14. The Young Republican says:

    50 years ago there was no such thing as a liberal. America was much better off back then.


  15. fletc3her says:

    With Bachmann at the helm they can’t help but succeed!


  16. hanshiro the antlion says:

    Is TP sponsored, in part, by the GOP? Are they getting subsidized for every republican imbecile they mention or quote?

    Just rename the site, “Republicans Say The Darndest Things.”

    I’m sure real progressive issues are secondary to Joe, Sarah and Michelle…

    Oh, hey…Rumsfeld sneezed in a distinctly ‘non-Obama’ way! *gasp* Can’t have enough useless snark threads!

    That’ll get us single payer…


  17. wedgewood says:

    Palin won’t be far behind. Perhaps this will be the venue in which Schlafly officially passes the “torch to a new generation.” What a travesty that will be.


  18. pete says:

    This has nothing to do with politics, stupid trolls. The issue is that there is an insane extremist who has a vote, and voice, in Congress. She’s a pathological liar and an agitator of the worst kind. If you cared a rip about your country you would be as appalled as anyone that this awful woman is in Congress.


  19. The Young Republican says:

    Hey hanshiro why don’t you go back to dailykos or huffpo if you don’t like this republican smear site….


  20. realist says:

    The Young Republican Says: 50 years ago there was no such thing as a liberal. America was much better off back then.

    Ignorance is bliss and you can’t fix stupid. Go google Adlai Stevenson, Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and Henry Wallace, for a start.


  21. Badger says:

    “Take back America”??!?

    Maybe Native Americans already have a patent on it.


  22. pete says:

    I’ve said it before, hanshiro. As a Minnesotan who lives just outside her District I am thrilled to see her get any exposure. Just in the last few weeks, especially since her census rant, have finally decided to run two less than complimentary op/eds. But only two.

    We concerned Minnesotans need help. I continue to ask TP to run stories on her and beg the readers to do what their conscience demands. I suggest writing your Reps and demanding censure. I do most every time she speaks.

    Thanks.

    The Young Republican Says:

    Why don’t you just admit you have a crush on the right side wingnutettes (Bachmann and Palin)? At least you would be telling the truth. You don’t get out much, do you? Pity…


  24. hanshiro the antlion says:

    20. The Young Republican Says: …republican smear..

    That’s a tad redundant isn’t it?


  25. Pseudonym says:

    “Take it back”? From who by who? Take it from the “black man” for the “white man”? Is there any more proof that this is a race thing? The fact that they changed the name of the conference shows that someone saw the racist implications and convinced them to change it. Too late, however.

  29. MCMetal says:

    What’s this brainless banshee gonna’ say , anyway ?

    That taking back America is going to be accomplished by questioning the patriotism of fellow Congress-people and our president-elect ?

    Yeah , you go with that Batshitcrazymann………..

  31. eyeswideopen1 says:

    I thought we already took it back? Jan 20 to be exact.

    What exactly are these nutjobs trying to take back?


  32. evangenital says:

    Bachmann should retitle her presentation to “How To Take America Back To the
    1870’s.”


  33. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    some friendly advice for batshit carzy bachmann,

    Talking crazy paranoid shit isn’t the way to “take back” anything. it’s a good way to have people start to avoid you and your crazy causes.


  34. evangenital says:

    Why isn’t Young Repiggie enlisting in the military to fight in Afghanistan?

    This is a question that Young Repiggie steadfastly refuses to answer.


  35. Frugalchariot says:

    The Young Republican: 50 years ago there was no such thing as a liberal. America was much better off back then.

    Where you been, boy? In today’s metric, even JFK’s friendly competitor Barry Goldwater would be considered liberal-leftist!

    I guess they look on me sort of as a Socialist.” ~Barry M. Goldwater, Larry King Live interview, 1993 (commenting on his non-appearance before the Republican National Convention in 1992)

    And please take a moment to explain just how it was that America was “better off” during the McCarthy ‘era’? You remember, right? That span of time when anyone ‘liberal’ (not nuts, i.o.w.) was virtually an automatic commie?

    Recall the words of George Washington (you have heard of him, maybe?):

    “As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.”


  36. MCMetal says:

    Bachmann will simply suggest they rig another presidential election or 2 ………..Like they did in 2000 and 2004………….


  37. Luis Chapulin M says:

    A coalition of far-right groups, led by Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum, is putting together a “How to Take Back America” conference in September.

    Step One: Thou shalt not bugger thy coworker’s wife.

    Step Two: Thou shalt not bugger thy congressional pages either.

    Step Three: “Christian values” and “Kill all foreigners” don’t go hand in hand. Really.


  38. eyeswideopen1 says:

    The Young Republican Says:

    50 years ago there was no such thing as a liberal. America was much better off back then.

    Somewhere along the line reality became an inconvenient truth so they called it ‘liberal’ and told the uneducated christian church fold it was a bad thing. Not that much different from the dark ages really.


  39. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    evangenital Says:
    “Why isn’t Young Repiggie enlisting in the military to fight in Afghanistan?”

    because much like his idols tub-o-lard rush sean the midget hannity and dick cheney, they talk a lot of smack about loving this country but he’s a pussy when it comes to putting their money where their mouths are. that’s why he’s not serving his country.

  41. Lefty Liberal says:

    I just saw a picture of a sign that apparently was in New York this weekend. I think it was directed at Sarah Palin, but could also be pointed at Michele Bachmann. It read:

    “The secret of the demagogue is to make herself as stupid as her audience so they believe they are a clever as she is.”


  42. grindermonkey says:

    Young Republican, you should sign up for one of the workshops at “America’s future now” and learn to polish your delivery a bit. If you want to be a propagandist and sell your lies effectively, spend more time watching Fox News. You might also like to read about dramaturgy before getting your feet too wet. You might also reconsider your handle; it’s difficult to imagine that a YOUNG Republican would have a reliable viewpoint about 50 year old political intrigue. If you are genuinely curious about that sort of thing, become a Democrat.


  43. Xisithrus says:

    The Young Republican Says:

    Igmo. Capitalisms success is driven, in large part, by consumerism. And consumerism is playing on ones desires for profits.


  44. Mathazar says:

    So, does anyone think the “english only” crowd will manage to
    spell conference correctly this time ?

    Or will they play it safe and just call it an ass-embly.


  45. LiberalVoter says:

    Jesus was a liberal.


  46. eastcoastprogressive says:

    I’m saddened by what I once considered a must read blog. It’s become Crooks and Liars lite here, the progressive news I seek is elsewhere. Instead of “Think Progress”, a better name for this blog would be What are Conservoturds doing today? Also the trolls here are worse than almost anywhere I’ve blogged, you should have a site monitor to delete those offenders on the spot. I’m done, I couldn’t care less what some idiot wingnut like Bachmann or that plumber filth is doing or saying, I have better things to do. We Won!!! Time to find some real progressive news, bye now.


  47. Pennsylvanianne says:

    Young Republican says:
    50 years ago there was no such thing as a liberal. America was better off back then.

    You mean back when schools were segregated? When there were separate drinking fountains for whites and blacks? When if you wanted to go to college your parents had better be able to pay in full because there were no student loans? When women stayed in abusive marriages because few women worked and could support themselves outside the home? When women who were raped and impregnated could not get an abortion and sometimes died at the hands of illegal abortionists?
    Yeah, things were so much better 50 years ago!
    Actually, there were liberals 50 years ago. They were the legislators who approved the New Deal, which included the WPA and CCC. Thank God for those programs, which helped lift my ancestors out of the poverty of the Great Depression, which Republican President Herbert Hoover did not one thing to alleviate. Thank you, FDR!

    PEACE

    Exactly… may I add…

    And back to illegal, back room abortions where both the fetus and mother died.

    Or the self-abortion by the mother using drain cleaner, soda-pop, coathangers, etc. resulting in unintentional suicides and death of the fetus too!!

    Oh, except the rich girls who go to the hospital for a “female procedure” like in the 1950’s and before. They got their abortions in a hospital where the well paid doctor would write up a “DNC” while everyone else suffered in prison or the hospital or just plain old dies at home alone and bleeding to death or worse…

    And they thing, “One less poor person…one less minority!!!!!!!!! AND THEIR BABY TOO!!!!!!”

    Pro-life is pro-racism and pro-classism and a pro-mysogynist position pushed by the elite, white male (who dominates their wife) and is strictly applicable to the poor in thier world… just like “the good old days.”


  51. Cats r Flyfishn says:

    No. Not at all. It’s going to be very serious.
    In fact, Bimbo Bachmann has even challenged Failin’ Palin to a mud-wrestling match. It can’t get much more serious than that!


  57. KayInMaine says:

    It should be renamed, “How To Hijack America Using An Armed Militia To Force Right Wing Ideologies Down The Throats of Rational Americans”.


  58. pags2 says:

    The title “Take Back America” is typical siege mentality that allows the neocons to question the legitimacy of Obama’s election. They would like their followers to believe that this election was stolen from the neocons. It is just code for discrimination because they cannot accept the result of a democratic process that made a black man president.

    What exactly is the going rate for a translator who can interpret batshit crazy drivel ?


  62. hormiga brava chavez says:

    I see the rightwingnut fringe has been busy lately. Any function involving Bachmann is going to be full of wingnuttery nonsense. This would be funny if most of these wingnuts weren’t like rabid dogs with guns.

    Michelle Bachmann and Jesus made apple brown betty last night.

    Can you imagine the thread that would create!

    Just too funny!


  65. hormiga brava chavez says:

    I wish these wingnuts luck trying to figure out how to take America back! Thank goodness these rascist tools are in the minority. It will be another rally for rascist Jeezis freaks with Bachmann as their leader.


  66. green says:

    Take back America from who? The majority of Americans?


  67. mitchinaz says:

    So Schlafly’s Eagle Forum is one of about a dozen different organizations that is co-hosting this thing. One of the others is called Wall Builders! I kid you not, there is a pro-Christian organization that actually calls itself Wall Builders.

    I guess this doesn’t surprise me. In the era of gated communities, a group that seemingly wants to wall itself off from the rest of America sounds just about right. It’s a good thing that Al Franken has a job as Senator, because these wingnuts are going to be putting the satirists out of business.


  68. NinerFan says:

    The Young Republican: “50 years ago there was no such thing as a liberal. America was much better off back then.”

    Unbelievable. Proof positive that young republicans are second-rate minds. Hey, stupid. 50 years ago we had a Republican President named Ike. He’d be drummed out of your party today for being more liberal than Bill Clinton. The top marginal tax rate was 90%. Most republicans agreed with Ike that you would have to be crazy to be against something like Social Security. Yeah, things were different back then, but not the way you think. There were a lot fewer morons like you.


  69. NinerFan says:

    If they really want to take the country back, they’re going to have to win some elections.


  70. evangenital says:

    Young Repiggie spends too much time fantasizing about Ayn Rand’s theories.

    The little dear never has had to live in the real world, and certainly has no intention of backing up his rhetoric with actions. He refuses to enlist for military service in Afghanistan, one of the repiggie wars his beloved Bush/Cheney started.

    FDR was a true liberal in the best sense of the word. My now-dead parents often expressed gratitude for FDR’s presidency because they were young adults at the time of the Great Depression. They remember bank failures, massive homelessness, tremendous unemployment and the fury of the ultra-rich against FDR.

    Ayn Rand makes for interesting classroom chats, but her philosophy just can’t make it in the real world.

    Too many privileged young holy rollers attempt to blend her Objectivism with evangelical dogma. It’s like trying to mix oil and water.

    Many who claim to be Libertarians are not. They are just right-wing holy rollers who don’t want to pay any taxes.


  71. green says:

    The United States of America was founded by liberals – it was the conservatives amongst them, those who wanted to remain a British colony, that joined the British occupation. Young republicant doesn’t know American history which means he hasn’t reached the eleventh grade. Or he is a true testament to the dumbing down of America.

    Well, young republican wasn’ born yet, so in that respect, yeah we were better off.


  74. Bobwurst says:

    Back when Vermont was fighting to be the first state in the union to have civil unions for same sex couples, the wingnuts in the state (yes, there are wingnuts in Vermont, really) started a still born movement called “take back Vermont” and the progressives countered with the “Take Vermont Forward” movement. Let’s take America forward folks. The repukes can come along, or move to texas and secede.


  75. The Moderate Squad says:

    The Young Republican Says: 50 years ago there was no such thing as a liberal. America was much better off back then

    OK, if you are a “young” reopublican, how the hell would you know what America was like 50 years ago? Better just shut up and let the grown-ups talk…

    I get so tired of the ’50s myth the neoCons are always bringing up, a Utopian America that never existed. Racism, McCarthyism, sexism – it was great if you were white, wealthy and male, but if not the Constitution was more an abstract ideal taught in civics classes than reality. You can pretend that nobody was gay, nobody did drugs, nobody got lynched, nobody was poor, nobody ever died from a botched back-alley abortion (hell, the neoCons like to pretend nobody even had sex in the ’50s), but that idyll NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENED.


  76. The Moderate Squad says:

    Frugalchariot Says: Recall the words of George Washington (you have heard of him, maybe?):

    “As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.”

    Frugal, what an awesome reminder for the neoCons revisionists of what the brains behind the founding of America really thought…


  77. Bobwurst says:

    Mod Squad, but to TYR that’s fine and dandy. He’s an upper middle class white guy who needs the preferential treatment his race, class and gender “earned” back in the 50’s to be ANYTHING today. This punk is a frat rat at some red state multidirectional college with dim hopes for the future because he has to compete on a field that, while still not level is much more level than his dad ever had to deal with. He’s a loser, and he knows it, but rather than actually work to get ahead, he whines.


  78. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    I find it amazing that any American could think that fifty years ago there was no such thing as a liberal in America. That would be a perfect example of someone who is so ignorant of US history, that he ought to be prevented from posting comments anywhere on the internet. Perhaps every comment such a person makes, on any blog, should automatically have attached at the end, “Warning: This person shold not be taken seriously.” That’s just IMHO.


  79. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    Speaking of Crazy Michelle Bachmann, she has inspired me again to write another song parody about her.


  80. okie dokie says:

    If Michelle Bachmann is authoring the talking points for the wingnut media mouths to fall in line with, well, things may just take care of themselves.

    In addition, you wrote you wanted to give President Obama a “nice drink of water” which signified waterboarding at best and following the KKK tradition of drowning black men at worst.

    You should really stop using the Internet. The FBI monitors hate sites like OW, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they had a file on you.


  93. captfoster says:

    Why not invite Sarah Palin and Boss Limbaugh to the party as well…

    Heck, why stop there. They can make it an open invitation to the tens of dozens of teabaggers that went out across America on April 15th, I’m sure most of them have little to do…?

    If the right-wing thinks that this country will ever allow another right-wing nut-job to ever have an elected anything ever again anywhere in this country…

    Near as I can tell Michelle may well have spewed her stupid just enough to influence the people of her state to ‘not’ fill out the census form next year which may well cost her, her job. Any chance that will be mentioned at this little gathering of small minds?

    “Please God,” they’re saying, “It’s our only shot. Let us get hit really hard. I don’t care how many people get killed–just so long as it hurts the Democrats.”

    That’s patriotism, winger-style.

    New Republican:
    >50 years ago there was no such thing as a liberal. America was much better off back then.<

    Well, Eisenhower was the President. The last Republican who wasn’t out to ream the country for his corporate handlers. The guy who warned about the very cancer on the country today (the military/industrial complex). Too bad Nixon/Reagan/Bush was waiting in the wings. That’s when the “need” began in earnest. But there’s always been liberals, pal. This guy Jesus you all like to beat us over the head with was one.

    Bachmann – isn’t she running for president or something?

    Republicans Love Facts Says:

    Couldn’t find anything on OW, ay? No hate?

    “Couldn’t find?” Hardly. I didn’t bother going to Olbermann Watch because that wasn’t the challenge. You said:

    Republicans Love Facts Says:

    Find one death wish from an anti-olbermann poster.

    So I found multiple death wishes from you, an anti-Olbermann poster.

    Now I could gloat about you being wrong, yet again, but instead I’ll repeat my friendly advice. You’ve made a number of threats over the past several months including a threat against President Obama. Several posters have saved evidence of these threats, and while I’m not the type to get involved in this sort of thing, others may have already sent that evidence to the authorities.

    You should be careful.
