Bachmann Claims Anti-Health Reform Rally Was ‘Organic,’ ‘Nothing That We Planned’

Last Friday on Fox News, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) announced that she was organizing an anti-health reform rally on Capitol Hill, calling on Americans “literally by the busload to come to Washington D.C.” to protest reform. The next day, Bachmann summoned everyone to “get off the couch, get in your car, get a van together, get a bus together, but get here!” “We’re going to have a big party,” she said.

Around 4,000 right-wing activists showed up on Capitol Hill yesterday to protest reform. Last night on Fox News, Bachmann inflated the attendance numbers drastically. She also tried to paint the event as entirely grassroots, despite admitting that she had organized it:

BACHMANN: Today people told me they heard that call out on your show on Friday night, and they immediately started contacting other people. And this was totally word of mouth. This was nothing that we organized, nothing that we planned. We didn’t order one bus, one carload. Nothing. Complete word of mouth. And estimates are anywhere between 20 and 45,000 people had assembled. [...]

And also this absolutely outstanding grouping of people that we had today at the Capitol. This is organic. It was a meet up. It was spontaneous.

Watch it:

Bachmann’s claim is laughable. Aside from her leadership in organizing the protest, the corporate front group Americans For Prosperity helped coordinate. AFP mobilized about 40 buses to bring activists to DC, with AFP staffers standing at their designated bus drop off point near the Capitol, handing out signs, directions, talking points, petitions, and donuts to protesters. Moreover, notorious astroturf group FreedomWorks got involved in the action as well:

The protesters were fueled — literally and figuratively — by lobbying organizations like Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks, the groups behind the August town hall protests and “tea party” events. Freedomworks promoted this week’s event on their Web site DontKillGrandma.com with recommendations for protest tactics.

Moreover, AFP hosted Bachmann on a conference call the day before the rally to discuss their “House Call.”

“So you’re organizing and asking people to come meet you on the steps of the capital,” Fox host Sean Hannity asked Bachmann last Friday after her announcement. “Thursday at noon,” she said, “You can go to MicheleBachmann.com for more information.”

    Bachmann is not only stupid she is a liar. This is not a new development


  2. AMcG312 says:

    4,000 people? If that’s the best she can do, we’ve no worries.


  3. IgnoranceIsNotBliss says:

    Wow. I need to sit down. That was some serious spin going on.


  4. Bob says:

    I can believe 20 people showed up, but 45,000 would’ve had to include a near-by football game getting out.


  5. Leftside Annie says:

    Good grief! Apparently it isn’t enough that Batshit Bachmann is an insane, stupid, America-hating traitor – she’s also a bald-faced liar.


  6. The Dogfather says:

    She’s right — it was organic. I could tell because it smelled like bullsh!t over near the Capitol yesterday…


  7. Dr. Hussein Matt says:

    How exactly do 4,000 people “spontaneously” meet up? Is she really this friggn’ stupid?


  8. tom says:

    Yup. It was “organic” all right. Most mobs are.


  9. EmTee says:

    So she’s a liar, as well as f’in crazy.


  10. Dr. Hussein Matt says:

    On G. Gordon Liddy’s radio show, producer Franklin Raff, who was on the ground at the rally, told guest host Joseph Farah that the crowd is “just as big or bigger than” the 9/12 rally, which Raff estimated “at about a million.

    Teabaggers, I’m embarrassed for you. Really.


  11. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    And estimates are anywhere between 20 and 45,000 people had assembled. [...]
    ____________

    Somewhere between 20 and 45,000?

    Quite a point spread there, Shelley…


  12. A Patriot Acting says:

    “Bachmann Claims Anti-Health Reform Rally Was ‘Organic’”

    I think she meant ‘orgasmic’ ’cause nothing gets Bachmann all juicy like an ignorant pack of teabaggers clinging to every bit of word salad that falls from her lying maw.


  13. hellinabucket says:

    The 20,000 to 45,000 were not people but personalities. Bachmann herself accounted for 17.


  14. barfly says:

    Bachmann Claims Anti-Health Reform Rally Was ‘Organic,’

    Fertilized by lobbyist-paid bullsh*t…


  15. P.D. says:

    You know what? I’m at the point where I honestly believe the Repug Party has really gone insane. After years in power, they had what they wanted and they lost and they can’t handle it. They literally will clutch at any inane argument, any conspricy theory, any bald face untruth and warp it to fit their needs. From ACORN to Obama is a secret Muslim to the Swine flu vaccine is a way to harm you. They cannot blame themselves for thier own mistakes. They are constantly making up Boogie-men. All so they can shed themselves of any responsiblity and blame. No wonder people won’t admit their Repugs. They are too embarrassed.


  16. Xisithrus says:

    The buses just showed up out of nowhere and people fell out!


  17. zuch says:

    The early FauxSnooze reports and videos and the claims that the AFP hired buses and all are just lies and misinformation being spread by Commie fascist thuggish pimps like ACORN and SEIU to discredit hard-working people that have a couple free days to go to Washington entirely of their own accord and initiative (and our pin-up idol Shelly). It’s time we started locking up those Commie fascist mooslim liars up….

    Cheers,


  18. Reefdancer123 says:

    They just lie and lie in their echo chamber of Faux Snooze


  19. Fred says:

    It’s pretty clear that without lies this movement dies.


  20. EnnuiDivine says:

    Sure it was organic. Those 40 AFP buses were free-range and grown without pesticides or hormones.

    It’s not their warped ideology that makes these people so deranged (well, not entirely, anyway); it’s that they believe their own spin…


  21. PatrioticLiberalChristian says:

    Youse tell ‘em my Meeshell! Why, lass Fridee, I jes jumped off’n my Lazy-Boy, grabbed the phone outta my gabby ol’ lady’s grubby hands an ordered me and my buddies a bus to takes us to Warshington, DC for this here meets up. An I gots a company to makes us some damn purty signs tellin’ this half-breed presdent to keeps his gummit hands off’n me and my ol’ lady’s Medicare. An I gots my Constitutional rights to be plumb happy ’bout what I did. Mr. Boehner telled me.


  22. Virtual Pebble says:

    Michelle Bachmann, proving once again that she’s batshit crazy and a liar, but adding the distinction now of not being able to count. That’s why she isn’t practicing law with that find upstanding Juris Doctor from The Oral Roberts Institute for Taking Money From Rubes and Vocational High School; she couldn’t properly count her billable hours.

    That’s OK though. She got organic right; there were some carbon based life forms out there somewhere on the mall; trees, grass, etc. Also a lot of zombies with heads full of rocks.


  23. PatrioticLiberalChristian says:

    Oh, and I hopes I gets on FOX teevee.


  24. lux says:

    I mean they just have no shame. After announcing to EVERYONE… about the buses – they straight faced say ‘it was organic’… un f’ing believable. With photos showing 4,000 – they say 45,000..

    why didn’t they just go for 50 million?


  25. glogrrl says:

    Further proof she is delusional.


  26. slappy magoo says:

    To add sucky insult to sucky injury, THEY know they’re lying, WE know they’re lying and THEIR SUPPORTERS know they’re lying. The lies are akin to “dog whistle” comments. They’re telling the lies to piss off the liberals, which pleases their base.


  27. Lunaluz says:

    Michelle bald face lies and no one is suppose to call her on it? I remain unstunned by it, the pubs seem to be playing to the divorced from reality crowd. Pubs just have the crazies now and they will not let them go. The pub party of no keeps sliding deeper into the abyss….lets wave buh bye….


  28. glogrrl says:

    #24….actually some of their pundits claimed it was
    1 MILLION! Talk about un f**n’-believable!


  29. AIO says:

    Bachmann, FOX, Dick Armey and Righty Talk Radio did everything but order pizza for those Tea-bagging fools.


  30. Virtual Pebble says:

    @ 22. Damn, did I write “… find upstanding …”. I meant ‘fine upstanding’ although it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that Crazy Shelley found her JD diploma in a crackerjack box or wrapped around a piece of bubble-gum.

  34. Purple State says:

    Let’s clarify what “organic” means for the good Congresswoman.

    “Organic” refers to people directly affected by something asking for change in the community. One person talks to one person, those people talk to two people, and so on…

    To have one person announce to the world through a GOP-run news/opinion station that they will be holding a protest…that’s not “organic”.

    That’s “styrofoam”.

    That’s not the sowing of seeds in the masses of discontent. That’s a politician and a think-tank squeezing out followers like a Play-Doh factory. That’s the appeal of a bus ride, free donuts, and ten seconds on TV.

    That’s fake. Don’t tell us it’s “organic”.


  35. Xisithrus says:

    When will they realize with the advent of the internet they cant lie thru the media and expect people to believe it?


  36. missmolly says:

    So Bachmann expects us to believe that 4,000 people just “spontaneously” decided to come to the Capitol yesterday to protest health care reform? How stupid does she think we are? And why is she lying through her teeth when she doesn’t have to? Habit?

    Look, even the grassiest of grassroots events depend on SOME organization. There’s nothing wrong with that. I have been involved in a number of protests and demonstrations in my life and they were always organized, although usually at a local level and on a shoestring budget.

    It’s even OK if large donors and national groups get involved, too. Groups like CORE funded and organized plenty of civil rights marches in the sixties. People who had enough wealth to donate to the cause did so. The difference was that they were honest about it.

    Nobody is criticizing the right of people to protest — not even when it’s organized by large, well-funded special interests. It’s the lies that are offensive.


  37. Virtual Pebble says:

    I will agree that it wasn’t planned. There’s no discernable organization or organizing principle in Crazy Shelley’s TeaBagging exercise, other than more ranting and raving.


  38. Doom Siren says:

    When you look at Bachman, she looks crazy. The wide eye stare, the the jerky movements. Am I right? She honestly looks like a unstable person who could go on a rant at anytime. No wonder her top person quit. I couldn’t stand to be next to such a delusional person. She gives me the Heebee-jeebees.

  42. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Y’know, it’s actually a very clever strategy the wingnuts are employing — make so many demonstrably false claims and make them so easily disproved, that the opposition spends all its time and energy debunking crap and some of it sticks to the wall.

    Of course, it depends on a complete disregard for integrity and credibility, which a normal thinking person might assume would cripple anyone seeking political influence. It doesn’t seem to handicap the wingnuts, however.


  43. glogrrl says:

    Apparently Michelle has never heard of the old saying, “Don’t piss on my head and tell me it’s raining.”


  44. WillowOrchid says:

    Yah, and the protesters were shipped to DC on Organic busses paid for with Organic money, and they used Organic signs… yeahthose horrible signs “just grew”.

    heh, styrofoam. I like that. Good point though, about organic meaning something intrinsic or inherent to a community, although that is just one of several meanings for the term. In Crazy Shelley’s case, I prefer to think that it means there’s something with carbon in it nearby; perhaps the donuts?


  47. Bilbo Hussein Baggins says:

    I am totally amazed at what I saw yesterday. A representative of our government calling for the overthrow of a legitimately elected government. Why is this allowed to happen?

    BTW Bachmann, you don’t need huge buses to bring people in from out of state for an “organic” protest.

    I can only assume that you are planning one and will post the details here as well as take out ads to get the word out, send emails, etc.

    I will be expecting to hear that you have a date set very soon so I can make plans to attend.

    Sorry Winski, I have to disagree with you there. Batshit’s brain just isn’t wired in a normal fashion. She’s getting enough attention from wingnuttia to keep her going strong, so she doesn’t need our attention.

    We absolutely must continue shining the light on the likes of Bachmann, Beck, Limbaugh et al. It won’t make them go away, but we won’t have to apologize for standing by and doing nothing while they destroyed this country.


  75. Fred says:

  88. pags2 says:

    Bachmann is just one of the many demagogues in the Republican party. They demonize Obama and the Dems to deflect attention from the fact that Bush was a failure on a grand scale and the Republicans are responsible for the mess. The Dems need people like Bachmann because her crazy statements drive the independents away from Republicans. Without these demagogues, the voters would still be equally divided. We should relish this devolution of the Republican party which will cripple them for the next decade.

    If this doesn’t further prove Bachmann is either insane, or a pathological liar, nothing does– she plans, promotes, organizes the “event”, then says it’s nothing that she planned. Must be early dementia– or, as I said, outright, anti-Bible lying.


  97. Mugsy says:

    Bachmann clearly doesn’t know what “organic” means (big surprise).

    Here’s a clue: If a billionaire busses in half your pathetic 4,000 protesters at his own expense, it’s not organic.


  98. texaslady says:

    maximillion, it is all politics, your party cares nothing about you, they just don’t want Obama to succeed. Orrin Hatch said it, “if healthcare succeeds, people will be so happy, republicans will never get back in.” Ask yourself why insurance lobbyists would rather pay $1,000,000 A DAY than cut back their premiums and pay the 500,000 denied claims. They have a golden goose if nothing gets changed. Those of you against healthcare, do you prefer paying welfare for preventable disabilities ?

    I’m from Australia and watching this”debate” with interest and a little disbelief. We have had medi-care for around 30 years and in no way are a communist or socialist country. I don’t understand people that pride themselves as being Christian can be so mean spirited to their fellow man. In a country as prosperous as yours you shouldn’t have to be wealthy to be healthy.I’m sure those same people who were protesting each have a nicely framed photograph of their sponsor child in a 3rd world country to show off to guests.
    I really hope for your sake that Obama succeeds.

    Unfortunately, it is all about money. Insurance companies are raking in billions and they have no intention of negotiating with the Dems. The companies prefer an all out battle rather than an agreeable truce. These health insurance companies want to grab for even more billions if they can stop the public option and people are forced to get insurance. Even if the companies got the legislation they want, they would look for new ways to deny claims. With billions of dollars at stake, it is no surprise that this is a big issue.

    Lynne61,

    I have no great love for religion in general but I think it’s fair to say that those Americans one sees claiming a Divine right on TV are as ignorant of Christianity as they are of most everything else. There are a few crafty ones who lead the mobs but the mobs themselves can’t muster the IQ of a potted plant between them.

    Fortunately their numbers are shrinking but they seem to be getting louder in their desperation. On my more optimistic days I’m actually encouraged by their extremism because they are chasing out decent thinking people.
