Would you say part of what is going on now is Bachmann trying to pander to a Glenn Beck base of support for political reasons? When you do that, it looks like you are going way off the deep end? |
Pander is a bit strong... I just imagine that her comments were taken out of context... but to go into "Out of context" spotting 101. lets go into some parts of the raticle... my comments in bold.
“I watched every second of the special you did last night,” the Congresswoman told Glenn. “It was spellbinding.” That's not really talking about the likelyhood of it... just that it kept your attention and was convincing.
Congresswoman Bachmann sits on the intelligence committee, and told Glenn’s listeners that she can confirm every word from Rumors of War III was accurate. “It’s absolutely profound,” she said. Note what she actually says here. This sense doesn't remotely suggest "every word" is true... that is their words. It's not even a sentence really, who knowss what qualfiers came before or after it. Assuming she said "It was spellbind and Profound" that would mean... it really kept your attention while you were watching it, was convincing and was intense/indepth. I'd call Michael Moore documentries that, and I know most of what he says is made up. (Though I do think she see's at least part of Beck's work as possible)
“I personally spend twenty-five to thirty hours every week just dealing with this problem. I think this is the number one issue facing our country right now. People have no idea how far, how deep, how wide the Muslim Brotherhood has penetrated the upper echelons here in the United States" I can believe she's looking in to it that hard... when she says nobody knows "how far, deep and wide," though it sounds to me that she actually means she doesn't know. as.. she wants to find this out, hence why she's researching it. If she did know... why would she have to spend 30 hours week researching?
After that it all seems fairly normal. She's worried about Islamic reasons for terroism to be taken out of training manuals because she think's they're reasons for terroism etc. She's generally afraid we're going to lose western culture... which in general is a popular sentiment in Europe well beyond just the crazy racist national parties. See like... France for example. (Not something i'd agree with, but I wouldn't be signing someone up for the insane Asylum just because they believed it.
