Person for whom there are no more nicknames Michele Bachmann is teaming up with the #1 asshole in Congress, Iowa’s Steve King, to throw “a big party” on the National Mall this Thursday against health care reform, the worst idea since 9/11 and, before that, the Holocaust. Also on the “worst guest list you can imagine” guest list are Betsy McCaughey, Jon Voight, and Mark Levin of National Review. As best we can interpret, the “idea” is for wingnuts nationwide to travel to Washington, get loaded on free kegs of cat piss, and then go yell at every member of Congress about freedom and liberty. What a steal!
Following in the spirit of the “tea party” protests in April and the Glenn Beck-inspired 9/12 rally, Bachmann announced, “We’re going to have a ‘house call’ and a big party out on the National Mall [next week], and we’re going to tell Congress what they can do with their health care bill.”
Fashioning herself as the leader of this mass protest, Bachmann exhorted 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 ‘house call’ next week, and we need every American to be here.”
EVERY AMERICAN — NO EXCUSES. Bunk up with a friend!
According to Bachmann, Michael Jackson only sacrificed himself so that this party might one day exist. Also, buy Mark Levin’s book!
The American people realize this is it. Just like that brand new Michael Jackson movie came out, ‘This Is It.’ This is it for freedom. If you believe in liberty, and if you’re rejecting tyranny, this is it. Dr. Mark Levin wrote a seminal book that really swept this country called Liberty and Tyranny. And that’s what this debate is about next week. Liberty and tyranny.
EVERY. SINGLE. AMERICAN.
Bachmann Calls For Health Care Protest Rally In DC Next Week: ‘We’re Going To Have A Big Party’ [Think Progress]

Maybe some of those “better than healthcare” terrorists that Rep Foxxx was speaking about will carbomb the lot of them.
Well shit, I guess I have to go then.
If you see them on the Metro, remember to harrass them for their hypocrisy in utilizing a public service. Also if you see them occupying space on the taxpayer financed Mall. What the heck — just harrass them for the fun of it.
I find it especially ironic that most of those who criticize Bachmann’s incompetence more often than not have never attempted to hold elected office after possibly huffing industrial paint thinner, resulting in permanent damage to the cerebral cortex. But as the old saying goes, those who can’t do, criticize.
I should go bring my pubic option!
This isn’t the first time Republicans have summoned up Michael Jackson to promote their agenda. Why, just last week, Larry Craig said, “Just promise me, whatever we say or whatever we do to each other / For now, we’ll make a vow / To just…keep it in the closet.”
So whether you find the new health care bill to simply be “Bad” or truly “Off the Wall,” it’s time to tell those would-be tyrants to “Beat it!” Getting sick is simply “Human Nature,” and we should not be expected to pay for coverage for criminals, no matter how smooth. We need more heroes like Billie jean, who decided not to abort her child, and fewer like Diana, who let herself become a public hazard by getting so very, very dirty. So come to our party; it’s sure to be a “Thriller,” and I promise to rock with you all night.
Shamon.
If Mark Levin wrote a book that “swept this country,” why I haven’t I heard about it?
Liberty and Tranny!! Liberty and Tranny! Er, what? Oh, never mind then!
[re=448569]bureaucrap[/re]: Remember, kids: don’t be like the crazy dude that bit off that one guy’s finger. Nothing VIOLENT. Just give the wingtards a wedgie.
I can hardly wait for them to try to invade the public gallery. Congress has one of those, right? Because, for some reason, every single Congresscritter will decide that this is a good day to either be in the actual chamber where there are cameras rolling or in their districts, rather than waiting to receive “constituents” in their offices.
I must make a point of finding more teabagging friends with whom to bunk.
I’ll bet two million people will attend.
[re=448577]snideinplainsight[/re]: I think its “Libertines and Trannies”.
Will there be blimps? THERE MUST BE BLIMPS.
[re=448575]hobospacejunkie[/re]: Mark Levin is on the radio here. It’s kinda puzzling: he starts talking in a whiny monotone, then whips himself up into a kind of frenzy every 10 minutes or so. “Now this…” and then he’s back sounding sort of rational. Of course it’s an act but such a flagrant one that you can’t believe people take it seriously.
So, we can expect another group of sadsacks to wander confusedly through the metro system, mystified by the idea of “not blocking the door when people are exiting.” Fantastic. There haven’t been nearly enough this year, really.
I’d rather live under tyranny than do anything ol’ crazy-eyes-Bachmann wants.
The Republican base doesn’t get off the couch, for any reason.
Loggins/Messina 2012
Betsy McCaughey, Jon Voight, and Mark Levin? That sounds like the next lineup for “Help! I’m a Celebrity!” I hope they enjoy testicles and insect shakes.
[re=448603]m_supercomputer[/re]: Yeah, that’s special, isn’t it?
Perhaps we can make that day a SmarTrip-only day on Metro. Besides, these people are all going to use private-sector transportation, not librul commie public transit, right? Right?
“get off the couch, get in your car, get a van together, get a bus together, but get here!
Note that it is not suggested that you get in an airplane and fly here or take a train. The reasons are obvious. First, unless you are lucky enough to be flown by Capt. Sully, you are undoubtedly being transported by a leftist member of a labor union who will likely crash the plane into the Mall as a form of protest. As for trains, everyone knows that trains=mass transit=communism. Duh.
I think it’s quite appropriate to name drop Michael Jackson into this protest as “Heal the World” is so obviously a song about how the world would be better off if only we had lower capital gains tax, a strong American military, and no homos. Michael was especially passionate about that issue
Sweet, I’ll bring the E.
There’s only so many mortgages you can take out on a doublewide, Bachmann. Most of your freaks can’t afford to come to your shindig and have Thanksgiving, too. Make the rightwing ‘tards bitter. what’s the worst that could happen?
[re=448564]UncleTom[/re]: Well, that wouldn’t help much, since after the explosion, they would just put “a van together.” Of course, now that I think about it, they couldn’t put themselves together again, even with assistance from all the King’s horses and men.
Re: Alt-Text. Wasn’t/isn’t ‘topping’ slang for ‘harvesting human sweetbreads’? If so, excellent incitement!
“This is it. This is it for freedom.” So, if all the depends-wearing, teabag-waving, cross-eyed, mouthbreathing wingnuts show up – and Congress ignores them – does that mean their “Stupid American stunt show” folds, and they go home and STFU for good?
If so, it’ll be worth it.
She’s just looking out for the hotel lobbys…wnts to keep that oney in DC
Is she related t that Taitz woman?
I think Jon Voight is still in the Milo Mindbinder character… What’s good for M&M is good for the country!
Her enthusiasm and ebullience make me think Ms. Bachmann is making plans for a Booty Call, more like.
[re=448681]Mr Blifil[/re]: Maybe that’s her master plan, to get all the Tea-Baggers together for one, big, huge massive gang bang. For Jesus, of course.
Maybe one of our fine Wonkette Editors can get her opinion on dead census workers.
Michele Bachmann reminds me of the evil wife in People Under The Stairs with her baby farm. Burn in hell burn in hell
Jon Voight is one of the smartest men in the entire world. You can tell, because he is so erudite and handsome. I hope we all listen carefully to his message.
Damn it Wonkette, you know I hate DC this time of year…
This is just a ploy to get Angelina to talk to her dad, again. He spouts enough right-wing nonsense, & she’ll feel compelled to lead an intervention.
‘Twittering teabagger twat’?
[re=448630]AggieDemocrat[/re]: Plan on tides of be-sweatpanted ‘baggers to clog up the turnstiles while trying to jam quarters into the metrocard slot. And when the station agent tries to help them, they’ll scream “EGG-CAWN, EGG-CAWN”.
*sigh*
A Michael Jackson reference? What, did an ad for the movie flash onto Faux news and give this woman the idea for a pithy rallying cry? Does she even know he’s dead?
[re=448582]SayItWithWookies[/re]: “I’ll bet two million people will attend.”
Will Industrial Light and Magic sell out and do the CGI for Faux news? You know it’s coming, don’t you? And the teabaggers will never, ever believe it was faked.
[re=448601]V572625694[/re]: Luckily for me, I don’t even know who Mark Levin is, which means he’s not on NPR, right?
Golly, I hope they aren’t going to drive on the federally-funded Interstate Highways. As we all know, these godless socialism-pikes are modeled on the NAZI AUTOBAHN.
Yes, surely if all of the united states does not show up on the mall for this, American democracy as we know it will be over. Caput. Finito.
I understand that Obama is readying concentration camps across the Potomac just in case the demonstration is unsuccessful.
WTF?
What is WRONG with these people???
Better idea. Everyone pack the bathrooms so no one in the Capitol complex can go. (Actually one of Saul Alinsky’s from Rules for Radicals.)
[re=448687]Hooray For Anything[/re]: I don’t know about gang bangs, these dudes will NOT tolerate being seen naked in front of another dude. However, I’m inclined to suspect Michele would be up for pulling a train, except that she’s so against Amtrak and all…
That Michael Jackson even enters into her minds scares the fuck out of me, truly. Shouldn’t she be name-dropping the name of her fellow Minnesotan, and America’s comically-tiny celebrity Jehovah’s Witness, Prince?
BTW, someone should tell Bachmann that to assemble such a large crowd will only make it easier for Obama’s secret police to herd them into local FEMA death and/or reeducation camps.
Angie must be soooo embarrassed.
On a practical note, Thursday = hahaha. Also, most blocks of the Mall have been roped off to help the grass grow. So there will be nowhere for people to stand around, shuffling their feet.
Oh. My god. I am so going to this, and bringing my camera. I wonder if I can get a “don’t tread on me” scooter basket so I can blend in. Also, a rascal scooter. Also, an extra 200 pounds, to necessitate using a rascal scooter to get around.
Ehewww! They’ll all be out there waiving Dr. Mark Levin’s semen stained book.
Gosh, should I wear my big Obama button that day on Metro or my “America’s first family”? then when a moronic teabagger says something- I can point out that their fat ass is riding on GOVERNMENT funded transportation. I will also point out to a fatty birther/nutter that while socialism dictates- “to each according to his needs”, I firmly believe in keeping my half of the seat
Good time for a bunch of really angry libtards to show up and beat the crap out of Bachman and Voight as they demand single-payer healthcare scandinavian style.
WOLVERINES!
And fuck her for invoking Michael Jackson in her shit.
I can’t make it because I have to get a haircut that day – does that make me a muslin terrorist?
[re=448601]V572625694[/re]: I get a kick out of the way he answers his own questions. Boss BlunderRush pretends to be listening to someone on his earphone and then gives his one-half of the conversation. Sheer “Am I An Idiot” InSannity has started copying The Little Guy and asking himself questions.
Saves booking guests, I guess.
Yesterday (Monday, 11/2) The Little Guy went on and on and on (as only he can) about Jon Voight showing up for this event. What’s so great about a guy named after a volleyball?
