Michele was going easy on them–
Rep. Michele Bachmann told the crowd that the radicals in Washington are acting like the Marxist leader Hugo Chavez. (Minnesota Independent)
Rep. Michele Bachmann spoke at the “Kill the Bill” rally Saturday in St. Paul. During her speech she compared the radicals in Washington DC to Marxist dictator Hugo Chavez from Venezuela.
The Minnesota Independent reported:
1,000 people gathered at the Minnesota State Capitol lawn Saturday to hear Rep. Michele Bachmann speak out against health care reform. Billed as the “Kill the Bill Rally,” Bachmann railed against a “government takeover” of all aspects of the economy and compared Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez.
“Some have called President Obama the first post-American president,” Bachmann said. “Certainly this health care bill would be our first postmodern legislation where words mean absolutely nothing.”….
“Obama’s idea is for Pelosi to pass a bill and have her members vote on something they never voted for. Sounds more like a Chavez tactic in Venezuela,” said Bachmann. “We have a duty to resist tyranny. This isn’t a joke. They can’t do this. The government is working against us. They are not working for us, and they got it all backwards. They work for us. We don’t work for them.”
