Oh, and just because I’m a part-time comic art geek…

Check out Female Force from Bluewater Productions. They’re going after both sides of the market; to date the series has featured Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Caroline Kennedy, Sarah Palin, Condolezza Rice, and Michelle Obama, not to mention Barbara Walters!

If you don’t like buying single issues, here’s the cover for the upcoming graphic novel.

@An American Voter: I don’t mean the gender thing, because again, I love Sarah Palin.

WesMorgan1 makes my point

It’s her Glenn Beck-ish quality to go to far extremes in public for a reaction and you want to go “okay, tone it down a bit, I like you, but I really can’t defend this”

Palin she was eviscerated by the media because they WANTED her to look stupid, Bachmann says stupid things and gets eviscerated.

It’s like she’s the worst kind of caller to talk radio, taking the host’s points then taking them to loonyville before the host has to cut them off.

For Hawkins….If you are a strong, focused to mission male in business you are considered to be a mover and shaker….IF THE SAME TRAITS ARE DISPLAYED IN A WOMAN — she is labeled hysterical.

Have you heard what she has been up against in CONGRESS? Thank goodness someone is speaking up AND she has warned all of us that she will be viciously attacked — especially due to speaking up about ACORN (Now have a new Name) being hired to “help” with the US Census. The left will throw a lot of $$$ against her to take her out of office (probably will use the population in local graveyards as well)

Thank goodness we still have Congressman who speak up …. unfortunately for the Left, they will start intimidation tactics…tipping their hand as to whom they believe are threatening to their agenda…ie Palin (Even Senator Lurch got some digs in this week)

In counterpoint/rebuttal/whatever, I’ll offer the Liberality For All series, which ridicules all sorts of folks on the left and predates this piece of work by several years.

Just as ACC Studios wants to make a buck off conservatives who prefer ridicule to debate, these guys want to make a buck off liberals who prefer ridicule to debate. [*shrug*]

Having said that, I’m not surprised that someone is taking comic/satirical aim at Bachmann. I mean, come on. She spews conspiracy theories (re-education camps?), factual errors (FDR caused the Great Depression by signing the Democrats’ ‘Hoot-Smalley Act’?) and implied smears (the five ‘flying imams’ were going to Rep. Keith Ellison’s victory celebration?)…and it goes on and on and on. I have the distinct impression that she will say almost anything if she perceives a partisan advantage in so doing; consider her recent “the last time we had a swine flu epidemic, a Democrat was in power” comment or her assertion that Minnesota has large Somali and Hmong communities because of “government relocation.”

(For the record: Even Glenn Beck considers the re-education camps a conspiracy theory, unemployment was pushing 25% when FDR took office, the Smoot-Hawley Act was written by two Republicans and signed into law by President Hoover, the five imams were attending a conference of North American imams, the previous swine flu outbreak occurred during the Ford Administration, and Minnesota’s Somali/Hmong communities have come about through the efforts of refugee-aid religious groups, primarily Lutheran in MN’s case.)

Keep in mind that several of Bachmann’s worst examples come not from the off-the-cuff comment (Heck, VP Biden sets that bar pretty high by himself, yes?), but from written/scripted instances; for instance, her trifecta FDR/Great Depression/”Hoot-Smalley” fail came from a written speech delivered on the House floor.

Several folks have provided examples of Bachmann making coherent, even incisive, commentary – so noted. The problem comes when you try to reconcile those examples with the ones of the sort I provided. The only explanation that comes to mind is that one set is a scripted persona. What other explanation covers both the incisive and the absurd?

@GaffaUK: It’s not at all nonsensical. If you lived in this country you might be well aware of the growing number of people demanding to know on what Constitutional basis this massive government expansion is justified.

C’mon – she clearly asked whether the actions were in the constitution. Which is nonsensical – as I say – is that you can ask that bland question to a whole host of legit things. Concern about whether US is moving away from the constitution is legit overall – but I don’t see how these two things are explicitly linked. What Obama doing isn’t unconstitutional. However maybe there should be an amendment is some people are so concerned.

As for Palin and Bachmann – it doesn’t bother me that they are conservative women at all. What bothers me are those on the Christian right (men or women) who believe in Creationism and come across as politically lightweight and/or barmy. Compare them to the stature of Thatcher or intellectual precision of Daniel Hannan conservative views.

@GaffaUK: No. That’s not the point. There has been quite a movement in the last few years here of concern that we are continuing down an extra-constitutional road. Bachman is merely asking these high public officials to explain how their actions are justified. Clearly they could not.

But you go ahead and trash her the same blind and willfully ignorant way you repeated every smear against Sarah Palin as if it was fact.

If you think that makes you a better person. It does not.
