Via TPM, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) took to Fox News this morning to plug the anti-health care reform rally — which she referred to as “the Super Bowl of Freedom” — she is organizing in Washington with the corporate-funded, small-government group Americans for Prosperity. After the rally — which is scheduled for noon Thursday on the Capitol steps and, Bachmann said, will feature actor Jon Voight — she said she plans to lead attendees into the Rayburn, Longworth and Cannon congressional office buildings so they can “look at the whites of the eyes of their members of Congress and say, ‘Don’t you remember, I told you don’t take away my health care.’”
Bachmann added that it was important to stop health care reform because “socialized medicine is the crown jewel of socialism.”
As Greg Sargent and Eric Kleefeld reported yesterday, the House Republican leadership has endorsed Bachmann’s plan to bring an anti-reform rally inside the halls of Congress.

Pretty sure Bachmann will get a call from the NFL regarding use of the words Super Bowl in this context… Even advertisers have to call it “The Big Game”…

Thank God for people like Michele! She makes all of the rest of us look sensible and sane.
Hey summerbummer, what is a true American?

I don't know why she thinks the looters and leeches in Congress give a damn about the thoughts and wishes of the 85% (or is it 95%) of the people who are happy with their health care and skeptical of yet another huge government boondoggle. This isn't about health care; it's about power, and the looters can smell victory!

gmurdock, “true” Americans are those who are the product of the American Revolution and the principles and practices that came from it: self-sufficient, supporters of free market principles, believers in limited government. We do not believe a “right” is something that requires the enslavement of other's lives or the taking of another's property, nor do we believe it is moral to use the government's monopoly on the use of deadly force to take from or do to others what would be considered criminal if done one's self. For starters.

If Jesus were here healing the sick and dying Michelle Bachmann would run over to him and say, “Stop doing that! that's called socialized health care!”

You lying sack of “Liberal” crap. Jesus never said “Force thy neighbor to be a good Samaritan at the point of a government sword or gun.”
Amerika needs “Liberal”s(communist) season before it's too late.

I'll be happy to give death to “Liberals.”
Liberty or death to the founders didn't mean they were going to stick a gun to their heads and shoot themselves if they King didn't grant them independence. It meant they killed British soldiers, loyalists and tories.
It will mean killing enough “Liberals”(communists) to restore Liberty to this land.
End of discussion. Time to wake up to what will be required.

You are right, Jesus never promoted violence. Jesus told us to take care of our neighbors and “the least among us”. I think that includes giving them the means to good health.

[...] one of the dumbest names for a political rally ever. After much deliberation, she decided on “the Super Bowl of Freedom”. I don’t even know how to interpret that one. Did the New England Patriots play in [...]
