CNN Eliot Spitzer calls Rep Michele Bachmann a “fringe” candidate? says he doesn’t take her seriously?

Should CNN’s Eliot Spitzer be saying this about Representative Michele Bachmann?

First,  FNC’s Chris Wallace asked the “flake” question (and I immediately blogged about it!!  I thought the question bad.)

….and now CNN’s Eliot Spitzer just said he does not take Congresswoman Bachmann seriously and that she is a “fringe” candidate….[8pm hour/CNN]

What do you have to say about what CNN’s Spitzer is saying? that he does not take Congresswoman Bachmann seriously? that she is a “fringe” candidate?

Maybe Spitzer did not see the recent Iowa Des Moines Register poll?   Can you be fringe and be tied for first place with Gov Romney?   You tell me…is Spitzer right? or did he just slip and let us know more about him and not her?

    Spitzer is a fringe Idiot who lives under a rock!

    I have no idea to which fringe Spitzer is referring. Anybody who cannot see through Obama and his ilk, after so much evidence, has no credibility when ranking candidates. With his comment, Spitzer tell us much more about himself, his so-called professional creds, and knee-jerk liberalism.

    I’m sure everyone takes what he has to say very seriously!

    He is entitled to his opinion just like anybody. She is part of the tea party pulse, which is fringe, so his observation is correct. Certainly, I think she is fringe, but who am I really except a voter.

    This is getting old, him of all people. Its now open season on Bachmann from the
    old boys club (Wallace) included. I feel like I am watching S.Palin, all over again.
    The guys want to pick who the male is that’s going to run, No women allowed.
    Now they will all gang up on her, (Fringe,Flake). I did send an email to Fox yesterday, I am going to send one now to CNN.

    I heard today from a host that people on the left is wanting her to win the race to be Republican candidate. They run clips on her different opinions on the same issues she had in the past. Her graffes and her knowledge of history. It did not make her look good. So the left is going to have a field day on doing ads about this. She can play the game on how she is a great mother (which I think she is) and all her lawyer experience all she wants but when it comes down to it she will have to own up to what she does not know! People are not going to be fooled. I do not think men will take her seriously. NOT Republican men! Diehards!

    I heard on the news tonight that one point she kept driving home during her speech today was that Iowa is her home……….or that it is her home town…..that was the big point she wanted to get across.

    I wonder what that fool Spitzer thinks of a community organizer who had zero experience and still has zero experience. I hope no one thinks he has any common decency or sense.Michele Bachman has nothing to worry about , I am sure she loses no sleep over that moron.

    You may disagree with the Tea Party, but it’s hardly “fringe.” Certainly, it’s behavior and beliefs are miles above those of the union “fringe.” It makes me wonder what you do prize if you think the Tea Party is fringe. That can’t be good.

    Just ONE DAY after Chris Wallace asked Michele Bachmann if she is a “flake”, the following is one of the headlines regarding Bachmann’s speech in Iowa today …

    “Michele Bachmann confuses John Wayne Gacy with The Duke”

    “Well what I want them to know is just like John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa. That’s the kind of spirit that I have, too,” Bachmann told a Fox News reporter.

    One small detail: John Wayne Gacy, the infamous mass murderer is from Waterloo. The Duke, although his parents met in Waterloo, is from Iowa, but from Winterset, nearly three hours away by car.”

    OBAMA CONFUSED WHAT YEAR IT IS AND SAID AMERICA HAS 57 STATES. CASE CLOSED.

    ‘Great moments in journalism: “Are you a flake?”

    I can understand why Chris Wallace asked this question. Given his guest’s propensity for gaffes, such as picking the name of a dead hero as a live Medal of Honor winner, botching a toast to Queen Elizabeth II, discussing the high points of the Austrian language, and several references to a military medic as a “corpseman,” it might be hard to take the person seriously.

    Oh, wait — Wallace wasn’t interviewing Barack Obama after all:

    The Selma March in 1965 did not contribute to his birth in 1961.
    Kansas tornadoes in May 2007 killed 12 people, not “ten thousand”.
    Afghans do not speak Arabic.
    Within 24 hours, Obama reversed his assertion that Iran did not pose a “serious threat” to the US to an assertion that the threat is “grave”.
    Declaring that Memorial Day honors an “unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today“
    Saying that his uncle liberated Auschwitz
    Asserted that the Nuremberg tribunals offered habeas corpus and appeal rights
    Referred to “the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor“

    GRETA –This one for the books. Talking about a graffe on Ist day of Campaign

    Wrong John Wayne: Mix-up is opening day headache for Bachmann
    By Carrie Dann
    What’s the difference between the actor who will forever embody the American ideal of craggy cowboy masculinity and the serial killer who forever made clowns way way creepier than they’d ever been before?
    One answer turns out to be four letters and about 150 miles – not quite enough to keep Rep. Michele Bachmann from prompting a chorus of internet giggles for apparently mixing them up.
    On the day of her presidential announcement, Bachmann, an Iowa native, told FOX News that she and John Wayne share a hometown. “John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa,” she said. “That’s the kind of spirit that I have, too.”
    Bachmann repeated that idea to NBC News in an interview. “I’m not pining for nostalgia back in the 50s and 60s, that isn’t it,” she told NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell. “But that sensibility about how we were grounded here is so important. For instance, another American that was born in Waterloo was John Wayne. We were a very patriotic ‘yay rah rah America’ city and nation and I think that’s what America’s looking for again.”
    The problem: While actor John Wayne – the gravelly-voiced Western film star known for his characteristic walk and his conservative values– was in fact from Iowa (and, Bachmann’s campaign later pointed out, his parents briefly lived in Waterloo), he was born in Winterset, about 150 miles away.
    The famous similarly-named guy who did make his home in Waterloo: John Wayne Gacy — the serial killer known for dressing as “Pogo the Clown” who buried over two dozen of his young male victims in the crawlspace of his Illinois home.
    Gacy, who was born in Chicago, lived in Waterloo in the late 1960s before serving time for sodomy at Anamosa State Penitentiary. He would later go on to commit more than 30 murders.
    The mix-up – which, considering the Iowa roots of both men, isn’t as baffling as some Bachmann critics may make it out to be– isn’t independently the kind of gaffe that makes voters suddenly change their minds. But it’s certain to become late-night comedy fodder for a candidate who has already been ridiculed for a more serious historical mangling of details about the beginning of the Revolutionary War.

  • myown2cents

    BFD!!! She was speaking of John Wayne, not Gacy.

  • Theecholsfamily

    You are right she was wrong. But what about Obama forgetting that he presented the MOH to a falling solider’s family, stating that he was alive.

    Who is Spitzer to assess the level of significance Bachmann has?!!! She is more qualified than most. She handles herself well even when she is being insulted. She knows that we have 50 states, not the 57 Obama claimed to have visited. Leave her alone. If you can’t say anything good…. don’t say anything at all. That’s a basic childhood lesson.

  • Oaktree

    Just because one is priviliged enough (in their opinion) to run for President, doesn’t mean that they should, or are qualified. And Polls? Come on Greta. Polls are of no importance to the public at this time — this far out of any primary. You use them as a “talking point” only and it makes conversation. A “fringe candidate?” You bet she is! With those “gaffes”, misstatements, government substities she and her husband take and the lies she has told to date … she’ll be out of the running in two states at the most. They may love the “native daughter” in Iowa, the Bible Belt, too — but she’s not “Presidential”. And, no, she shouldn’t be taken seriously, except by right wing nutjobs and Fox commentators.
