United States House of Representatives member and 2012 presidential hopeful as a member of the completely rational Tea Party, Michele Bachmann brings us criticism of anything related to President Barack Obama, fear-mongering statements on same-sex marriage, interesting views on fixing the country and much more in the most controversial Michele Bachmann quotes.

Rivaling Sarah Palin's ridiculous quotes as another outspoken female politician, Bachmann also provides laughs and entertainment in her creative versions of United States history and comparisons to movie stars, erm, serial killers. Seriously, even Palin could not make this stuff up!

Michele Bachmann on Swine Flu

"I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out under another, then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence."

If one reads between the lines on this Michele Bachmann quote, one may come to the conclusion that what she's calling an interesting coincidence is actually an accusation that swine flu is some conspiracy by the Democrats. In reality, that other outbreak of swine flu came in 1976 when Republican Gerald Ford was president.

Michele Bachmann on the Census

Take this into consideration, If we look at American history, between 1942 and 1947, the data that was collected by the Census Bureau was handed over to the FBI and other organizations at the request of President Roosevelt, and that's how the Japanese were rounded up and put into the internment camps... I'm not saying that that's what the Administration is planning to do, but I am saying that private personal information that was given to the Census Bureau in the 1940s was used against Americans to round them up, in a violation of their constitutional rights, and put the Japanese in internment camps."

Explaining her refusal to complete the U.S. Census, Michele Bachmann brought another episode of her fear-mongering show to the public with warnings about what could happen should Americans complete the Census, as stipulated by the U.S. Constitution. {sarcasm} Clearly every other time since the 1940s that the country has conducted a census it has led to Americans being captured by the Japanese and being placed in internment camps. {end sarcasm}

Michele Bachmann on Lexington and Concord

"What I love about New Hampshire and what we have in common is our extreme love of liberty...You're the state where the shot heard round the world in Lexington and Concord."

This misinformed Michele Bachmann quote came in March 2011 during her speech to the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire. In reality, the Battles of Lexington and Concord took place in the state of Massachusetts, not New Hampshire.

Michele Bachmann on Carbon Dioxide

"Carbon dioxide, Mr. speaker, is a natural byproduct of nature. Carbon dioxide is natural. It occurs in Earth... Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful, but there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas."

Enlightening the U.S. Congress on her feelings on global warming, Bachmann explained that carbon dioxide is both natural and absolutely harmless. In reality, carbon dioxide, also called the silent killer, is very much harmful and can (and does) easily cause numerous deaths each day.

Michele Bachmann on Patriotism

"The news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would, I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out are they are pro-America or anti-America... I think the people that Barack Obama has been associating with are anti-American, by and large... Absolutely, I'm very concerned that (Barack Obama) may have anti-American views... I never questioned Barack Obama’s patriotism."

Making a splash talking on "Hardball with Chris Matthews" in 2008, Michele Bachmann gave us a handful of quotes suggesting that President Barack Obama is either anti-American or is being controlled by those with anti-American agendas. When pressed further about this conspiracy theory, Bachmann was oblivious to how her comments came off, rejecting any concept that she was questioning the patriotism of President Obama. Apparently perception (or delusion) can be a tricky thing.

Michele Bachmann on Carbon Dioxide at 12/15/2011 3:28 PM

While I understand the point you are trying to make. Carbon Dioxide is not the silent killer. That would be Carbon Monoxide. Our lungs cannot process CO2 and we therefor coff (sp?). CO on the other hand pass through the lungs (chemically similar to O2) and binds hemaglobin and thereby prevents O2 from entering the blood stream.

Michele Bachmann on Gay Marriage at 10/15/2011 10:21 PM

Michele Bachmann and her husband are both very far out. Not good for the U.S. She is running on her own “gay agenda” platform. We are closing schools, laying people off. Families are being foreclosed on and being put out in the streets. And all this Republican running for President and her husband can do is talk about is “praying away the gay”. It is a good money maker for her, but we have bigger things to do, and I am hopping God has too. If you or your church has the gay agenda on your mind, all the time you may need to set down and talk with someone. We need to start looking at what is best for the country. Not our own religion’s views, that blow in the wind.

Go Michelle, the lefties are a-holes. So, they rented 600 rooms instead of 870, the ideas are right, the numbers may not be exact.

No doubt Obama and his puke ugly wife are spending like drunken w***es at our expense!

  I have a suggestion, Mozart: instead of just going with whatever sounds good to you, think about doing a little fact-checking for yourself. It'll help you avoid embarrassing yourself in public in the f*ture. Here, I'll help get you started - http://www.factcheck.org/2010/11/ask-factcheck-trip-to-mumbai/

I remember seeing that "members of Congress are anti-American" interview when it was first on TV. Think it was my first exposure to Michele Bachmann. Believe my comment was "Who is this insane person?" at the time.
