Reply to girlking. This is not about farm subsidies my dear, as in the case of your co-worker and the Bachman's, this is about a discrimination law suit entitled Pigford II. In that suit black farmers sued the USDA claiming they were discrimiated against in receiving farm loans. The Courts agreed and awarded them $1.3 Billion. That is not really the issue. The issue is just how is getting the money. I believe if you look into this case you will find that lawyers are signing up people for this money who never farmed in their lives or never had intentions to farm. One lawyer along has signed up over 5,000 of such folks at $50,000 a piece. And make millions doing just that. A white guy, by the way. If you dig around you can find all this out for yourself. You should be as insenced as anyone else to see your tax money being wasted this way.
And to my friend Mission, calling Michelle Bachman a racist monster is not particularly constructive. Everything is not always about race my friends.

I have listened to Rep. Bachmann since the uprising of the "Tea Party". Prior to that, she was an unknown. The bigotry of the t's gave rise to so much overt racism that this country is reeling and on the brink of collapse, led in part by the hate mongers who wish the President of these United States to fail. She sometimes sound rabid, and remind me of the "Welfare Queens", who make a living off of the Government, and scream the loudest about the inefficiencies of the Government. as a mater of fact, She and her family obtained their riches from government welfare, beginning with parents, and continues today, she draws a paycheck from this government while being totally destructive and hostile to the welfare of the country. As a legislature, she is now in a position to insure that she and her husband continue to receive "Government Welfare", from the family welfare supported farm, to her husband's welfare business, to her welfare legislative check. while she insist on balancing the budget on the backs of the poor, the working poor, the unemployed, the underemployed, the elderly, and babies of this country. She is the worst kind of bigot, not only is she racist, she is engaged in the vilest and ugliest assaults on this country that I have ever heard. Heaven help us all if she becomes president.

You are as dumb as you look. Go home and sit down!!! stop being such a "RED NECK" hating on blacks. Allow your husband to be a man before you cheat on him. You are wasting your time trying to run for president. Eventhough, you are a white nothing.

I'm fast losing respect for the BV person that posted this subject: Who gives a "S" what Bachmann does or saids?!? U know it, I know it, and the whole world knows that Bachmann isn't going to be nominated for president. So why ur wasting BV bloggers with this trash is a mystery to me. I guess it's perhaps bc u can't come up with another viable topic!?!

we should all calm down...of course its obvious that Bachman is an extreme nut job. I suspect that the GOP throws up these fringe people so that later on less extreme nut jobs look good by comparison ?

So let me get this straight. If you are a greedy black, and you file a fraudulent claim to steal money from deserving blacks, and a white person points out that some greedy blacks stole money from deserving blacks, than the bad guy here is the white person? When will Bachman learn, you cannot talk about black people if you are white because if you do, you are a racist. God help people in their right minds who dare think she was merely exposing fraud in the system.
