Michele Bachmann today implied
that the media's coverage |
| 00:00:06 |
00:00:07 |
of her campaign is sexist.
|
| 00:00:08 |
00:00:09 |
The candidate told a rally
in New Hampshire |
| 00:00:09 |
00:00:11 |
that she believes
that as a crazy woman |
| 00:00:11 |
00:00:13 |
she's had to deal with scrutiny
she would not face |
| 00:00:13 |
00:00:15 |
if she were a crazy man.
|
| 00:00:15 |
00:00:17 |
Let's ask our first responders
to see what they think. |
| 00:00:17 |
00:00:18 |
Joining us today
we have Duncan Birch, |
| 00:00:18 |
00:00:20 |
Lauralee Hickock
and David Barrodale |
| 00:00:20 |
00:00:22 |
whose opinions
are sponsored by Acura. |
| 00:00:23 |
00:00:24 |
Is Bachmann treated differently
because she's a woman |
| 00:00:25 |
00:00:27 |
with a frighteningly apparent
psychological instability? |
| 00:00:27 |
00:00:29 |
I don't think there's any question.
-Lauralee, really? |
| 00:00:29 |
00:00:32 |
Every time she says something
that's objectively bizarre |
| 00:00:32 |
00:00:35 |
about how God told her
to adopt two dozen children |
| 00:00:35 |
00:00:38 |
or how same-sex marriage is the
number one threat to this country, |
| 00:00:39 |
00:00:40 |
the press jumps down her throat.
|
| 00:00:40 |
00:00:42 |
Now they would not be doing that
to Mitt Romney |
| 00:00:43 |
00:00:45 |
if Mitt Romney were visibly
deranged. -I don't buy this |
| 00:00:45 |
00:00:46 |
for a second.
-Oh, come one. |
| 00:00:47 |
00:00:49 |
If an insane male candidate said
|
| 00:00:49 |
00:00:51 |
that Obama was responsible
for swine flu |
| 00:00:51 |
00:00:55 |
they would be just as terrified
by his ignorance. |
| 00:00:55 |
00:00:57 |
Excuse me! Excuse me!
Excuse me! |
| 00:00:57 |
00:01:01 |
Look, she needs to start running
a powerful, responsive |
| 00:01:01 |
00:01:04 |
V6 of a campaign
and stop spending so much time |
| 00:01:05 |
00:01:06 |
worrying about the media.
-Exactly. |
| 00:01:06 |
00:01:10 |
You don't see this Acura TL worried
about how it's being treated. |
| 00:01:10 |
00:01:13 |
This thing can take almost anything
people can throw at it. |
| 00:01:13 |
00:01:15 |
If all of this is true, how does
Bachmann go about |
| 00:01:15 |
00:01:18 |
throwing off the focus of being
an insane, female candidate? |
| 00:01:18 |
00:01:21 |
She's got to beat her crazy
male opponents at their own game. |
| 00:01:21 |
00:01:23 |
If they're going to come out
supporting gun rights |
| 00:01:23 |
00:01:25 |
for the developmentally
disabled, |
| 00:01:25 |
00:01:27 |
she should come out
supporting gun rights for dogs. |
| 00:01:27 |
00:01:30 |
Exactly, that is totally
Acura-te, Lauralee. |
| 00:01:30 |
00:01:33 |
100% Acura-te.
-Thank you David. |
| 00:01:33 |
00:01:35 |
When Bachmann started
running around last week |
| 00:01:36 |
00:01:37 |
going in circles,
rubbing herself with mud |
| 00:01:37 |
00:01:39 |
and shrieking wildly,
|
| 00:01:39 |
00:01:41 |
the media focused completely
on what her hair looked like |
| 00:01:41 |
00:01:43 |
during the incident. -Right, but when
Herman Cain did the same thing |
| 00:01:44 |
00:01:45 |
just a few months ago,
|
| 00:01:45 |
00:01:47 |
people focused on his insane
babbling. |
| 00:01:47 |
00:01:49 |
There's a clear double-standard.
-No, that's because |
| 00:01:49 |
00:01:51 |
his insane babblings
were cogent political points. |
| 00:01:52 |
00:01:53 |
As were hers.
|
| 00:01:54 |
00:01:57 |
Yes David? -I'm revving this
powerful, fuel-injected engine |
| 00:01:58 |
00:01:59 |
to show my support
for Lauralee's opinion. |
| 00:01:59 |
00:02:01 |
That's it, but thank you
first responders. |
