An inconvenient reporter

by Darryl — Saturday, 8/13/11, 10:46 pm

Yesterday CNN’s Don Lemon was roughed up by Michele Bachmann’s thugs. And the “thugs” included Michele’s totally not gay husband Marcus:

“She came out, after speaking for just a couple minutes,” Lemon said. “There were other reporters and cameras there. And I asked her very respectful questions: ‘How do you think you did in the debate last night?’ and ‘How do you think you’re going to end up in the Ames Straw Poll?’ And her two campaign aides started elbowing me.”

Lemon continued: “I told them, asked them not to elbow me. And then her husband Marcus started doing the same thing. And then he elbowed me into the cart. And I said, ‘You just pushed me into the cart.’ And he goes, ‘No, you did it yourself.’

“It was just, I don’t know, why they would choose to do that. We weren’t asking any ‘gotcha’ questions,” Lemon added.

Why, indeed!

I’m left wondering…is Don Lemon blacklisted by the Bachmann campaign? And if so, is it because he is gay? Or because he is black? Or both?

Either way, Don Lemon just needs to cool off and accept personal responsibility for their actions….

    I’m kind of surprised that Marcus Bachmann elbowed Don Lemon without grabbing his ass. I’ll bet, nonetheless, he tucked his “I’ll cure you” card into Lemon’s waistband. Deeeeply.

    Michelle seems to have “special teams” on her squad, specially trained to flatten “the other team’s” guys.

    Hmmm… I did a search on Don Lemon claims. The first link is from Instinct Magazine. I never heard of Instinct Magazine so I clicked on it to see which way it swings “so to speak”.

    Instinct …Follow Yours

    Wow it’s a Gay mag. So now I know Don Lemon’s “orientation”. So now I’m really curious about these

    Michele Bachmann’s thugs

    From there, two of her young female staffers allegedly started elbowing Don Lemon, while he claims to have been simply asking respectful questions.

    Oh my goodness. ROTFLMBBAO! Two blond women Don? Their hair color was determined from another web site. You can search it yourselves or call on the arschloch!

    Now to Marcus Bachmann, he was protecting his wife from a libtardo reporter well known for his libtardo leanings.

    Can’t seem to find those “respectful questions”. Maybe after Don’s “respectful questioning” of Rand Paul a couple of weeks ago… where Don kept cutting off Rand and inserting words into Rand’s mouth… yeah Don is really “respectful”.

    Puddy is once again full of shit.

    And I asked her very respectful questions: ‘How do you think you did in the debate last night?’ and ‘How do you think you’re going to end up in the Ames Straw Poll?’

    It’s really not about the nature of the questions, though.
    It’s about creating fear and intimidation.
    That New Yorker article must have stung.

    Michelle and Marcus are training a crew of Brown Shirts.

    Nope Lib you as always are FOS!

    And I asked her very respectful questions: ‘How do you think you did in the debate last night?’ and ‘How do you think you’re going to end up in the Ames Straw Poll?’

    Those are “his” words Lib.

    There are no people to corroborate his “questions”.

    Butt as always you skip over the thrust of the question. Thugs! Two blond women!

    Deranged. Looking in the mirror again?

    I don’t listen to Don Lemon anymore DeadToad. Why? After his Rand Paul interview and his comments afterward where he claims he treats DUMMOCRAPTS the same way except he throws them softballs.

    Of course DeadToad has nothing to say over two women attacks

    Given where your head is located you would be ignorant that many women left or right receive hand-to-hand combat training in the military or study the martial arts.

    I heard that Bachmann would be willing to appoint a gay cabinet member if they shared her views. By this, I gather that she means a gay who shares with her belief that homosexuality is “of Satan”.

    Maybe what she’s saying is that she’d apppoint her husband to a cabinet position.

    Think back ten years ago. Could you have ever imagined that you’d soon see the day that a secessionist Southern governor might get the Republican party nomination to run against a conservative African-American president? Mind boggling.

    The First GOP Casualty …

    Tim Pawlenty is pulling out of the presidential race. He’s no loss. Pawlenty’s budget-balancing scheme — abolish all taxes on corporations, capital gains, dividends, and interest income — was the most bizarre of all. This guy had nothing intelligent or sensible to say, absolutely nothing.

    Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out, Tim.

    They’re testing the wind. If GOPers get away with this, they’ll take campaign tactics down to the next level — i.e., Africa’s, where dictators’ thugs kill you for trying to vote for the other guy.

    Either way, Don Lemon just needs to cool off and accept personal responsibility for their actions….

    What’s interesting to me is the suggestion that elbowing him out of the way and/or into a golf cart would have been okay if he had tried asking tough questions.

    Just how much are we supposed to coddle everyone (at least on the right) running for president? How much brains is the media expected to spot these guys?
