Bachmann Calls Fallon Song Choice ‘Sexist,’ Double Standard for Conservatives

NBC has become the sewage pit of this nation. How many viewers do they have and I imagine companies argue whether to even pay for advertising on that terrible network or its spin offs, such as the one that leads the sewage crop of hate, msnbc. Talk about your disgusting distortions and a place that preaches hate. Things are so bad there they can’t put together a single live program over the weekend, just some repeat episodes of lockup. America rejects their style of hatred. Air America failed and so are all of the broadcasters of hate on msnbc.

Lyin A$$ B is a song better suited for Obama.
Start making the tee shirts, I’ll buy a few.

Well, the lyin A$$part of the song title is correct at least. I heard her tell a bold faced lie last night during the GOP debate. She said President Obama is giving away the peace in Iraq becuase we are pulling our combat troops out by the end of the year. Too bad her claim is patently false. The IRAQI GOVERNMENT is potentially giving away the peace in Iraq because the IRAQI GOVERNMENT wants our combat troopos out. The IRAQI GOVERNMENT refuses to renew the current Status of Forces Agreement that provides legal protections to our combat troops. Only a stupid A$$ fool would keep combat troops in a foreign country without a Status of Forces Agreement in place to provide them with legal protection. If I had been the moderator or one of her opponents I would have asked her to explain what she would do as president if she was in exactly the same position President Obama is in with the IRAQI GOVERNMENT saying they want the combat troops out and with the IRAQI GOVERNMENT refusing to extend the current Status of Forces Agreement past December. If she were to say keep them there even though the IRAQI GOVERNMENT wants them out and even though the IRAQI GOVERNMENT won’t sign a new Status of Forces Agreement to give legal protections to the combat troops then that would make Bachman a stupid A$$ fool who is too stupid and too dangerous to be president. And I would would have told her to her face right there on the stage exactly the same thing if I was one of her opponents.

the sad fact is that ever since the clinton scandal, the profound hypocrisy of the american left (and particularly that of leftist women’s groups) has been laid bare. the left bashed the women of clinton into oblivion, even after the truth of the matters came out. and to this day they bash those women. every attack on hillary clinton was met with charges of sexism. yet, in the last 2 years, we’ve seen an unabated series of assaults on any and all conservative women without so much as a peep from the american left in their defense or in opposition to said attacks. the moderate american is turned off the right by its death spiral devotion to social ultra-conservativism, and they are similarly turned off by the left’s hypocrisy regarding women and minorities. to the left, women and minorities have value and are only worth protecting if they espouse liberal views. if they espouse conservative views, they forfeit their protected status in the minds of the american left.

This woman is as dumb as they come.

damn…the right has become the new victim class. They demand political correctness. Gee I want a President that gets offended by a song;

dylan, political correctness has nothing to do with it. it’s a matter of decorum and decency. i personally think bachman is a nut case who is completely unworthy of the presidency. that being said, she deserves to be better treated. this was akin to inviting the nerdy kid to a slumber party in order to make fun of him. and it was on the same level as such juvenile meanness.

However, if anybody took up for NASCAR booing Michelle yet they have a problem this I find them hypocritical.

POSTED BY: LEXINGTONLADY | NOVEMBER 23, 2011, 12:20 PM++Nascar did not boo her. Some spectators in the stands booed her. Bush has been booed at baseball games and Obama has been booed at baseball games. Do we hold Major League Baseball responsible for that?

I said the same thing about the booing of Michelle Obama,it is Free speech and does
anyone want to give it up. When you become a Public Figure this is what you have to deal with. Personally I like the booing and the lewd comments, all it means your
message is being heard. Not everyone is necessarily going to like it.

lexingtonlady, you’re using a bit of selective memory there my friend. not once did a national women’s organization come to the defense of those women. not once did a gloria allred take up their cause. there was plenty of left-wing trashing of those women, from “legitimate” organizations to late night comedy. believe what you want, but the truth is the truth. you call for people to view the michelle obama booing on equal terms as the bachman-fallon flap. when someone agrees with you on that point, you still must prevaricate about the clinton years. this mentality is a major component of our national ills. it’s okay to be irrational in your support of the packers over the bears or maintaining that david letterman is funnier than jay leno. when people apply this kind of tribal thought to politics, we find ourselves where we are. the left never once called out clinton, the left hammered those women (who were telling the truth). the left abandons women and minorities when they stray off the plantation, just as the right abandons any of it’s membership for daring to veer from the “no taxes, jesus is all we need to survive” right wing nonsense. the sooner people get out of the partisan rut and quit cheering the two party system like they cheer for teams in the world series, the better off we’ll all be.

1) Offended or not, it’s his 1st Amendment right to pick any song he wants! :)
2) She’s in politics, and is upset by something like this?

fingerlakes, why do you even mention the first amendment? has anyone implied that it has anything to do with this? why does every story dealing with what someone said or did cause so many people to bring up the first amendment? yes, he has the right to pick his songs. and he has the right to face whatever consequences the public (not government, but the public) wish to mete out. it could be nothing, it could be a boycott. the first amendment regards government action, not private action. and as the old adage goes, exercising a right and doing the right thing often have nothing to do with one another.

I don’t see many teabaggers apologizing for the way Mrs Obama and Mrs. Biden were booed at the race. Haha, Ginny, I am all for First Amendment rights, even when they come from a rap song. Listen if this lady wants to run for office, she better not be so thin skinned.

That was uncalled for regardless of how you feel about someone. This just reflects badly on the musician. You can disagree with someone without having to resort to name calling. I do not think he should be fired but it would be nice if he apologized. And meant it sincerely.

“2) She’s in politics, and is upset by something like this?”…….. She was asked about it. I’d have said the same thing if asked.

lexingtonlady, you know it’s not about the left hating women, and you know that’s a red herring argument. it’s about the left showing concern for certain women and not for others because of their political persuasion. if there’s anything laughable, it’s your refusal or incapability of understanding the nuance. it would really be nice to encounter something other than partisan automation, but sadly that’s about 99% of what one encounters here.

@ Grumpopolis – hey if Bachman was a democrat & she said the same things she says. We’d still think she is shallow. So I think your little nuance analogy is BUNK. One deserves respect from her acts (Obama) one just says crap & hopes that it flies (Bachman) Hate to say it but you missed the nuance of it all also.

Why did Fallon apologize? That loser musician should be apologizing..

can you say “Thin Skinned” ?

Was it a poor selection of music? Yes. Is it discrimination against Consesrvatives? No – it is a statement about THIS woman, not all conservatives. Should NBC apologize? No – Fallon, whom I believe is one of the show producers as well as host, has apologized for the action of the band under his employ. THe band leader should apologize for showing disrespect to a woman … even one who is a “Lyin’ A## B####” like Mrs. Bachman.

Frau Eva when you let yourself get into a tiff with a late night show over a song they played that pretty much says “I’m done as a serious candidate.”

ajole, a nuance is a subtle difference between two things. an analogy is a similarity between two things. other than saying that the word “nuance” is analogous to the phrase “subtle difference”, i’m not quite sure what a nuance analogy would even be. in fact, the words nuance and analogy, although not strictly antonyms, certainly are not synonymous. other than coming to the aid of a fellow ideologue, i’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.

What’s interesting is the NASCAR thing and this are not even in the same ballpark.

This is the one part of your statement that is correct. The NASCAR FANS booed Obama. If the audience had booed Bachmann, it would have been private citizens expressing their opinions.

Roots are employees of NBC and the Jimmy Fallon show. A TRUE comparison would be Hank Williams Jr. saying Obama and Boehner playing golf is like Hitler playing with Netenyahu and Roots caling Bachmann a Lying A** B.

We all know what happened to Hank. The same should happen to the band. But since their outrageous behavior was against a conservative, rather than a liberal, I won’t hold my breath.

The band’s actions clearly were racist in nature. The band should be replaced, Failure to replace the band, should result in viewers turning off Fallon.

Reverse racism is no more tolerable than regular racism.

RICKMCDANIEL: “The band’s actions clearly were racist in nature.” – - – HOW? How did the band treat Bachman differently purely because of her race? – - – RICKMCDANIEL: “Reverse racism is no more tolerable than regular racism.” – - – There is no such thing as reverse racism or reverse discrimination. Either racism (i.e. discrimination because of race) occurs or it doesn’t. The identity of the vicitim and perpetrator are irrelevant. Either discrimination (i.e. arbitrarily different treament becuase of a group one appears to belong to) occurs or it doesn’t. The identity of the vicitim and perpetrator are irrelevant. Consequently, racism (and discrimination) either is or is not, and it does not matter what the victim looks like or what the perpetrator looks like. In fact, people can engage in racism (or discrimination) against someone who looks just like them. Ditto for sexism. That either is or is not also.

Guess that drummer was getting uppity.

Conservatives pull the victim card.

Aww, you poor things, If everybody hates you, then you’re probably not going to win the next election.

If you believe you have a hope of winning the election, you are NOT a minority.

My only complaint is that he played the wrong song. It should have been Gnarl’s Barkley’s “Crazy”.

gary i agree with you, it was a joke and even if it was in poor taste it does not have to become a political banner.
now think about this not everything has to to be a fight and well, an apology was given saturday night live could probably get away with it and be funny. now that is a double standard but not to how they treat dem and rep i think they trash them all. lol yes i am laughing, gary laughing with you

This is in no way like Michelle Obama being booed at NASCAR. She was booed because her entourage blocked the gate used by the drivers. That made several drivers miss the drivers’ meeting. Any drivers who miss that meeting have their start position moved to the rear of the pack. That’s why they booed Mrs. Obama.

Where is the outrage from groups like the National Organization for Women?? Where is the outrage from every politician–male or female???? Why hasn’t Jimmy Fallon fired the Obama supporter that played this song???? If Fallon doesn’t fire them then shouldn’t NBC fire Fallon??? Why hasn’t NBC apologized?? Does NBC stand for National Barack Channel??? Is MSNBC indicative of the entire NBC program?? Are Democrats incapable of treating someone with an opposing point of view with respect???

mizfw, I call bovine excrement on your claim. And that’s NOT what Rush Limp-paw said. And what you Teapublicans defended.

I love the smell of fake Republican outrage in the morning

This is typical of the liberal news media. I’m surprised ABC is posting this, as a rule
they are one of the first to support any dirt on any conservative male or female.

If Hank Jr was fired for his comment then Thompson should be fired for this incident. If not then their is a double standard……..but we already knew that didn’t we…

whathappened08, we have had a bellyful of how much “respect” and “old fashioned ideas” the Teapublicans have shown since their four year hissy-fit started.

And defending calling a black woman “uppity” is only the most recent example.

You can’t really imagine that anything the right has had coming to it is not pure unadorned karma.

Some people are crazy.

No reason to have had to apologize. The song was in no way Sexist. It may have been at bit bias but hey she is bias towards the elderly, poor and middle class, so its a fair and balanced song just like fox is fair and balanced.

Bachmann is a moron. Her followers are mindless, ignorant morons. She deserves the same amount of respect that she gives to people of other parties, social classes and races….ABSOLUTELY NONE. She is a fool, so are her fellow GOP candidates. The Roots did a just and sane thing by playing a song with a title which fits her perfectly.
