“Talk abot youse mixt messages!”

Michelle Bachmann, the attention-grabbing wingnut that Minnesota should be ashamed to reelect, let a big one slip on Sean Hannity’s radio show on Tuesday, August 18:

“That’s why people need to continue to go to the town halls, continue to melt the phone lines of their liberal members of Congress and let them know, under no certain circumstances will I give the government control over my body and my health care decisions.” (emphasis mine)

Er….that message sounds awfully familiar, but not from Bachmann and her ilk.

Health care, fundamentalism, and UHG

“When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movement become headlong — faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thought of obstacles and forget that a precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it’s too late.”

Thus spoke Paul-Muad’Dib’s mother in Frank Herbert’s Dune. It’s good advice, especially for United Health Group that has pulled horseshit like this, especially the bit about pushing employees to attend meetings run by fundie wingnut crazies like Dave Daubenmire.

I dodged a serious bullet when I didn’t get a job with those sleezeballs.
