Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has a message for her supporters in a new fundraising letter: Don't let the media do to her what they did to Sarah Palin -- "Don't let them Palinize me!" "With Governor Palin taking a well-deserved step out of the spotlight, it appears that I may be absorbing even more of the liberals' scorn," says Bachmann. "And, I'd really appreciate your support so that I can defend myself against their attacks. She later adds: "But just as they did with Sarah Palin, the more I talk about the issues, the more they attack with below-the-belt personal hits. In fact, yesterday, a Minnesota paper gave a full column to a hit piece on one of my kids!" This would appear to be a reference to the joking stories about her son joining Teach For America, after she'd called AmeriCorps a "re-education camp" and that she would be very concerned about her own children ever joining. The letter cites Urban Dictionary, an open-source site that contains a mix of definitions from across the political spectrum. The word "Palinize" has mostly negative definitions, but a few pro-Palin ones about being twisted and distorted by the liberal media -- and those are the definitions that Bachmann cites. However, the letter did pick out one definition that might actually be anti-Palin (and filled with dramatic irony, given the selective citation): "To exaggerate the truth or lie by omission."

The lady will get zero support from most 4um members.
I was under the impression that she was taken under Ron Paul's wing a while back and has started coming out now saying the things she's saying. If that's the case, don't sell her short. I could be thinking of somebody else though.

That comment was with a tad of sarcasm, as we have a ton of women haters on this forum, especially if they are politicians. Most of the names applied to Palin here were not nice, so I listed the better ones.
Yeah, that's her. I'll never understand her unflagging devotion to Jr., but her knack for making commies soil themselves is laudable.
