The Left will stop at nothing to destroy every Republican candidate who steps forward this election cycle to challenge The One. He has proven to be a colossal failure of a president, who the American people have figured out is totally consumed by the pomp and circumstance of the office incapable of being a serious leader, so they must engage in character assassination against every potential opponent to protect him from the same fate dealt to another big time loser of a president, former President Jimmy Carter. The Left has actually edited a speech given by U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann to a group of Iowa voters to make it appear she said, "Who likes white people?" The question drew a roar of approval from her audience. The only problem was that she actually asked the crowd, "Who likes wet people?" You see, it was pouring down rain while she delivered her speech. The Daily Caller
sets the records straight on the audio recording that has gone viral on a number of liberal websites today:
Ever a magnet for controversy, Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann is once again the subject of a vicious rumor. A doctored video surfaced this week that appears to show Bachmann asking an audience, “Who likes white people?”
Accusations of racism followed, as blogs and websites including Wonkette used the video as evidence of Bachmann’s extreme views.
Alice Stewart, a spokesperson for Bachmann’s presidential campaign, explained to The Daily Caller: “She said, ‘Who likes wet people?’ It was pouring down rain that night.”
A Yahoo News report also laid the rumor to rest by pointing out that when Bachmann seized the microphone on stage, her audience was soaking wet and as a way to lighten the mood, she jokingly asked, “Who likes wet people?” Immediately after, Bachmann said, “Yeah, that’s right. Because we have the God of the winds and the rain don’t we?” That phrase was not included in the doctored video.
The comments were made at the Midwest Spirit Christian Music Festival on August 5 in West Des Moines, Iowa. Bachmann gave a speech about her Christian faith.
