KEEP TALKING, BACHMANN

The more the American public hears from you, the sooner they will realize you really are a flake.

Bachmann mistakes John Quincy Adams for a Founding Father
The Daily Caller – Tue, Jun 28, 2011

Minnesota GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann, now an official presidential candidate, wrangled with George Stephanopoulos of “Good Morning America” during an interview Tuesday morning when the host gave her an opportunity to clear up past gaffes.

But when addressing her March comment that the Founding Fathers “worked tirelessly” to end slavery, Bachmann made what could be construed as another misstatement.

“Well if you look at one of our Founding Fathers, John Quincy Adams, that’s absolutely true,” said Bachmann. “He tirelessly worked throughout his life to make sure that we did, in fact, one day eradicate slavery from our nation.”

When Stephanopoulos pointed out that John Quincy Adams is not generally considered to be a Founding Father, Bachmann said he may have been a young boy, but he was “absolutely a part of the Revolutionary War era.”
