Michelle Bachman wins Christian votes by lying

The Story in the DNT’s paper version was more stark regarding Bachmann’s lying but its not on their website. The story in the Minneapolis Trib softens the message saying that Bachmann merely alledged that Obama’s Obamacare was the first time in US History that the Federal government began paying for abortions. Sounds like a lie to me but perhaps that’s excusable if its for Jesus:

She skewered Obama’s health care overhaul as his most “egregious” intrusion on personal freedom, alleging that it represents “the first time in the history of our nation that we have taxpayer-subsidized abortion.” She made no reference to federal law and language added to the landmark health care legislation that backers say expressly forbids federal money from being used to fund abortions.

I guess this helps explain why Michelle is the top choice among students at Jerry Falwell’s Liberty College for the Republican Presidential nomination.
