Michele Bachmann challenged to battle of wits.

NJ high school student challenges Bachmann to debate on US Constitution.

Oh snap!

For those who don't feel like reading the whole letter, here is the summary:
Dear Representative Bachmann,
You're a dumbass. Even a 15 year old can see that, and you're not even from my state. You're an embarrassment to woman and our country. Meet me in the playground at 3pm and prepare for a verbal smackdown.

Hugs and kisses.
Amy

I don't know, isn't this a bit like someone challenging a person in a wheelchair to a foot race?

One legged man in an ass kicking contest, etc.

Well, she does have a law degree, so in theory she had to have taken at least one constitutional law course.

She eventually went to a well respected school (William & Mary Law School) for her Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree, but she got her Juris Doctor from Oral Roberts 'University' if that tells you anything.

*snicker*

High school girls can be so mean. It sickens me to see girls bullying those that can't defend themselves. Who will stand up for poor, defenseless Michelle?

i went to school for computer programming and had a month of C programming. Ask me how much I remember.

She's a Congresswoman... If she can't remember more about the constitution than you can remember of C programming, perhaps she should consider another line of work.

I think what this girl is doing is awesome. I wish more citizens would challenge their government in ways that make sense (as in, ways that don't involve birth certificates or "uncommon guests").

I think most of these congressional officials would benefit from repeating HS PEL sometimes their sheer ignorance is astounding to me, as well as scary.

I support it. Is there a petition or Facebook Page or something connected to this?

When you read through the comments in the article posted by the OP and see how the people supporting Bachmann are calling the high school sophmore an "elitist" you start to realize that the conservatives use of this term is really perverse. It shows how anti-intellectual conservatives have become for them to use the word "elitist" to describe a person that hasnt even yet obtained a high school diploma. The "elite" used to represent people of a higher social class, or people who have obtained an advantage through great wealth. Conservatives arent bothered by that. What bothers conservatives is someone with an IQ.

That's because they themselves don't have one. You see, if Amy's letter had been written to Obama, included a lot of "y'all", misspellings, conservative platitudes, and given off the distinct impression that she was home-schooled by her home-schooled parents who were home-schooled by their home-schooled parents, then conservatives would love it.

The problem is, she spelled correctly, came across as very mature for a 15-year-old, and, I think it's safe to say that, since she has the confidence to challenge Michelle Bachmann to a debate, probably knows a hell of a lot more than Bachmann and her fans about the constitution and US History.















Oh... sorry... too stereotypical of Tea-Party conservatives?






They stereotype themselves.

That little girl gives me hope. Thank you Amy Myers.

If this ever happened I would pay a lot for a front row seat.

+1

Amy Myers for president. Is it too soon to put her on the 2012 ticket?

You have to be over 35 and born in the USA. She'll be eligible in 2032, but then people will scream that her birth certificate has been 'shopped.

Well, as you should know, most lawyers aren't any more or less knowledgeable than anyone else.

Her public statements are routinely so idiotic from a legal and historical perspective that they defy explanation. Which, combined with her intellectual pedigree makes me suspect that her saying something doesn't mean she believes any of it. I have no evidence to support this, but I have a strong hunch most of Ms. Bachmann's act is kabuki theater.

Popcorn anyone? This should be fun! Thank you Amy for doing this. We need more people like you in this world. Let me know when those front row seats go on sale

This is what comes into my head whenever I hear that expression.

You know its almost irrationally disgusting how reflexive the Tea Party Republicans are....Its almost scary ...they are hell bent on being the opposition regardless of the Stance on the left, even if its in league with their own i am convinced they would flip flop to perpetuate this evil stigma about Liberals to there really all white very scared base of supporter....

The thing about bachman is she just knows how to get reelected but nothing else....but as far as the whole constitutional law thing pssh she can just forget that I guess....I hate the argument people give that she can't remember anything...

as my dad says "Even a General is Still a soldier" so if he forgot the fundamentals of marksmanship all of a sudden that would be a problem...

Also when did going to a public school and paying attention make you an elitist

To be fair, Oral Roberts University is a fully accredited university by an organization recognized by the Department of Education. So in theory, if you recognize Nortre Dame as a competent higher learning institution, you should also recognize Oral Roberts.

To be really fair, though, it must also be noted that due to some kind of financial difficulty, Oral Roberts no longer has a law school. It's library was eventually converted into Regent University school of law. Which is hella weird because law schools are cash cows for universities.

Bachmann is a disgrace to the party. The fact that a child has challenged her to a debate says it all.
