Culture war escalation on the left.
The American people are trapped in the leftist vise. They have a chokehold on the culture, big media, movies, music, academia. It's like we are living in Soviet Russia when the "party" completely controlled the message.
The left ruined the country, destroyed it from the inside out.
How do they answer for Obama? By destroying, ridiculing and marginalizing every rational, reasoned, America-proud patriot. This isn't about party politics -- that is so fifty years ago. This is a civil war -- the seditionists are exalted and the patriots are demonized. The past forty years has been a slo-mo coup.
This is so vile and outrageous -- why do we have to put up with this? How intimidated the left is by strong, fierce, unapologetic women. I love Bachmann and would love to see her come from behind like Secretariat.
FOX News Jimmy Fallon Show's Musical Message to Michele Bachmann Angers Women Read
Jimmy Fallon's "Late Night" bandleader decided to send Republican Presidential contender Michele Bachmann a musical message Monday night that has angered some women.
As Bachmann strode on to the NBC stage for Fallon's late-night show, the program's band, led by Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, played a snippet of a 1985 Fishbone song called "Lyin' Ass Bitch."
The song begins with a distinctive "la la la la la la la la la" refrain -- the only words that were audible before Bachmann, smiling and waving to the audience, sat down for her interview
The song itself, about a relationship gone wrong, isn't political, but it repeats the refrain "Lyin' Ass Bitch" about a dozen times.
Bachmann's campaign had no immediate comment, but the snub had some women criticizing the "Late Night" song choice.
“It was completely inappropriate and totally disrespectful. If you are going to invite someone on your show, and enjoy whatever ratings bump you get off it, then you at the very least must treat that person with a minimum level of respect,” said Rachel Sklar, editor at large of Mediaite.com and founder of Change The Ratio, an organization geared toward promoting women. “When I found out the name of the song, my jaw dropped. I love that show and truly expected more from it. I really did.”
Feministing editor Chloe Angyal agreed, adding that the language is unacceptable.
“It's never acceptable to call a woman a bitch. Period,” Angyal told Fox411. “Challenge Bachmann on the issues all you want, fact check her, call her out on her dishonesty. Do not call her, or anyone else, a bitch."
This isn’t the first time that Bachmann has been attacked along gender lines. Back in January, things grew heated between Bachmann and the Democratic Senator Arlen Spector on a local Philadelphia radio station.
"I'm going to treat you like a lady," Mr. Specter parried. "Now act like one."
Bachmann replied, "I am a lady."
While appearing on Fallon’s program, where she was promoting her book “Core of Conviction,” Bachmann was less veiled than the bandleader with her own jabs.
When asked the one word that immediately came to mind when she heard fellow Republican contender Rick Perry’s name, Bachmann joked: “That’s not one word, I gotta do three: Governor. Texas. I can’t remember, oops.”
Before the show, bandleader Thompson tweeted hints as to his band's plans for Bachmann's entrance music.
"aight late night walkon song devotees: you love it when we snark: this next one takes the cake. ask around cause i aint tweeting title," he wrote on his Twitter account.
Apparently worried his original tweet might be too obtuse, Thompson tweeted again:
"take a guess. buy the record anyway. its classic and should be in your vocabulary," he wrote with a link to a Fishbone album containing the song.
Fallon joked on Twitter after the show that Thompson was grounded.
The show itself didn't have any comment.
The Roots frequently make obscure song choices as Fallon's guests are introduced, but they don't usually call guests derogatory names.
For example, when Fox Business Network's Lou Dobbs came out, they played part of Genesis' "Illegal Alien," a reference to Dobbs' frequent commentaries on the topic. Kathie Lee Gifford was saluted with UB40's "Red Red Wine," a reference to the drink she often shares on-air with "Today" co-host Hoda Kotb.
