Yeah, if I ever need a heart transplant, I’ll be sure to look up a surgeon trained at Liberty University, the greatest college in the history of the universe.

Pandering to the panderer, post-mortem, yet!

Oh, come on now, Michelle–Liberty CAN’T be as good as Minnesota-Mankato or St. Cloud State…

ROTFLMAO.  She can’t get much funnier then this…..but wait she will come up with something even more insane just wait and see.

Best joke I’ve heard ALL YEAR! 

Considering her limited understanding of history I am guessing that the hot dog also ranks has the greatest culinary invention of all time and ‘Jersey Shore” is the greatest TV show of all time.

Liberty U., the madrassa of the Amerikkkan Taliban.

See, here’s the thing: If there really WAS a Gawd, he’d send a personalized lightning bolt down on this worthless human post haste and spare all “his children” from her finely-tuned insanity and disingenuous-ness.

this is from theonion.com . . . right ?

RIGHT ?

Knowing she’s out it’s time to push for business for her husband’s fake company. The Koch Bros have made it clear a white male will be President even if that man is an idiot/ignorant and as dumb as a door knob.  Sarah has gotten the Koch Bros. memo to stay out.  Now the Micky Mouse member Gov. Christi is being asked to step in but it’s that criminal history he has that is holding him back. 

I’m confused.  She got her god’s very best by living a lie in a sham marriage to an obviously very much in denial gay man?

It might be fair to assume that Winona State University probably isn’t very thrilled to have her as alumna of their institution anyway.

Winona State’s mascot:

Well, Michelle, if your goal is to turn out little psychopaths and sociopaths in the name of your religion, then absolutely, it’s a great place. If your goal is to pollute your country with nonsense ideology that has NOTHING to do with reality, then yep, it’s the place for you. If your goal is to set up a country where people are too STUPID to know their own history, their own heritage, and to ignore the laws and intents of those laws, then yes, by all means, save up your money and go there.

But watch out, if you go there, you may end up JUST like Michelle Bachmann. You too can be a laughing stock to a country that has lost it’s sense of SANITY. And for crazy people to be laughing at you, that’s pretty bad.

Go home, Michelle. Stay there, please. Don’t darken our door any longer, and we will stop laughing hysterically at you every time you open that scary face of yours. Deal?

US News and World Report has a different take on Liberty U

4 year graduation rate – 34% (not good)

Student/faculty ratio 27:1 (not good)

Frosh retention rate 74.5 (not good)

Percentage of students applying who were admitted 90% (terrible)

And a ranking of 80th among Regional Universities South (really terrible)

God damn, that woman is an idiot! No wonder her flimsy campaign is unraveling.

But they do have god…that must be worth some points.

What about her fabulous husband?

U S News & World Report has Liberty U ranked 80th best in the south,right ahead of Bellhaven U of Jackson,Mississippi,right behind Columbia International U of Columbia,SC. This is actually higher than I anticipated,but Ms Bachmann going around advertising herself as a graduate can’t be doing them any favors. I would heartily discourage anyone from enrolling in any of the school’s history programs.

I’d give it a minus 10. Religion has no place in an institution of higher learning. But then, there is NOTHING about Liberty university that says higher learning to me. It only says “serious indoctrination”.

Ri-i-i-g-g-h-h-t-t!!!  Aand a half-term tundra twit was the best-qualified candiate in history for vice president.

Is that Satan?

“Is there any better university in the history of the world?”  Yes, there are PLENTY…
“On the dogmas of religion, as distinguished from moral
principles, all mankind, from the beginning of the world to this day, have been
quarreling, fighting, burning and torturing one another, for abstractions
unintelligible to themselves and to all others, and absolutely beyond the
comprehension of the human mind.” Thomas Jefferson
“Liberty University is just one more X-tian font of un-intelligibility.

I’m inspired.  I think I will get God’s very best for me.  That has made up my mind.  Thank you Michelle, I now have my direction in life.  I want God’s best, so I will never vote for a liar, a tea bagger, a right wing phony or watch Fox news for the rest of my life.  You have inspired me to seek the best and seek the truth!

the greatest in history in graduating hacks 

Take away Bachmann’s cornball religious shtick and she’s got nothing.

“Is there any better university in the history of the world?”

The students in the audience understand that the reason they attend Liberty is because they are below average and could not qualify at a legitimate uinversity. Even so, one would expect them to be insulted by her shameless patronizing.

If you saw the picture of her doing whatever she was doing to the corn dog at the Iowa State Fair you would know she loves hot dogs in many ways.

She didn’t settle, but got the Best in Marcus?
OK, pundits, how long till she files for divorce?
When they start talking like that, it’s only a matter of time till she says, “Just Kidding.”

“Is there any better university in the history of the world?”

To which the answer is “Yes, all others.”

He has the perfect scam.  He brings confused impressionable young gay males into his office and shuts the door.  What could be better for him.

She just exudes crazy and stupid, doesn’t she? I’m just sorry she’s starting to lag in the polls. I hope she sticks around to the bitter end, because she’s so goddam funny.

yeah, the greatest in brain washing

unpaid bills!  lumber!  unpaid bills!
r u waiting for god to send the cash?

as the saying goes – if they had given falwell an enema after he died they could have buried him in a matchbox!

in stating that u r including “regent university” which is pat robertson’s den of lies.

One of those reasons, she said, was “the very best man that I know, my husband Marcus Bachmann.” Oh Michelle Dumbbell quit it. In two years she’ll be doing the opening stand up act for Wayne Newton in Vegas.  

they teach universe created 6000 years ago and forbid study of stem cells.  when my son got 1550 on sats they called out of blue and offered him a full scholarship. i pointed out they had no one else in school with sats over 1200 and he would be 500 over their average.   I told them i would not consider liberty even if they offered to pay him 20000 to come. 
they also have a 4th tier law school.  many were  bush appointees who screwed up department of justice policies.

“Is there any better university in the history of the world? None better at producing Christian hypocrites .

Please name one significant accomplishment from a “graduate” from Liberty “University”.

That should bring in more grant money from the terrible government,heh Michelle? Didn’t hear you say,how much does Liberty receive from the strapped system?

Their parents had lots of $$, though.  Which explains why the students are there.

Wow, that’s high praise coming from bachmann!  I imagine the next scene was thousands running from the university hoping bachmann brain isn’t catching and can’t be taught!

Greater than Oxford, Cambridge, or M.I.T?  Um…NO.

And then God spoketh and he sayth
“This bitch is crazy!”

Good advice Michelle.  We won’t “settle”.  Of course that means you’ll never be POTUS, EVER!

…or Harvard or Stanford or University of Phoenix or Apollo College or I.T.T. Tech or the “Rocko Club School for Women”.

She should run for Panderer in Chief.

Yes, that’s a given. There are hundreds of colleges in the South that cater to below average students who have no business occupying classroom space except for the fact that their parents have $$. Many of the schools are little better than diploma mills, of which Liberty U. is one.

On the flip side, there are above average students who could qualify for the better schools but don’t attend because they lack the financial resources.

Bachmann’s “crazy” amp definitely goes past “11″.

Liberty, right up there with Glenn Beck’s University of “I don’t remember”.

This was funny….a bunch of deluded dolts.

Dawkins on Liberty

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um3lzs00mcg

It’s not a University 1st off.  It’s a building that teaches people bullshit.  2nd it should be closed for CHILD endangerment, CHILD ABUSE..and MENTAL abuse of children.  Morons the world is full OF MORONS and there’s nothing we can do about it.  Oh well.

I would love to be stuck in an elevator with this woman, and set her eyes watering with my foulest farts.

Right up there with Bob Jones University.  Where do graduates of these universities go when they graduate?  Do they find careers?  Who the hell would hire them?  Critical thinking skills have to be pretty low on the requirements to graduate list. Oh well, I guess the local Money Mart always needs another assistant manager.

…and last, but by no means least, the local community college.

eeww.  She clearly has not had a real liberal arts education.  “Christian warrior”?  I doubt Jesus would approve of that terminology.

The reality is that whether we like places like Liberty University, they teach a wide array of subjects like any university. And very few have any real connection to their fundamentalist religious and right-wing political ideology. So in those majors they do offer a good education with quality professors. The idea that all conservative Christians are idiots is a stupid idea in itself. This is about an ideology and not about intelligence. The Soviet Union had lots of intelligent people with good universities, all (or most) imbued with an ideology that has been shown to be unworkable and incorrect. The Left fools only itself if it assumes that Liberty, its students and staff and others like are simply stupid. They are not.

Not stupid-debilitated.
If you don’t accept the Theory of natural selection for ideological reasons you will never be a top flight biologist no matter what your IQ might be-sorry.
You will not excel in cosmology and physics if you are continually required by your religious delusions to create and defend the idea of a ‘god’ outside of time and space.
You will never understand the foundations of the US constitution if you see it as an expression of christianity rather than the enlightenment-sorry.
You will never be honest nor ethical if you see christian dominionism as a worthy goal to be achieved at any cost-sorry.

Unfortunately a good many of them are hired by winger christo-fascist politicians.
Monica Goodling, the graduate of Pat Robertson’s Regent University law
school who played a major role in the Justice Department’s firing of
U.S. attorneys is just one example of hundreds.

“Our ‘god’ is an awesome god who can kick your god’s ass…yay team…”

Again as I wrote, many students don’t actually major in biology nor physics. There are a lot of university majors and subjects that either don’t touch on, or barely touch on their ideology. Also, Liberty is a large university in Appalachian Virginia (a couple hours from where I live) that attracts many students who are more interested in a university education than they are in the school’s ideology.

Sara Diamond has frequently noted how the secular left misunderstands the Christian Right, often due to a certain prejudice. Read some of the comments to this article and you will see a lot of bigotry. I, personally, disagree with Liberty and I would never go there, nor want my children to go there. But I can be honest enough to recognize that despite many problems they do in fact offer a quality education in many areas. It’s certainly nothing like Harvard, or even University of Virginia to name a more local school.

Bigotry, whether on the Right or the Left, is ugly.

I sorely wish this woman would simply stop eating raw eggs on a daily basis…for it is interfering with her thought process and she’s losing the ability to focus…..

In other words, she’s misusing her God given talents..

I would say you are exhibiting a bit of bigotry when you imply everyone on the left assumes such things.

She is a little too old for the strip club, don’t you think?

BE HONEST!!!  I implied no such thing!!!  Read comments on this article! You will see bigotry. I highly doubt that everyone on the Left comments on this article. And I didn’t imply that I, myself, am bigoted about this. Get over yourself!!!

“….The Left fools only itself if it assumes that Liberty, its students and staff and others like are simply stupid….”

You didn’t qualify that statement with ‘some of the left’ did you.
That you see bigotry in responses to Bachmann’s own obvious bias says more about you than us.

The christian taliban has been building a system of alternate education in the US since Reagan.
The aren’t doing it out of boredom but rather for very specific goals.
Many christian colleges require a statement of belief from professors and that means they are not getting first tier candidates.

I think  you’re a concern troll.

Obviously, you don’t know what you are talking about! Bachmann is an idiot. So what! I don’t expect much from her. But I do tire of hearing/reading bigoted responses from ‘some’ people on the Left when the subject of religion comes up.

“Many christian colleges require a statement of belief from professors and that means they are not getting first tier candidates.”  This statement itself is rather revealing. There are lots of highly intelligent and good candidates who are Christians, even conservative Christians. This is also true of Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Atheists, etc.

Perhaps you are troll writing so that people may assume that people on the Left lack intelligence.

You are really tiresome.

“Obviously, you don’t know what you are talking about!”

(Yes-it’s so obvious you can’t even tell me why without getting completely muddled-as the rest of this post will demonstrate.)

 ”Bachmann is an
idiot. So what! I don’t expect much from her.”

(No bigotry there, eh? But somehow it’s a bad thing when others here do it? Did someone say ‘get over yourself’?)

 ”But I do tire of
hearing/reading bigoted responses from ‘some’ people on the Left when
the subject of religion comes up.”

(Religion debilitates people-I stand by my statement. If you answer every question with ‘god did it’ you have lost some portion of your human capacity for curiosity and exploration.)

{{“Many christian colleges
require a statement of belief from professors and that means they are
not getting first tier candidates.”}}

“  This statement itself is rather
revealing. There are lots of highly intelligent and good candidates who
are Christians, even conservative Christians. This is also true of
Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Atheists, etc.”

(But what self respecting professorial candidate would bother with such requirements if they could land a job with a college that didn’t require it? Simple points seem to escape you.)

“Perhaps you are troll writing so that people may assume that people on the Left lack intelligence.”

(Perhaps you should stop pretending to be a leftie and admit you’re a pseudo con christer troll?
Oh-and for the record-bite me, you’re an idiot.)

Thank you for showing the obvious truth here. You are a bigot, therefore you cannot allow facts to get in the way of your bigotry against all thing religious.

“(But what self respecting professorial candidate would bother with such
requirements if they could land a job with a college that didn’t require
it? Simple points seem to escape you.)”  You simply show your bigotry! A Muslim professor would have no trouble with a Muslim statement of faith at a Muslim university. A Christian professor generally has little to no trouble with such statements either. So yes, self-respecting professors will chose to teach at Christian schools. Your bigotry doesn’t allow you to accept the fact that there are plenty of religious people who are far more intelligent and much less bigoted than you.

“(Religion debilitates people-I stand by my statement. If you answer
every question with ‘god did it’ you have lost some portion of your
human capacity for curiosity and exploration.)”  This over-generalization again reveals your bigotry. Your idiotic and bigoted assumption that religious people answer every question with “god did it” demonstrates your complete lack of objectivity and knowledge of the subject. It is a ludicrous statement. Most religious people have not lost their capacity for curiosity and exploration. To say that they have is simply stupid and ill-informed and ignorant of history. It reminds one of the sort of bigoted statements made about different ethnic groups.

AS for the troll business, perhaps you are too ignorant to realize that you can actually access the profile of those who comment and see what they have commented on and so forth. I wasn’t serious about you being a troll, I was tired of your sanctimonious bigotry. But for example, I see that you also post comments on AlterNet and Debunking Christianity (revealing).

And of course, when you have no real argument other than to figuratively shout bigoted statements, you resort to insults and false accusations. It figures.

Like most of what you have posted what seems ‘obvious’ to you is ridiculous to everyone else.

Any muslim who applied only to a muslim institution or christian who applied only to a christian institution would be either so devout/fanatical they wouldn’t want to do anything else or would be insecure/incompetent. You can try to spin it all you want.

Some religious people do indeed answer every question with ‘god did it’ right down to ‘god’ supposedly supplying nuclear force. It is common place among fundie christers-I have known many personally who do so. To the degree that a religious person does so, to that degree they have lost the driving forces of the true scientist. And if you don’t think christianity has stunted science in most of the 2,000 years of it’s existence it is you who should study a bit of history.

Awwww-did I hurt baby’s feelings enough to make you search my posting history?
I post on dozens of sites-so?
And you are tired of ‘my sanctimonious bigotry’? Really”?
Hilarious you judgmental twit.

You were concern trolling and you know it- Deal.

So the bigot decided to respond again. Again with more bigotry. You are so wrapped up in your own bigotry that you can’t even see it. And since you have no real argument you recommence with the insults and false accusations, and of course repeated bigotry. I could care less about where you post! I was simply pointing out that it would be possible for you to find out that I post frequently on Raw Story: it is my principle source of news. Though your own bigotry would never allow you to see truth if contradicts your well-constructed ideology that prevents your from questioning your own ideas at all. Rest well in your bigotry, it’s all you have.
