This woman is so DUMB

The leader of the Tea Party Caucus is not a smart person:

 Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann's visit to the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire got off to a rocky start on Saturday morning when she misstated a key fact about the American Revolution in a speech to a group of local conservative activists and students.
"What I love about New Hampshire and what we have in common is our extreme love for liberty," the potential GOP presidential candidate said. "You're the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord. And you put a marker in the ground and paid with the blood of your ancestors the very first price that had to be paid to make this the most magnificent nation that has ever arisen in the annals of man in 5,000 years of recorded history."
In fact, the 1775 Battles of Lexington and Concord that marked the first military engagements of the American Revolution took place in Massachusetts. But Bachmann did not correct her error when she referenced the battles again later in her speech.
Bachmann's contorting of a basic fact about the fight for American independence was made all the more glaring because of her repeated references throughout her speech to the nation's founding.

She followed up by posting this on Facebook:
Later she admitted to the screw up on her Facebook page.

"So I misplaced the battles (of) Concord and Lexington by saying they were in New Hampshire. It was my mistake, Massachusetts is where they happened. New Hampshire is where they are still proud of it!"

What a stupid person.  Not only does she embarrass herself by showing she doesn't know anything about the founding of her country, when she claims to channel the founding Fathers, but then she goes and insults a whole state, because the people there aren't as dumb as she is?  Of course, how many people can be as dumb as her.  These people have no self-awareness.  I am embarrassed that at one time I considered myself a Republican, because now that would link me to the largest movement of angry, greedy stupid people ever assembled in the United States.
