Newsweek to Run Unflattering Photo of Michele Bachmann on Cover; Calls Her “The Queen of Rage” UPDATE: “NOW” Defends Bachmann – Calls Photo Cover “Sexist”

Of all the photos of GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann they could have used, this is what Newsweek has chosen to feature on their cover. Notice they call Bachmann, “The Queen of Rage.”

Can anyone really say with a straight face that the Mainstream Media is not totally biased against conservatives?

UPDATE: The National Organization for Women – hardly a fan of Michele Bachmann – has chimed in on the cover photo. They agree it crosses the line, calling it “sexist.” Probably still not enough for the Bachmann haters on the Left to admit the obvious.

DAILY CALLER: One of presidential candidate Michele Bachmann’s major political opponents is defending her against what it says is blatant sexism on the part of Newsweek magazine.

Monday, the National Organization for Women (NOW) spoke out against Newsweek’s most recent cover, which features an extreme close-up of Michele Bachmann and the title “The Queen of Rage.”

“It’s sexist,” NOW president Terry O’Neill told TheDC. “Casting her in that expression and then adding ‘The Queen of Rage’ I think [it is]. Gloria Steinem has a very simple test: If this were done to a man or would it ever be done to a man – has it ever been done to a man? Surely this has never been done to a man.” . . . Read More

    Raising taxes during a bad economy is a BAD idea… almost all economists (Keynesians, too) agree.  Lowering them has PROVEN to spur economic growth.

    So what’s the problem now, given that taxes are relatively low?

    Answer: The threat of new taxes is what’s holding back the economy.  Obama and the democrats keep threatening to crush businesses and “the rich” with taxes… and with that uncertainty, who can blame them for sitting on their cash?

    If Obama came out and said that he would hold taxes steady into the future and make the Bush tax cuts permanent, companies would start hiring.

    A lot of libs say they wouldn’t mind paying more taxes…

    My question to them, and to you:

    WHAT’S STOPPING YOU?

    You’re ALLOWED to pay more taxes than you owe.  Put your money where your mouth is.

    But no – I bet you don’t pay a dime more than you have to.  I bet you itemize your taxes and take every deduction you can.

    But you LOVE to tell OTHERS that they should pay more taxes.

    Let’s do this: let’s have a voluntary tax between now and April 15th… everyone who thinks they’re taxed too little can send in more than they owe.

    How much do you want to bet that it’ll bring in almost nothing?

    Why do you think that is?

  • I’m You

    Yeah those Bush TAX cuts really piled on the jobs. Didn’t they? No not at all.Just more of your self serving bullshite.
    Once again you say it’s raining but all can see the lie that you are propagating, as you and yours are pissing down our backs. 
    By the way that is the only thing that trickles down from the Rich and Corporations stinking hot fetid feculence.

    PS I’ll show you my tax return when you show me yours.
     But I do not itemize. Standard Deduction and mortgage interest.
    Unlike you and yours I  care for my country and I am  interested in a good others as well as myself. 
    Now please carry on your happy myth that before the Satan Obama  was in office everything was soooo good.
    Everyone please get out your umbrellas, he’s gonna piss on us again.

     I don’t see Liberals behind this.  Michele Bachmann as the Republican nominee = every Democrat’s wet dream.

    You do realize that in order to take the mortgage interest dediction, you must first itemize… so you are obviously lying or just completely o ignorant.

    Why take the mortgage interest deduction though?  Why not just pay more taxes if you can afford it?

  • I’m you

    LOL awe that made you feel like you won something. Give the man a Teddy bear on a keychain.
    My turbo tax program says you are wrong.
    We all know who is lying here. It is you and your kind. The people that try to convince us that their piss on our backs is a refreshing summer rain.
    The last fifteen years have shown us just how greedy and stupid you faux republicans are.
    You don’t care if you ruin America as long as you and your ilk are sitting pretty.
    You don’t mind even a little bit that you are destroying America’s middle class
    The American people have let you do things your way for years and years and all can see that your way has driven this country to the edge of an abyss.
    The American people want to raise taxes on corporations and the rich a Paltry 3% and you and your greedy pals fight it as if it were life itself. Yet you are willing to throw children, students and the elderly under the bus to protect your 3%.
    Shame on you.
    You have no idea what means to be an American.
