Cherry Hill student's challenge to Tea Party champion Michele Bachmann prompts 'threats

Cherry Hill student's challenge to Tea Party champion Michele Bachmann prompts 'threats' | Courier-Post | courierpostonline.com

A Cherry Hill High School East sophomore who challenged Tea Party champion Michele Bachmann to a constitutional debate says she is concerned for her personal safety.

"A lot of them are calling me a whore," 16-year-old Amy Myers said, referring to anonymous comments reacting to online news reports about her challenge to the 55-year-old Minnesota congresswoman.

What is wrong with people? We should be applauding someone that age being interested enough in our nations and its politics that she would even bother to write a letter to our elected representatives. Instead this person receives threats?

Unbelievable.

Some people are seriously messed in the head.

My sentiments exactly.
 
Re: Cherry Hill student's challenge to Tea Party champion Michele Bachmann prompts 't

Stupid bitch belongs in the kitchen, shame on her for showing intelligence and an interest in politics, that there be mens work.
 
Re: Cherry Hill student's challenge to Tea Party champion Michele Bachmann prompts 't

I am suspicious of the facts in this case, and who would threaten someone unless it was all a set up.

I'm sorry but the Liberals are getting desperate to find a way to shut down Conservatives and they are not above going this.

Just a thought.

Yes yes.

I'm sure if it was a conservative high school student who challenged Obama and got threatened you'd be going

"Its a conspiracy".

:lamo It couldn't just be idiots on the internet being idiots on the internet, no, it has to be a deliberate conspiracy. You're a tad too partisan there Councilman.

It seems very suspicious. There is very little evidence given and even an unidentified neighbor is suspected.

It's a nobody trying to get some publicity, and it worked.

I can under stand Bachmann's reluctance to debate a high school student, maybe Amy should try Palin? Nothing that the tea baggers would do would surprise me.

For a politician, there is no upside to debating a highschool student. If you lose, its very very bad for you and if you win, well you are just being a bully.

Not that I'm defending the stupid internet comments (which, from the looks of it, are about as stupid as you'd expect internet comments to be), but no, we really shouldn't be applauding attention-seeking behavior.

Big whoop, anonymous people on the internet hate her. Sorry but if you make the news in any sort of political way whatsoever, there's going to be internet commenters saying mean things about you. This is really a non-issue, based on something that was already a non-issue to begin with.

I would agree with you if it were just random sites, however

"I got a call from the principal that the main office received threatening mail," said the computer programmer and single father.

Doing stuff like this crosses the line with me.

True. Some people are too whacky to contain their whackiness on the internet, sadly.

Still, if she wanted to be treated as politically equal to Bachmann, well, wish granted I guess. (I can only imagine how much threatening/hate mail she gets.)

Perhaps, I just wish people would calm the **** down. Some random highschooler does not deserve this level of hatred.

Let's not pretend though that nobody on the left would be capable of such a thing. Just sayin'.

So you think it was a conspiracy?

Interesting.

I think his point was the left is capable of doing similar acts. Not that the people sending these things to this girl are from the left.

I will wait to see his response, but given that he quoted Spud's laughing at Councilman's comment about a conspiracy, its a logical conclusion that X is trying to defend Councilman.

Thanks Soccerboy, that is exactly correct. I can see where I wasn't being quite clear.
 
Re: Cherry Hill student's challenge to Tea Party champion Michele Bachmann prompts 't

I withdraw my comment then.
 
Re: Cherry Hill student's challenge to Tea Party champion Michele Bachmann prompts 't

Nevermind X said I was right. Yay I was right more than once before the rapture.

I responded to Spud because he mentioned something about being partisan, as I think it would be partisan to assume folks on the right are the only ones who would do such a thing. I do see, though, how you misunderstood my post.

Obviously there are idiots on the sides of the aisle, which is why I didn't bring that point up in the first place. This was more of a general appeal to our collective humanity, which is deeper than our individual ideologies.

I agree, if the girl had called Bachmann a retarded balloon head, there would still be no excuse for threatening her.
 
Re: Cherry Hill student's challenge to Tea Party champion Michele Bachmann prompts 't

I would so date this girl if she wasn't 16.
