- "Controversial Congresswoman Michele Bachmann's battle with migraines has been well-documented. But a conservative-leaning consultant group's attempt to send her a massager to alleviate the headaches almost ended in comical disaster after a sex toy was reportedly sent to Bachmann's office instead.
The Columbus-based Strategy Group for Media has a stable of conservative clients that have included Todd Akin (of "legitimate rape" fame), Newt Gingrich and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, according to Politico."*
Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

Two weeks later they got a request from Bachmann to "send more batteries"
There also referred to as "back massagers".
I can't think of anything to insert here......
Yep.
Has anyone seen Michelle Bachman’s O-face on Instagram after she received that gift? She looked so surprised.
I don't think so. She's probably still trying to guess where it could go.
Yeah. Keep telling yourself that.
who comes up with the video names... LMAO ... game of thorns XD
ha. you are now the official winner of this thread. well done.
I know what I am saying, I am saying that a persons belief is just as important as their actions when we judge a persons moral character, ie how moral they are. because a person can do bad things because of good intentions. a person can do good things because of bad intentions. why a person does something is just as vital in determining whether or not they are a moral person. their beliefs, the things which inform their actions are just as important as their actions.
Cenk: It's great to see you talking a break from fanning the racial flames over this Trayvon thing, and returning to the more hard hitting and informative videos. Thanks so much.
According to the news, she never received it because he send a staffer before she got it
Brookstone sells vibrators??
Man that state farm ad is getting super annoying!
She did. It melted.
So why?
RIGHT HERE, ON THE SMOLDERING LINE....
I think it would be a 3D printer that makes shoes.....
as was Marcus
When crazy meets crazt, crazy happens.
They sell vibrators at Brookstone? That doesn't sound right.
You mean two days?
Working an appropriate usage of creed into your argument is an automatic win in my book XD favourite word since the games
the only time i have convos with people who are really religious, that im not related to, are the times i want to tell them how wrong i am.
I appear to be the only person who doesn't watch game of throwns references. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything though.
What probably happened was that they made him feel like a christian that was below them when he may believe to think that he's the best christian and how dare they try to have an intervene on me! Which upset him and then he went on to fire them.
"Sunday Night Massacre" = epic night to get fired
I guess you could say this story caused a buzz.
you cannot accurately judge the phycology of human based on their actions either. so that makes your point mute as well, but we're not talking about a persons phycology, we are talking about whether they are a good person or not. we are talking about their morality. if you are not judging whether a person is good or bad by their beliefs you are going solely by actions, which means that if a person made a bad mistake, then they are a bad person. belief and action are both important, not just one.
Oh shit. Please, somebody, make this into a film. Galifinakis or Oswalt could play this nut.
I can see why you might have an intervention for your boss I'm friends with everyone I work with and if something was wrong with any of my co workers I'd want them to get help
You'd need to get two, just to be sure you get the right one.
So his strategy was basically.... less Easter Bunny, more Rampant Rabbit?
I dunno... I think it could catch on.
their is no "/". a persons belief is their motivation. if they believe good things will happen if they do of x, then that belief is their motivation for doing x. a person can have good motives or bad motives, and a persons motives are a good way to judge their character. its bad to do things for selfish reasons, and a person who does things for selfish reasons is a selfish person. ergo we can judge a person selfish because of their selfish belief, their selfish belief is their motivation. get it
I what two terms are you talking about? criminal and poor character are two completely different things, I just said that in my last post. yes I know what a motivation, and finding out what their motivation is does speak for their character, people can have a selfish motivation or a selfless one, people can be motivated by morally good desires or morally bad ones. their motivation says a lot about who they are as a person and we can judge people on having bad motivations, bad beliefs.
Of course truth is independent of the integrity of the person it relates to, but as theists continually impose their will upon society, whether they are hypocrites or not is vitally important.
your first paragraph doesn't even make sense, i never said that special pleading was the same as differentiating. I don't even know how you got that from what I said. and secondly i said a persons action and belief are both important in determining a persons character, not in determining if both are a criminal. when it comes to criminality all that matters is a persons actions, when it comes to moral character both are important.
0:42 did Cenk call it a Bibrator?
Its not shallow when what I am determining is whether they are a racist or not. and the whole 'it applies to racist beliefs but not religious' thats called special pleading. when you say you can't judge a person by their beliefs it either applies to every belief or no beliefs.
and if a person believed that for every good deed he did he gets to do a bad deed after he dies, a persons motivation is just as important as their actions for when determining another persons character.
I worked for a "Christian based" local manufacturer. It was like working for a cult. None of what Cenk describes shocked me. At all.
7 "lambs" afraid of their boss, sounds about right.
Perfect thumbnail
I was gonna make a Marcus Bachmann joke, but apparently I was too late...
Why is everyone in the comments assuming that Michelle is the one using this vibrator?
The vibrator was for Marcus.
Your mom was looking for you. She looked angry and said something about "straight to bed, no supper."
Stop arguing about religion in the comments and learn to live together.
Hmmmm, this must be the 'magic wand' she was talking about.
I love how every TYT now features an explicit explanation of the joke written behind them.
That was an old Victorian way of Psychiatrist's putting woman in their place for sexual frustration. Marcus would likely agree he uses out of date methods of treatment like Conversion Therapy from the 1950's.
'But that's not what this story is about'
Bit of a misleading title for the video then.
And she was so glad to get it!
True, very true; and sad.
i think he has. he might be agnostic though.
It's true that a staffer sent the vibrator out accidentally,but Mr Bachmann put it to good use.
What is so wrong sending a women a therapeutic back vibrator.
At least the Christians that tried to help him had a good sense of humour
A girl who had migraines once told me sex relaxed her and alleviated her migraines. True story.
On behalf of the non-Christian world, I accept your apology.
You win the Internet
Be suspicious of anyone who makes a living off other peoples suffering.
it was a vacuum!!
I don't think she has. All her kids are adopted, and the doesn't have the right equipment to interest her husband....
What's ironic is, the vibrator COULD help with her migraines.
Well I'm sure Mr. Bachman has tons of vibrators laying around and Michelle would probably have figured it was for him.
If something sounds too good to be true ... Here's something that sounds too good to be true. You can live forever and an invisible man who sees everything and is all powerful loves you so much that he let's people die at random. Imagine that there are people who are willing to exploit people who want to believe in this too good to be true story and get money out of it.
She probably needs new batteries right about now.
He should spit them out though.They can't be his.
no she's more religious than that.
She was married.
I have heard from reliable sources that Marcus took the vibrator from the bin after Michelle threw it away, and now uses it for his own rectal stimulation.
All they care about are the superficial surface values of power, money, and sex? Has religion ever been any different?
They're old school right? Probably thought she said so many crazy things because she was suffering from hysteria.
Game of fucking thorns! Game of fucking thorns!
Aw, man. I thought that this story was going to be about him sending her a vibrator because he thought that she was crazy and that it would cure her hysteria.
I would know they are racists, what else would I need to know about them? we judge people based on their beliefs and their actions. its the best way to judge people. if someone says they have a belief which is a racist belief we can judge them for being racist.
From Bachmann's husband.
I believe that would still help with migraines, anyhow!
Yeah, that guy doesn't sound like a Christian to me.
While I'm no fan of Strategy Group for Media, methinks someone set up the CEO, probably one of the "convey love" interventionists. If someone is savvy enough to know about "Game of Thrones," one probably also knows that a personal massager does not relieve migraines.
But it looks like a good product. Check out the Jezebel reviews--pricey, but you get a lot of bang for the buck :-)
So where's the atheist political consulting firm?
..Female Pleasure Machine:..An ATM?
Does anyone really believe that Bachmann knows what to do with one of those "Female Pleasure Machines?" I can't imagine this woman doing anything sexual.
Migraines ... I hear Backmann´s battlin h e m o r r h o i d s ?
You may be doing it wrong...
The red intervention
That guy has balls
Nah bro I've tried.
She's living with Marcus, what's a girl gonna do?
I think the plural is "dildi"
What are you talking about, "not Christian", Cenk? Kowtowing to corrupt authority is the CENTRAL Christian tenet!
The Holy Vibrator.
Actually makes sense, since fundies thought Bachmann was a patriot* with balls, so someone sent one more part she was still missing.
* - I don't know how they got that strange idea, IMO "traitor" and "anti-American insurgent" are more appropriate titles for people like her
of course you can, if someone has racist beliefs for example I can judge them for that. If they have sexist beliefs I can judge them for that.
Christian consulting firms? Wtf is that?
Colossians 3: 12 -
Put on, then, garments that suit God's chosen and beloved people: Compassion, Kindness, Humility, Gentleness, Patience. Be Tolerant of one another and forgiving ... as the Lord forgave you.
James 2 -
(14) What good is it, my friends, for someone to say he has faith when is actions do nothing to show it.
(20) Do you have to be told, you fool, that faith divorced from action is futile?
With her husband, I guess she needs it.
How many kids do they have again? And even one of them "one of their own" spawn?
uh Cenk ...in case you forgot.. Jesse and Al are Reverends...
i hope it was a big brown one that says 'Viva Mexico'.
If you don't think Julius Ceasar existed you need to retake history
