Bachmann Says Obama Is Doing To 300,000,000 Americans What Lubitz Did To 150 Passengers

Two days ago, Michele Bachmann—once presidential candidate and elected official for eight years—posted this abominable status update on Facebook:

Luckily her commenters weren't having it. They took her to town. Here's a sampling of the response—taken from the top of the list down.

You just couldn't resist the comparison to capitalize on using those lost lives as a cheap shot at Obama could you....using the deceased of such an atrocity for such a totally inappropriate and cheap political snide is just totally disgraceful and disrespectful, too much so to endorse you as a political candidate

(BTW, that was the top comment and was liked over a thousand times.)

OMG, what a horrible thing to say! Have you lost your mind? You have totally lost your hold on reality!!!

What the heck is she talking about? She is a nut case not worth hearing what she has to say.

Honestly, MIchele, you don't have to continue proving you're an idiot. All of us who care already know.

Get a grip, Michele.

You should be ashamed of thinking up this analogy, and more ashamed for posting it. Get help. Please.

A bit heavy-handed for something that hasn't been completed yet? And to tie in the tragedy of the Germanwings flight to it? That's beneath even your low class sense of propriety and poor grasp of facts and the real world. You really consider yourself a Christian? Then you need to pray real hard for that rotten thing that is your soul, because no Christian would even think of such vile things much less air them in public. Shame on you.

Vile and low, even for you, Shell.

I'm worried. If any person is an expert on deranged it is Michele Bachmann

I have no words to describe your stupidity Ms. Bachmann. Please do the world a huge favor and just shut the hell up already!

How absolutely offensive. I wonder what kind of mind would come up with such a thought. The stupidity here is simply stunning.

And someone offered this gem of an image to comment as well:

That's just the tip of the iceberg. Read the whole post and comment thread here.
