Michele Bachmann’s joke about the hurricane being a message from God to Washington D.C. loops her in with Glenn Beck, who is also under fire from the left for his comments.
“If you’ve waited, this hurricane is a blessing. It is a blessing. It is God reminding you — as was the earthquake last week — it’s God reminding you you’re not in control. Things can happen. Be prepared and be someone who can help others so when disaster strikes, God forbid, you’re not panicking.”
The difference is that Bachmann’s comments were a joke and Glenn Beck was serious. Either way, any attempt to attribute natural disasters to a higher power is guaranteed to whip the professional left into a frenzy.
