Rep. Michele Bachmann took to Fox this morning to promote her tea party rally this week, calling it the “Super Bowl of freedom.”

Bachmann has called for a rally Thursday at noon on the steps of the Capitol, starring such conservative luminaries as Jon Voight. She then wants tea partiers to stream into the halls of Congress to talk to their representatives directly.

“The only way they’re going to listen is if real freedom-loving Americans come here to Washington noon on Thursday, look at the whites of the eyes of their members of Congress and say, ‘Don’t you remember, I told you don’t take away my health care,'” she said.

Her plan for the rally, and the inside-the-Capitol tea party, has been endorsed by House Republican leadership.

She also repeated her new catch phrase, that “socialized medicine is the crown jewel of socialism. This will change our country forever.”
