New McCarthyism: Bachmann calls for investigation of ‘anti-American’ Congress members

That was one of the scariest things I have ever seen. My heart was racing watching this crazy woman on Hardball today! She seems even more radical and extreme than Palin! God help us all from this very scary over the edge Michelle Bachman!

Hi from California! Bachman on Hardball creeped me out. I just sent $25 to kick her butt.

Literally, the most frightening thing I’ve EVER seen on TV in my entire lifetime! Are we witnessing a new era of McCarthyism? She actually referred to liberals as “anti-American” and called for an investigation of Congress to search for and root out anti-American elected officials.

Add this to Sarah Palin’s incendiary comments that Obama “pals around with terrorists” and the McCain Campaign’s new robo calls claiming that Obama “worked closely” with a terrorist whose radical group “killed Americans” and you have a recipe for the next great American witch hunt and a call to violence against Obama and other “leftist” (anti-American) leaders.

This is very dangerous rhetoric coming out of the Republican Party!!! Every American should study McCarthyism, read the Crucible, and send $$$$$$ to Bachman’s opponent (Tinklenberg) as soon as possible.

Seriously, do it now! I just sent $10. Anyone can afford 5 or 10 bucks!!!

Bachmann needs to be voted out. She’s a complete moron lead around by the conservative media. She blamed this financial crisis on blacks and other minorities trying to be middle class. Something she picked out of right-wing “Investor’s Business Daily”.

Too bad Chris Matthews didn’t call her out on her suspected racism. And too bad Chris Matthews didn’t ask Bachmann how she would characterize Sarah Palin when her husband was a registered member, as recent as 2002, with the Alaska Independence Party, a radical group that advocates for Alaskan secession from the United States.

Hey there, Hope you folks in Minnessota can kick this nut job out. America needs to send a loud and strong message to this type of politics. This nation is heading for difficult times. The last thing we need is nut jobs trying to divide us more. Truly, in the context of a potential great depression this is the kind of talk that gave rise to the NAZI’s.

I was embarrassed for Minnesota. She’s a scary nut and very anti-american.

I just sent a candidate I’ve never heard of $25.00. As long as he is not pro-inquisition like his opponent, Bachman, he’s got my support. . .

I have no idea how she got elected too office in the first place. All I can hope is that the people of her district will not vote for her this year.

She’s always walking around the more serious questions, going after whoever she disagrees with.

I’m from CA too and sent $25 to Tinklenberg this afternoon after watching Hardball in disgust.

I hope Minnesotans repudiate this hateful speech and send her back to whichever rock she emerged from under. In fact, every American should reject Bachmann’s stupid, stupid, stupid comments.

I’m in Tennessee, and even here in a southern red state, I’ve never heard any politician sound that scary. Does Ms. Bachman understand that her distinguished colleagues were elected by the voters of this free country, and we all think of election day as sacred? Is Ms. Bachman insinuating that anyone who votes as a Democrat is un-American? Please do us all a favor, Minnesota, and vote her out of office!

Time to start cleaning out your desk drawer.

Get on board the Kick Bachmann to the Curb Express.

Over 50K raised in the past 6 hours for her opponent. Show Michele how much you love this country by donating to her opponent. Every little bit helps.

To you national readers, she’s been entertaining us ever since she was caught hiding behind the hedges during a GLBT rally at the state capital a few years ago. She’s Minnesota’s own Kathleen Harris.

It seems her opponent may be racking up more then 100,000 dollars tonight from that comment ! That is the big story, not her comments ! e-Democracy in action !

Join the fun and donate to her opponent , here is the link :

http://www.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/18660

I’m afraid that I’d never heard of El Tinklenberg until this evening. But after seeing this raven haired Ann Coulter clone spew her hate filled luncay, I dragged out my debit card and made a donation to El’s campaign. Glad to read that the DCCC is pumping some funds into his campaign, too.

One thing she needs right away is a history book, or a video of the McCarthy hearings. In this country, we are allowed to think differently from our neighbors without being investigated. Once she loses this election, I hope she spends more time in the library. Good luck to her opponent, and I hope he spends his new-found election money well!

I thought I was losing my mind! I’m glad that I wasn’t alone WOW who is this lady nut?

If my American friends ever wondered why that European patronizing smile too often turns to a sneer, Ms. Bachmann provides the answer.She represents everything “American Exceptionalism” has come to mean beyond your borders. Sadly, her remarks will spread like a virus. The majority view, represented by the comments below, will never be heard.

I just donated $100 to get this dumb whore defeated. It will be a sad day for America, if this bitch is allowed back into Congress.

I’m from Virginia. How do you elect someone who is so close to McCarthy to Congress? I don’t donate to political parties, but she made me donate to her opponent. Her district needs to do the right thing and kick her out of Congress and send a message to others.

Have you no sense of decency Rep. Bachmann, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

She is an absolute nutcase! OMG! Wake up District 6 and get her out of there!

i’m in texas, just donated to her opponent. this lady is a wacko. my jaw dropped listening to her mccarthy impersonation!

That is really messed up….what a total loon! And an embarassment for our state. I can say that, as a proud resident of Minnesota, that Bachman does not represent Minnesota. The media should investigate whether or not members of congress are mentally fit to hold that position.

That is totally unbelieveable!!!

I can not believe this woman is in our Congress. I pray she will loose her job over this. I live in Indiana and i was shocked to hear her crazy remarks. With all that is going on in this country the republicans should stop these smear remarks and try to show a little honor for once. Obama and Biden could give them lessons. I am so proud im a Democrate.

Please vote against these types of attacks no matter which side of the aisle they come from. This country has many serious issues to discuss over the next few years (national security, health care, social security) and it can’t be done with people who only appeal to fear and anger.

I just sent an email to Michele Bachmann’s office letting her know how plastic and anti-American she seems to be. This woman needs to be shot, perhaps with one of Sarah Palin’s moose hunting guns. I am from Virginia but I am begging all Minnesota voters to vote this bitch out of office, please!

Maybe she should be arrested for inciting violence? I mean, really, how many lunatics were watching her rant on in this way and didn’t say to themselves that they want to start gunning down liberals at their church? Spit.

Shoutout from Maine! Bachman on Hardball creeped me out as well. I also sent $25 to kick her butt.

I feel sorry for my neighbors in the great state of Minnesota to have a moron like that represent your state. I feel your pain having had the goofball Tommy Thompson as our governor in the past. We were especially proud of him when he failed to have enough flu shots on hand for our country as Health & Human Services Secretary for Bushie a few years ago. I hope my donation from Green Bay helps to run that lunatic Bachman out of office in a landslide! Good luck.

The life of Michelle Bachmann is the best argument for legalized abortion.

I’m from New Jersey. I just sent $ 25 to El Tinklenberg. http://www.actblue.com reports over $104,000 has been raised for Mr. Tinklenberg as of 10am Saturday.

Rep. Bachmann has raised the ire of real Americans from sea to shining sea.

Smooth move Michelle.

Unreal!
$25 from New York City to Mr. Tinklenberg.
Here is his website http://www.tinklenberg08.com/home.html
Support him. Oust her.

I’m excited for the coming day in the post-neocon era when lunatics like Bachmann are exposed and shamed to the degree they deserve. As much as I love my state, I’m almost ashamed to be from a place that would elect this woman to public office.

And to Brian…at least you can claim the best Senator in the nation in Russ Feingold.

Unlike McCain/Palin, who whip their supporters into a frenzy with their constant hate speech and then pretend they can’t understand why their crowds yell “Terrorist” and “Kill Him”, Obama always says, “Don’t boo, just vote.”

Or, in this case, if you can’t vote, then donate money. I live in Florida, and I’ve sent Bachmann’s opponent $10. Everyone can afford $5 or $10 bucks.

Watching Bachman’s surreal rant last night on Hardball was literally the most frightening thing I’ve EVER seen on TV in my entire lifetime! Are we witnessing a new era of McCarthyism? She actually referred to liberals as “anti-American” and called for an investigation of Congress to search for and root out anti-American elected officials.

Add this to Sarah Palin’s incendiary comments that Obama “pals around with terrorists” and the McCain Campaign’s new robo calls claiming that Obama “worked closely” with a terrorist whose radical group “killed Americans” and you have a recipe for the next great American witch hunt and a call to violence against Obama and other “leftist” (anti-American) leaders.

This is very dangerous rhetoric!!! Every American should study McCarthyism, read the Crucible, and send $$$$$$ to Bachman’s opponent (Tinklenberg) as soon as possible.

Seriously, do it now! And, while you’re at it, send as much $$$$$$$$$ as you can to Obama to help him fight the smears. I just sent $50

I have been waiting for this shoe to drop. It proves my firm conviction that the Republicans would go to any length not to lose this election. Even so far as to distract voters with a modern-day MacCarthy Inquisition. I, for one, am very tired of it! Hopefully, November 4th will give them all some time to think and re-design their programs.

I live in Texas and I am a registered Ind. I watched the interview on Hardball and was appalled. I immediately went to her opponents website and donated $25. We do not need people like this representing our country!

She is an embarrassment to our great state. I donated last night, and am glad to see the outpouring of support from all over the country. I am an active DFL member in a highly republican area of the state, so I know the uphill battle it is to get our message across. Please if you are in her district, get out and help campaign against her. We need all the support we can get in some areas of our state.

Sign the petition to censure Michele Bachmann.

http://www.censurebachmann.com/

I want to thank everyone out there giving support to El’s campaign. This woman is a wacko and has been since day one. Working together we can get her racist, homophobic, crazy ass kicked out of congress.

The fact is that this wing of the Republican party has no respect whatsoever for the law or the will of the people and yes they spend their time talking this seriously among themselves…. it is so un-American of them to totally disrespect and reject any bipartisanship…. essentially they feel they alone should govern and screw the rest of us. To that end they will engage in whatever vote hijacking they think is necessary because they don’t think anyone outside of their mindset should be allowed to vote anyway! In the face of this anti-americanism we need to keep ourselves aware:

I hope that you good folks will vote this woman out. As for me I was so disgusted by her comments I have gone to this web site:
http://www.actblue.com/page/nonewmccarthy
and donated $100.00 to Tinklinburg’s campaign. I hope we are past the days of the HUAC Joe McCarthy.

Despite being a political junkie, this is my very first blog post ever. I’d rather listen to what people have to say than force an opinion on them. So, when I heard Matthews introduce a representative from Minnesota, I decided to listen. I have two kids at Carleton and over the years have developed a deep sense of respect for all Minnesotans. During my visits, I have found people there to be honest, kind, industrious, ethical, accepting of differences and most of all ethical. For me MN is not an “outpost” it is a place where people are sophisticated and fair-minded and don’t deserve to be represented to the rest of the country by someone like Bachman, whose comments will (I think) be remembered for a long time by many people across the country for being so disrespectul to all citizens of this country–republican, democratic or independent. I’m honestly so sorry this happened to all Minnesotans. Not a single person in your state deserves to be tarnished by association, even the small slice that may agree with her views.

$50 to Tinklenberg. Someone should send Karl Bremer a care package, too!!! He’s been documenting her crazy for the last couple years. My favorite Bachmann moment is the picture of her crouching in the bushes, spying on the gay rights rally….

I found the picture:
http://www.eleventh-avenue-south.com/archives/000491.html

I was aghast when I heard this woman’s terrible comments on Hardball. I scribbled her name on a scrap of paper and planned to research the nutcase to email her today. It was amazing to find so many other good “pro-American” citizens who were as outraged as myself. I too dropped a money bomb on Tinklenberg–though I have honestly never heard of this candidate before today. In America, the best way to express your dissent is to vote and to donate–do both!!!

In a time of great crisis when we need bring this country together and work together to your hate-monger up there in Minnesota is working to divide this country like some tool of the Taliban. I immediately donated to her opponent Elwyn Tinklenberg but I’m still outraged so I’m going back to donate to other Minnesota Democratic candidates as your state clearly needs significant amount of counter balances to this hateful person.

WOW! We have been trying to get the local media to print Bachmann’s distorted, frightening views for YEARS! It finally took the NATIOnal media to do it! I live in her District and couldn’t believe each time she got elected (locally and then to National politics!)

Ummm, while she’s not delivering the best argument, this lady is accurate in her assertions. I’d support an investigation of Congress and the Executive Branch on unamerican affairs. Research Norman Dodd who participated in the Carroll Reece Special Committee on Tax Exempt Organization, this will give you some insight into the unamerican activities being promulgated in this country. Start with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUYCBfmIcHM

Holy. Crap.

What a breath of fresh air all you posters are!! Although not in her District, I’m a Minnesotan who has been mortified by Michele Bachmann since she first burst onto the scene. I’ve donated to Tinklenberg’s campaign and we Minnesotans can’t thank all of you who have done the same enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I think she has finally (finally!) sunk her own ship.

I distinctly remember seeing a video of George Bush moving through the crowd after a State of the Union address the year she was elected, and she leaning over to lay a hand on his shoulder, and would not let go, very demanding and brazen, just as she said a day or so ago that she would do if Sen Obama came to her district. ugh.

I am amazed that so many people are outraged by what she said. That’s the scary thing for me. Everyone here is quick to call her stupid, racist, dumb, wish she was dead, etc, but it sounds to me that you didn’t even hear what she said.

She never said liberals were anti-american for one, the host even asked her directly. She said William Ayers and his ilk were (Ayers is a self admitting domestic terrorist btw) She then stated that perhaps Obama has anti-american views as well since he hangs around with people like that. Its actually not a huge leap of logic to conclude that.

To those that think she was being a McCarthyist when she said that we should investigate the views points of other elected officials: This is not McCarthyism, you have no idea what McCarthyism is. Discovering an elected official’s viewpoint is called the vetting process and it is what we do when we elect people. It is what was done to sarah palin and I’m sure none of you have an issue with that.

If you think its wrong to investigate a politician to find out their viewpoints, then you should have the guts to say that Palin’s investigation was wrong.

NOT “GOD BLESS” AMERICA… GOD DAMN AMERICA! GOD DAMN AMERICA!!!

That was one of the most frightening interviews I’ve ever heard out of any politician in my life. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing or hearing; my son even called me from college with ” Mom, did you see that crazy bitch on ‘Hardball’?” Joe McCarthy is alive and living in a dress in Minnesota: she needs to be voted out of office.

Hopefully, she’ll reread her Constitution and discover that if anyone is anti-American: SHE IS.

$10 of my money just went to Bachmann’s opponent. And I’ve got a bunch of liberal friends in MN who will be happy to match my donation – I’m emailing them tonight.

If money is the means for kicking some of this jackbooted, jingoist insanity out of Washington… then my wallet is open.

I was disappointed that interviewer Chris Matthews failed to ask the question of Bachmann, “please define anti-american”? Then he would have been in a better position to take her to task over her views. Of course we all understand that what Bachmann means by anti-american is anti-status quo, anti-corporate greed, anti-elitism and anti-gross inequality. Matthews lack of penetrative questioning meant we didn’t get the opportunity to explore the substance of her argument and in many ways left Bachmann holding the patriotic high ground.

A reference in another column points out that she bears a striking resemblence to actress Karen Black at the end of the 70’s film Triogy of Terror. I’d say she is a dead ringer… http://www.filmfodder.com/movies/critical_eye/matheson/images/trilogy_of_terror.jpg

“”I was disappointed that interviewer Chris Matthews failed to ask the question of Bachmann, “please define anti-american”? Then he would have been in a better position to take her to task over her views.”"

Listen to the interview again. She specifically states that people like Ayers and Resco are anti-american. (Bombing the pentagon, police stations, attempting to kill innocent people, etc) I find it disturbing that the people here would condemn Bachmann for condemning anti-americanism of that sort.

As a former long time resident of Minnesota (1956 – 1972), and a 1972 graduate of the University of Minnesota, with family that still lives there, I strongly urge you to do all you can to get rid of Michele “Josephine McCarthy” Bachmann.

I saw her Friday, October 17, 2008, interview on Hardball on MSNBC. The woman is an odious and disgusting individual who should not be allowed anywhere near the U.S. Congress.

As a result, I contributed $50 to Mr. Tinklenberg. Please do the same.

Please make me proud to be a Minnesotan.

Even Colin Powell commented on the rhetoric of a Congresswoman who questioned the Anti-Americanism of those who supported Obama. Arthur Miller died a few years ago. He must be gyrating in his grave knowing that that the witch trials of 400 years ago are still alive and well in the 21st century.

Okay Yorge, so you are saying that it is wrong to call a man who bombed the pentagon, wishes he could have done more, and took a photograph while tramping on the american flag, anti-american?

El Tinklenberg you got $50 from me. Show Ms. McCarthy that Americans rather like liberty.

I just donated $200 to her opponent. I get the feeling she is going to cost me a whole lot more money in the days to come.

Her comments on investigating members of Congress for anti-American views sent shivers down my spine. If she is re-elected, American really has learned nothing from the McCarthy era and nothing in the last eight years.

“In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;

And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;

And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;

And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up.” Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

loki7329,

Your quote isn’t a very good analogy. We are talking about the PRESS! not the state or SS soldiers. No one is calling for treason charges! What Bachmann is calling for is that the press inform the people on the viewpoints of elected officials. This is actually NECESSARY for representative democracy to work.

What is wrong with you people???? GET A CLUE!!!

As the great Monty Python would say:
“Noone expects the Spanish Inquisition”

She even bans disney movie aladdin – Yeah,I guess they look Anti-America too!
Tell me she is not crazy!

What an embarrassment to America. Does this Senator Bachmann woman really exist? Who in heaven’s name voted to put her in the U.S. Senate? No wonder we’re in serious trouble. We’ve outgrown McCarthyism and frankly, I don’t see the American public putting up with this. Let’s not elect anymore of these divisive nuts that just want power and more power.

Ultraprops, Nate:

Civil disobedience Is an American trait, not anti-American….

I’m sending her opponent $200 as much for your comments as hers…

Anti-Americans in Congress? Put Michele Bachmann’s name at the top of the list.

“Ultraprops, Nate:

Civil disobedience Is an American trait, not anti-American….”

To you I am sure there is nothing that is anti-american. I bet the 9/11 terrorists were also pro-american to you.

Are you basically trying to say that the Weather Underground was a just and pro-american institution. How can you be pro-american and declare war on the US? How is bombing police stations and the pentagon pro-american?

Vote the fanatical, race baiting “bitch” out of offfice. She is not only an embarrassment to the fine people of Minnesota but the entire country. Has the Republican Party sank so low they endorse a lunatic like this to walk the halls of Congress. One hell of a lot more dangerous than the “washed up” terrorist Bill Ayers. Strange the McCain campaign has not disavowed or condemned her statements. Or is it?

Well I for one AGREE with Bachmann. Let’s start by investigating all those who voted for the Terrorist bill that allows the President to imprison anyone as a terrorist without trial or charges, and without means to defend against them. That certainly is anti-American, and anti-constitutional. Let’s investigate those who favor wiretaps with out warrants, or even hard evidence. They too are anit-American and anti-constitutional. Let’s investigate those wh have been members of parties seeking to overthrow the American government-like trying to have Alaska secede form the union. We fought a civil war against that, and certainly that is an established position of overthrowing the government. Let’s investigate those who want to fly the Confederate flag atop our nation’s state capitols-like John McCain-here’s a specific case of allowing the symbols of over throwing American government–which many died to prevent. Let’s investigate those justices who imprison teenagers for eating a cheeseburger in a public place-that certainly impedes on American Freedoms.
Bring it on Ms Bachmann! There’s lots of work to be done.
See your party in jail soon!

ultraplops:

You stupid fool, 9/11 was an Inside Job. The terrorists were Dick Cheney and crew.

They murdered 3000 of us to start their wars for oil and to turn the US in the police state we are witnessing by the comments of these neo-fascist bimbo Bachmann.

Even your meathead ex-Governor Jesse Ventura can figure this out. Pull your head out of your a$$ before it too late.

I didn’t find anything wrong with what she said at all. What the majority of you should be creeped out by is the fact that she may be right. America is free to many things, but also to the infiltration of ideas that are prone to destroy democracy. When our nation varied from the gold standard monetary system, it wasn’t for the betterment of this once great land, it was to fill the pockets of a few. Likewise, communism is infiltrating our public offices and Obama is soon to be most powerful proponent of a socialist America. All for what… free health care? give me a break. It is unamerican to sell out our freedoms like that be it to republicans that “scare” with islamic boogey men or democrats that lure us with free stuff.

I say to hell with it! vote independent.

[...] as a solid favorite to retain her House seat in the Sixth Congressional District. But the controversy engulfing her campaign following Friday’s appearance on “Hardball” — during which she called for an investigation [...]

yes! investigate communists. why not?

Jeff Said: “yes! investigate communists”

Hey! I thought she was calling for investigations to root out terrorists! Are terrorists now communists too?

Boy, I guess when you use words like “anti-American” it gets a little confusing. Maybe she should have said what she meant…”investigate people who don’t share my views!”

“”ultraplops:

You stupid fool, 9/11 was an Inside Job. The terrorists were Dick Cheney and crew.”"

LOL okay, but were the 9/11 attacks anti-american?

What a deal! Another backed into a corner DUMB ASS NEO-CON FAR RIGHT-WINGED IDIOT! Stand by Minnesota and watch her go down like a led zepplin! This backwards knot head has no idea of what it is to be American or what government, or the constitution means to this Democratic Republic called the the United States of America! The founding fathers of this nation would probably SLAP HELL from the heads of Michelle Bachmann and anyone else associated with this kind of bumbling stupidity! May her opponent have a landslide victory.

PLEASE EVERYONE:
Tell all your friends to help us here in the 6th District by going to the website http://www.censurebachmann.com and vote for a censure. We have a great candidate opposing her and he MUST win. This could surely help us.
Thank You from all of us in the 6th District and especially those that are working to defeat her.

Don’t you beleive in the first amendment and the freedom of speech? Don’t you beleive in representative democracy?

Why can’t politicians speak their mind, if people don’t like what they say, they don’t vote for them. Thats what freedom and democracy is all about. And you have the incredulence to call for censure?? I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and you are probably just misguided, but you are making yourself out to be a Fascist. Going against the freedom of speech, now that is the essence of anti-americanism.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences of what was said.

Ummm… Censureing is not censoring, nit. It is an act of condemnation, not a revokation of free speech.
When an ELECTED official says such outlandish things that invoke the dark days of 1950’s McCarthyism, it transcends party lines. Your opionion is as good as anyone elses, as misguided and moronic as it is…

Come on:

The destitute and starving democrats and dependents that live under the bridge have collected 1.3 million dollars for Representative bachmanns no name opponent.

After all of these homeless victims of conservative stinginess collect all the popcans in 90210 I sure hope the demoncrats remember the starving dependents when the legislature gets back in session od all the destutution money collected gets used to feed the starving next winter instead of raising taxes 6.5 billion again.

Jesus st jesus:

In case you were not un revised American histor did you know that Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin is the most prophetic citizen of the 20th century warning of creeping marxism , exactly as we see in the obamanation network.

Joe warned of N lenin that said “Give me a generation of your youth and I will give you a socialist society” It took a little more then three decades but by the posts here attacking a representative for asking questions about a marxist mesiah it looks like there is a huge collection of “conditioned graduates” shame on you for attempting to censor a duly elected representative for asking exactly who is your mesiah?

Everyone,

Let’s try to stay focused and remember that soon the federal govermant in alliance with state and local goverments may very well crush everyones ability to sya what they believe (Fairness Doctrine Bill). Michelle Bachman has every right to feel as though there are anti-American representatives in our legislature. It is the definition of anti-American that matters. Many would subscribe to the idea that if you are anti-constitutional, then by default you are anti-American. That said, all of the posts here are legitimate and I say run her out of office if you can, but there are reasons that America has arrived at this point in time, with a new left agenda ready to take hold. If you cannot see that for what it is, apply some critical thought to the proposition that this country is going to follow in the footsteps of our European neighbors, then you simply are not being intellectuallly honest. Many of you may like the idea of becoming France, Germany, or Switzerland. I can only hope that there is some thread of America left after November 4th when the social democratic party acheives a super-majority and crushes the American dream of self-reliance, rugged individualism, and steals from us the individual freedoms guarnteed in the Bill of Rights.

“”
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences of what was said.
“”

I agree, but do not agree with official measures to prevent someone from speaking their mind, the consquence that is “just” is the one she has already taken, which is a massive influx of support and cash to her opponent and possible election loss. And yes Jesus St Jesus, I know what Censure means, and a censure in this context is a means to censor Bachmann, all she did was speak her mind. You have every right to disagree with her, but official reprimand is a violation of free speech.

Wow… caveman talk…. “McCarthy GOOD! He blacklist people who disagree with him. Take away right to work and free speech. Ugh!”. And the rhetoric about a “marxist messiah” made me laugh so hard that milk blew out my nose…. not at the remark, but at the fact there are people stupid enough to believe it.

Oh well…. 12 more days till a new day in America….

The good people of MN deserve so much better than Rep. Bachman. She is not much more than a pathetic metaphor for what has become of a party that has lost its collective soul. Like many others, I draw comfort from reading the words of AMERICANS – Republicans, Democrats, and Independents – roundly denouncing one (Bachman) who seeks to bring America back to the dark days of Joe McCarthy.

[...] hottest video at TheUptake right now (due to recent controversy on the Chris Matthews show), Michele Bachmann’s ”Not All Cultures Are Equal” [...]

I still can’t believe this woman made all those comments.
Two questions to update this:
–Why isn’t anybody asking McCain, before the election is up, why he was and continues to “pal around” with G. Gordon Liddy. He’s much worse a case than the tenuous ties of Obama to Bill Ayers.
–Why isn’t anybody asking more questions about the Associated Press story about Sarah Palin’s bid rigging with regard to the natural gas pipeline being built in Alasaka?
What’s going on? Michele Bachmann can drone on for minutes about this stuff but there are questions the McCain campaign needs to answer right NOW.
