I do NOT live in Bachmann’s district, but have just donated money to El Tinklenberg’s
campaign to defeat her ! My family did not survive the concentration camps to watch our lives destroyed by the politics of smear and fear practiced by the likes of Ms. Bachmann.
She is NOT the America I know and love ! Americans, stop giving in to the politics of the fear-mongers. PLEASE, everyone donate money to defeat this woman !

I live in California, but have just donated $ 50 to El Tinklenberg’s campaign as I CANNOT abide
by Bachmann’s brand of politics.
How in the world can you any thinking person stand for that woman ?
I strongly suggest everyone SPREAD THE WORD, email friends and family to help raise more money to oppose her re-election.
DEFEAT Michelle Bachmann NOW !

McCarthyism is a pleasant way to describe Ms. Bachmann.
I am a social progressive/fiscal conservative whose relatives survived the concentration camps. She is the closest thing to a Nazi that I have seen in recent years.
I do not live in her district, but am donating $$$ to her democratic opponent El Tinklenberg now !
I am so sick of the Republican smear and fear campaign tactics. Enough with the fear. We need leaders that can discuss issues and respect others, not hide behind campaigns of fear and war.
Please donate to stop this woman at: http://www.tinklenberg08.com
NO MORE !
STOP POLITICIANS LIKE THIS !

It is time to end, once and for all, the politics of division. I live in Houston and based on Michelle Bachman’s comments, I have just donated to El Tinklenberg’s campaign. This is the year we restore American values to our government!

I live in new Hampshire and had never heard of El Tinklenberg until i went on line to donate to his campaign after listening to Michelle Bachman’s hate-drenched crap on MSNBC. Unlike Joe-the-Plumber, i actually have a plumber’s license, pay my taxes, and have a business. I was a long time Republican but that has now changed for good. The politics of desperation, the lies, the hate mongering, and now, from all parts of the McCain-Palin campaign, the insinuations of Socialism and anti-Americanism (thanks as well to that bladder of ignorance, Rush Limbaugh) i have had enough… and i have happily sent money to Tinklenberg in hopes that the people of your great state will see this woman for what she is and send her home from Washington.

It’s too bad the big 3 MEDIA won’t cover this story.. I’m from Ca,donated to the Tinklenberg campaign.. I agree with Randy these people are dangerous,I hope Chris Matthew does a follow up on Monday,showing how many people from different states are donating to Tinklenberg after seeing crazy Michelle..she needs to lose her job,since she’s not willing to work for good of all Americans..

Buffalo here — My wife and I just donated $50 to Tinklenberg. I was not as flabbergasted by Bachmann’s comments as many of the rest of you, because I have become accustomed to similar insinuations by Republicans over the years. They aren’t as forward with their accusations as she was, but they say the same thing. Sarah Palin was just as bad the next day when she said that parts of America are anti-American. These people are dangerous!

The sad part out of all this is she spews all this venom and claims that she’s a Christian,just like her vicious twin Sarah Palin. Why is it that the people that act” Hollier Than Thou” are the meanest,most racist,hateful and dishonest people in this country?

I want to especially moderate Republicans who are against these kinds of McCarthy-like attacks. I have family members who are intelligent, well-educated, thoughtful Republicans (yes, they do exist!) and they are outraged at what people like McCain, Palin, and Bachmann are doing to their party. We must all work together – this is a serious time in our country – and we don’t need divisive people spewing hate and fear.
