Anti-Americans in Congress? Bachmann rep can’t name one

Here’s what I’ve been able to piece together from what Michele Bachmann and her spokespeople have been telling Print, Online, Television and Radio reporters:

Damage Control (aka Spin) has been to focus on the “Obama as un-American” statement and from there denying specifically saying so, but rather that his associations are what she meant should be put into question. This way she kind of falls in with the rest of the crowd of Republicans making those accusations. They turn any questioning of her into a McCain commercial, turning bad press into an opportunity to push that message.

They are completely sidestepping the McCarthy angle that is, from what I’ve seen, the true source of the anger and what makes her stand out as particularly offensive.

I’m presuming the McCain campaign contacted her and her staff to provide this angle. Those guys are pros, after all.

as for Tinklenberg:

Extrapolating from the announcement yesterday that showed about $1.50 via his website for every $1 on actblue, he’s likely at $700,000 since the Bachmann Hardball appearance.

Bachmann is an embarrassment to this country and the U.S. Congress. Her opinions on Hardball exposed her for what she is — not too bright and rather creepy. She makes the jackass Senator on the Manchurian Candidate look judicial and eloquent.

Her comments were judged correctly.
The only anti-American here is Bachmann. The only thing she left out were
her JACKBOOTS. She appears to be ignorant of the history of our Great
country and the era of Joseph McCarthy. She would have you believe that
liberals are anti-American and unpatriotic. This is blatant stupidity. In
reality it is her views that smack of Fascism. She even suspects that many
members of congress are unAmerican and should be given patriotism tests
by the media. Perhaps Fox news would help her out. What a laugh that would be.
We’ve not seen the likes of these New Republicans since the 50’s, like the discredited
Republican Joseph McCarthy. If ever a miscreant needed to be kicked out of
congress it’s this woman and those like her that would divide the country
and create internal dangers to our liberties. I find that with extremist views such
as these that it would be very uncertain as to whether she could operate with the
best interests of the country in mind.

The people of Minnesota should demand this woman’s resignation from Congress. That a states person would speak this type of filth, at all, but in the American free media, without regard to our national security and during this national economic crisis, exposes us all to external terriorists and unbalanced extremists. Any Republican running for office, even that of dog catcher, should demand that she is stripped of both her government salary, retirement plan, healthcare and censored from all public offices.

I know the good people of Minnesota will throw water on this witch.

Even Rush Limbaugh called Michelle Bachman a loony wacko, before he knew there was an “R” after her name.

This woman needs to be voted out now.
