AM.MN: Don’t be anti ‘non-pro-freedom’!

U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann doesn’t say President Obama is “anti-American” anymore. Rather, he’s “non-pro-freedom,” she informed a national radio audience Wednesday. If that sounds goofy to the untrained ear, remember that Bachmann’s background is in law, where they bat around phrases like “non pro tunc” (or is that nunc pro tunc?) all the time.
