HO!!!!! SIT DOWN!!!!

She should take the flying leap. How stupid is this woman? And who votes for her? Bachmann from ding-bat land. Her party made the banks socialized or maybe, just maybe she (shhhhhh) doesn't know the meaning of socialism. Is Ms. B. a product of home schooling?


In an interview with conservative host Bill Bennett Thursday, nutty Minnesota Republican Rep. Michelle Bachmann warned that President Obama is taking the country down a dark path -- but there's still time to save ourselves.

"If you look at FDR, LBJ, and Barack Obama, this is really the final leap to socialism," she said. "But we all know that we could turn this around and we can turn this around fairly quickly. We're still a free country."

"And as the Democrats are about to institutionalize cartels -- that's what they're very good at -- they're trying to consolidate power," she continued, "so we need to do everything we can to thwart them at every turn to make sure that they aren't able to, for all time, secure a power base that for all time can never be defeated."

Bachmann isn't the only GOP congressperson who thinks Obama is dragging the country into socialism (although she may be the only one to link the effort to an endless Democratic Party conspiracy). Of Obama's health care plan, Rep. Zach Wamp of Tennessee said Thursday on MSNBC: "It's probably the next major step towards socialism. I hate to sound so harsh, but.... this literally is a fast march towards socialism, where the government is bigger than the private sector in our country and health care's the next major step, so we oughta all be worried about it."

LOOK AT THE RACIST PEOPLE WE HAVE IN OFFICE!! THESE FOOLS NEED TO BE VOTED OUT!!!!!

GOP Rep. Channels McCarthy: Obama "Very Anti-American," Congressional Witch Hunt Needed. And Pat Buchanan is one racist MF!!



n an television appearance that outraged Democrats are already describing as Joseph McCarthy politics, Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann claimed on Friday that Barack Obama and his wife Michelle held anti-American views and couldn't be trusted in the White House. She even called for the major newspapers of the country to investigate other members of Congress to "find out if they are pro-America or anti-America."

Appearing on MSNBC's Hardball, Bachmann went well off the reservation when it comes to leveling political charges against the Democratic nominee.

"If we look at the collection of friends that Barack Obama has had in his life," she said, "it calls into question what Barack Obama's true beliefs and values and thoughts are. His attitudes, values, and beliefs with Jeremiah Wright on his view of the United States...is negative; Bill Ayers, his negative view of the United States. We have seen one friend after another call into question his judgment -- but also, what it is that Barack Obama really believes?"

Goaded by a Chris Matthews to explain exactly what she was talking about (at one point Bachmann seemed to imply that liberalism was anti-Americanism), the congresswoman waded deeper into the mud.

"Remember it was Michele Obama who said she is only recently proud of her country and so these are very anti-American views," she said. "That's not the way that most Americans feel about our country. Most Americans are wild about America and they are very concerned to have a president who doesn't share those values."


Matthews later pressed her to name a single member of Congress other than Obama who she thought was anti-American. Bachmann, who initially wouldn't budge, called for a major "expose" into the matter.

"What I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would. I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out if they are pro-America or anti-America," she said.

There were additional nuggets here and there. But the whole episode was a sight to behold. It is hard to imagine how this type of message actually helps the McCain campaign. For starters, there has been a relatively respected rule to leave candidate's wives out of campaign attacks. Moreover, there is already a deep resentment towards the severity of the political attacks McCain and his surrogates have launched against Barack Obama. Having a like-minded member of Congress essentially call for a witch hunt within Congress isn't the practical-minded message that the Arizona Republican wants out there.

What makes the incident even more bizarre is that Bachmann is in a close congressional race and just this past week offered warm words to the Illinois Democrat. "If the presidency would somehow go to Barack Obama, I would welcome him to the 6th District as well," she said after a debate. "As a matter of fact, I would put my hand on his shoulder and give him a kiss if he wanted to."

After Bachmann's appearance, Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel labeled the comments McCarthyist:
