Wingnuts, Even Elected/Running For Office Ones, Ever Remain ... Wingnuts!
Bachmann Calls For McCarthyite Investigation Into Anti-American Activities Of LiberalsYes, we are talking about the same Michele Bachmann as this one.
(...) Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) attacked the patriotism of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), based on his alleged relationship to former Weather Underground member William Ayers and the values of Obama’s former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. “I’m very concerned that he may have anti-American views,” said Bachmann. “That’s what the American people are concerned about.”She then went further, suggesting that all liberal views — held by people such as Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, professors, and all Americans who identify themselves as “liberals” — are “anti-American.” When host Chris Matthews, stunned by her remarks, asked Bachmann how many people in Congress hold anti-American views, she responded, “You’ll have to ask them.”
Bachmann called on the media to conduct investigations into the anti-American activities of members of Congress, similar to Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s discredited House Un-American Activities Committee hearings in the 1950s. “I think people would love to see an exposé like that,” she claimed. Watch it:
Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) made similar comments at a fundraiser yesterday, saying that she loved to visit “pro-America” areas of the country — “small towns” where “hard working” people are “very patriotic.”
Update: The Nation’s Katrina Vanden Heuvel, responding to Bachmann’s attacks, said, “Chris, I fear for my country.” Watch it here.
And yes - we are talking about the same Sarah "Stillson" Palin as this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one aaaaaaannnnnd especially this one.
The sheer hypocritical, irresponsible, dangerous, criminal mendacity is mind-boggling.
Then again, what we are dealing with here are primitive minds.
It is what they do. It is all they do. It is all they can do.
Q.E.D. once again.
Any questions?
