It seems that Rep. Backmann now "regrets" her statements made on Hardball. She indicates that she "walked into a trap" and had never seen Hardball before.
GIVE ME A BREAK!

From the article:
Bachmann told the St. Cloud Times on Tuesday that she "made a big mistake" by going on MSNBC's "Hardball," a show she said she'd never seen before her appearance last week. Her statement to host Chris Matthews that Obama "may have anti-American views" drew condemnation and helped her opponent, Democrat Elwyn Tinklenberg, raise more than $1 million in just a few days.
During an interview with the Times' editorial board, Bachmann said she walked into a trap and did not bring up the term "anti-American." Still, she said, "I should not have used that phrase."
Earlier in the day, Bachmann told St. Cloud Rotary Club members she would like to "take back" the statement.
"I did not say that Barack Obama was anti-American, nor do I believe Barack Obama is anti-American. He loves his country, just as everyone in this room does," she told the crowd. "Nor did I call for an investigation of members of Congress for their pro-American or anti-American views. That is not what I said."
NO? She didn't say it? Funny that it is all over the Internet, has been replayed over and over on various broadcasts....She now regrets her actions...
Funny isn't it?
UPDATE: Just a reminder that lies are not tolerated. She is regretting getting caught and I hope the article and the coverage of her backpeddling and lying will lead to
more contributions for Mr. Tinklenberg!
GO KOS COMMUNITY - rally for truth and no tolerance for saying one thing and then "regretting it" for the sake of the cameras and votes.
