GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann just had a total meltdown on Hardball, saying she was "absolutely" concerned that Barack Obama "may have anti-American views" and calling for an inquiry into whether there are "anti-American" members of Congress. Among Bachmann's gems:
On whether there are anti-American members of Congress:
"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 are they are pro-America or anti-America."
On Obama's advisers:
"I think the people that Barack Obama has been associating with are anti-American, by and large."
On whether Barack Obama himself is anti-American:
"Absolutely, I'm very concerned that he may have anti-American views."
It'll be interesting -- and somewhat ironic -- if John McCain condemns Bachmann's remarks. After all, her comments are pretty much the same as his campaign talking points.
Here's a video highlighting Bachmann's most unhinged moments:
There is a discussion of Bachmann's comments going on in diaries by Stiffa and thereisnospoon.
Bachmann's general election opponent is El Tinklenberg.
