Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said on MSNBC's "Hardball" Friday that Barack Obama may have "anti-American views" and that the news media should conduct a "penetrating exposé" to determine whether members of Congress are "pro-America or anti-America."
Politico asked Bachmann what she meant.
"Despite the way the blogs and the Democratic Party are spinning it, I never called all liberals anti-American, I never questioned Barack Obama's patriotism, and I never asked for some House Un-American Activities Committee witch hunt into my colleagues in Congress."
When you say that the media should do an expose on who in congress is Pro-American and Patriotic you called us Anti Americans. For any that support those that in your morbid sense of self perfection that are anti American or Un Patriotic, would in fact be the same. What it all boils down to is you opened your mouth, stuck both feet in sideways, and now realize you have landed in the middle of a pile of crap up to your elbows. You cant unsay what you said, all you can really do is apologize and hope enough people understand and can move beyond your words.
I personally would like to hear your definition of Pro Patriot and Pro American, I have my doubt that you even understand the true meaning of either. If you live here, you pay taxes, you do your part the best way you can, you pay respect to your neighbors, you work hard, keep your mind open and accessable to all points of view even if you dont agree, and you are acceptable of all people to list only a few examples, you are more than Likely Pro American and believe in the general as well as specific principles of the US Constitution.
She is ranting and raving about nothing. She opened her mouth to give her point of view, she was called on it, now she is trying to figure out how to lie her way out of what she said. Sorta Palin like in her thought processes. She tried to tell lies, hoping it would stick, but the pie of lies came back to her face.
Anyone I've ever met from Minnesota - Democrat or Republican - have always seemed to be too intelligent to vote for someone like Bachman. Come on Minnesota, is this the person that you really want representing your state? With representatives like that, who needs enemies?
There seems to be two mindsets in politics these days, those that want to divide us, and those that want to unite us. She's definitely a divider, and not what we need at this point in time. Politics of division has helped us reach this low point, remember that when you vote.
Why was the 3rd word out your mouth "liberal"? That's an attack right there, because Republicans use the word Liberal like it's a bad word. I've never understood that psychology. They do the same thing with "socialist" and "communist". Socialism and communism actually work in some countries.
Because America is a capitalist country, we act like we are so much better. Guess what, those other countries are doing much better than us right now. We are borrowing money from China! Wake up to reality America!
Her whole reply is straight off the Republican talking points - utter nonsense. You want to find out about Barrack Obama and his plans, the information has been out there and has been discussed in detail since the days of the primary. Are you that ignorant that you continue to push "boogey-man" fear tactics and the multiple lies pushed daily but the McCain campaign instead of the facts and knowledge that is easy attainable?
And let's get into "associations", Ms. Bachmann. Let's ask WHY such associations as the criminal/domestic terrorist Gordan Liddy, the Keating 5 (and the continued partnership in properties), Alaskan Independence Party (secessionists), the history behind McCain's nickname "Songbird", and a host of other purely illegal, un-american, and/or sleazy associations are never covered?
You opened your mouth. You spewed your hate filled garbage. Face the music. Good luck in your new role when Fox will employ you as one of their multitude of pundits.
Let's face it, if we side with this nutcase, we will all soon be living in Palin-topia!
