Congresswoman Michele Bachmann Wants To Investigate Anti-Americanism
Bachmann (R-Patriotic) wants the media to shine a spotlight on who is and who isn’t a good American in Congress. About Obama she opined, “I’m very concerned that he may have anti-American views. That’s what the American people are concerned about.” Bachmann wants the media to investigate, declaring, ”…the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look…take a great look at the views of the people in Congress find out are they pro-America or anti-America. I think people would love to see an expose like that.”
Think Progress put this video together:
This is the same Michele Bachmann who said we don’t have to worry about global warming and saving the planet because Jesus already did that. And let’s not forget her pronouncement that the caribou would love the pipeline because of its warmth and that they’d gather around it for coffee klatches.
Why is it that those who talk so fast and loose about who is and who isn’t anti American seem to be the most anti American of all?

Agree with ya Lefty. It really sounds like she is nuts.

Yup, the greatest opponents to freedom in America are wrapped in the flag. How about the most Anti-American President we have ever had is still in office. And it has nothing to do with what party he is in.
I think Bachmann is just scared of having any form of government representation not Republican. Anyone who does a bit of research finds that divided govt is not a bad thing. We need to work together or this country is doomed.

Hey guys sign this petition to censure that idiot.

She’s up for reelection and it’s in a close race. Her Democratic rival has had an increase in donations since this happened too.
October 18th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
So Bachman is not only a McCarthyite, she’s a coward, because she doesn’t have the chops to do a “penetrating” investigation herself, and show what kind of a Nazi zealot she really is.
October 18th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Give her a Nobel Prize for BALLS !
She speaks her mind and gets stomped on by [the] press and [the] liberals ! PRICELESS !
ONLY IN AMERIKA !

And before you whine about copying, I think people should know that the other side thinks the SAME thing about you.
The insults just cancel each other out.

“Illegal immigrants fill the positions of employment that Americans refuse to fill.” This was a statement I heard recently on a business network. Who filled those positions before the illegal immigrants began arriving?
October 18th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Oldlefty,
The Twain quote describes you completely. You’re the loudest daily whiner on this blog. WHA WHA WHA.
October 18th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
I knew there was something wrong with that woman when I saw her constant pasted-on smile…particularly when Chris Matthews tried to get her to answer if she thought those who are liberal are anti-American.
She is a shallow, insipid tool of the far right…and truly a danger to us all.
Let’s hope people everywhere are not persuaded by her hate-mongering.
October 18th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
What a whackjob
October 18th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Eric, using facts and not feelings, explain why he’s anti-american.
Is it simply because you don’t agree with his policies? That would sure be pretty shallow of you wouldn’t it.
October 18th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Easy answer…
Liberals only talk the talk, they don’t really want to walk the walk. Look how many liberals threatened to leave the country if bush was elected than never did.
One example is gore not living the green lifestyle he demands others live.
Whoopi on “the view” backs obama and higher taxes. On one episode she complained about the taxes she has to pay under bush being so high and unfair. Strange she complained while supporting obama that is going to raise her taxes.
Most liberals live their lives in guilt. An actor goes from being a waiter to being wealthy overnight. Dallas Mavs owner mark cuban bought stocks for $.25 and sold them months later for $100, making him filthy rich overnight. These are just 2 examples, but they apply to most of the affluent outspoken liberals. Their wealth comes from “being in the right spot at the right time” and not a lifetime of hard work, good decisions and such. So in their views being rich is a matter of luck and wealth should be spread around. Well, not all wealth, just the wealth of the “other” (other being republicans that have spent their lifetime working) people.
October 18th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
I have a modest proposal:
Anyone identifying themselves as a progressive or liberal or democrat should be required to pay the maximum federal tax rate, so as to not appear hypocritical when they insist that others do the same.
October 18th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Here is another modest proposal:
Anyone who is involved in the media should be required to have a short bio that reveals their political affiliation. You know, like a “D” for Democrat or “R” for Republican.
I would also carry that requirement into academia, let’s identify the 88% of the people in the media who self-identified as “Liberal”.
October 18th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Keep going, Michelle!
Say some more really retarded things — please!
Your DFL opponent in Minnesota thanks you.
October 18th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Only problem with McCarthy was that he happened to be after real communist that were in our Gov’t, as spies!!!! Unfortunately for him, the left wing media crucified him, just like they will now do with Bachmann. I’m sorry, my constitution does not read the same as Das Kapital and the communist manifesto. I kind of like America and all that we stand for. I don’t see why I should want to emulate the Europeans in the socialist mess that they have on their hands. “When America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold”, I wonder why?????
October 18th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
Wow Derrick you are an @$$#@le!

You can actually watch her campaign fall apart from here.
LMFAO!!
October 18th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
“Only problem with McCarthy was that he happened to be after real communists…”
“I kind of like America…”
Maybe you think you do, but actually you don’t, because your kind of America has more to do with football teams and lynch mobs than the rule of law and the constitution.

Allan Im not from a prestigous background. I have based my life on trying to do the best for myself and my fellow man. This is despite any religous ties. I just wanted you to know,listining to your radio show inspires me. I here what my ears deem to be the truth. The truth comes from your mouth into my ears. Alot of your callers inspire me too. They inspaire me not to be so dumb. It is sad when people base their exsistance on a political party. No party should run your life. I think you love your party, but truth more. Thank You.Sorry for beig long winded.

AMERICANs BEWARE
EXPORTING American Farmers to Russia–
A real possibility:
PRAVDA reports this:
“America has a different problem. This is a problem of people, or rather of one cl@ss of people in particular. These are a new, unappreciated and unneeded people, as determined by American society.”
AND…the Russian solution:
“With well over 1.5 million members of the farming cl@ss, in America, facing or experiencing failure or at best, just barely hanging on, Russia can offer an outlet of abundant land for these m@sses.”
http://english.pravda.ru/world/americas/15-10-2008/106572-russia_us_farmer-0
Which would think, “That’s cool. Let’s do it?” McCain or Obama?
PS: Why do you have to have monitors on this site? The word cl@ss doesn’t come to mind.

DANGEROUS TIES WITH DANGEROUS GUYS
Alan,
Why does the left continue to ignore HARD FACTS? Your only defense for Obama’s questionable ties with anti-American figures is to point out (in some of your other posts) that McCain and some other Republicans have had undesirables tied to them in some casual way. But, that is no argument at all! One could probably find “ties” with undesirable figures even with the Pope! The problem I have with Obama is that he’s not just CASUALLY TIED to covert political figures (which would be the case with all of your examples, if indeed true), he has made it his life’s work to SEEK THEM OUT and work with them… live with them… eat with them… share their same ideologies. There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE in the two! I don’t think that any of the “ties” you’ve brought out that McCain and other politicians might have had would endanger our country’s welfare and destroy the American way of life should McCain win; however, the ties that Obama has absolutely WOULD. John McCain has displayed his allegiance to America by his service in the armed forces, even to the point of enduring torture. Obama has done NOTHING to show me he gives a rat’s ass about this country, except for what it can GIVE HIM!
And, your notion that somehow this animal Bill Ayers has entered the realm of “good citizen” after his treason of days agone is ludicrous! Ayers is an OPPORTUNIST and a USER, as is Obama. Ayers has learned how to milk the system and use the freedom America gives him (and the legal “loopholes” in the system) to not only evade prosecution for his heinous acts, buts to remain INSIDE THE SYSTEM he hates so he can destroy from within.
But, Ayers is not the ONLY undesirable character this charlatan has cavorted about with… how about the numerous OTHER clandestine figures that fly in the face of America, and would seek to destroy her? How about Rev. Wright and Louis Farrakhan? Just a quick tour through a Google search of either of these men will show you that these are EVIL SEDITIOUS MEN, who WANT AMERICA TO COME DOWN!!! Both Wright and Farrakhan are undisputably RACIST NUTCASES whose statements reflect a hatred of this country, hatred of the white man, and a mission to bring their agendas to fruition. Obama spent TWENTY YEARS under this seditious influence while he was an ACTIVE MEMBER of Wright’s church. THAT is more than a casual relationship that offers no threat to America should Obama win the White House. His tenure with Wright- and the inundation of “Black Liberation Theology” that Wright espouses – can only make you believe that Barak Obama is cut from the same fabric. Either that, or he is so stupid that he never realized what was going on for twenty years while Wright and his cronies trumpeted hate speech towards “white America”. And… if THAT is the case, do you want a dummy like that as the leader of our country?
“From the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam, God BLESS America, my home sweet home”!!!!!
Come on Alan… get real!

YOUR sons will HAVE to serve Russia’s Army!!! Americans will be EXPORTED into RUSSIA!!!
SPREADING THE WEALTH!
Read part of this article from PRAVDA:
The immigrants (Americans) will further guarantee that each of their sons, upon reaching the legal age, will serve out the minimal term of enlistment in the Russian armed forces. Furthermore, the immigrants will provide cl@sses weekly, to their adopted communities, on Western standards and science of agriculture. These will continue as long as there is a demand from the community.

What’s the big deal about this story?
How is it different than China inviting foreigner businesses in or American corporations bringing illegals in to work cheaply?
Perhaps if they made the offer lucrative, some of the illegals would resettle there.
It CERTAINLY has nothing to do with our two parties.
October 19th, 2008 at 9:16 am
If this chick serious? (And I say “chick” only bc the real adjective I would have used would be blocked.)
There is no Constitutional description of what is or isn’t American. And what the hell is HER definition of what is American?
THIS PISSES ME OFF
October 19th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
She doesn’t fit my definition of an American.
I WANT HER INVESTIGATED
October 19th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
I have asked this question on other posts (numerous times) and I never got a decent response, so I’m going to keep asking until I get a reasonable answer. Can some Republican out there please define what being a “conservative” means? I keep hearing Republican Politicians claiming there more “conservative” then the next guy. As far as I can see, it’s a Synonym for “racist”. It certainly does not have anything to do with “Fiscal Responsibility”, “Less Government Interference” or “Smaller Government”. If I am wrong, would somebody, anybody please correct me. And why is it that conservative folks have this need to label everybody, even themselves? I have figured out what conservative folks are calling white folks who happens to be Democrats, when they call them a “Liberal”.
