It boggles the mind at the kind of people who make their way to Congress. Now, this bat****crazy woman calls for investigations of members of Congress for anti-American views. This video has excerpts from her 10 minute appearance with Chris Matthews; it's a little choppy, but the last 15 seconds is the important part.

Oy. Michelle Bachmann is a nutjob!
I sent money to her opponent earlier today.
Apparently, he has raised over $30,000 since her comments aired.
Her seat is in play, and it would be oh so satisfying to see her swept out of office.
She is CRAZY. I can't watch her and her crazy eyes.
But I did watch this and it was astonishing how deep she digs and spins.

I'm really bothered by this 'grab-and-snatch' editing that is being presented. Why anyone would base an opinion on that one piece of video is beyond me.
But what REALLY bothers me is this continuing 'pro-American/anti-American' viewpoint. Are we the ONLY people who don't see what's happening in the world at large?!? I KNOW we fall disgracefully low on ANY analysis of national awareness - but can we as a populace be THAT F*CKING OUT OF IT?!?
No wonder the rest of the world snickers and trembles at the same time.
It's a disgrace - and one that I'm afraid is about to bite us in the ass. I, for one, will be neither surprised nor disgusted with the denoument.
I will end up paying a heavy price, as will many, but it seems to me that it's about time the piper got paid.
If you're interested in signing an online petition encouraging Congress to censure Bachmann, please visit this site:

I saw the full interview last night. It left me speechless. She was nothing but an anti-Obama talking point spouting robot, smiling pleasantly the whole time. It's become increasingly clear to me that Republicans, in general, will say and do ANYTHING to win, despite the maliciousness and absurdity of the lies. And they do it with a straight face.
Excuse my language for a Saturday morning, but what a c*nty bitch. The more these dimwits say outrageous things, the deeper the hole they are digging for themselves. Desperate, desperate, desperate.

I actually watched this exchange on HARDBALL as it took place. I screamed repeatedly at my TV, for Matthews to bring up the Todd Palin affiliation with the anti-mainland org, but finally realized it was critical to let her ramble on in her McCarthyism Lite hatespeak. It took little goading for her to push beyond the usual bag of Republican tricks until the witch hunt agenda bubbled to the top of her cauldron.
The censure petition makes good sense. Someone at Huffpost quoted Sinclair Lewis "Fascism will come to America wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross."
Look no further than Ms. Michelle B.
She's always been a bizarre TV fixture -- sort of Ann Coulter on ludes (the Linda Blair eyes, the sneer disguised as a s--t eating Miss America grin). But she's seriously scary.
I just hate how she always has that smile plastered on her face. She's a Stepford Pundit!

No, she's just a fool for Christ!

And a two-faced liar. She defends herself against the same guilt-by-association claims she now throws at Obama. As usual, with Republicans, the truth of the day is whatever serves their current talking point.

I get a huge kick out of her exchanges with Debbie Wasserman Schulz...a politician I had been unaware of until a couple months ago. Schulz seems to have an affection for her even though she knows she's completely bonkers,

I saw the whole thing, and knowing that Bachmann is a raving lunatic, I was not shocked.
She may have just lost herself her seat.
Good riddance.
And Q, watching the whole exchange it was terrifying.

In the words of Edward R. Murrow (a great man against McCarthyism): "Good night and good luck" Bachmann!!
Salon.com is reporting that her opponent has raised well over $400k since her appearance.

Update on Bachmann: the GOP has pulled their money out of her campaign, and her opponent has received over $1 million since her appearance on Hardball.

She is the natural result of the intense "Us vs. Them" mentality of the Republican Party....the RNC can pull their money out of her campaign, but she's all theirs no matter how they try to distance themselves from her.

i was just going to mention that i heard her opponent has been getting lots of money since this...
Looks like Ann Coulter went brunette.
Sadly, she is in a conservative district, and this race is still considered a toss-up. You'd think comments like hers would sink a congressional candidate.
More video of Bachmann has surfaced. Here she is at a debate, giving an anti-diversity speech:

Thank God she finally showed the nation what a ****ing lunatic she is, now Tinklenberg actually has a chance in that race.
Okay...THAT was chilling!
