Michelle Bachmann ~ toxic for Americans

Fear and division have dominated our nation's politics for far too long. It's time for us to deliver change – a change that moves beyond Democrat or Republican - by sending Congresswoman Bachmann home once and for all.

- At a debate with El Tinklenberg earlier this month, she claimed immigrants are "bringing in disease and violence and every sort of difficulty" to this country.

- In September 2008, Bachmann blamed the financial crisis on a federal program that awarded home mortgage loans "on the basis of race and often on little else."

- In February 2007, Bachmann told a newspaper that Iran had an agreement to take over half of Iraq, that a name had been chosen for that part of the region and that it would be used as a training ground for terrorists.

- In March 2004, Bachmann said on the radio that failure to pass her Defense of Marriage Amendment in the Minnesota Senate would cause the gay community to start "specifically targeting our children."

- In a March, 2008 meeting she said "The big thing we are working on now is the global warming hoax. It's all voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax,"

Rep. Bachmann breeding hate

Americans have had enough of the fear mongering hate propagated by members of the Conservative party. Comments such as Bachmann's, McCain's, and Palin's are threatening to unravel 40 years of civil rights movements and CAN NOT be tolerated. Michelle Bachmann spews the venom that divides our country. What happened to "give us your poor huddled masses" and the "melting pot" and "one nation under god...." It is vile hate filled trash and the most Un-American agenda and rhetoric I have ever heard.

Sign the petition to tell Congress Bachmann needs to be censured http://www.censurebachmann.com/
And support Bachmann's opponent - Bachmann needs out NOW http://www.actblue.com/page/nonewmccarthy

Also remember, Bachman blamed "Blacks and minorities for the financial crisis" during Congressional hearing in September. This McCarthyism hate breeding needs to stop.

Bachmann's comments spur opponent's fundraising spurt

A spokesman for DFLer Elwyn Tinklenberg's congressional campaign said a "fire" had been lit after his opponent criticized Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

John Wodele said Saturday night that 9,000 people nationwide have donated roughly $450,000 in the 24 hours since Rep. Michele Bachmann told Chris Matthews of MSNBC that Obama "may have anti-American views."

"Momentum has been going our way, but her appearance and what she said on "Hardball" just sort of accelerated this fire that has been lit under our campaign already," Wodele said.

The campaign had received 600 e-mails as of 3 p.m. Saturday after her appearance, he said.

The Republican's comments came in a 13-minute interview during which she asserted that Obama has a close connection to 1960s radical William Ayers, a theme of recent remarks by GOP presidential candidate John McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin.

Later, when asked by Matthews whether she believes that Obama may have anti-American views, Bachmann replied, "Absolutely. I'm very concerned that he may have anti-American views."

Tinklenberg, on the website "Daily Kos," said the past few hours have been "nothing short of astounding."

"Since Congresswoman Michele Bachmann appeared on MSNBC's "Hardball" earlier tonight, there's been a deluge of support unlike anything we have seen ... our phones haven't stopped ringing," he wrote.

And she is up for re-election this year

Go Tinklenberg!

Minn.'s Bachmann Says Obama 'May' Be Anti-American

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ―

Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann said in a TV interview Friday that she's concerned Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama "may have anti-American views."

In an interview on the MSNBC program "Hardball," host Chris Matthews asked Bachmann, currently running for reelection in Minnesota's 6th District, if she thinks Obama may have anti-American views. Her response: "Absolutely. I'm very concerned that he may have anti-American views."

Bachmann said she based her suspicions on Obama's past associations with his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and 1960's-era radical Bill Ayers. In so doing, she echoed similar criticisms by Republican presidential candidate John McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin -- although they have stopped short of outright suggesting that Obama is anti-American.

Palin told CBS News on Friday, "I know Obama loves America."

Nick Kimball, Minnesota spokesman for the Obama campaign, called Bachmann's criticisms "scare tactics and false attacks" and said Republicans are using them in order to distract voters from discussions of the economy.

During the TV interview, Bachmann also singled out a comment that Obama's wife, Michelle, made earlier in the year in which she remarked that "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country."

"And so these are very anti-American views," Bachmann said on the show.

Matthews also asked Bachmann, "How many people in Congress of the United States do you believe are anti-American?"

Bachmann replied, "I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America?"

Michelle Marston, spokeswoman for Bachmann's reelection campaign, said it's "perfectly legitimate for the American people to want to know how all this informs his policy positions and what direction an Obama Administration would want to lead the nation."

Minnesota Democratic Party Chairman Brian Melendez said Bachmann was playing with fire.

"The last politician who used that term that carelessly was Joe McCarthy, and Michele Bachmann seems anxious to step into his shoes," Melendez said.

A day earlier at a debate in St. Cloud with her Democratic opponent, Elwyn Tinklenberg, Bachmann spoke kindly of Obama.

"If the presidency would somehow go to Barack Obama, I would welcome him to the 6th District as well," Bachmann said after the debate. "As a matter of fact, I would put my hand on his shoulder and give him a kiss if he wanted to" -- a reference to when Bachmann gained notoriety for grabbing President Bush's shoulder after his 2007 State of the Union address and holding on until he kissed her.

McCain Campign flip-flopping again

After a week of relentless ads and accusations trying to turn Obama into something he is not, McCain was forced yesterday to try to stop this f'd up lynch-mob mentality his accusations have brought out McCain followers.






You reap what you sow, Senator McCain. A real leader would never had allowed this to get so far. You have successfully unraveled 40 years of equl rights that people have fought and died for. Really, is this how we want our country to act? It is deplorable behavior and an embarrassment. Governor Palin should also be ashamed of herself as for her part in creating this monster. I am ashamed and embarrassed that these are fellow Americans talking this way!
