McCain-Backing Congresswoman Suggests Obamas Have Anti-American Views

Michelle Bachman sounded foolish on Hardball yesterday. I support McCain, but that was a really poor performance by Bachman.

She also said that she wants a McCarthy-like investigation into all of our Congressmen to find out whether they are “Pro-America” or “Anti-America”
This woman needs to be kicked out of Congress NOW.

this lady,
does not speak the truth,
i watched it on hardball yesterday,
when cm started asking her those questions.
she didn’t know what hit her. she was all over the place, she did not give cool. well thought out answers, you could just see her, running through her memory bank for republican talking points.
all of these people who think like this, and mccain and his crowd who think it is still going to be a american superpower as they have known it, this group is getting smaller and smaller. because, after george bush, the rest of the world see we the american superpower people don’t know what we are doing and are becoming a danger to the rest of the world. and they will not stand by and let such narrow minded foolishness rule the world.
after 9/11 the world was at out beck and call, we will do anything you say you want done. and bush and co. said no thanks. well we will pay for that in the future.
the kind of thinking of this woman are on the way out.
and we may as well get use to this.

The Marxist Obama and he was called that on the Mclaughlin report, would not have the national Anthem played or the pledge of allegiance said during his rally in NH. this is another example of Obamas unpatrotic self.

Rep. Michelle Bachmann also said on FOX NEWS “that ACORN is made up of people that grew up in the 60′s who have the absured notion that every American has the right to vote..”

I live in Bachmann’s district and can tell you she is a true intellectual midget.
She is, frankly, another Sarah Palin. The worst our politics have to offer and a disgrace to decency.

You do a social injustice by not covering this story completely. Why not include her comments calling for the press to investigate all of Congress to see who is patriotic and who is not. Mathews allowed her free reign to make her thoughts very clear and very much her own, this was not a biased interview. Why not cover this story completely?!

John McCain is fond of using the line: “I never really loved America until I was deprived of its company”
Does that mean he hated America before? He must not have thought it could be interpreted that way, because he has used this exact line several times over the years.

imagine if this come from someone else other than Republicans…
We, the people, are powerless….ain’t we?
What I understand now is, to be Pro-American, the following are the criterias as per Republican
1. you need to be a Cold Liar
2. Should be able sell your souls
3. Do what ever it takes to win

I don’t say this lightly or casually. Michelle Bachmann needs serious psychiatric care.

These Republicans are Wackos.
What is the point Jake in giving thses folks voice?

Someone needs to file a lawsuite against her…

And there you have the basic republican motto, “If you don’t think like me, then your un-American”.
They just don’t “get” democracy.

Scootmandubious
Ms Bachmann is a congresswoman and an advocate of McCain/Palin ticket. Would you put Ms Van Heuvel in the same category being a journalist?

kellie
she is up for reelection and she can be taken out:
Thankfully, the citizens of MN-06 have a better choice: DCCC Red-to-Blue candidate El Tinklenberg. El is currently locked in a tight race and winnable race with Bachmann.
Let’s show our outrage in a way that really matters: by kicking Michelle Bachmann out of Congress and replacing her with a sane candidate like El Tinklenberg.
Act blue has a link to donate to him
Elwyn Tinklenberg
the huffington post says donations to him have spiked help take her out!
If you live in the state vote her out!

Obama is the most BS politician to have come into the American or UnAmerican scene, since man discovered the ability to speak.

maybe she should investigate the estimated 100,000 people at the Obama rally in St Louis today.

republicans are pond scum ..
she is a great example
their time is passed …
she is antiamerican …

Hmm…
If you’re going to talk about associates, especially anti-American ones, How about John Mccain and John Singlaub, or John McCain and G. Gordon Liddy, or John McCain and Charles Keating?
What a shame this congresswoman is.

michelle bachman is certainly a scaremonger, who is trying to create confusion in the minds of the voters. Let us all be guided by wisdom, as we make our selection for president, on november the 4th. Only one, out of touch, would suggest that Barack Obama is anti-american, and the wise can surely detect the underlying reason, for such thinking and saying. God Bless America.

I am thinking that Todd Palin’s longtime membership in the Alaskan Independence party (whose founder not only expressed extreme anti-American sentiment -BUT had his head blown off during an arms deal gone bad- a month after Waco)…coupled with his wife’s start in politics as mayor with the assistance of that parties’ chairman -(who says her door is still “always open to him)”…
That may qualify as “anti-American”…y’think?
Or does the witchhunt only apply to democrats?

The Denver Post, “which had backed George W. Bush in 2004 and is owned by Republican-leaning William Dean Singleton,” endorsed Barack Obama for president on Friday. “So did the Chicago Sun-Times, Kansas City Star. Southwest News-Herald (Ill.) and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. And to top it off: another Bush-backing in 2004, The Salt Lake Tribune.”

Michelle Bachman is an hungry wolf who touched on President Bush on camera and wouldn’t let go.
She is also a big LIER!
I live here in Minneapolis and most of the people that I heard hate her. Why?
Opportunity seeker!!! Even a photo with President Bush makes her head big and spinning!!!

Look, the talking points come from McCain’s campaign and approved by McCain.
What a pity! It is so sad to see McCain, once an honorable man, succumbed to his desire to be President and sold his soul in doing whatever it takes to win including the very things he once loathed. He has lost his way and all credibility.
He picked Palin, an unqualified candidate, to appease the Republican base as his running mate. He hired the Bush team to run his campaign and employed the same dirty tactics that were used against him in 2000. He is 2 faced in this campaign – a charming one in the public and a dark and dirty one in private. He says one thing in public comments like running a positive campaign, Barack Obama is a decent man, etc. and does the opposite using Robo calls and negative character attacks that are filled with lies and half truth. Now with this Wacko congresswoman going to extremes.
Where is McCain’s honor?
Just watch, his next tactic will focus on voter suppression in the swing states. McCain may think that he can return to his decent self in the future. The sad reality is once anyone goes over to the dark side, it is almost impossible to rid the control of the evil power except through divine intervention.
For those who vote for McCain, you may want to pray for his repentance and salvation before it is too late and prepare to accept defeat on Nov. 4…

Off Topic but just on MSNBC that spokeswoman Nancy Pfotenhauer just said that Northern Virginia was not the real Virginia!!!!!
And she said it mostly because there is a higher counteraction od Dems and it looks like Obama is winning there.
First we are Anti-American, now there is only one real Virginia????????????
Keep digging that hole Republicans.

Obama/Biden ’08

She said about global warming.. “it’s a voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax.”

IS THIS HOW IT IS GOING TO BE REPUBLICANS??
If we don’t agree with you RIGHT WING-NUTS, then we are all communists or Un-American?
This is how you want us to live in the 21st century?? You BIGOTS cannot take this country back into the 1950′s with your RACISIM and McCarthyism!!!
We won’t have it, WE ARE VOTING FOR POSITIVE CHANGE, WE ARE VOTING FOR BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shes absolutely correct in questioning his thoughts. nothing wrong with this at all.

b bear…
you have no concern with politicians associations?

To all you dolts using quotes from Buchanan and Bachmann, Buchanan is a known racist and a total neocon. Bachmann is just a nutjob, who like Ann Coulter believes Joe McCarty was a great man. Interesting eh? Buchanan’s wife tried to compare Wright to David Duke and was laughed off CNN yesterday. David Gergon said she wasn’t deserving a response, Gergon worked in two republican white houses!

TIM THE WOMANS A DISGRACE HER OTHER COMENTS ARE JUST AS BAD…
GOP REP BACHMANN: INVESTIGATE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS “TO FIND OUT IF THEY ARE PRO-AMERICA OR ANTI-AMERICA”

mike in nc…
i dint say anything about her. i just asked the question of, do you think a politicians associations are important?

There is no question that the Chicago political crowd are anti-American.
Cuba, 25 miles from Florida, is drilling for oil. Only the liberal left is against drilling.
Hey, we are in a mess, and the left’s response is that it is our fault. OK, if you believe that (unlike Ayers, I do not), but hey this is not 2004, we need to get to some solutions.

“You really think you McCain LOSERS can keep this Joe the FAKE UNLICENSED, TAX CRIMINAL Plumber going for the next two weeks until the election??”
It’s not about Joe the plumber, it’s about Obama’s Marxist response to him, comrade Davis.

Mack…look up G. Gordon Liddy and his friendship, and giving funds to McCain’s campaign.
He is unrepentant and still talks violence on his radio show.
McCain appeared on it November 2007 and congratulated him on his high values.
You can find it on the net.
You have heard nothing from Ayers who sits on an education board.
I too protested the VietNam war and was there at Kent State when those 4 students were killed ….am I connected to the weathermen as well???
Obama/Biden ’08

We love America with all our hearts, that’s why we’re going to vote McCain/Palin and all the BushGOPers out on their butts. It breaks our hearts to see what they’ve done to our country after these last 8 years of disastrous GOP rule!!

When this witch spewed this hate last nite it went viral on the internet. Her opponent has raised over $154,000 since last night. She will go down to defeat for questioning peoples patriotism if they disagree with her.

“Davis – you are saying because Joe the Plumber makes $42,000 a year he should sell out his principles to a pandering, tax fraud, swindle?”
The bots are just trying to take the spotlight off of Obama the Marxist, by attacking Joe.

Mike NC wrote “A GUY AT MY WORK ROBBED A BANK 16 YEARS AGO!”
Your caps lock key is on by the way.
If you regularly associate with your bank robber friend, that would be called associating with felons. Felons, because they crossed a line that society hold dear, are for ever kept from some rights as citizens. One of those rights that they lose in most states is the right to vote.
In Florida, through the work of ACORN and other lovely groups, there is a large number of felons (who are not allowed to vote in that state) registered to vote. I am sure as felons they will continue to respect the laws.

Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Unemployment Insurance …..what do you call these? Socialism is here and has been.

Mike NC
Of course they complained back then. They assured us that Clinton’s tax rates would “destroy” the economy. Then we had the highest job growth and stock market gains in our history, while balancing the budget at the same time.
Now that Obama is proposing to go back to those same tax rates, people are assuring us that it will “destroy” the economy and turn us into a socialist state.
And so it goes….

McCAIN AND HIS VOTES AGAINST REGULATION OF THE BANKS CAUSED THE ECONOMY TO COLLAPSE!!!
McCAIN AND HIS “BUDDY” PHIL GRAHAM AND THEIR DEREGULATION CAUSED THIS ECONOMIC MESS!!!
NOW McCAIN SAYS HE IS THE ONE TO FIX IT????
HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

linda n carolina
It’s called civilization. If we left everyone to fend for themselves, that would be called a pack of wolves.

The stunning bit about Obama on socialism is that he openly admits it. He is the one who said he was going to redistribute income. Most savy politicians will jump into “welfare of the nation speak”. Of course, this tax policies main problem is that it looks more like Herbert Hoover than FDR. FDR said no tax increases during a recession.

Michelle Bachman is a racist claiming that it was “the minorities” who caused the current financial crisis. She also stated that “Liberals” are anti-American including her peers in Congress. I am a hard working minority and pay my bills and taxes on time. Also, my family has a long history of military service including my father who fought in WWII. This woman has no business being in an elected office and MUST be voted out!

Saw the show. Bachmann is one Radical (on the right-wing side) woman. Basically her point of view is that if you don’t agree with her, you are anti-American. That way of thinking, whether it’s coming from the right or the left, is what causes fascism. We need to be really, really careful in this country of allowing all viewpoints to co-exist. If that right, which is the basis of what America supposedly stands for, is destroyed, we might as well live in Afghanistan under the Taliban ’cause it wouldn’t make any difference at that point whether we’re here or there.

Tim: well when you get old and can’t work lets see how fast you sign up for SS and Medicare. Cause on retirement you certainly won’t be able to buy it yourself!

linda…
lol ahhhh, im not sure if you know this or not, but SOCIAL SECURITY WONT BE THERE WHEN I RETIRE!!!! thats what im reffering to… wow, what dont you get?? im saying, because of government greed and corruption, all the programs you listed, are in the toilet. HUGE fianacial losers for the federal government. now, obviously you think barack obama can turn all of that around?

Mike (No Charge) – I agree Liddy is a bad guy and a felon. I would prefer that my politicians not associate with him. Do you think that Liddy, who did the Watergate break in to get his street cred, is at the same level as some one who blew up a police station and kill one of the officers on duty? How about a bunch of bomb throwing, rich, elitist brats? How about avowed racists, Rev. Wright and Farakhan who was endorsed by Wrights and Obamas church?

Tim: Social Security will never fail because the government won’t let it! Yes we need to raise the income caps and they will probably do it ….maybe even raise the retirement age.You save your money …thats a good thing…I just lost a bunch of money these last few weeks. How about you? My son swears he’ll never see SS either so your not alone. What do you do with the millions of people who work for low wages and have no pensions?

Plumbers
There has been no prof that the weather underground played any part in the death of Brian V. McDonnell.
An investigation was reopened in 1999,and a San Francisco grand jury looked into the incident, but no indictments followed.

I support Obama because I think it’s time for the government to look out for the working class in this country. The trickle down theory doesn’t work except for the very rich! Are you better off than you were 8 years ago? The bush policys allowed for the home market collapse with the sub-prime loans and it wasn’t Fannie and Freddie doing these loans…it was private co’s like CountryWide,Morgage Tree etc who made these loans and sold them to Wall Street.I simply can’t support McCain because he’s the same old Bush policy and he runs a dirty campaign.

I was glad to see that the politicians in Nebraska said that they would not associate with Ayers – by letting him speak at Lincoln without complaint from the community. Ayers is an unrepentant, rich, snot kid, from Chicago. Perfect for the politics there.

mike nc..
simple question for you: do you think under an obama presidency, that more of our everyday life will be socialized?

tim
NO

linda..
i dont like mccan either.. lol but with serious activism from “we the people” there is a glimmer of hope of survival. with obama, we are taking a huge turn. and in a direction none of us have ever known or wanted. hope to chat again soon… take care

I believe people will have more freedom under Obama then McCain!

Horseface Bachmann & Pitbull Palin – neither one of them will have a job when this is all over. I guess they like being used by their “handlers”.

plumbers, and ?

russell..
wow. ok, i see the point you are trying to make, and its one ive had with many of my frinds on many different occasions. yes, if you break it down, our current system is part socialistic, based on the fact we have alot of government funded social programs. and alot of them, at a very expensive cost. i am a compassionate person. i believe there is enough money generated in our country to help those who are in need. but where is the line to be drawn? when im referring to socialism, im referring to an INCREASE inwhat we already have. i ask you a simple question: what gives you the trust in government, to increase the level of entitlement programs? where have they proved that they are capable of handling these duties? or is it just your idealism that leads you t believe its possible? i would bet its the latter of the two.

Yeah, let’s just give Barack and Michelle a “free pass” … after all, he’s just a candidate for the highest office in the land – which of course is nothing really important like a 7-11 clerks job.
Heck, we should probably all personally know fine folks like these who once upon a time bombed public buildings and were leading members of a group which issued a “Declaration of a State of War” against the United States government and sit in a church for 20 yrs just like the one Rev Wright ran – GD America, hate, racism and all. Of course there are other associations like Tony Rezko and ACORN/affiliates – those are quality associations as well, that any true american president would be PROUD to be a part of …. right barack???
Please excuse my obvious sarcasm above, but I happen to think the qualifications for president of the United States should be just a little higher than they currently are for Barack and Michelle.
I think a reasonable amount of character, honesty, integrity, judgement etc should be expected for such a high office, but according to the many Obama supporters, that’s not the case.

Tim
My statement is in answer to your question:
that the government wont have more control and oversight on everyday issues?!

tim
Barack healthcare plan gives you the choice of keeping your existing plan or entering in to the same plan that john mccain and Barack Obama have!
if its good enough for them its good enough for me.. Why shouldnt i be alowed to by into the same plan as them ?

What is it about he conservative position that inherently creates the paradox that this congresswoman cannot wrap her head around? How can you be pro-american and then say things like my fellow americans are not to be trusted and neither is the government to be trusted to enact social programs? She sounds like Joe McCarthy and I don’t think the history books have exactly labeled him as a patriot.

Some people are felons and some not. We all have choices in life.

In the past 24 hours, her opponent has received over $435,000 in donations to his campaign. I think Americans have given their opinion on Ms. New McCarthyism Bachmann.

Like many others we watch the news coverage on
McCain’s negative campaigning on Obama’s
association with Acorn and Bill Ayers. This
abundance of coverage really doesn’t help Obama.
What I am really surprised about is there is NO
press coverage on McCain’s ties to Gordon Liddy,
Rev. Hagee and Rev. Parsley. David Letterman was
the first to bring it up in his interview with Sen
McCain the other night. Yet it deaded there. Liddy donated $5,000 to McCain’s campaign, held a fund raiser for him in his home and was described as an “old friend” by Liddy and praised Liddy’s “adhearence to the principals and philosophes that keep our nation great” and was “proud of” Liddy
There is not any news coverage any more of McCain’s ties to Keating.
I feel that the press even though pointing out McCain’s negative campaigning does not let the public know about McCain’s “domestic conections”
Now McCain is sending out thousands of Robo calls calling Obama a terrorists, yet the press doesn’t point out McCain’s quotes on Liddy and what he did. Sometimes just talking about Obama’s involvement with Ayers all the time but not mentioning he was on an education board and who was on that board as he did in the debate doesn’t give the public enough information to side for themselves.
I think Obama supporters would like to see some fair coverage any coverage on it.
See the following link.
The Press spends everyday speaking about Obama’s connection to Bill Ayers. Doesn’t the public have the right to know about the connection of McCain to Gordon Liddy (which has never been mentioned) and his connection to Keating receives no coverage anymore.
Congress held an investigation into Keating and McCain had a lot to do with it.
Obama only served on an board for education with Bill Ayers who now is a professor of education and on that board were also promenient heads of universities and news papers. Are they terrorists too?
Liddy served 4.5 years in prison for his conviction for the Watergate break-in
And the break-in of the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrists office.
Liddy acknowledged that he was prepared to kill someone during the Ellsburg break-in if necessary.
Lidding plotting to murder journalist Howard Hunt to stop him from cooperating with investigators.
Liddy plotting to fire bomb the Brookings Institute
Liddy plotting to kidnap anti-war protestors at the Republic National Convention in 1972
During the 90’s Liddy reportably instructed his radio audience on multiple occasions how to disarm and shoot a Bureau of ATF agent

Usually the republican nut-jobs save their crap for talk radio, blogs, robocalls,flyers, and Fox News. Whenever they come out in public you know that they are really crazy because they must believe that other people don’t think they’re crazy. I’m heading off now to send some bucks to her opponent — don’t know him, but anybody would be better than this woman.

Republicans are the ones being anti-American here. I don’t want these bozos representing me, here or abroad!

People wonder why McCain and the Republican party are trying to divide us. Because they are succesionists. They realize they won’t be able to RULE all of us so they’ll take some of us. And the dumber the better.

McCain/Palin also have questionable friends. The pot is calling the kettle black!!! McCain’s campaign has sunk to an all time low. They are a bunch of racist hatemongers.

Only problem is, ACORN registers democrats, republicans, independents, libertarians and green party. If a lazy clown decides to cheat their boss, and don’t really do their job, do we blame the boss? McCain gave the KEYNOTE address to ACORN in 06 and said, “keep up the great work.” Funny, every election year, the re-punks, find something wrong with voter registration, but never can find any clues about voter suppression. Hmmm!!

I’m glad the mainstream press is starting to pick this up, but you fail to mention the most disturbing statments she made – the call for investigations into congress members to find out who is anti-american. Please tell the whole story on your blog.

Only problem is, ACORN registers democrats, republicans, independents, libertarians and green party.
Yet endorses Democrats, and takes money from Democrat candidates, and is subsidized with all tax payer dollars. That’s unethical.

Ayers opposed the recreational
war in Vietnam.
Reverend Wright fulminated
against slavery and
discrimination practiced
against African Americans.
The Congresswoman has lost
her bearings. Her bizarre
views are not based on
ratiocination.

Remember, Bachman blamed Blacks and minorities for the financial crisis during Congressional hearing in September. That’s the same tactic used by hate groups who’ve been blaming Jewish people for the crisis. Why does she continue to be given a platform to spew this hate?

The three big stories with this:
1. She suggested the media investigate members of Congress to see whether or not they were either “pro-America” or “anti-America”;
2. This McCarthyist rant has brought half a million bucks to her opponent in the form of Internet donations;
3. A repub who ran against her in the primaries has thrown his hat in the ring as a write-in alternative. Translate: He was just as appalled.

After Dr. Johnson said patriotism was the last refuge of a scoundrel, the cynic Ambrose Bierce amended it with, “I beg to submit that it is the first.” Then H.L. Mencken jumped in: “But there is something even worse: it is the first, last and middle range of fools.”

I can’t wait for this election to be over. Then my brother and I can possibly start talking again, and he will quit sending me countless, hateful emails about Barack Obama. This congresswoman looks like a Stepford wife, and talks like a brown shirt fascist. Minnesota, surely you can do better than that, she is embarassing the whole country with her gibberish.

so what does mccain’s friend Phil Gramm, Gen. Punjab, charles keating.. what does that say about mccain?

We all have people in our past ,for goodness sake.I PREFER to know who Obama is palling around with now.He listed them at the last debate

Ayers is an education expert.
Reverend Wright’s church
does commendable work in
helping the needy.
Those are facets of the
two men that influenced BO.

I would rather Republicans backing McCain show how Mr. Obama’s proposed economic policies are anti-American and will only drive us into deeper recession (assuming he can even get Congress to get on board)
Maybe a big loss in November is what the GOP needs to get back to its roots.

Republican voodoo politics
and voodoo economics led
up to the recent financial
meltdown on Wall Street.

Is she the reincarnation of Sen. McCarthy? This woman is creating a potentially explosive atmosphere. She is promoting the fact that “Anti-American” is code for “Anti-Republican.” The would prefer an America of Archie Bunkers who would say “USA: Love it or Leave it.”
Why is it wrong to be progressive and critical? This is not for the purpose of bashing our nation – but to improve it. We have already fallen behind in the world because as a whole we believe we are still living in 1950′s America. We’re not any longer the best in education, healthcare, standards of living, etc.- but we could be IF we care enough about this country to strive for excellence. The Executive Branch should be filled with diversity of opinion and dissent that focuses on improvement – not just a cabinet full of yes-men.

One thing I love about Minnesota is the voters hold their representatives accountable. Voting for Michelle Bachmann is a vote for hatred, racism and ignorance. Do the right thing people, vote her and all of the rest like her out of office. We need to elect mature, serious leaders that will get down to business and get America back in business.
