Latest Jackass In Congress
Saturday, October 18, 2008
While watching Hardball with Chris Matthews yesterday, I and many others were amazed at what we saw. Rep. Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota ranted for 7 minutes smearing and slandering Barack & Michelle Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and anyone for that matter who consider themselves liberal.
Rep. Bachmann basically said that if you are a liberal you are Anti-American which is a common gutter theme the GOP loves to push but not usually on national TV. Chris Matthews who usually dominates his segments picked up on her sentiments early on and with each question led the moronic representative into the black hole of McCarthyism. Its not like Matthews had to a lot of work here, Bachmann was well on her way and ignored the stop signs and showed her true colors. The good news is that she is an a close race and ActBlue stepped in to raise money for her opponent and at this time is close to $200,000. Lets hope her bigoted views are her downfall and this newly elected congresswoman is sent packing come Nov 4th.

Quotes from the show
Matthews later pressed her to name a single member of Congress other than Obama who she thought was anti-American. Bachmann, who initially wouldn't budge, called for a major "expose" into the matter.
"What I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would. I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out if they are pro-America or anti-America," she said.
