Congress' Next McCarthy...America needs to know who loves her best...

REP. BACHMANN: What I would say -- 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, are they pro-America or anti-America? I think people would love to see an expose like that.

***

I can't believe that this isn't getting more attention. But this Congresswoman basically wants an inquisition into who in congress is "pro-America" and who is not. Ick!

She stated this on Friday's Hardball. Here is the transcript cite:

Re: Congress' Next McCarthy...America needs to know who loves her best...

  • I was just listening to it as you posted.  What an idiot.  She wants an expose but refused to answer who else besides Obama she thinks is anti-American?

    left+liberal = anti-american  riiiight

    I'm not a Mathews fan, but, damn, was he great.  She sounded like a real moran.  Complete with deer in headlights looks whenever he asked her to explain herself.  She just went back to her unsubstantiated fear mongering talking points.

  • You can watch her video here...

    Among other things...she thinks Obama has anti-American views...people on college campuses hate America...Nancy Pelosi may hate America...we need to figure it out...all Liberals are like Wright/Ayers.... the people who associate with BO are anti American.

    Honestly, you have to watch the whole video to believe it. Shocking. 

    And apparently her opponent has now made oodles of money since this interview dropped. Lol.

    It was infuriating, but I agree Mathews did a good job trying to get her to clarify. Actually I have seen this woman around the punditry circle and she pretty much always looks like a deer caught in headlights every time she is challenged. 

  • That piece infuriated me.

    I really like Chris Matthews.  I became a Hardball addict during my unemployment, and I think he is underappreciated. 

  • www.tinklenberg08.com to donate to her opponent. Do we really want to go back to the days of having to prove that you're really American? The stuff that Bachmann is spewing is disgusting and dangerous. I hope we can break out the unity horse on this one.

    Well, duh... obviously Jesus didn't tell her what to say then.

  • I am disgusted with some of the politicians who claim to be great leaders of this country.  I cannot believe this is happening in this day and age.  Seriously people, wtf?
  • She also said something about how criticizing america means you hate america.  I criticize america all the time, but I have patriot brand cheese whiz, american flavor.  Can she say the same?  Obviously that makes me more patriotic.
