No matter what state you live in, you can sign the petition urging Congress to censure Rep. Michele Bachmann for shooting her mouth off earlier in the month.
Rachel Maddow never misses a mark, and here we have a two-for-one bargain featuring both Bachmann and doomed iconoclast Sarah Palin:
Her campaign manager must own stock in Rolaids by now.
Please pardon my francais, but you scare the shit out of me.
Not one free thinking, intelligent person will ever completely approve of the actions, spending, military behavior and secrecy of the organization in control of their nation.
Having a severe opposition to government conduct and abuse somehow equates to hating one’s country, and as such you are therefore an “anti” nationalist, and having social views that qualify you as liberal (”radical-leftist”) puts one on the radar of the organization at the top.
“The newsmedia should do a penetrating expose and take a look … at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America?”
If being non-conservative makes one anti-American, and “anti-American” is something scary to be investigated, scrutinized and exposed, then what is next?
Indictment? Impeachment?
Quoting Palin, Obama is someone who “sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who’ve targeted their own country”.
Pal around? Peripheral relations with Ayers through an educational board could apparently qualify anyone as a co-conspirator. Should I, therefore, be looking over my shoulder for the fact that my mother was a rock-throwing war protestor in her hippie heyday? Probably.
Listening to you give a roll call of names of “people who hold anti-American views”, as you called them, and “people who don’t like America, who detest America”, is downright chilling.
I love this country. I love my neighborhood and every neighborhood I’ve ever lived in (even the shitty ones). I get along incredibly well with the cops who live here, their kids and their dogs. I have always gotten along better with my bosses and office managers than most of my peers. I liked most of my teachers in school and college.
My issue is not with authority. My issue is not with my national identity.
My issue, Mrs. Bachmann, is with the deliberate misuse of national funds, the manipulation of media, the misrepresentation of facts, the wire-tapping, the invasive legislation, the payroll theft, the chastity contests, the fear-mongering, the insider trading, the economic enslavement of developing countries, the wars in Saudi Arabia, the deregulation, the lobbying, the double-standard, THE DISMANTLING OF THE CONSTITUTION, the bankrupting of the lower class, etc …
Have I met enough of your criteria to earn myself the distinctive descriptor of anti-American radicalist yet?
Don’t let the door knob hit you in the colonial rift on the way out of office, darling.
Sincerely,
MX
PS: You may want to quiet down about Senator Obama’s freshman status. You are a first-term representative yourself, lest we forget.
By now you’ve heard about Michele Bachmann (R, MN) and the bombastic political stunt she pulled in an interview with Hardball’s Chris Matthews on Friday. (The fallout was even more impressive.)
Not to be outdone, radio conservative blowhard and former prescription narcotic addict Rush Limbaugh shot his venom at General Colin Powell today for announcing his endorsement of Barrack Obama, principally targeting him for his up-front declaration that his decision had nothing to do with race.
Powell’s severance of loyalty to the GOP couldn’t possibly have anything to do with their turncoat handling of his career at the UN, wherein they systematically destroyed him in full view of the world’s political fishbowl, and after which he gracefully resigned.
If straying from the herd and giving personal support to their nemesis is to be reduced to an issue of simple racial politics, then the party itself is out of touch with reality to a deeper degree than previously feared. This is the same party whose secret weapon for this election was a feisty pistol-whip from the hard north to rouse the religious base and swing the feminist vote.
Having failed that, we are now in the midst of a libelous media blitzkrieg to keep America in the mentality of white flight: If they can’t infiltrate our government, they can’t change our country.
History has already witnessed the character assassination of Paul Robeson. Having nervously observed the downscaling of Powell, this flagging of Obama is not unexpected and yet still unnerving in its implications.
If the tactics employed in 1950 were any indication of our nation’s willingness toward silent complicity, today’s culture of racial profiling and anti-homosexual hate crimes is indeed worrisome.
Following her incendiary diatribe on Hardball on Friday, the fallout against Rep. Michele Bachmann was swift and fierce.
Literally overnight, Bachmann’s opponent for her congressional district was able to raise over $100,000 toward his campaign to unseat her.
And because karma is a sport suitable for crowd participation, you can send Tinklenberg’s campaign some loose change too, if you’d like.
Mess with the bull, you’ll get the horns. Let’s nip this in the bud before it weeds the garden.
