The disgusting and stupid comments of Minnesota Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has thankfully helped her opponent in the upcoming election. You may recall Bachmann is looking for the media to try and out people by trying to figure out what members Congress are “pro-America or anti-America.” Yes, this is 2008 and we are talking about this kind of ridiculous garbage. This is a Republican ploy designed to try and paint some people as not being “one of us.” It is an effort designed to target Sen. Barack Obama to make people think that he is a Muslim, he is an Arab, he is anti-American, etc. This has been an assist to her congressional foe, Democrat El Tinklenberg. Tinklenberg has been flooded with cash donations and support from all over Minnesota and from all over the country following the ridiculous and stunning interview Bachmann gave on MSNBC where she seemed to be calling for a modern political version of the Salem Witch Trials. “I can absolutely confirm that we have had in the last 24 hours donations from hundreds and hundreds of people from all over the country,” Tinklenberg campaign manager Anna Richey said. “It’s coming in so fast I can’t get a hold on it and can’t give a precise number. It’s still coming in.” The money is continuing to roll in and lets hope it continues. Bachmann must pay a heavy toll for her hateful words through the politics of fear and division.
