GOP rep on Obama's 'anti-American views’ (Michelle Bachmann)
Politico ^ | 10/17/08 | Barr

Posted on 10/17/2008 4:31:50 PM PDT by Wegotsarah.com

Republican Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (Minn.) accused Barack Obama Friday of holding “anti-American” sentiments.

“I'm very concerned that he may have anti-American views,” Bachmann said on MSNBC’s Hardball. “That's what the American people are concerned about. That’s why they want to know what his answers are.”

“In his book, Barack Obama had pointed to Jeremiah Wright as one of his mentors and also Father Pfleger as one of his mentors. Two of the three mentors are Father Pfleger and Jeremiah Wright. Now, these are very strange, anti-American mentors,” Bachmann continued.

“Barack Obama has been associating with anti-Americans, by and large -- the people who are radical leftists. That's the real question about Barack Obama.”

Bachmann said that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s assertion that Obama has been “palling around with terrorists” was a “fair comment.”

The Minnesota Republican also insisted that several members of Congress have an “anti-American nature” though declined to name any.

An Ohio Senator, now a Congresswoman. Looks Like Primetime Palin is finally getting the GOP to man up.

IS IT TIME FREEPERS? ACE OF SPADES THINKS IT IS!

Re: “Vetting” the Media
—Ace

A lot of people want to know why we shouldn’t begin “vetting” the media — and by “vetting,” I do in fact mean vetting. I mean starting a fund to put detectives on them and begin outing them, one by one:

In the closet.

Hits his wife.

Messing with her editor.

Stoned out of his mind on coke half the time.

Etc.

And to reduce costs, I’m sure some budding citizen journalists-detectives would be wiling to take a night a week following these bastards around, taking pictures.

The media’s position that Joe the Plumber who merely asked a question must be “vetted” out of existence certainly supports the full-blown “vetting” of them.

After all, far more turns on the questions they ask and... refuse to ask, more importantly.

Will we do this?

I’ve had angry phases where I was within inches of proposing just this. Even starting a corporation with limited liability protections to do so.

It may be time.

But not now. There are only two weeks left. The media isn’t changing. They are in the tank for Obama; this is the full-court press. If we “got” one or two of these bastards by election day, what effect? None.

However, I have been loathe to even post such a notion in the past. It’s too ugly, too vicious.

Not anymore.

It is their own “rule” — those who ask questions that harm one’s preferred candidate must be hounded and harassed and humiliated until they are silenced.

If this is the rule they impose on everyday citizens, it’s time for everyday citizens to impose it on them.

Yes, this is where we’re headed. And while I used to greet the prospect with disgust, now I’m comfortable with it.

It is their own “rule.”

They will have to live by it, same as all of us.

Joe the Plumber was the last straw.

He was the last “freebie.”

Hey, if the other side is fighting with gloves off...

How many of you have friends who are terrorists and live in the same neighborhood as Farrakhan?

It's time for the GOP to make the media an issue.

You might want to watch her first. Any one who can't get the best of Chrissy Matthews isn't much of a spokesperson. Link

Fine with me. Anyone with some time on their hands should start perusing the public records regarding Larry King, Anderson Cooper, Chrissy Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Barbara Walters, etc.

Worse. It looked like he out-thought her. Hard to believe, I know. But the clip is already on YouTube.

Well, I didn’t have a dad who was an African socialist or a mom who was a communist fellow traveler. I didn’t get my career start from people who were terrorists in the Weather Underground. I didn’t spend years in Jeremiah Wright’s church. What do I have to hide?

How respected is she on the Hill? Is she vulnerable or insulated?

Wish we had male Congress representatives with cajones.
