Republicans Line Up to Rip Michelle Bachmann
Politico ^

Posted on 07/19/2012 11:04:12 PM PDT by Windy City Conservative

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said merely floating the idea that Huma Abedin — a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — has family ties to the radical Middle East group is “pretty dangerous.”

“I don’t know Huma, but from everything I do know of her, she has a sterling character,” Boehner told reporters Thursday. “And I think accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous.” Later on CNN, Boehner said he expects to speak to Bachmann soon.

Bachmann’s accusation came in a handful of letters to intelligence and national security agencies raising questions about the Muslim Brotherhood. The letters, also signed by four other Republicans, specifically mentioned Abedin, accusing her late father of having ties to the Brotherhood.

Boehner declined to entertain a reporter’s question about whether he would toss Bachmann off the Intelligence Committee, where she’s privy to highly classified information. Behind the scenes, leadership aides said they were shaken by the comments from someone as prominent as Bachmann.

My guess is that Michelle knows the truth in this matter.

Hey, Boehner, how about finding out everything you don't know about her before you speak or act?!

How stupid is this man?!

The likes of this is probably a main reason she and her family finalized the dual citizenship in (I think) Switzerland.

Someone in her position knows full well the U.S. is collapsing financially, economically, culturally, and politically, and the GOP bosses are seeing to it that there’s no resistance.

At least Michelle remains true to herself; true to her country.

These people expect our sons to enlist and risk their lives in combat, while our representatives endanger our sons' lives by practicing political correctness, just so they can feel comfortable at their Washington cocktail parties?

Led by the dishonorable McCain.

McCain is proof that Washington corrupts absolutely and turns even heroes into chickenshits.

Below is the letter that Bachmann and co. sent to the State Department. There is no mention of Huma in the letter. Where are getting all this?

There is no mention of Huma in the letter.
So ask yourself this...who first raised her name as having been mentioned?

No money prize, but you'll get a Kewpie doll.

The republican attackers either cannot read or just want to take advantage of this opportunity to damage another conservative.

Why is it that republicans are always ready to do the democrats dirty work for them?
