Great question. Reminds me of:

National Democrats are planning to spend $1 million trying to defeat Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann in Minnesota's 6th District after she questioned Barack Obama's patriotism.
A spokeswoman says the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will start airing TV ads on Tuesday.
Bachmann is running against Democrat Elwyn Tinklenberg, a former state transportation commissioner.
Tinkleberg's campaign said nearly 13,000 people from around the country donated $640,000 to his campaign after Bachmann said Friday on MSNBC's "Hardball" that Obama "may have anti-American views." She later said her statement about the Democratic presidential nominee was misread.
"We've gotten a lot of people who said, 'I voted Republican all of my life. I can't stand this. Here's my donation. Make sure you beat her'," Tinklenberg said.
Campaign finance filings show Tinklenberg averaged about $63,000 in weekly donations since Aug. 21.
Bachmann campaign spokeswoman Michelle Marston said Obama's relationships with people like Vietnam-era radical Bill Ayers do deserve scrutiny.
In a written statement, Martson told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that "Michele Bachmann never called all liberals anti-American. She simply wants to know what does Barack Obama mean when he talks about change? It's perfectly legitimate to ask questions about his relationships."

We cannot let the marxist scum intimidate such a classy and conservative warrior.
Geez! They’re a little touchy, aren’t they?
Truth hurts, Barry.
Every RAT is anti-American, just look at what they're trying to do with the Constitution.
Shame on them.
Listening to Hannity.
Interviewing a school girl who was attacked as racist because she wore a pink Sarah Palin t-shirt to school. Said they told her that not being for Obama for President and for a white man was racist.
Scary, scary, scary...
He’s a KENYAN!!
Great question. Reminds me of:
Yeah they’re a little touchy alright. Especially when we start telling the TRUTH about them.
Only 12 years old.
“Democrat Elwyn Tinklenberg...”
Sounds like one of the Keebler elves.
Why is the truth so offensive to Democrats?
Go Bachmann!!!
Probably the same people who call C-SPAN pretending to be Republicans.
Rare, medium-rare or well-done? Great episode. I love The Twilight Zone.
We’re all cooked if 0bama is elected.
As a matter of fact, yes.
Notice how comfortable the left has become in flaunting its socialist/facist views. And this is during the campaign. Imagine what it'll be like when every branch of the government beauocracy (as well as the IRS, FBI, Justice Dept...) is controlled by an unchecked socialist majority. We are in for some very dark days indeed.
First amendment rights are only for those who agree with “the 0ne”.
Just got off the phone with her Minn office and told them to contact me and we’ll have Michelle on FR for an interview and pep rally.
The old “I’m a lifelong Republican, but I’m going to vote for the Socialist” gag, again...
Let this be a warning to all: ANY DISSENT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AND WILL BE CRUSHED
Beware of the Obama brownshirts. They are coming for you!
