Bachmann Stands By Widely Condemned Islamophobic Attack, Finds Ally In Glenn Beck

By Igor Volsky

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is doubling down on her Islamaphobic attacks against a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, even as a growing number of Republicans are repudiating Bachmann’s charges as “nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable citizen.”

During an appearance on Glenn Beck’s radio show on Thursday, Bachmann reiterated her suspicions that Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin, has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, noting, “her late father who’s now deceased was a part of the Muslim Brotherhood. Her brother was a part of the Muslim Brotherhood, and her mother was a part of what’s called the Muslim Sisterhood.” Earlier this week, Bachmann accused Abedin of working on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood in a letter with four colleagues to the State Department’s Inspector General demanding an investigation.

Sens. John McCain (R-AZ), Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Scott Brown (R-MA) have all condemned Bachmann’s charges, which some have suspected are being used for fundraising purposes.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) also condemned Bachmann’s remarks on Thursday, noting, “I don’t know Huma, but from everything I do know of her, she has a sterling character. And I think accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous.”

5. She needs to be censured by the House.

The only way to begin to stop these people from continuing with this nonsense - like what it took to draw the line and punish Joe Wilson for improper conduct - is some sort of formal sanction.

6. Michelle Bakkkman(R).

Clearly, Ms. Bakkkman has serious bias's against racial and religious minorities.

7. Let's hope her constituents figure it out, too.

They're the ones who will determine whether or not she is worthy to represent them in Congress after this bullshit. Ditto for the other four assholes who signed onto it.

8. They elected her because she is crazy.

9. Yeah, she's

chair of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_Caucus#Members.2C_112th_Congress), which includes Louie Gohmert: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002980942

Let's see how Republicans respond to that lunatic.
