This is after the repubs have been attacking her for going after Clinton's aide Huma Abedin!
---------
Shrugging off criticism from GOP leaders in Congress, Minnesota Republican Michele Bachmann broadened her allegations Thursday of Islamic infiltration in the U.S. government, accusing Democrat Keith Ellison of associations with the Muslim Brotherhood.
"He has a long record of being associated with [the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations] and with the Muslim Brotherhood," Bachmann told right-wing radio and TV show host Glenn Beck.
Ellison, whose Minnesota congressional district borders Bachmanns, told the Huffington Post that Bachmanns accusations are totally false. "I am not now, nor have I ever been, associated with the Muslim Brotherhood," he said, echoing the McCarthy-era government loyalty oath.
The exchange came a day after Bachmann was denounced on the Senate floor by Ariz. Sen. John McCain. Earlier Thursday, House Speaker John Boehner termed Bachmanns allegations dangerous.
Both Republican leaders were reacting to Bachmanns requests for investigations into Muslim Brotherhood influence operations in several federal agencies. She specifically named State Department official Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

(237 posts)I think if you're a "public figure" as Congresscritters etc are, people can slander you at will with no legal consequences. I may be wrong.
But Bachmann is really batshit crazy to borrow someone else's phrase. Most rightwingers are ignorant morons who swallow anything they hear on talk radio, but she's really mentally out to lunch.

These wack jobs want to force the Second Coming like Ahmadinejad and the Christofascists here with a global nuclear holocaust to cleanse the planet of unbelievers.
If not that because of Bachmann's Dominionist views, it is because Obama is hurting Romney with Bain. Why was Rush going nuts this week? Because of Bain.
Why are the rest of them inflaming the wingnuts? Because some of the wing nuts were realizing that Romney/Bain was screwing them.
Then we have an outbreak of killings at the same movie that Rush and the rest have been going after as attacking Romney and Bain? Is it all just a coincidence that O'Reilly is blaming the parents of the children killed for their deaths?
If this wasn't real life, you couldn't make up a more disgusting horror flick.

How she's managed to avoid saying something egregious about her own base is what blows my mind. For someone with absolutely no self-control, it's amazing that she hasn't jumped in it with both feet and alienated every fringe group that supports her crazy ass.
From HBO's "The Newsroom", Jane Fonda's character described Bachmann as "A Hairdoo".

(12,882 posts)Michele yearns to feel the warmth of the spotlight again. When you've got no natural attractiveness to beckon that beam's attentions, looniness will suffice. That is, as long as you hold public office - as opposed to sharing morning activities in a mental word.

(20,818 posts)clip; I never get tired of it. It shows what just one courageous person with balls, unafraid to finally stand up to what everyone else knows is ridiculous but is too afraid to say it, can really do. Had it not been for Welch, God alone knows how much more damage and ruining of lives McCarthy would have wrought. Funny thing is, Welch's action turned the tide, as it gave everyone else the courage to start saying the same things and finally McCarthy was stopped. Welch is a hero as far as I'm concerned, especially since he well knew that there was a very real possibility of serious repercussions for him.
I cannot believe that we are starting to see the same shit, sixty years later, in 2012, for God's sake. We need to stop this NOW before it gets any further and the witchhunt ball really gets rolling.

Hong Kong Cavalier
(4,572 posts)While St. Cloud in the northwest corner of the 6th is relatively moderate, the northern crybaby suburbs (apologies to those DUers who live there) of the Twin Cities are the base of Michelle's support. They complain about taxes, then complain that their emergency services aren't up to par, then complain about all the "undesirables" that are moving north (non-white people) and they sycophantically vote for whomever is in the (R) column on the ballot because the DFL (Democrat-Farmer-Labor party) is a bunch of communists.
No kidding. They actually believe this. This view is regularly enforced by Katherine Kersten, right-wing hack columnist for the Star Tribune.
That's Anoka. That's Stillwater. And that's why Bachmann wins elections. The people up there believe her, too. They'll eat this up.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,683 posts)is that it's a college town. You get outside St. Cloud, in rural Stearns County, and OMG, it looks like a scene from Deliverance. Michele's constituency - the God, Guns 'n Gays crowd plus the spoiled anti-tax suburbanites.
Hong Kong Cavalier
(4,572 posts)It's funny. Most of the people in St. Cloud that are not college age hate the college, but don't realize that yes, St. Cloud is a college town. Get rid of SCSU, and the town will collapse like a bad souffle.

Bachmann is in the center ring doing whatever she can to make people stop focusing on tax returns, a congress that is totally dysfunctional, and a world that has not uttered her name in the last thirty seconds. To give her voice more volume she brought in her mental minion, Beck. Now, we all know he can keep more balls in the air than anyone. Right. Mental illness is running rampant I tell ya!

While I don't like to see suppression of anybody's speech, the kind of crazy, libelous crap Bachmann spews on a daily basis doesn't deserve protection. If she can't be sued she needs to be kicked out of Congress.

That was and has been mainstream thinking in the Republican Party for at least the last 70 years. The father of the Southern Strategy was not Richard Nixon, but Barry Goldwater. He voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act and carried only Arizona and the old South in 1964. Before Goldwater we had Joseph McCarthy.
Oh, and where does Mitt Romney stand on all of the Muslim Brotherhood hate talk coming from Bachmann. His silence is deafening. Does that mean he agrees with her?
