Crimes & Misdemeanors: McCarthyism revisited in Michelle Bachmann.

I pulled this from YouTube. It is the interview Michelle Bachmann made on Chris Matthews’ Hardball show on MSNBC last Friday. I’ll let her words do the talking.

It is still shocking to me that no matter how much we seem to progress as a society and how distant we seem to get from those painful and embarrassing years in our nation’s history, we can still fall right back into the garbage disposal of accusations and shameful name baiting that epitomized the McCarthy era. If this woman were the only example of such despicable acts, I would just chalk her up to a lunatic who had escaped from the asylum. Unfortunately, Michelle Bachmann is only one of a great many conservative Republicans who collectively, it seems, have lost all moral bearings as they desperately try anything that will resonate with the electorate. Fortunately for the country, the vast majority of those “real” Americans that Bachmann keeps referring to have chosen to ignore her vicious attacks, along with the Bill Ayers and Acorn cheap shots.

As the nation continues to reel from a deepening recession and looks for answers from the candidates as to how they will pull us out of it, the McCain campaign talks about socialism, terrorists and Joe the Plumber. The number one topic of discussion on Fox News is “Voter Fraud and the Obama/Acorn Connection.” Predictable as dirt, you might say. Hopefully, this time it won’t work. Obama seems to be comfortably out in front; the country seems poised to make history. In the next twelve days we will have to endure assault after assault by the Right on our common sense. Good thing McCain brought that plumber guy with him on his campaign trail. We’re all going to need a few drain pipes cleared before this is all over!

P.S. I donated $25 to Michelle Bachmann's opponent. Just an FYI
