Bachmann dumps some tainted cash, vows to run bad ads to keep her seat

• Yuk! Is this the best that Minnesotans can do in picking their candidates. Regardless of party. I think she needs a medical exam to see if her brain is unbalanced. It's no wonder people get turned off by our political system. Very sorry.

• Watching Bachman's surreal rant tonight on Hardball was literally the most frightening thing I've EVER seen on TV in my entire lifetime! Are we witnessing a new era of McCarthyism? She actually referred to liberals as "anti-American"� and called for an investigation of Congress to search for and root out anti-American elected officials. Add this to Sarah Palin's incendiary comments that Obama "pals around with terrorists" and the McCain Campaign's new robo calls claiming that Obama "worked closely" with a terrorist whose radical group "killed Americans" and you have a recipe for the next great American witch hunt and a call to violence against Obama and other "leftist" (anti-American) leaders. This is very dangerous rhetoric!!! Every American should study McCarthyism, read the Crucible, and send $$$$$$ to Bachman's opponent (Tinklenberg) as soon as possible. Seriously, do it now! I just sent $10. Anyone can afford 5 or 10 bucks!!! And, while you're at it, send as much $$$$$$$$$ as you can to Obama to help him fight the smears. I just sent $50

• Elwyn, though similar to Eowyn (my fellow Tolkien fan), is a man. And a "true, pro-Minnesota Minnesotan", I'd expect, given that name. http://www.actblue.com/entity/fundraisers/18660

• Seeing how Bachmann's comments on today's Hardball program have inspired donations to Bachmann's opponent, I'm left wondering if Bachmann didn't intentionally manufacture the event in order to elicit similar funding from anti-Obama fundamentalists across the nation, to give a boost to her campaign coffers where local/state contributions weren't meeting expectations or needs. Just speculation on my part; someone with more intelligence and access would need to look closer to be sure.

• I think she's an anti-American American. Seriously.

• Bachmann is despicable. Today (10/17) on Hardball with Chris Matthews, she accused Sen. Obama of being anti-American, and wildly conflated liberal with "anti-American" in the process, asserting without evidence or cause that there are other sitting senators and congresspeople who are also anti-American. That is akin to calling someone out for treason. Joe McCarthy has not been seen for decades. Now he's back, wearing a skirt and an evil, haggard-faced look. She plainly is grasping at straws to make a big deal out of the William Ayers non-issue in an attempt to prevent Sen. Obama from taking the White House. Instead of advancing a positive argument for her party's candidate, she resorted to the worst, lowest form of smears against a sitting Senator. Disgusting. She also read into the Congressional record that somehow ACORN is responsible for the economic crisis. Makes sense. If we trying to find out who is responsible for gross overreaching at the top of the U.S. financial system and lax underenforcement at the highest levels of the Republican government, I think we can all agree that poor black people must be pulling all the strings. Yeah. Right. And monkeys might fly out of my butt. WHOEVER Elwyn Tinklenberg is, she has got to be a country mile better than the reprehensible Michelle Bachmann.
