Republican Rep Michelle Bachmann's "Anti-American" comments will cost her her seat

[dragonrider]

Chris Matthews ambushed her and took what she said, paraphrased it
to 'anti-american' and then smashed her over the head with his words.

he should be fired

don't worry though, the democrats are spending some $2,000,000.00 to
try and buy her seat. soon, they will have enough seats that they will be
able to do anything they want and we won't be able to do anything about
it. and by we i mean ordinary American citizens.

I saw the interview, and he did badger her and goad her, which is what he does on the show, sort of like O'Reilly and Hannity do on Fox. But he didn't "paraphrase" her like you said, and he didn't put the words "anti-American" in her mouth --- that is exactly what she said in her own words. Watch the video of the interview if you don't believe me --- only clips of it are in the CNN piece, but I'm sure the whole thing is online.

I think there is really nothing more un-American than calling another American anti-American. If you are an American, you are an American, and that is it. We need to get past the name calling. We should be able to have extreme differences of opinion about what the country should do and how it should be run without labeling the other side as anti-American.

What the hell does she mean by "anti-American?" And what does she mean when she says Obama is anti-American or that there are members of Congress who should be investigated for being anti-American? These words have meaning. To me "anti-American" means a person who is actively working against the country. Is she suggesting that Obama and members of congress are actively working against the country? Like some kind of fifth column network who has infiltrated the government?

Holy crap! Get ready for the witchhunts! Turns out her rant spawned such a backlash that her opponent raised nearly a million dollars overnight and is now in striking distance to unseat her! She raised her profile so much that the Democratic party piled in to run Rating: 5
