MR. MATTHEWS: How many Congress people, members of Congress, do you think are in that anti-American crowd you described? How many Congress people do you serve with? I mean, it's 435 members of Congress.
REP. BACHMANN: Right now --
MR. MATTHEWS: How many are anti-American in the Congress right now that you serve with?
REP. BACHMANN: You'd have to ask them, Chris. I'm focusing on Barack Obama and the people that he's been associating with. And I'm very worried about --
MR. MATTHEWS: But do you suspect that a lot of people you serve with --
REP. BACHMANN: -- their anti-American nature.
MR. MATTHEWS: Well, he's a United States senator from Illinois. He's one of the people you suspect as being anti-American. How many people in the Congress of the United States do you think are anti- American? You've already suspected Barack Obama. Is he alone, or are there others? How many do you suspect of your colleagues as being anti-American?
REP. BACHMANN: What I would say -- what I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would. I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America? I think people would love to see an expose like that.
Way to leave us hangin', Michelle!
Though she's too chicken to come out and say it, I'm guessing from the rest of the conversation that the anti-American ones are the Democrats. Who comprise over half of Congress nowadays. And just like there are pro-American parts of the country and anti-American ones (the pro-American ones are where Sarah Palin can draw a decent-sized crowd for a rally after security has teased out the reporters and people with controversial t-shirts) there is a sizable portion of this country which, in her view, supports terrorism against this country. In fact, it's a slight majority if you read the polls.
From my perspective, I happen to know this isn't true. We're not against America. We're anti-Michelle Bachman.
And it's pretty obvious to me that the rest of the Republicans think like her (look at the campaign ads!) I'm also opposed to the rest of those guys.
And you might say that espousing views like she (they) is espousing is dangerous, that it could lead to hate speech and violence, and unrest.
Republicans want to destroy America.
***Update*** The polls are out - Bichelle McPrawn was doing pretty well last week, but now she's down 3 points against a german elf; all because Chris Matthews tricked her into saying something nationally that she's only been saying to the base. Well, she hasn't lost yet.
One thing's for sure - if you run a right-leaning interview show you're going to be booked solid for the next two weeks, because these guys can't talk to the normals.
Well, I don't know if she IS one, but she does HAVE one.
