1. Is there a link anywhere for those of us who missed it? More info, please.
All I know is Bachmann said something to that effect on Tweety.

5. Tweety drew her out after she implied Obama was anti-American because of his "associations."
He asked her who or how many in Congress she thought were also anti-American. She answered by saying that the media should look
into it in order to determine the answer to that question.

2. Hey, Michelle. Your days are numbered. By all means, make them count.
Clearly, that R after your name says it all.

Bachmann Calls For McCarthy-Like Investigation Into Anti-American Activities Of Liberals»
Appearing on MSNBC’s Hardball today, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) attacked the patriotism of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), based on his alleged relationship to former Weather Underground member William Ayers and the values of Obama’s former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. “I’m very concerned that he may have anti-American views,” said Bachmann. “That’s what the American people are concerned about.”

She then went further, suggesting that all liberal views — held by people such as Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, professors, and all Americans who identify themselves as “liberals” — are “anti-American.” When host Chris Matthews, stunned by her remarks, asked Bachmann how many people in Congress hold anti-American views, she responded, “You’ll have to ask them.”

Bachmann called on the media to conduct investigations into the anti-American activities of members of Congress, similar to Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s discredited House Un-American Activities Committee hearings in the 1950s. “I think people would love to see an exposé like that,” she claimed. Watch it:

9. The McCarthy wing of the Republic party reared its ugly head this week.
We do need to call it what it is and demand apologies. Liberal does not equal anti-American or traitorous.
