Bachmann's Remarks Instigate Netroots Retaliation

The full fury of the progressive netroots has turned on Minnesota Republican congressman Michelle Bachmann.


The full fury of the progressive netroots has turned on Minnesota Republican congressman Michelle Bachmann -- and it might put her House seat in jeopardy. This story begins with Bachmann going on MSNBC's Hardball and raising worries that Barack Obama might hold "anti-American views" and pal around with "people who hate America." (YouTube clip http://censurebachmann.com/">here.) That appearance lead to a spontaneous burst of anti-Bachmann fundraising, of which her Democratic challenger Elwyn Tinklenberg was the happy beneficiary. Tinklenberg has hauled in nearly half a million dollars since Friday, at least a quarter of that through ActBlue. That, of course, is no small potatoes in a House race, especially in the midwest. But with online fundraising, anyone from Minneapolis to Millinocket, Maine and beyond could kick in some change with a couple of clicks, even if they'd never heard of Congresswoman Bachmann before her sitdown with Chris Matthews. The local paper, the Star Tribune, put it this way: "Suddenly, Bachmann Race Looks Different."

Purely in the sense of being kicked out of Congress, of course.
:-)

and it's sweet. :D

She deserves nothing less.

If that is how we get our illustrious congresscritter's and MSM's attention, and show our progressive muscle, then so be it. Example, Barack Obama's campaign, $150 million in one month. Staggeringly awesome! Power to the People indeed. Beware of the Netroots, scum suckers.

I think Right Wingers are beginning to hate the Internets....

:nopity:

the person using it: HOW do you define "anti-Americanism"?..It's just a bullshit "catch all" unless you actually get them to define it
