Top Anti-Health Care Reform Group Teaming Up With…Michele Bachmann!


If you’re running an anti-reform group and are trying to persuade the public that you represent mainstream views on health care, it’s probably not a great idea to team up with a public official who called for a probe of anti-American members of Congress and has claimed Obamacare is a secret plot to turn America into Castro’s Cuba.

Yet Americans for Prosperity, the well-funded group that’s spending millions of dollars to sink health care reform, is teaming up with none other than GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann.

The group is set to hold a teletownhall tonight with Bachmann and Senator Jim DeMint, Americans for Prosperity spokesperson Amy Menefee confirms to our reporter, Amanda Erickson. The purpose: To buck up the anti-reform troops and let them know what’s happening in Congress.

Bachmann has called on the media to do a “penetrating exposee” into members of Congress to determine whether they’re “pro America or anti America.” More recently she said Obamacare is designed to “make us like Havana in 1959, when Castro came in.”

Bachmann, needless to say, has also endorsed the “death panel” madness.

A top anti-reform group is featuring Bachmann and the Senator who said health care failure will be Obama’s “Waterloo” as its two primary spokespeople at an event? That’ll undoubtedly juice the right wing base, but the pro-reform camp is likely to jump on the use of the duo as proof of the anti-reform movement’s true ideological colors.

sheer wingbat madness.
