"...they keep asking the question hoping that low-information individuals like yourself draw a conclusion simply via the question asked."

You mean, like (DA to defendant) "So, how long have you been beating your wife?"

Indeed. Anti drugs and anti violence is such rabble rousing. Better call Homeland Security.

You clearly haven't a clue what that guy is about. Pick up a Bible and try to comprehend it.

You all do not know Minnesota

Let me give you a run down on Minnesota..The Hater will be back. WHY? You ask. Most boneheads here in Minnesota do not have cable or computers. I have spoke to many Whites here who will vote for her. This place is like WV..Small towns small minds. So look for her to be back. Remember people here voted for someone from the WWE!!!!!

@hunthorse

Seriously you are creating your own reality based upon your own preconceptions of Obama. I don't think this is healthy whether it comes from the right or the left. But, I'm sure there will be a cottage industry for like minded conspiracy theorists over the next eight years much like there was under the Clinton years, ie. Bill Clinton ran drugs from Mena, Arkansas, Bill Clinton murdered Ron Brown, etc.

You aren't served by buying into all of this garbage. But, its a free country.

As far as investigating Palin, McCain and all other I don't care do you. Why do you people constantly get into this race thing?? huh?

I see. That's what I thought. Your concern about "anti-Americanism" extends only as far as Obama, who coincidentally is the guy who you want to lose the election and he's ahead in the polls. As a result, you think why gosh darn it, let's have an investigation to see whether he really is anti-American. It will make for some good teevee!

Meanwhile, as far as investigating Palin who has reported ethics violations and is currently a supporter of a group that wants to secede from the US, or investigating McCain who is a friend of a convicted domestic terrorist (G. Gordon Liddy), that's up to us if we want to pursue it. In other words, this is a purely partisan effort on your part that we can duplicate if we want.

I'm sorry if I wrongly assumed you were focusing on Obama's race, when perhaps you are just focusing on the letter that comes after his name.

Sorry, but the country has more pressing concerns at the moment than the failed campaign of a washed up republican and all the rats who are floating off his sinking ship. If you want to focus on that stuff, have at it. When your grandkids one day ask you what you did during the great trials of the early 21st century, you can say "I supported a congressional policy of distraction against the first black president so we could fool the public into voting for his opponent, whose policies most Americans found repugnant." What a great American you are!

Hey Chris Matthews

Do you suppose you could Senator James Inhofe on your show too? Bachmann is a woosy beside him. Problem is, my Okie neighbors are still voting for the jerk.

Please, help us elect State Senator Andrew Rice!!

RNCC Pulls Out of Michele Bachmann

Now, there's a headline.

She's apologized for saying Barack Obama is unAmerican. Has she apologized for requesting a penetrating expose of others in Congress?

Speaking as a Minnesotan

I have been completely embarrasssed by this obnoxious twit's electoral victory in 2006 in our generally progressive state, and I relish the idea of her well-deserved defeat in November. The best part would be that she did it to herself, not unlike how drama queen McCain has been stickin' it to his own darn self for the past month or so too.

peepsie,

I think that he has a tendency to rabble rouse. I would certainly not want to go to Saturday or Sunday mass while he is celebating communion, would you?

@ hunthorse

Bachmann was well within her rights to demand an investigation into anti-Americanism in Congress. Unfortuantely, freedom of speech is a two-way street and countless (real) Americans have expressed utter disgust with her more-Amrerican-than-thou blathering.

"The woman made a statement about Obama about which any number of people have wondered. Obama seems to have marxist asociations. Think of Frank Marshall Davis who accaording to Obama had an effect upon him, think of Bill Ayers, think of Bernadette Dohrn, think of the Rev. Wright, Father Pfleger, the Revb James Cone."

- There's no shortage of information on any of these people. Just use the tubes of the internets. These issues have been raised and questions asked. If you don't hear the answers that you want to hear, perhaps you are the one with the bias. Do you really think that Right-wing media outles aren't trying to dig up whatever they can? Since they can't find any damning evidence and since they run the risk of getting caught and looking like fools if they simply lie, they keep asking the question hoping that low-information individuals like yourself draw a conclusion simply via the question asked.

"Now the question of members of congess having anti American attitudes, well check it out. Hopefully there are none but who know????"

- Survey says... Rep. Bachmann!!!

And regarding Obama's college days. Agian, do you really think there's a shortage of people trying to dig up dirt? Have you entertained the idea that perhaps there just isn't any significant dirt to be found?

What happens when you get the answers that you demand, but you just don't like the answers because they don't fit the narrative that you're trying to create?

Santos L. Halper

Halper I am concerned about the associations of Obama. We hear nothing about his days at Occidental, Columbia or Harvard. But we do hear about the ones that I mentioned.

Now Halper my friend you derogatory remarks about me do nothing except enhace my opinion that the left resorts to nastyness instead of facts and has done so ever since Vietnam.

Hell my boy, you're mild compared to one guy here who refers to me as a racist and a KKK individual. How silly. BTW what is a "troll"?

Tell me something about Obama's days at Occidental, Columbia and Harvard and not just about the Harvard Law Review.

Ciao my buddy.
