According to the Minnesota Independent newspaper and NPR news, in an interview with journalist Chris Matthews recently, U.S. Representative Michelle Bachman from Minnesota said, "...
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?"
Also, in her opinion, Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama "may have anti-American views." Who is she to decide what is pro-American or anti-American views?
As a result of her speech, her Democratic rival in the upcoming election received a huge infusion of campaign contributions. If the election wasn't so close I would consider making a contribution to help defeat this right-wing harpy. I'm sure she falsely believes that "pro-American" means having rigid, inflexible radical right-wing views. McCarthyism and the very existence of the House Committee on UnAmerican Activity from 50+ years ago was not merely a blight and a huge disgrace in American history, but were ironically "Anti-American" themselves. I sincerely hope that McCarthyism isn't coming back.
