If you give her enough rope...Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann gives her opponent a boost in donations

In case you missed Chris Mathews’ interview of guest Minnesota (Nice) Representative Michele Bachmann (Minnesota’s 6th District) on Hardball last Friday night, here it is. I hate to be the one to say it, but Congresswoman Bachmann has just set women back a decade with this interview. Evidently, the nice stuff was just window-dressing for the RNC, but the content of what she said perplexes me. Bachmann alleged that Senator Barack Obama and other members of Congress hold “un-American views” and she proposed a media investigation into "the views of the people in Congress [to] find out: Are they pro-America or anti-America?" When are politicians going to stop the lies? You would think in this age of technology, with limitless information at our (dare I say Joe Plumbers) fingertips, politicians would stop blatantly lying about issues de jour.

Oh the Irony
One would think that after appearing on Tweety-Bird’s show and knocking it out of the park (or the exact opposite), Bachmann would have countless monies showered upon her, but the opposite is true, her opponent, Democrat Elwyn Tinklenberg (someone I have never heard of but did receive a $25 pay-pal donation from the Bushido) raised 1.3 million dollars since Bachmann’s appearance on Hardball. Hmm, oh well, Congresswoman, you stay “nice” there in Minnesota.

Here is the link to Huffstutter’s article from the LA Times concerning the raining of donations for Bachmann’s opponent Mr. Tinklenberg. If you wish to donate to his campaign, you can do so by clicking here on this link.
