A campaign to censure Rep. Michelle Bachmann over her remarks has been launched. * * *
In a television appearance that outraged Democrats are already describing as Joseph McCarthy politics, Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann claimed on Friday that Barack Obama and his wife Michelle held anti-American views and couldn't be trusted in the White House. She even called for the major newspapers of the country to investigate other members of Congress to "find out if they are pro-America or anti-America."
Appearing on MSNBC's Hardball, Bachmann went well off the reservation when it comes to leveling political charges against the Democratic nominee.
"If we look at the collection of friends that Barack Obama has had in his life," she said, "it calls into question what Barack Obama's true beliefs and values and thoughts are. His attitudes, values, and beliefs with Jeremiah Wright on his view of the United States...is negative; Bill Ayers, his negative view of the United States. We have seen one friend after another call into question his judgment -- but also, what it is that Barack Obama really believes?"
Goaded by a Chris Matthews to explain exactly what she was talking about (at one point Bachmann seemed to imply that liberalism was anti-Americanism), the congresswoman waded deeper into the mud.
"Remember it was Michele Obama who said she is only recently proud of her country and so these are very anti-American views," she said. "That's not the way that most Americans feel about our country. Most Americans are wild about America and they are very concerned to have a president who doesn't share those values."

@grampfan Uh, I didn't attack your grammar. And even though every news outlet is biased, Fox takes it to an irresponsible extreme by outright lying and telling their viewers that Obama is a Maoist dictator.
It's the Republicans that had created more "stupid" laws by enacting the Patriot act, by letting overly-powerful corporations run free, and by using religion as a wedge to divide the country politically.
BTW, if you actually check recent tax history, Obama LOWERED your taxes.
So I am going to believe msnbc, cbs , abc and others are not bias? Alarmist? The truth can hurt. You are willing to give up what we have here in the USA. Give in to more and more stupid laws and taxes? Check your grammer sir. You tossed the first stone. Create more Government Jobs to suck up more taxes. Stop spending, Stop with all the new taxes and stop with all the new laws.
Watch the alarmist rhetoric that you hear out of these people, especially Glenn Beck and you'll see what I am talking about. Just google "Fox News Bias" and you can see hundreds of examples right one the first page you pull up.
Nudging of violence toward the president????!!!! Sir, you are not worth the time having this conversation. I am an American. A Conservative and a Republican. The Presidentcy is bigger than any one man. I want him to be successful as I am sure ALL Americans do. We NEED him to be successful. I watch Fox news. They are fare in reporting. You Have a Problem.
Who cares about ratings? Why is it that Fox News can't defend itself using facts, and only relies on the fact they get good ratings? Does good ratings justify lying and smearing people? Does good ratings justify a tacit nudging of violence toward the president?

The level of idiocy on display here is scary. She belongs behind the makeup counter at a department store, not in Congress.
