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."

yes, they are anti-american, socialist, slave mongers who believe in collectivism. The title of the video assums that McCarthy didn't uncover the Soviet sponsored spies in our nation's capital, particularly in the State Department.
But, hey, NEVER LET THE TRUTH GET IN THE WAY OF A GOOD STORY. People like Chris Matthews love the Progressive control of people by BIG GOVERNMENT. So much for hope and change.
They are nt anti-american for God's sake, being critical of descisions made by the Bush admin. is good for the country. I liv in Britain, I feel the war in Afghanistan is a waste of money and does not serve the British intrest...that doesn't make me anti-British it means I want the best for my country and am sadnd when we fall to such lows as war. If you annalyse what you wrote you'll find that it doesn't actually make sense you just seem to absorb conservative propoganda nd spit it out randomly
You can say that it's nice and patriotic to claim that your criticism of GW Bush is part of the wonderful mosaic of American Politics, and it is. BUT to turn around and say that Collectivism and Socialism is a BETTER model for our Government and to blow up the REST of The Constitution is Anti-American and PRO SLAVERY.
I'll give you "conservative propaganda;" I'm in favor of MORE FREEDOM and less GOVERNMENT, it's that's "propoganda" then I'm a dupe.
Conservatism is not the only view in American Politics you know, why do you wish to hold a monopoly on political view points. Socialism is another political view and if someone holds it it is their right AS STATED IN YOUR CONSTITUTION. Now by useing ridiculous scare tactics is an infingment on liberty, and that is Anti-american! ... That being said there is clearly a minute proportion of socialists in America, Obama certainly is not, I strugle to even see him as a liberal!!
hello: Why sure, you CAN believe anything you want, like Santa Claus....but as soon as you try to twist The Constitution and change the government from one based on Individual Liberty to one based upon Statism-Socialism-Collectivism , you're going to find people like me saying NO FUCKING WAY.
Socialism: "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs..." A "nice" way that allows the State to Enslave the People.
Bachman the Loon Is a good representative of mad hatters/tea baggers. No facts, no evidence, just time wasting Bull Crap that keep Americans from the real issues. What is wrong with the people of Min that they would elect such a useless and Stupid LOON.
Being critical of the Bush2 Regime *IS* pro-America. It is the shit-for-brains Bush2 followers (i.e., members of the America Treason Party) who are anti-America.
ThePatriotsMaxims is misleading us. I wonder why postings are assigned titles that bear little resemblance to the content of the video?
Michelle Bachman did not advocate for a "McCarthy-like Witch Hunt."
All she said was, "The media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would. I wish the American Medis would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out .. are they pro America or anti America?"

As a visitor to Great Britian, I can say, Yes, it USED to be GREAT, but you're Mercantilism and Now Socialism has ruined your nation.
You stay there, I'll come and visit, and enjoy the sights knowing I get to go back home to a nation that at least isn't entirely socialist, yet.
That's the fight, pal. We want to stop Socialism before it does to us, what it did to your nation.

And they should.
