Republicans LINE UP TO RIP Michele Bachmann

[Segami]

"..They were long afraid to do it, but now conservatives have their knives out for Rep. Michele Bachmann. Senators in her own party, congressional candidates, a lawmaker in her state’s delegation and leaders of the House Republican Conference are all lambasting the Minnesota Republican for saying the wife of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.



Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said merely floating the idea that Huma Abedin — a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — has family ties to the radical Middle East group is “pretty dangerous.” “I don’t know Huma, but from everything I do know of her, she has a sterling character,” Boehner told reporters Thursday. “And I think accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous.” Later on CNN, Boehner said he expects to speak to Bachmann soon.



Bachmann’s accusation came in a handful of letters to intelligence and national security agencies raising questions about the Muslim Brotherhood. The letters, also signed by four other Republicans, specifically mentioned Abedin, accusing her late father of having ties to the Brotherhood. Boehner declined to entertain a reporter’s question about whether he would toss Bachmann off the Intelligence Committee, where she’s privy to highly classified information. Behind the scenes, leadership aides said they were shaken by the comments from someone as prominent as Bachmann.



And Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, was described by several sources as incredibly angry when he heard of the incident. The Republican backlash against Bachmann started with Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) statement on the Senate floor Wednesday, saying she had made “sinister accusations.” Rep. Jeff Flake, a conservative Arizona lawmaker running for Senate, tweeted “Kudos to @SenJohnMcCain for his statement on Senate floor yesterday defending Clinton aide. Well said.” Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) added: “Rep. Bachmann’s accusations about Sec. Clinton aide Huma Abedin are out-of-line. This kind of rhetoric has no place in our public discourse.”

1. Oh that Bachmann, still looking for that deep Muslim penetration .

Those Muslims, also hiding in the darkest corners.

[L0oniX]

5. Please do not use "Bachmann" and "penetration"in the same sentence.

Know what I'm say'n?

[Politicalboi]

2. She's a terrorist

Her and Beck and the other 4 idiots should be arrested for endangering the life of the Secretary of State.

[RedStateLiberal]

3. Funny how they only complain...

...about her batshit craziness in an election year. I'll bet that if Rmoney had a huge lead they'd all be silent about this. They know this hurts their brand and therefore hurts Rmoney.

[fascisthunter]

4. she reminds me of how the Nazis demonized Jews

same shit... spread hatred and fear of a group by creating conspiracy theories against them. She's a sick human being... not fit for any job.

[Segami]

9. Control by fear. Nothing ever changes.

[Beaverhausen]

6. Boehner needs to throw her off the intelligence commitee pronto

will he?

[Segami]

11. And Congressional Democrats need to kick it into HIGH gear and begin making some noise to have

her BOOTED off the Intell Committee.

[Douglas Carpenter]

7. well good and I do have to take my hat off to John McCain - he could have ignored it all , but he

didn't. that is truly honorable

[sabrina 1]

8. It must be affecting her daily begging for money campaign also.

I got on her email list somehow and today received this, again begging for money which is all she ever does and I guess she hoped invoking the 'Muslim' scare would bring in some money for her:

Dear Fellow Conservative,

I'm very concerned you haven't responded to my email below.

If our emails have crossed in cyberspace please forgive me.

But if you read my email below you know my multi-millionaire opponent just dumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into his campaign coffers to defeat me.

I can't hope to compete with his wealth (media reports say he is worth up to 111 million dollars) -- but with your help our positive message of freedom, jobs and a secure America will defeat the millions of dollars he is expected to throw at me.

Fellow Conservative, please read my email below and do all you can to help. I need your immediate help today.

Sincerely,
Michele

Emphasis mine. And from her iPhone! She's beginning to sound desperate.

10. It's McCarthyism, akin to fascism...

Should anyone be surprised that this came from a Repuke who represents the brain-dead Repuke base.

[HiPointDem]

12. i hope they carry out their witch hunt, cause it would gore many of their own oxen & show them

for the lying fascists they are.

which is probly why they're dissing michelle now after going along with her crap before.

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Keep yakking, baby. Soon you'll be kicked out of public life.

This woman is completely nuts, no two ways about it.

16. that's some pretty nasty stuff there

To: bimboeruption
They’re either all in on the islamization of America or are too stupid to know the difference.

Muslims are fundamentally dangerous, and islamists should be rounded up and preferably killed if they resist.

[fascisthunter]

18. lunatic fringe... of course they are.

[ThoughtCriminal]

17. Line up!

[longship]

20. Funny scene. Baseball bat; tire iron; nuclear bomb; etc.

Just kidding. A logical extension to black humor.

[demosincebirth]

19. What kind of republicans live in her district that elect her every two years and allow her to

make a fool of herself and bring a reflection of who elects her.

[standingtall]

21. Needs to be pointed out

She is undermining our National security by spreading her lies. I believe Rachel report a couple days ago the Hilary was having tomatoes thrown at her in Egypt, because of the lies being spread by the likes of Bachmann, and Beck. Obviously those Egyptian protesters must not know Bachmann, and Beck hate them, or there is no way they would believe that nonsense. What if the next time instead of tomatoes it rocks? And maybe then something worse? Someone could get hurt. These people have no decency we just recently had an assassination attempt on a seating U.S. congress woman. So they should know better then to stir this stuff up.

22. Oh fuck you! This is the same exact shit pukes have

been fomenting for years. Now I'm expected to buy into their fainting couch routine? Whatever, blow me!
