In reply to the discussion: Bachmann ties Ellison to Muslim Brotherhood [View all]DallasNE
(7,403 posts)88. The Problem Republican Have
Is that they never have abandon the politics of Joseph McCarthy. Not then and not now. Think not, consider this.
"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."
That was and has been mainstream thinking in the Republican Party for at least the last 70 years. The father of the Southern Strategy was not Richard Nixon, but Barry Goldwater. He voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act and carried only Arizona and the old South in 1964. Before Goldwater we had Joseph McCarthy.
Oh, and where does Mitt Romney stand on all of the Muslim Brotherhood hate talk coming from Bachmann. His silence is deafening. Does that mean he agrees with her?

She definitely has a one track mind. Her mind is made up, don't confuse her with facts.

It's hard to utter the words "GOP" and "decency" in the same sentence.

I know she's off her rocker, but she didn't provide one iota of data to back up her claim

I am sure Bachmann has ties to the flat earth society. And I'm equally sure she has no connection
