Insane In The Bachmann!

Calling her out: Though John McCain (right) never mentioned her explicitly, he gave a seven-minute speech slamming a letter that Michelle Bachmann (left) wrote deriding one of Hillary Clinton's top aides
So f***king dumb,  Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. The controversial former presidential candidate once again put herself front in center over rhetoric that comes off as extremist.

Mitt Romney is going to be the Republican nominee for president. He will take on President Barack Obama in the general election. The former Massachusetts governor has taken some lumps in the primaries. But he managed to outwit Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum in the race for the nomination. Now on the whims of the struggling economy, the Republicans feel like that got President Obama on the ropes and they could deliver a knock out blow to the incumbent.

But how could they get their act together if you got people who are key figures in the party screwing it up?

Ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner was shamed out after a sex scandal. His wife Huma Abedin gotten death threats after Bachmann and conservative agitators accused her of being affiliated with terrorists.
This has been a rough week for the Republicans. President Barack Obama launched an aggressive campaign to paint Mitt Romney as an out-of-touch millionaire who would ship American jobs overseas. Some of the president's most aggressive campaign ads are in Ohio, Virginia, Florida and Colorado.

They seem to be working. The public is now interested in the former governor's tax returns from years ago. A theme that Mitt Romney wants to avoid. He wants to continue hammering the president on his "failed" record as job creator and economic wizard. Romney is also running aggressive ads in these swing states.

Less we haven't forgotten about those lovely supporters of Mitt Romney.

Former political rival, Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota is likely going to have a talk radio program in the near future. Her rhetoric comes straight out of Glenn Beck, Mark Levin and Michael Savage's playbook.

Her comments recently about former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner's wife and Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minneosta) are borderline Islamophobic.

Now I know it's likely the Republicans are going to distance themselves from her. Her rhetoric has outraged many and it's going to hurt Romney in the long term. Senator John McCain, a former presidential candidate from Arizona dismissed her rhetoric as out of bounds. Speaker of the House John Boehner the Ohio congressman in charge said that her comments are not endorsed by the Republican Party.
Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minnesota)

According to The Daily Mail from the United Kingdom, Anthony Weiner's wife Huma Abedin has been placed on close watch after being threatened by a New Jersey man.


The typically press shy Abedin made headlines last week after Bachmann claimed that her family had connections to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood.

Now police have been forced to place extra security around the wife of the disgraced former Congressman after a man, who is thought to be Muslim, threatened her.

Not only she gotten out hand with comments about Abedin, she goes after Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minnesota) because she thinks that he's got ties to the Muslim Brotherhood as well.

Ellison and Congressman Andre Carson (D-Indiana) are Sunni Muslims. Both are African American.

Ellison smacks down Bachmann's claims of him being a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Eygptian elections this year gave the first democratically elected president. The right wing are upset over the Muslim Brotherhood winning the presidency. They believe that the politically conservative group will sever ties with Israel.

Bachmann comments come under fire back in 2008 when she declared on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews that Barack Obama and his allies are anti-American.

Joe McCarthy would be proud! Right?
