'I never called all liberals anti-American' By: Rep. Michele Bachmann October 20, 2008 07:50 PM EST
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said on MSNBC’s “Hardball” Friday that Barack Obama may have “anti-American views” and that the news media should conduct a “penetrating exposé” to determine whether members of Congress are “pro-America or anti-America.”
Politico asked Bachmann what she meant.
Last Friday, all the liberal special interests from California to Vermont found a new outlet for their energy, their frustrations and their money. That would be in defeating me.
In a matter of 48 hours after I participated in an interview with Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” more than $640,000 from donors across the country flooded into my opponent’s campaign. Almost to a one, these are people who never would have considered voting for me if they lived in Minnesota. In fact, most of them have probably never voted for a Republican. These are strong supporters of Barack Obama who want to see more liberal policies enacted in Washington.
These are not people who know anything about my policy views. They don’t know anything about my record of reaching across the aisle on issues ranging from support for small business to foster care improvements, an issue near and dear to my heart as a former foster mother to 23 troubled teens. Or about my record of standing up to my own party when the occasion calls for it — such as opposing the $700 billion Wall Street bailout — and standing up to members of the other party when they try to push through tax hikes or limit personal liberty.

Maybe not, but he should have. LOL
That was me that said that, not Michelle. I didn’t use the term “anti-American” though. I said they were Commie pigs.
Madame Congresswoman,
You don’t have to call them Un-American
I have, I will, and will AGAIN.
But, I Will NOT question their Patriotism ... questioning presupposes that they HAD SOME at one time.
I did and i do it all the time. All liberals are knuckle dragging anti Americans.
I do.

Come and get me, Truth Squad.
It’s not that all liberals are anti-American, it’s just the American liberals that are.

Don’t let the anti-americans take her down, she works very hard on the floor, is a good conservative, has 4 children, married 30 years, has own business, has fosters 23 children.
Please give!!
Problem with that is, any results of such an exposé by the MSM is bound to point the finger exclusively at conservatives.
well,she is seeing it like it is and should be supported by all conservatives,the anti-americans are going to take everything,if we just keep handing it to them. the struggle to maintain this great country will not be easier,but vastly harder without everyone supporting candidates who try to do the right thing.
Liberals are anti-American.
Come and get me, Truth Squad.
I’m right here waiting for you truth squaders. bring it!
I am Joe the Plumber.
Isn't opposing free speech an anti-American view? Seems like self-fulfilling prophesy.
I agree, and I apologize for addressing her as a he. That picture doesn’t look like any guys I know. LOL
BTTT Star-Trib is still running stories against Bachmann.
