I see that the Marxists are afraid of Michele, too. It’s nice of them to let us know which of our potential candidates are truly threatening to them.
This frequently repeated notion that the left is “scared” or “afraid of” Bachmann/Palin needs to be taken with a good dose of salt (or perhaps KI). When I venture to DU or Kos, they are positively gleeful that Bachmann is running.
Of course, they may be very wrong. Or they may be underestimating the political factors that could win for MB and/or Palin.
Their glee comes in 2 forms:
1. MB/SP will continue to make gaffes or say intemperate things or be caught in contradictions. (Of course, they totally ignore when Obi and other lefties do the same.) But they predict that MB will undercut the TeaParty movement and cause a reaction against all Tea Party positions. Aided by the MSM.
2. They predict that MB’s candidacy will soak up millions of dollars from Conservatives, thus reducing the money available to a “better” challenger to Obama. They fantasize that money is a problem.
This is stupid. There will be plenty of monetary support for MB and SP. Conservative supporters are in far better financial positions to make contributions than the lefties—for obvious reasons.
We await when their glee turns to glum.
