Something else to consider that I’d ignored up to this point is the need to protect certain supporting individuals critical to rebuilding.

Rep. Bachmann was on Hannity last night and I was very impressed with her.

In the matter of national security, I’d rather be protected by a Palin or a Bachmann than an Olbermann.

“Alter said. “If this were a Democrat, we had been saying this, there would immediately have been a lot of calls for the Democratic Party to rein in you know, this whack job on their side of the aisle.”
Give me one example of the DemonRAT party reining in anyone on their side of the aisle? Bueller....Bueller...

Translation: Rep. Bachmann is doing a great job.

Exactly. Michele is quickly becoming one of my favorite members of Congress. You go, girl!

But, Olbermann didn't rely on his analysis alone. He called on Newsweek's Jonathan Alter to reaffirm his view of Bachmann's alleged indiscretions.

"We might dismiss this. I mean, Michele Bachmann - it sounds crazy," Olbermann said. "But just because it sounds crazy, does that mean she's not to be held accountable for these things like this? I mean - are there not federal laws which specifically prohibit advocating the violent overthrow of the government of the United States?"

Alter, not surprisingly, agreed - but he wasn't in favor of enforcing these laws because they would "inhibit free speech."

"There are. You know, I'm not personally in favor of trying to enforce that because I think it does inhibit free speech and odious speech has to be defended. But what we should call for is what you just mentioned - accountability," Alter said. "If this were a Democrat, we had been saying this, there would immediately have been a lot of calls for the Democratic Party to rein in you know, this whack job on their side of the aisle. We are not seeing those calls right now. We are not seeing Republican leaders in the House of Representatives being called upon to force her to retract those comments."

So now from MSNBC's insightful analysis we have Michele Bachmann - World War I spy, glue huffer and federal lawbreaker. What's next?

Ratcrats rein in ratcrats? They called President Bush and V.P. Cheney... Hitler, Nazi,blah, blah. Sheesh, what hypocrites.

If only we had more Sarah’s and Michelle’s in this world, we might still have a chance to fix this country. I hope that if Sarah Palin becomes our first woman President, that she puts Michelle Bachmann in her cabinet. Michelle would do a great job in the White House

Olbermann accuses the Minnesota congresswoman of breaking “several serious laws,” for suggesting the American people should rise

Well come on Mr Assclown Olberman. List the specific laws. Don’t keep us in suspense...
Oh and if you can’t list any specific law then we can assume that you are just a liberal lying sack of crap right?
Oh wait we already knew that.............

I pay close to $200/mo for cable, have and will vote for Michele for as long as she is willing to represent me, and NEVER watch MSNBC however appreciate C-SPAN and it's honesty via straight from the horses mouth conveyance.

I get the impression this Olbermann person is a first class idiot.

I'd like to do a little "tap dance" on his and Chrissy's faces.

I kinda think the next thrill up his leg ought to be attached to a battery.

Watch what happens next. The MSM and Dems will call on Republicans to “denounce” Bachmann, and like Pavlov dogs the Stupid Party will put out a press release distancing themselves from Bachmann’s comments. They already tried to yank her funding in 2008. Bachmann is a patriot.

Olberman himself is an affront to common sense and common decency, I suppose he’d known when a “serious” law is broken.

Olberman’s rants long ago took the foot bridge across the gap between illustrative hyperbole and delusional madness.
