Minneapolis â In an interview on the MSNBC program "Hardball," host Chris Matthews asked Bachmann, currently running for reelection in Minnesota's 6th District, if she thinks Obama may have anti-American views. Her response: "Absolutely. I'm very concerned that he may have anti-American views." A day earlier at a debate in St. Cloud with her Democratic opponent, Elwyn Tinklenberg, Bachmann spoke kindly of Obama. "If the presidency would somehow go to Barack Obama, I would welcome him to the 6th District as well," Bachmann said after the debate. "As a matter of fact, I would put my hand on his shoulder and give him a kiss if he wanted to" Strange juxtaposition. The spirit of Joe McCarthy lives. "What I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would. I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out if they are pro-America or anti-America" http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2008/10/17/bachmann_obama_anti_american/?refid=0 Now, to put her present rhetoric into a very interesting context: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZW79JlRV8k&feature=related http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2R25huq_1iI&feature=related Amazing. This may be of interest to those who find this brand of serial behavior outrageous. http://www.censurebachmann.com/
