The flub to worry about isn't that she got the wrong Adams or didn't know where John Wayne was born. It's her sticking to the line about the founding fathers fighting tirelessly to end slavery.
There's no doubt that some founders opposed slavery, but others were pro slavery (I gurantee that none of the signers from GA, SC, or NC were anti-slavery).
The truth is they were men of great vision, but like all men they were flawed. Bachmann's account seems almost like an attempt to diefy the founders. They were great men, we owe them a lot, but they were still only men, and like all men they were fallen and flawed.
