Michele Bachmann is a disciple of Joe McCarthy...what else is new?

 

[Wiseacre]

Uh, when she said it cost Obama $200,000,000 a day to go overseas. Jesus people, I don't like Obama at ALL but we dont' need the help of people like these.

REP. MICHELE BACHMANN (R), MINNESOTA: Well, I think we know that, just within a day or so, the president of the United States will be taking a trip over to India that is expected to cost the taxpayers $200 million a day. He's taking 2,000 people with him.

Thank you. 2,000 people? Maybe it did cost upwards of 200 mil/day. They ain't going to be staying at the Motel 8 and eating at McDs.

FactCheck.org : Trip to Mumbai

bachman was just repeating rush limbaugh and drudge GARBAGE and unsubstantiated rumor

We find stories based on anonymous sources always deserve special caution, especially when they come from only one news organization. In this case, the anonymous official is not even in the U.S. government, and any information about costs would necessarily have come second-hand at best, an added reason for caution.
Nevertheless, the story was widely repeated without any additional reporting. Soon after the article was released, The Drudge Report — a news aggregation website — linked to the Press Trust of India article, with the headline "REPORT: US to spend $200 million per day on Obama’s Mumbai visit…" Later that day, Rush Limbaugh claimed on his radio show that "Five hundred seven rooms at the Taj Mahal, 40 airplanes, $200 million a day this nation will spend on Obama’s trip to India." He repeats the "$200 million a day" claim several times throughout the show without specifying its source.
The allegation has generated a great deal of Internet discourse over the past few days, including a Washington Times post that claims Obama’s entourage on the trip "will spend enough to bankrupt a small nation." According to the Economic Times and The Daily Mail, Obama will take over the entire 570-room Taj Mahal Hotel for the trip. A Google search for the exact words of the original Press Trust article returned about 11,000 results. And we received about two dozen queries about it.

BTW, we targeted (and killed) an American citizen in the ME because he was a terrorist.

Timothy McVeigh was an American citizen.

Jane Fonda was an American citizen.

Obama's mentor, Bill Ayres (sp) (the one that bombed the WTC first) is an American citizen.

The Ft, Hood shooter was an American citizen.

Being an American citizen does not preclude one from being a terrorist to America.

I was not aware he bombed WTC. I do know he bombed the Capitol Building, and the Pentagon among other buildings and planned on killing hundreds at Fort Dix but never knew about WTC. Is that new information?

No, it's not true at all, it's simply another lie.

You are correct. Ayers bombed the Pentagon, not the WTC.

snopes.com: President Obama's Asian Trip - $200 Million per Day?

No, I don't think it is possible that it cost upwards of $200M/day. It could well have cost more than 200M rupees/day.

I can admit when I'm wrong, the $200 mil/day is not realistic. Bachmann parroted the same story that most of the RWers were pushing at the time, as do the LWers sometimes too.

"Don’t let the facts on Huma Abedin’s family get in the way of attacking Michele Bachmann

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s request for investigations into several ties between the U.S. government and the radical Islamist group the Muslim Brotherhood seems to have struck a nerve.

Bachmann, along with four other U.S. Representatives, have requested, in a series of letters sent from the five U.S. representatives, that several key issues be explored. Among those concerns mentioned is the connection between the family of Huma Abedin, Deputy Chief of Staff to Hillary Clinton, and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Central to the questions with Abedin, and the others, is first, a fact issue: Do these people in fact have ties, primary or through friends or relatives, to radical Islamist groups?

Second is whether, if indeed the concerns are proved accurate, we should be concerned as to their proximity and influence on United States foreign policy

The fact is, Dr. Abedin does have strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, and has in fact expressed opinions that, if Robin considered them, might change his view that she is a “leading voice on women’s rights.”

In the meantime, the attacks on Michele Bachmann reveal their time-worn tactic to attack the messenger, distract from the facts, and throw in Joe McCarthy for good measure. Bachmann has produced facts to back up all her requested investigations; it is up to the American people to demand their representatives back her up and the facts become known"

Bachmann isn't alone. She has many allies in Congress. When you vote for Romney, you are voting to advance her causes.

I have not heard of any praise for her from Romney.

And yet, for a time, she had supporters for the POTUS spot.

Not from me she didn't.
