Representative Michele Bachmann is carrying forward one of the most cherished traditions of dirty politics, the Anti-Patroitism Slam. It is amusing to see film of her very direct and unambiguous charge of anti-American views, followed by her statement the following morning that she was misread by the liberal press. Sorry, Mickey, but we've got you on tape. Next time you want to back out of a slam, be more careful to not say it on the record in glorious living color.
The only gesture missing from her slander was the infamous List. I can easily see Representative Bachmann waving a secret list of anti-American Congressmen and spouting some nonsense about infiltration of the State Department. Of course she would update the slam by replacing "Communist" with "Terrorist".
Senator Joe McCarthy would be proud to see his legacy carried on.
