Rep. Michelle Bachmann Must Be Loony-Tunes

The Following is from The Progress Report, 3/24/2009

RADICAL RIGHT -- BACHMANN: 'I WANT PEOPLE...ARMED AND DANGEROUS' TO FIGHT CAP AND TRADE:

During a Saturday interview with WWTC 1280 AM, flagged by Smart Politics, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) slammed President Obama's cap-and trade-plan, warning that it would have "the impact of forever changing our country." She was particularly incensed that the bill was meant to address global warming, which she flatly denied was a human-caused problem . Instead of merely opposing the legislation, however, Bachmann compared Washington, D.C. to "enemy lines" and urged her supporters to become "armed and dangerous " and fight a "revolution" against cap-and-trade legislation. "I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back," said Bachmann. "Thomas Jefferson told us, having a revolution every now and then is a good thing." This is just the latest evidence of Bachmann's disdain and disrespect for America's government. Last fall, she unwittingly caused a firestorm after saying she was "absolutely" concerned that then-candidate Barack Obama "may have anti-American views ," and called for a McCarthy-like investigation into "anti-American" elements in Congress. "I think people would love to see an expose like that," she told MSNBC's Chris Matthews.
