Unprecedented "Get Out the Nuts" Vote Leads to Bachmann Win

(SYOP 11/7/08) After suggesting that Barack Obama had anti-American views in an exchange three weeks ago with MSNBC host Chris Matthews, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) told the American Psychiatric Journal Thursday that she was "extremely grateful that we have enough crazy people" in Minnesota who "sent a signal that nitwits have just as much belief in the American dream as people who have finished the fifth grade."

In a bogus phone interview, Bachman said she was gratified that voters in her district didn't let the media intervene in the race, "by believing my actual hate-laden words."

I don't think it's enough to simply bury such candidates with a sterling ground game while turning the other cheek. Such candidates must be called outright for lies and slander. American's too often miss the link between their dangerous rhetoric and the possibility for outright fascism to take hold in America. The media must dot the i's and cross the t's for people unwilling to see what's really been going on. The last 8 years have proven that a police state can happen here in America. We now have a mercenary army stationed on our own soil, a pretorian guard developed by the Cheney/Bush Administration; Reporters have been arrested for simply doing their jobs; the right to peacefully protest and assemble as Americans, a right held precious by our founding fathers, was systematically crushed by well trained shock police during both our recent conventions; Habeas Corpus, so easily forsaken by the Democrats in Congress, has not yet been restored; due process was just administered to two young white assassins in Tennessee while political prisoners lie in hopeless detainment at Gitmo; an evil vein of white terrorism exists on our own soil seemingly barely addressed by the so-called war on terror. Bachmann is symptomatic of a cancer in America that has not yet been properly identified publically. There's yet a lot of work to be done to fight the revival of anti-intellectualism in America. Let's hope Obama's election signals a centrist move toward greater normalcy.
