Minnesota Republican Representative Michelle Bachmann deserves to lose her job. Thankfully, the good people of Minnesota have a chance to make sure that happens in a little less than three weeks. Her ridiculous, fear-mongering insistence that Senator Obama - along with other unnamed congressional colleagues - is anti-American, and that the only way to root out the source of the myriad sources of this anti-Americanism is for the media to conduct an expose is a disgrace to the people of her district and the seriousness of the office she holds. (Incidentally, why is it that Republicans hate the mainstream media right up until the point when they want to conduct partisan witch hunts, then suddenly the media is their ally in crime?)
Unfortunately, Bachmann was undoubtedly just taking a cue from the latest McCain/Palin campaign rally in North Carolina, during which Sarah Palin expressed relief at being in one of the pro-America parts of the nation. This kind of speech is taking the politics of division to heights not seen since the 1950's, and it is doing damage to the fabric of this country that may not be obvious for some time to come.
