Perhaps It Is Michelle Bachmann Who Has Ties To The Muslim Brotherhood?

An investigation is warranted.
The claim that Bachmann is racist because she is seeking an instigation is NOT warranted.

I'm sure Michelle Bachmann appreciates your support Dan.

If she were saying the Catholic Church was infiltrating government and affecting decisions, you wouldn't have a problem with that investigation?

Ahh Lora,
LOL! now that's funny!

I was going to ask Dan why he feels such an investigation is warrented, but there's no point.

Michelle Bachmann is almost always on the wrong side of religious and racial discussions and associated arguements. It would serve both Ms. Bachmann and those who support her far reaching charges, to remember that all Americans have the right to hold government office, both local, county, state and federal seats. To attempt to deny those rights to any person is to deny the Constitution's Bill of Rights. A denial which is in violation of the oath of Federal Office to uphold the U.S. Constitution and therefore is an opposit position which can not be held by any seated Congressional Officer.

If my memory serve me, was it not Ms. Bachmann who volunteered to provide indoctrination training on the Articles and Amendments of the U.S. Constitution to all incoming first term Congressman in 2010. Yet, she does not now seem to know the very foundation upon which the Constitution was written. Further, Ms. Bachmann also needs to take a refresher course on The Civil rights act of 1964 which forbids her from violating the rights of all citizens, regardless of a person's race, genda, ethnic background or religious preference . Inasmuch, as she is violating just about everyone of those rights by subjecting a specific ethnic and religious group of people to un necessary scrutiny, denigration and slander by her public statements and actions.

I honsetly believe that Ms. Bachmann is headed for a long stay at a hospital for the mentally ill if she continues down the on again, off again, road to nutsville which she has been traveling for some four years now. I have also noted with interest how in one media session she will act normal and with notable intelligence, then a short time later, in another media appearance, she will make absolutely outrageous statements and accusations. All of which makes her seem to have a BiPolar Mental Disorder. (I'm no psychiatrist, just making a reasonable assumption from her actions)

It would appear that being married to a man who is in denial of his own sexuality and the pressures of being a Congresswoman who could not get enough support to get through the first stages of running a successful presidential campaign, she is fast loosing contact with reality.

So long Michelle, it's been fun to know you.

I would agree that she has some kind of mental disorder.

If not bipolar, perhaps narcissistic personality disorder?

And yes, she is CLEARLY in violation of the Constitution. I'm surprised the Republican Party hasn't yet drafted their own "new and improved" Constitution, with the help of the Tea Party.

President Thomas Jefferson bought a copy of the Koran so he could come to a better understanding of Americas enemies.

The Muslim extremists are still our enemy.

And you would excuse them.....It's not Bachmann who is nutz.

Its only right that questions should be asked about not just this person but any other person who holds a position of trust in Government and who has ties to what can be seen as an extremest political movement. To not ask questions is a dereliction of ones duty to fellow citizens in a time when we have to be on guard at all times from extremist groups who would at every opportunity change the way that we all live.

Timothy McVeigh was a registered Republican who was raised Catholic. Shouldn't we investigate every Catholic member of Congress? Do an in-depth analysis of their religious beliefs and see if they've voted with coercion from the Catholic Church?
Muslims are only identified as the enemy because most have darker skin than the "christians" in Congress.

Lora

I honestly believe that there are those here on GN who would give a {free to do as you please} pass, to anyone who claims to be either a Christian conservative, a Christian teapublican or a Christian rightwing extremist. It seems to matter not to them what crimes nor mayhem people commit, it only matters what religious ideology people profess have.

Such people are so immersed and devout in their religious beliefs, that they have developed a self induced twisted idea of what is right and what is wrong. To them, only their Christian religion and it's teachings are the true articles of faith. All others and their faiths are against the will of, and abhorrent to, their Christian God and therefore are to be hated as being evil and not of God. It seems to be a modern day reinvention of the Catholic Christian Crusades against the Muslims of the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries.

It would seem that such people believe that we (The U.S.A. and Christianity) are at war with the Muslim Religion it's self, including everyone of the Muslim faith and not with just an extremist segment of people who embrace that religion as their belief.

"Muslims are only identified as the enemy because most have darker skin than the "christians" in Congress."

Ahh Lora,
I gotta say you are a riot! I don't think you get much further out there!

Muslims are NOT identified as the enemy.....Radical Islamist are identified as the enemy...Now I know that since you are a progressive that it is mandatory that you play the race card...cause it's all you got...But we already know and understand (intimately) the Catholics and Muslims and the radical Islamists.....And we know that the radical islamists want to kill us!

"It seems to matter not to them what crimes nor mayhem people commit, it only matters what religious ideology people profess have."

And you base this upon what Scott?
We separate those of the Muslim faith and radical Islamist based upon the crimes they commit. Your attack is manufactured out of thin air, no fact what so ever and falls apart on it's own.
What a shallow person.

Good point, Lora.

I just love it when the anti-Muslim thing gets justified with the ambiguous tag of "radical" Islamist. Doesn't specify where the line is drawn, and makes a target on a fuzzy "enemy."

Then you should KNOW that radical Islamists are not in the United States government.
And you should KNOW that our Constitution says people in this country have the freedom of religious choice.

And I'm not playing a 'card' when I point out the racism in the Republican party.

Crimes committed in the name of religion????
This has been going on since the beginning of time. See the Catholic Inquisition.

I believe their focus was to kill everybody who didn't believe what they believed.
Americans don't blatantly say that....they passive aggressively do things like call for "investigations" on people they don't agree with to smear their name..things like that. Stomping on the Constitution they were sworn to uphold. It's reprehensible.

I think poor Dan's off his meds again.

In fact, he's constantly off his meds.

It's called reality Margie.

"And I'm not playing a 'card'"

Well yes you are and you know it...It's the progressive propagandists M.O..
Bachmann understands that the Muslim Brotherhood is a supporter of radical Islamists and thinks that people who associate with them should be suspect....You hate Conservatives/Republicans so you try to say that she hates all Muslims...which is a lie.

But you don't worry about a thing...We conservatives will protect you progressives form yourselves.

Dan

people who associate with them should be suspect.

That's called "Guilt By Association". Which is neither lawful nor Christian in it's usage.

Question, is that the new Christian way or is it simply another one of those pick and choose things you have utilized in previous comments.

You know what I'm referring to, {i.e.} You have many times here on GN conveniently allowed yourself to "pick" the parts of both the Bible and the Constitution which you wish to use and which parts you "choose" to ignore, when engaging in GN discussions.

Michelle Bachmann, as with all elected officials, took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution, period, no discussion, no excuses. She is not a member of either the FBI nor ICE nor NSA nor CIA nor any other national law enforcement or security agency and therefore for her to openly express her accusatory assumptions in a public statement is a violation of the Articles of both The U.S. Constitution, The Bill of Rights, The Civil Rights Act and her Oath of Congressional Office.

There is no valid excuse nor defense for her actions and statements, nor will any amount of discussion make what she has done right. For you to continue to use wrong headed excuses in her defense is akin to a naked man running around a deserted field screaming that the sky is falling. (in other words, you are making yourself sound as crazy as we all know she is)

And your words do NOT make her call for an investigation wrong.

"Oath of Office

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

"That's called "Guilt By Association"."

No It's called guilt by PROVEN association;

"Proof: Huma has Ties to Muslim Brotherhood –Countless Documents Surface"

"You know what I'm referring to,"

It's called debating Scott, and if you can keep up then maybe you should quit trying.....but the difference between you (most progressives) an me is that I usually can back up my argument where you can't.

Thanks for the discussion, you forced me to look a bit deeper...and the facts bare out that the investigation is warranted.

Dan

It's called guilt by PROVEN association;



I have known a lot of people in my long life, the large majority were and are, good law abiding citizens. Unfortunately, among those with whom I have been acquainted or related to and/or associated with, there were some who went afoul of the law and became criminals in one way or another.

Now using your logic, I am to be accused and judged to be, guilty of criminal acts, simply because there were people in my life whom I knew and/or at some point in my life, associated with, who tested the limits of the law.

Dan, I would be willing to bet a a brand new penney, that even you, at some point in your life have not only knowingly associated with a criminal, but are actually related through immediate family ties to at least one such person. However, don't fret Dan, I will not ask for a formal investigation into your criminal alliances nor will I accuse you of guilt by association. (proven or otherwise) The reason being Dan, I put more personal faith in moral sensibility, than in political ideology.

Please have patients with me Dan, I'm doing the best I can to keep up with the debate. Hope my slowness has not caused you any personal anguish nor embarrassment.

You can try all you want to mischaracterize my standing, but it can't change the facts.
And the facts are obvious, an investigation is warranted.

Scott,
I am embarrassed by the positions you progressives take nearly every day.

M. Bachman is too bat sh@@ crazy even for the M/B. her doctor should check her medication, it may have expired.

Hmmmm....maybe you're on to something. If her prescription expired and she's not taking her meds, that could cause erratic behavior.

Bachmann, and the tea party whose caucus she started in the House, have over and over again highlighted their bigotry. This is more of the McCarthyite witch hunts in which the tea party engages in all the time. Even Mitt Romney has embraced the bigoted wing of the Republican party, including actively wooing the extremist tea party elements and tacitly or even openly agreeing when Rush Limbaugh and tea party politicians spew their bigotry.

It's time for any honest Republicans left to stand up to the extremist Koch-owned tea party wing that has hijacked the party.

David

It's time for any honest Republicans left to stand up to the extremist Koch-owned tea party wing that has hijacked the party.

I agree wholeheartedly and have said the same thing several times in previous posted comments here on GN. Unfortuneatly for both the Republican Party and America as a whole, money now speaks far louder than words in Republican politics. A fact which is most evident in Republicans having become totally dumbfounded and unable to say a word against such idiotic reasoning by extremist within their party, because of their party's current financial greed.

Hopefully in the near future, the Republican Party will realize that greed has overtaken their party's ideology and the heirarchy of the party will say, enough is enough, and return the party to political sensibility and reasoning which their party was established upon.

"It's time for any honest Republicans left to stand up to the extremist Koch-owned tea party wing that has hijacked the party."

Probably the most important and relevant comment I'll read/hear all day. Thank you, David!

And Scott H, as well!

People like Ms. Bachmann are dangerous - igniting fear in those ridiculous enough to listen to her ramblings. To even QUESTION if Muslims in the U.S. government have gotten clearance and been investigated means she is doubting the ability of the departments in our government who do these jobs. I'll betcha more errors have been made regarding employees who are NOT Muslim in terms of failing to do a thorough background check.

Good points, Jeanne.

Actually NO! Margie,
Your comments are hateful, biased and not based in truth!

Exactly right, Jeanne. Bachmann and her tea party cohorts thrive on bigotry and false accusations. They've shown it over and over again.

Yes they have. Ever notice when the news doesn't revolve around her, it ends up revolving around her?

Lora,
You can delete my posts.....You can't delete the truth!

Ever heard of Texas?

Why yes Margie I have heard of Texas!

Even Republicans have condemned Bachmann's bigotry and the bigotry of the tea party.

Anyone who defends bigotry is despicable.

"Fort Hood report faults FBI for missteps in Hasan review, cites political correctness"

"The report found that the FBI "erred" in several respects -- by failing to interview Hasan when concerns were raised about his contact with known terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki; by failing to search for more email contact between Hasan and Awlaki; and by waiting too long to pursue leads on Hasan."

Let's make sure that we don't make this mistake again!
