Arrow Slimeball Bachmann’s attack on Hillary aide.....

Link to original article.

"TO CONSPIRACY theorists like Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), the Obama administration’s approach to the Arab world is the product not of considered diplomacy but of wicked “influence operations,” traceable to the Muslim Brotherhood and its agents.

Exhibit A among those agents with murky “ties” to the Muslim Brotherhood, Ms. Bachmann warns darkly, is Huma Abedin, a longtime aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Ms. Bachmann’s smear of Ms. Abedin, a 37-year-old Muslim American born and educated in this country, was contained in a letter last month to the State Department’s inspector general’s office.

It would be simple to ignore the baseless and paranoid assertions of Ms. Bachmann were she not a member of Congress and an also-ran in the recent race for the Republican presidential nomination.

Her status doesn’t confer respectability on her views — Americans are inured to all manner of nonsense from Congress — but it does call for a response, if only to restore a dose of rationality to the public discourse.

That response was delivered effectively Wednesday on the floor of the Senate by John McCain, an Arizona Republican who knows Ms. Abedin, as well as what it means to be slimed in public life.

Mr. McCain, who as a candidate for the GOP presidential nomination in 2000 was subjected to malicious and false rumors that he had fathered a child out of wedlock, spoke with feeling about Ms. Abedin.

“Huma represents what is best about America,” the senator said. She is “the daughter of immigrants, who has risen to the highest levels of our government on the basis of her substantial personal merit and her abiding commitment to the American ideals that she embodies so fully.” "

Wow Boy, you've come full circle. The lowest of the low McCain is now your bastion of truth. Tell me, what has happened to make you take this drastic 180?

Was Obama's reason for sending weapons to the Mexican drug dealers to undermine popular support for the secondammendment?

Why else would Obama invoke executive privlege to prevent his paper trail from being exposed?

His attempt to undermine the constitution is responsible for over 300 people being killed and nhboy thinks Bachmann writing a letter expressing concern over some aid's possible connection to the muslim brotherhood is newsworthy

McCain is not running for office against a Democrat.

Oh, and NH? Bachmann isn't running anymore either. Someone should notify the Post so they can stop attacking her.
