It's called the History Channel. You should watch it. You learn stuff.

[apocalypsos]

In a television appearance that outraged Democrats are already describing as Joseph McCarthy politics, Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann claimed on Friday that Barack Obama and his wife Michelle held anti-American views and couldn't be trusted in the White House. She even called for the major newspapers of the country to investigate other members of Congress to "find out if they are pro-America or anti-America."

Oh, good! I less-than-three blatant McCarthyism!

(The great bit is that her Democratic opponent has had overwhelming contribution numbers since the Hardball segment in question aired. Good.)

"Nobody looks like Joe McCarthy, Mr President. That's how they get in the door in the first place."

I seem to be channeling Toby tonight...
