Ghostbusters, where are you?

enraged ...scared...ashamed....voting!


I have my holywater, I have my bible, I am calling in the priests to exorcise the demons, the ghosts...I will be a ghost buster for Obama...


I was watching Chris Mathews" on Hardball, and who should appear as a guest? Minnesota's own Michelle Bachman..you know, the goofy, right wing from the Stillwater district. I decided to listen, even tho she is usually so inane I go nuts.

SHE WAS RIVETING...in all of the wrong ways. I watched Mathews face go grey, then sad, as she "Palined" the hell out of the interview. But, she went beyond Pailn to channel the cold and hateful spirit of Senator Joe McCarthy, the witch hunting, commie hating, anti-semitefrom the 50's.

She called Obama a terrorist, repeatedly...she repeated all of McCain and Palin's lies again and again...she called all democrats in the house asnd senate," left leaning liberals, said many of them "pal around" with anti-patriotic terrorists. She warned him that the country was rife with lefties, liberals and terrorists like Ayres...most democratic voters would choose to pal around with that type...She assured us that despite facts to the contrary, Obama did begin his campaign in a terrorists living room and she personally knew thst to be a fact...Policy wise, she insinuated that Obama would kill babies before they were born, poison young minds with a left-leaning education system, lead this counrty into a place where true patriots would suffer.

I saw Joe McCarthy...I saw narrow minded hatred, racism, bare-bone stupidity, butmostly I saw in her a McCarthy-like arrogance...a belief that she and her like minded flag waving, creationist patriots are the only "right" ones in this country. I saw how fear used to drive deep gulfs between political parties goes too far...incites vioence

Chris Mathews ended the interview, looking sick...he said that he had never met her before , he saw how that kind of mindset was dangerous, inflammatory, the pundit who followed said she was so shocked by the Bachmann rant, that she could barely breath. She dissectedher hateful right wing crap and then Pat Buchanan, said how much he liked Bachman's points ...you just have to watch the whole ghost of McCarthy thing for yourself...it was as good as any college level history/sociology class I ever sat in ...
