Still on the defensive over her McCarthyite comments that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) “may have anti-American views,” Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) said on Dennis Miller’s radio show today that she doesn’t believe “that Barack Obama is anti-American.” Bachmann confused her own message later in the show when she said she was “concerned he may have anti-American views.” Listen here:
Bachmann’s contradictory statement is reminiscent of when Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told CNN that she wasn’t going to call Obama a socialist, but then added that his policies “sounds like socialism.” Coincidentally, some right wingers are already contemplating a “Palin/Bachmann 2012” dream ticket.
