a story like this happens. I picked it up from Washington Monthly. This is like donating to Planned Parenthood in the name of Palin.

Times like this, I love my country!

On Friday afternoon, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) went way over the line, telling a national television audience that she wants a neo-McCarthyist witch hunt, including an investigation to discover whether members of Congress are "pro-America or anti-America." The remarks have generated quite a response.

While many have condemned Bachmann's embrace of what can fairly be described as bordering on fascism, many of those offended by Bachmann have also thrown considerable support to Bachmann's opponent, former state transportation chief Elwyn Tinklenberg. {snip!}

"The last few hours have been nothing short of astounding. Since Congresswoman Michele Bachmann appeared on MSNBC's Hardball earlier tonight, there's been a deluge of support unlike anything we have seen. [...]

Our phones haven't stopped ringing. Many have called in to say they're sorry they can only send money and wish they could be here to help."

What kind of help are we talking about here? Tinklenberg raised over $488,000 in just 24 hours. That's pretty impressive.
