Whenever liberals can’t take you on the facts – and let’s face it, they very rarely can – they go below the belt, literally or figuratively.

Jeff Rosenberg reprises a zillion lefties going after a zillion conservatives in a lefty tradition dating back to the Daisy Ad in going after Represenative Michele Bachman, the second-term Rep and unapologetic conservative from the Sixth District.

She doesn’t fit the template of what a woman is supposed to be (zealously pro-abortion, mindlessly subservient to the party on all else), so – just as with Margaret Thatcher and Linda Chavez and Condi Rice before her, and Sarah Palin after her, no insult, degradation or slander is off-limits.  Nothing pisses a liberal off like an “apostate”, even if the betrayal is only against their parochial notion of a policital gender role.

Just think about some of her recent rhetoric. During the election, she called for an inquiry into whether members of Congress had “anti-American views.”

She didn’t “call for an inquiry”.  She said the media ought to report on some of the less savory views of some of her colleagues.

Recently, she’s called herself a “foreign correspondent behind enemy lines”

An outspoken conservative woman in Minnesota’s browbeaten, lumpen liberal feminist culture? I’d say she’s more of a commando on a mission in an enemy headquarters.

But wait – we of the “Northern Alliance” use the same precise rhetoric every week! Are we not traitors to the glorious Minnesota motherland too?

and called for Minnesotans to be “armed and dangerous.”

Law-abiding Minnesotans should be armed, and dangerous to criminals.  It is, in point of irrefutable fact, the duty of every law-abiding Minnesotan who does not wish to be,at least ethically, a drag on the rest of society to be proficient with firearms, and to carry a firearm about their daily busiess.

She seems unable to control herself.

Now, Jeff is not one of the creepy, bottom-of-the-barrel leftybloggers that clog this state.

But, er, Jeff?  “She seems” is what we call “weasel words”.

Now she sees even the most benign Federal programs in stark, revolutionary terms. Here’s what she said about a proposed expansion of the AmeriCorps service program:

I believe that there is a very strong chance that we will see that young people will be put into mandatory service. And the real concerns is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums.

Increasingly, Bachmann seems unable to focus on her day-to-day responsibilities to her district and her country.

Well, actually, calling out the abuses and overreaches of our current liberal overlords is  part of her job; it’s certainly what she ran on, and what her constituents sent her to do.

Oh, and as re: proposals to morph Americorps into a compulsory social service program?  She’s right. Oh, yes she is.

The real question, given the orgy of spending and social tinkering the Democrats are committing to, is “who are the real crazy ones?”
