The most direct quote I can recall is: "We need to know the extent of his anti-american views".
She then went on to say that the media needed to investigate members of congress to see "who held anti-american views".
Quite frankly, Republicans in general calling anybody who is less than giddily enthusiastic about our country, and anybody who dares to criticize anything as being "anti-american" or a "traitor" really really chaps my hide.
People like Bachmann have this "mommy/daddy can do no wrong" love for their country, in a manner similar to how 2 year olds view their parents.
Anybody who has the maturity to question whether something we might do is ethical or moral become "anti-american".
She has said some other rather wingnutty things, but this was on national TV.
The insinuation that Democrats are "anti-american" in general pisses a lot of people off, myself included. I am tired of having my patriotism questioned.
