Michelle Bachmann: It's all Chris Matthews' fault!!!11

[Bluebear]

Minnesota Republican Michelle Bachmann, in the middle of a political dustup for suggesting that Barack Obama and others who serve with her in Congress might harbor "anti-American views," this morning said it was her TV network questioner who initiated that characterization.

Appearing today on KMSP-TV, Channel 9, the east metro House member said her comments Friday on MSNBC's "Hardball" during an interview with host Chris Matthews were "completely misconstrued."

"I did not suggest the word 'anti-American,' " she said. "I said the media should look into views," adding that the national press has "appalling lack of curiosity" about where the Democratic presidential candidate stands on the issues.

On Friday, Bachmann was asked by Matthews whether she believes that Obama may have anti-American views. She replied, "Absolutely. I'm very concerned that he may have anti-American views."

23. Exactly. It's more than just Obama...

...idiot said,

“I wish the American media would take a great look at the
views of the people in Congress and find out: Are they
pro-America or anti-America? I think people would love to
see an expose like that.”
