Liberal Hysterical Criticisms
Liberals have been hysterical about some of the candid observations of Congresswoman Bachman. For calling for an investigation into the Obama-Ayers connection, the "tolerant" liberal establishment even compared her to the Nazis.[3] She deserves many compliments for her insight and courage. Congresswoman Rep. Bachmann, "has shown an uncanny knack for infuriating critics with sometimes off-the-wall behavior and comments, all the while advancing her own political career." [4]
