I have long held the belief that the current republican party is flat out insane. One of the best and most telling examples
is Michelle Bachmann!
While she has been crazy, hateful and divisive, that is what the republican party is looking for these days. They have rewarded her hatred by making
her THE fundraising leader in the national republican party(tripling what paul ryan has raised).
Michelle Bachmann is at it again! Sh
e visited a Synagogue in Chicago and cleared the place!The outspoken lover of all things Israel, turns out that all things Israel are not in love with Bachmann.
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) swung by a Chicago-area synagogue for
a worship service on the eve of Yom Kippur last week, upsetting
congregants and provoking one man to mount a campaign for her Democratic
challenger before the end of the night.
The Chicago Tribune reports
that Rabbi Michael Siegel of Anshe Emet Synagogue observed protocol by
offering a customary greeting to Bachmann during the services. While
elected officials are traditionally acknowledged during such events at
the temple, the presence of the conservative Minnesota firebrand
prompted particular displeasure.
Some reportedly walked out of the ceremony, while Gary Sircus, a
25-year member of Anshe Emet Synagogue, voiced more active opposition to
Bachmann's attendance.
"The holiness of the room and the holiness of the evening was greatly
diminished for me, if not completely destroyed," said Sircus, according
to the Tribune. "Our congregation values and embodies
tolerance, compassion, respect for individual rights, intelligence,
science -- all of the things that I think Michele Bachmann stands
against."
Bachmann has been an outspoken supporter of Israel and an unabashed
opponent of gay rights, an awkward policy duo on that particular night;
Siegel told the Tribune that the night's service had included a piece honoring Israel for its openness to the LGBT community.
Hours after storming out of the service, Sircus donated to Jim
Graves, Bachmann's Democratic opponent in Minnesota's 6th Congressional
District, and included a note.
"I felt that the best way to 'honor' Ms. Bachmann's visit was to make
a contribution to your campaign," he wrote to Graves. "Even though I do
not vote in Minnesota, please do everything in your power to take away
this evil woman's soapbox."
We have a real chance this election, to end the reign of some of the most extreme players in Congress, which will go a long way to fixing our national problems.
Michelle Bachmann would be a good star
t and her opponent, Jim Graves, is now within the margin of error.
