So Is Her Son A Communist Now, Or A Fascist?

The irony here is almost too good to be true.

(Michelle) Bachmann’s son, Harrison, has now joined Teach for America (TFA). According to the TFA website, “Teach For America is currently a member of AmeriCorps, the national service network.” The Serve America Act, which she voted against, supports programs such as TFA.

If you'll recall, Bachman railed against the expansion of AmeriCorps and called it "re-education camps".

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. As a parent, I would have a very, very difficult time seeing my children do this.

Well Michelle, time to sit back and take it all in.

I often find myself concerned with the intellectual safety of children whos parents are so rabidly conservative and fly off the handle anytime the government spends a dollar on any organization - save the military or whatever can benefit them politically in the future.

I'm sure that this story will come up on Countdown or perhaps of Racheal Maddow's program, but don't expect a word of this to be uttered on Fox"News" or as an unsolicited comment from Bachman herself.

Michelle vs. Michelle

Has anyone else noticed that since being booted as a fill-in host on O'Reilly's program that Malkin has become increasingly more and more - how does she put it - unhinged?



Despite Malkin's hamfisted efforts in showing that Michelle Obama had something to do with the AmeriCorps IG, she, the President, and the White Housenot involved in firing Gerald Walpin.

The firing "would not have played itself out" were it not for the fact that the board raised concerns about the IG, Gerald Walpin, after the May 20 board meeting, a board member told TPMmuckraker. The board member added that the White House had no role in encouraging the board to make the review request, calling it "completely board-initiated." The White House had cited the request from the board in its letter to Congress explaining the reason for Walpin's firing.

But would you or anyone expect Malkin to approach her subject matter any other way that with her continually mouth-agape prattling? If there is one thing that she is at least moderately good at, it is connecting two divergent dots in order to validate the voices in her head that continually tell her she is right and everyone is wrong.

I'll play devil's advocate for a second and postulate this - what if Walpin was fired for "political" reasons? Would this be any different than the mass AG firings by the Bush administration? If true, this wouldn't make it any better, but Malkin's whinge and shriek doesn't lend the story any credibility.
