| Description | Rep. Michele Bachmann, appearing Tuesday night on Fox News' show with Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes, dismissed as an "urban legend" reports that she had suggested on a preelection cable show with MSNBC's Chris Matthews that then-Sen. Barack ABM and other members of Congress may be "anti-American" and that the media should investigate them as such.
Bachmann also accused Democratic Senate candidate Al Franken of trying to "stuff the ballot box" in his Minnesota recount struggle with GOP incumbent Norm Coleman.
Resident Fox liberal Alan Colmes, who read a transcript of Bachmann's "anti-American" quote from her appearance on MSNBC, offered to have her watch the video clip of her remarks on his own website. But the segment ended before Bachmann could fully respond.
During her appearance, Bachmann also derided Obama as "more of the same" over reports that many of his appointees will be recycled figures from the Clinton administration.
"I don't think any American sees this as change," Bachmann said. "It's back to the future." |
