(The Politico) Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) suggested today that the media should investigate members of Congress to determine if they hold anti-American views.

During an appearance Friday on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, Bachmann was busy railing against Barack Obama and his ties to former terrorist-turned-education-activist Bill Ayers and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright when Matthews asked the controversial Minnesota Republican whether she suspected any of her congressional colleagues of holding anti-American views.

Bachmann's answer was not the resounding "No!" that one would expect in response to such an inquiry.

"What I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would," Bachmann 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 be -- would love to see an expose like that."

The Crypt, for one, rejoices that the issue of anti-Americanism has returned to our national political debate, along with the use of the terms "socialist" and "communist," which we missed out on the first time around. We thus call for the immediate restoration of the House Un-American Activities Committee, which has been out of business for almost 40 years. The Crypt also wants Richard Nixon installed as chairman of HUAC, despite the fact that he passed away in 1994.

6. Do you mean Prescott Bush, the Nazi-loving grandfather of Commander AWOL Bush?

The corporate media has been silent on this factual Bush family treason for 8 long years.

I expect they will remain complicity, by failing to do their duty and ignoring this Bush family travesty...

Why do republicons love traitors and AWOL frat boys?

8. Thank God the Republicans will not have control of Congress and the Executive

I'm afraid they would take up where ChimpCo left off, in the destruction of the Constitution and our civil liberties, were they to return to the majority.

9. Tell me you little nazi bitch

What 'view' would YOU CONSIDER ANTI-American?

In favor of national health care? For protecting the environment? Against theocracy? For civil liberties? For truth in advertising laws? For PEACE?
