Yikes. Have you seen Obama's newest campaign ad? Simple and brutal. Watch it AFTER THE JUMP …
Michele Bachmann goes Muslim hunting:
The Minnesota Republican … sent letters to the inspectors general of five government agencies responsible for national security to demand they investigate infiltration by the Muslim Brotherhood into the highest reaches of the federal government. In particular, Bachmann singled out Huma Abedin, the [Muslim] wife of former congressman Anthony Weiner and a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
