Bachmann outraged about the "HURTFUL, OVER-THE-TOP" critique of Sarah Palin

[Bluebear]

A conservative Christian congresswoman says although the attacks on Sarah Palin's reputation leveled by McCain campaign insiders are "over the top and hurtful," they will embolden base conservatives to rally to the Alaska governor's cause even more.

Anonymous McCain aides have been quoted in various media outlets as saying that the governor did not know Africa was a continent and could not name the three countries in the North American Free Trade Agreement. She has also been blamed for McCain's defeat and accused of ignoring the advice of McCain advisers during the campaign.

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), a staunch supporter of Palin, says it is disappointing that McCain campaign insiders would be so "vicious" in their attacks against Palin -- not to mention so soon after the election...

Bachmann -- who won reelection to the House in a close race last week -- believes former McCain campaign aides and other Republicans attacking Palin have an agenda to make sure she does not have a future in the Republican Party.

1. Maybe she's angling to be Palin's veep pick in 2012. Palin-Bachmann 2012 anyone?

2. Not defending Palin here, but

I think Rick Davis is enough of a prick to be behind the snubs against Palin coming out of the McCain camp.

4. Probably, but Bachmann is the LAST person who deserves to be outraged at "over-the-top"

3. It's a hoax....

The guy claiming to be the "insider" has been telling the media lies for months.
