In the aftermath of the Jimmy Hoffa Voter Encouragement Crisis/Incendiary Rhetorapocalypse, conservative media figures have been selectively freaking out, and the White House response to ABC’s Jake Tapper has led to a newly-coined “Hoffa standard” by which campaign surrogates are to be judged. As Alan Colmes points out, though, perhaps James Hoffa‘s remarks ought to be judged by the “Bachmann Standard,” since current GOP hopeful Rep. Michele Bachmann used nearly identical rhetoric to encourage voters in 2010.

That’s right, at the Tax Day Tea Party in 2010, Bachmann told supporters ““I am the No. 1 target for one more extremist group to defeat this November,” and added, “We need to have your help for candidates like me. We need you to take out some of these bad guys.”

This article has video from CNN at the link. I had not seen the video except on Countdown last evening. So I am posting to try to match the reich wing poutrage, which is still ongoing. If one is going to criticize another group's speech, one should make certain their own group has not said the same thing.

Actually, both are talking about voting someone out of office. Michele is less clear on that aspect, IMHO.
