Michele Bachmann Tries To Rewrite History

Even though we’re now smack, dab into the 21st century, there are apparently some politicians who forget about the wonders of video tape — a form of recording that actually came to fruition on television in the 50s but hit it big time in the 1960s. So it has been around a while, but some seem to forget it from time to time.

In October we ran THIS POST about how Michele Bachmann, a Republican running for Congress, said on MSNBC’s Hardball that members of Congress need to be investigated to see how anti-American they are. We posted the video of the segment.

The segment was all over cable TV, talk radio (left which decried it and right which defended her and people in the middle often split), and on weblogs far bigger than TMV. It led to her opponent getting millions of dollars in donations from angry Americans due to Bachmann’s highly-publicized excursion into 21st century McCarthyism.

Bachmann narrowly won her race — and now she has denied she made the remarks. GO HERE for the details.

P.S. The above link also has the video of what she said.

P.S.S. Video tape exists. So does You Tube. It is something to keep in mind.
