So investigate to see if Bachmann is implicated. Any potential impropriety is fair game. The fact is this nation's foreign policies and a fair amount of recent decisions in foreign relations seem to have veered in favor of groups who openly wish us ill. The Muslim Brotherhood is not a "moderate secular" organization, and never has been. It's stated goal is to create a worldwide Caliphate under Islamic law. That's why it was banned in Egypt for 40 years.
Of course, everyone here is too intelligent to fall for the "anyone who criticizes us is a racist" gag, right? If that refrain seems unfamiliar, you can slide on back to the 50s and 60s when Congress was investigating the Communist Conspiracy. Of course, the News Media, the intelligensia, and many politicians assured us that the Communists didn't have agents in our government and our other institutions. The Vietnam War protests were grass-roots, not instigated and financed by the communists. Of course, travel ahead in time to after the fall of the Soviet Union when the KGB archives are starting to be declassified: Lo and behold! The Russians had sympathizers and agents involved in government, academia, and helped finance anti-war protests of the Vietnam War.
Now we come around again to the same issue. CAIR and other associates have screamed loudly and frequently that any investigation of Muslims MUST be racism and bigotry. That alone leads me to believe there is fire where people are smelling smoke.
I will go one better than the Soviet records: The CIA had the Venona project in operation during the late 40s and through the 50s which intercepted communications between assorted Americans and Russia establishing contemporaneously that McCarthy was absolutely right about the government being filled with communists--and we see where addressing the truth got him!
