Bachmann is an idiot - a very malicious and evil self-promoting bigot; the people who form her base, who give her the benefit of the doubt or who think the woman is intelligent are fools of the variety who believe bat shit crazy conspiracy theories. These are the people who have politics that are fact-free; the idea of fact checking anything, or of being skeptical about anything they are told that generates hate and suspicion is completely foreign to them.
They believe, consistently, stupid, improbable things, all too eagerly. You have to ask the question, what is wrong with the pro-Bachmann people? What is wrong with them is that they have the disease that goes hand in hand with being an extremist right winger -- willful ignorance.

Muslim Brotherhood Mocks Bachmann Claims

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., has claimed that members of the Muslim Brotherhood are infiltrating the US government. From Huma Abedin in the state department to Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., Bachmann has not been afraid to name the people she thinks are secretly working with the multinational Islamic party.
Bachmann’s claims have drawn brickbats from Democrats and Republicans alike. And now they’re drawing attacks from another party — the Muslim Brotherhood itself.
“I haven’t heard these rumors, but they strike me as ridiculous,” said Ahmed Al Nahhas, a Muslim Brotherhood leader in Alexandria, Egypt. In an interview with GlobalPost, Al Nahhas said it was foolish to think Abedin was secretly working for Muslim Brotherhood. “Surely the United States government selects its employees very carefully,” he said.
Another Muslim Brotherhood leader, Ibrahim Ali Iraqi, found the idea that the Muslim Brotherhood was penetrating the U.S. government laughable.
“The Muslim Brotherhood can’t even penetrate the Egyptian government,” said Iraqi, referring to the ongoing standoff between the popularly-elected, Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt, and the Egyptian military’s transitional government.
Iraqi added that at the moment, the Muslim Brotherhood is more focused on domestic issues than any attempt to infiltrate anyone.
“We are in a period of darkness because the country is still governed by the Supreme Council of Armed Forces — and they have a long history of support from the United States,” Iraqi said. “So it is ridiculous that these accusations are leveled at us.”
That’s not to say that nobody in Egypt is listening to Michele Bachmann. Some opponents of the Muslim Brotherhood have used Bachmann’s assertions to claim that the U.S. is actually behind the Muslim Brotherhood’s electoral victory.
Nevertheless, Bachmann continues to occupy lonely territory. Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., blasted Bachmann on Sunday, saying, “Religion is a personal issue to every one of the people who lives in the United States, whether you practice a faith, how you practice a faith, whether you don’t practice a faith, whether you say you’re a member of a faith but don’t practice it, it’s none of the government’s business.”
Bachmann also was rebuked — albeit mildly — from a fellow Minnesota Republican. In an interview with Minnesota Public Radio, Rep. Erik Paulsen, R-Minn., said, “Well, I’ll just say I don’t agree with her comments, and I don’t think they were right to go after an administration official without any background that would prove otherwise.”
