Nutty Michelle Bachmann

Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann has created a media stir many times before, perhaps most notably when she questioned Obama's patriotism and said that journalists should investigate all members of Congress to see who is anti-American.

Heretofore, I've been willing to laugh at her and dismiss her as just nutty.

Now, she's edging up on sedition. Here's what she said in a radio interview about the White House backed carbon cap-and-trade plan, quoted on HuffingtonPost:

"I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us 'having a revolution every now and then is a good thing,' and the people -- we the people -- are going to have to fight back hard if we're not going to lose our country. And I think this has the potential of changing the dynamic of freedom forever in the United States."

The blog "DumpBachmann" thinks this amounts to sedition, defined by them as:

"speech, writing, or behavior intended to encourage rebellion or resistance against the government."

I personally think Michelle is just a harmless clown, much as Lester Maddox was in Georgia in the 1950s. I'm just surprised that the people of Minnesota re-elected her.
