Top 10 Reasons To Be Afraid Of Michele Bachmann

She may seem like another right wing lunatic, but several right wing lunatics have proved very dangerous. While her antics and gaffes may be amusing, the fact that thousands of people believe and follow her is not. That said, here are the top 10 Reasons To Be Afraid Of Michele Bachmann.

10. She is a modern day McCarthyite

Bachmann wanted to expose anti-American members of congress during the 2008 Presidential Election, not unlike Senator Joseph McCarthy’s infamous campaign to expose communists in politics and entertainment in the 50s. She told Chris Matthews :

9. She is a New World Order-fearing conspiracy theorist.

Bachmann also subscribes to the same New World Order conspiracy theories that inspired right wing terrorists like Timothy McVeigh and Jared Loughner. Like Loughner and McVeigh, Bachmann is spreading the “one world currency” fear, according to AOL’s Politics Daily .

6. She thinks she’s a serial killer.

Okay, maybe not a serial killer. She thinks she’s the cowboy movie star, John Wayne. But she recently confused him with an infamous serial killer . I would figure it was a gaffe but there is something a little serial-killer crazy about her gaze.
