Pro-America vs Anti-America on Nov 4th?

There has been a lot said at Republican rallys lately regarding what is "rela America" or "pro-America". These people keep making these statements that "real America" exists in small rural towns and some have even gone on to say that congressional members should be evaluated to see if they are "anti-American" (democrat) or pro-American (republican). I say anyone who engages in this sort of dialogue is unfit for public office and should expect to be soundly trounced come election day.

Rep. Robin Hayes (R-N.C.) has conceded that he did tell a North Carolina crowd that "liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in God," even though he initially denied making such a statement...On Tuesday, two more reporters and two other witnesses confirmed the quote, but Little continued to deny it, calling the story "irresponsible journalism." Little said she had just as many sources who would deny it, including Hayes' staff and Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), who spoke before Hayes.

But then Politico obtained an audio file of the Hayes quote from radio reporter Lisa Miller of WFAE. Little backed down, saying that Hayes must have misspoken.
Hayes' comment came the day after Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) told MSNBC's Chris Matthews that the media should investigate which members of Congress are "anti-America" and which are "pro-America."

In Greensboro, N.C., Palin had said at a recent rally that "we believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, pro-America areas of this great nation."

Hayes had followed Rep. Patrick McHenry, also a North Carolina Republican, who laid out the choice between McCain and Obama.

"It's like black and white," yelled someone from the crowd.

I think its another example of a politician putting their foot in their mouth.

The only thiing this governemnt and this election has done is draw a line and turned everyone against one another. Its always an us vs. them argument.

Pro and Anti americans can not be sorted by party. There are Pro and Anti Americans in both partys. This just shows how stupid our politicians are. It also shows how stupid the people are to keep voting in the same morons over and over. We really need a whole new congrees, senate and a new party to run the whitehouse! Enough Dems and Reps!

I consider myself to be a social liberal on most things ... and I'm very pro-America. However, I do believe that there are some on the ultra left that DO hate achievers, capitalism and free markets, and I would consider that to be anti-American. We have a few who post right here in this forum.

No it's clear the Republicans are labeling Democrats as "anti-American" but when the press calls them out on it they are all like "I didn't mean it that way"...bullshit. And we are getting ready to get a new congress,senate, and president...all from the democratic ticket. Thats why these closet hillbillies are so fucking scared because there representation in our government is getting ready to go WAY down.

All this "anti-American" bullshit is just the last desperate throes of a failed campaign. They realized weeks ago that they had lost on the issues so all they have left is a lot of name calling and finger pointing. It's probably going to get even uglier before it's over. Thank goodness there's only another couple of weeks left.

Here's Chris Matthews' interview with Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) for those of you who missed it. The really nutso stuff is towards the end.

In the 48 hours after this interview was aired, her Democratic opponent in the election received more than $640,000 in campaign contributions from donors across the country.

As a country we have seen this sort of thing before, last time it went by the name of McCarthyism and long before that it was known as the Salem Witch controversy. Time to vote these hateful fuckers out of office.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) was speaking for herself and made a huge mistake that will probably cost her the election. The Democrats and idiot people in the media who are in the tank for the Dems, like Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann, are trying to blanket McCain/Palin with Bachmann's stupid comment. Then they turn on the Republicans and accuse them of dirty politics. Hypocrits! Bah!

This guy said his remarks moments before McCain Palin took the stage at a rally, then tried to lie about it, then said it was taken out of context...and without a rebuke from McCain/Palin!
