Michelle Bachmann’s Teabagger Rally Creepier Than Halloween

Andy Towle November 6, 2009

Rachel Maddow points out the cast of characters attending Michelle Bachmann's health care teabagger rally yesterday.

Watch, AFTER THE JUMP…

Writes Dana Milbank in the WaPo:

"Many of the demonstrators chanted 'Weasel Queen,' their pet name for the speaker of the House. Others wore masks of Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.); they were covered in fake blood and carrying dolls representing aborted fetuses, as the Grim Reaper led them in chains to hell.In the front of the protest, a sign showed President Obama in white coat, his face painted to look like the Joker. The sign, visible to the lawmakers as they looked into the cameras, carried a plea to 'Stop Obamunism.' A few steps farther was the guy holding a sign announcing 'Obama takes his orders from the Rothchilds' [sic], accusing Obama of being part of a Jewish plot to introduce the antichrist.But the best of Bachmann's recruits were a few rows into the crowd, holding aloft a pair of 5-by-8-foot banners proclaiming 'National Socialist Healthcare, Dachau, Germany, 1945.' Both banners showed close-up photographs of Holocaust victims, many of them children…Now, objecting to the health-care bill is one thing. But doesn't itsend the wrong message for House Republicans to hold an event on theCapitol grounds full of hateful and gruesome words and images?"
