    It is my opinion that Michele Bachman is a dangerous woman and she should be investigated.  The people of Minnesota should rise up against his woman who is spreading hate and fear in the US.  No elected member of Congress should ever make such statements on national TV such as she has.  Hopefully, Ms. Bachmann will be called on these statements.   Perhaps Palin can have her pastor to throw Bachmann in the water to see if she sinks or floats.
