Bachmann hitting Tinklenberg with smears... RW rallying around her

[catgirl]

Here's the email I received from the Tinklenberg camp:

I had hoped this campaign would be an honest discussion of how to rebuild our nation’s economy, create jobs, and strengthen the middle class. But Congresswoman Bachmann is embarrassing the people of the Sixth District once again, dragging what should be a civil debate into the gutter with two new attack ads accusing me of being a criminal.

Her allegations are baseless and just flat-out false – evidence of a desperate campaign that will do anything to win.

The extreme right has come to Congresswoman Bachmann’s aid in the last few days with more than $860,000 in contributions to help her air these smears and lies. Bachmann is raising money because of what you did last week – by generously funding our campaign, you’ve activated the country’s fringe right-wing, and they’re on the attack. She is firing up her base and will stop at nothing to keep from losing her Congressional seat: a seat she simply assumed was hers. That is, until you spoke ten days ago.



We simply cannot let her get away with these heinous attacks. The voters of the Sixth District deserve better. Bachmann’s extremism and divisiveness know no bounds. We must do all we can to deny her a second term. You’ve done so much to help us reach this point, and we are in a strong position to win this race. But we need your help now more than ever.
