Has the StarTribune been sold? Or a victim of a hacker?

Do my eyes deceive me? Isn't this just a wee bit negative on dear Michele?
"conspiracy theories...sinister forces...bizarre rants"?!
"anti-American" in quotes (using her own words?)
And this sentence, not quoted below: "But that's a message that's easily lost in her fear-mongering."
I don't know what to think!

After census dither, take a reality check
Bachmann find conspiracies in the strangest places.

Conspiracy theories have been a constant in Rep. Michele Bachmann's political career since she first ran for the Stillwater school board in the late 1990s. She made her initial foray into politics by claiming that the Profile of Learning amounted to social engineering. Her anti-gay-marriage ideas were rooted in notions of sinister forces bent on destroying traditional marriage. Her bizarre rants within the past year against "anti-American" members of Congress, a global currency and government-mandated youth "reeducation camps" all exhibit the same disturbing tendency. She sees threats that few other elected officials perceive, let alone describe on national television.

1. You can only back up so much nuttiness

Bachmann is really goign off the deep end, even for Republicans.

2. I read that, too, and had the same reaction.

They've been so right-wing lately that I was really surprised to see an editorial slamming Bachmann. And they did, HARD.

3. Somewhere on DU I read that one of her latest rants was even too much for Glen Beck

I'm worried that the wing nuts are starting to wake up and figure out endorsing her kind of behavior is not helping their cause.

4. The Star Tribune is owned by a Wall Street firm.

They're against Michele Bachmann because she voted against the Bank Bailout Bill, which she correctly described as privatizing profits while socializing losses.
