Craziest Republicans of the Day: Michele Bachmann and J.D. Hayworth
By Michael J.W. Stickings
Both via Steve Benen.
Michele Bachmann: Rep. Bachmann (MN) said many crazy things in an interview with a conservative talk-show host over the weekend, including this: "We're running out of rich people in this country." (Umm... really?) It was all a load of "unhinged stupidity," as Steve puts it. "I should also note that we're not talking about some strange nut screaming on a street corner; this is all coming from an elected member of Congress."
And, even worse:
J.D. Hayworth: On Hardball on Monday, former Rep. Hayworth (AZ) blamed the economic crisis on two Jews, Sen. Chuck Shumer (NY) and philanthropist George Soros: "I'll tell you what was bad -- the sneak attack on our economy, the dress rehearsal that was the debacle of IndyBank, when Chuck Schumer helped get that started, and the guy in the background, George Soros, manipulating all the currency."
Steve quotes Steve M.: "[Hayworth argued] that our current economic situation has nothing to do with eight years of George W. Bush and quite a bit to do with two 'sneaky' gentlemen who just so happen to be of the Jewish persuasion... Yup, a Jewish senator and a Jewish 'currency manipulator' made all this happen."
Aren't Republicans fabulous?

And the difference between the two is. . .?
But it's always the Jews, isn't it? I just wish I know how the rest of us were making so much money controlling the economy, because I took a bigger hit than any of these penny-ante bastards.
