In something that can only be described as a miracle, a Republican congresswoman from Minnesota called forth manna from heaven. The problem is, the manna fell on her Democratic Farm Labor Party opponent.
In a Friday night interview with Hardball journalist Chris Matthews, Michele Bachmann described Barack and Michelle Obama as anti-American and called for a media investigation of left-leaning members in Congress for unAmerican views.
It wasn’t long before the interview made the rounds of the liberal blogosphere. Many expressed shock that Minnesota, the land of Paul Wellstone, Al Franken and Jesse Ventura, was haunted by a fundamentalist who appeared to be channelling the spirit of Joseph McCarthy.
Within 24 hours of the broadcast, Bachmann’s DFL opponent, Elwyn Tinklenberg, received $450,000 in campaign contributions, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune.
The Hardball interview also inspired Bachmann’s Republican opponent, Aubrey Immelman, to reenter the race as a write-in candidate. A professor of evolutionary psychology, Immelman said, "When you say the kind of things Michele Bachmann has been saying, you activate the Stone Age brain, and people react in fear."
Thus, one fundamentalists’ primal fear, and the blessings it afforded her opponents, provide evidence for the coexistance of evolution and God.
