Oops - Bachmann forgot to speak in code

Rep. Michele Bachmann has long been viewed nationally as a solid favorite to retain her House seat in the Sixth Congressional District. But the controversy engulfing her campaign following Friday’s appearance on "Hardball" — during which she called for an investigation into whether her fellow legislators hold "anti-American" views — has altered perceptions of the race in the last 72 hours. - Minnesota Independent

What struck me as I read this piece is the fourth comment down at the bottom of the article - "Just shows how Republicans think, only this one forgot and said it in public."

Yep, that's pretty much the bottom line here. As Becky pointed out the other day, Conservatives like to speak in code.

The first thing I noticed is... the coded language, saying something that has a different meaning to the casual listener than it has for the person "in the know."

If you understand nothing else about Conservatives, understand this point and you'll be much better armed able to truly understand what they're saying and advocating.
