We all know Michele Bachmann is the queen of right-wing conspiracy theories.
Last week, she sent a letter to the State Department asking them to investigate Huma Abedin, one of Hillary Clinton’s top aides, for being associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
Scores of pundits and politicians denounced Bachmann’s baseless accusations -- including Republicans John McCain and John Boehner. But this morning in a nationally televised interview on CBS, Eric Cantor refused to take on Bachmann.
Eric Cantor doesn’t have the courage to stand up to Bachmann or the right-wing fringe. Will you help us reach 100,000 strong denouncing Bachmann’s attacks?
Sign our petition right now to denounce Michele Bachmann’s bigoted attack on Muslim-Americans >>
Thanks for taking action.

After Bachmann Allegations, Clinton Deputy Reportedly Under Police Protection
| Mon Jul. 23, 2012
Huma Abedin. There is not even a smidgen of credible evidence to back up the charges Bachmann and her colleagues have made. But one of the individuals Bachmann has singled for her supposed ties to the Muslim Brotherhood—Huma Abedin, a longtime aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton—has suffered very real consequences. Abedin, who's married ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner, with whom she has a new baby, has received threats in the wake of Bachmann's charges and is now under police protection, the New York Post reported Sunday. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) took to the Senate floor last week to defend Abedin, but that hasn't been enough to stop the witchhunt.
People for the American Way, a liberal advocacy group, has called on Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio), who called Bachmann's charges "pretty dangerous," to remove her from the House Intelligence committee as a way of sending a message that this kind of conduct is unacceptable.
