DNC takes preemptive shot at Bachmann, Palin

In advance of today's GOP rally in Minneapolis, featuring Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, the Democratic National Committee released a new web ad.

A DNC news release accuses Bachmann and Palin of inciting fear and anger.

"Like peas in a pod, these two darlings of the extreme right wing fringe not only spout the most hateful and incendiary rhetoric in the public discourse today, but are also the faces of the new Republican Party," said DNC National Press Secretary Hari Sevugan.
