Bachmann raises money off of nasty posters

GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann's campaign for Congress is raising money off of a poster that surfaced in the Twin Cities that is, shall we say, highly critical of her.

Bachmann's husband, Marcus, sent out the e-mail criticizing the posters:

"I write to you today as an outraged husband. My wife Michele Bachmann is under attack in the most vulgar and disgusting terms.

Just this week, all around the Minneapolis-St Paul area, posters started popping up for a concert titled "F*** Michele Bachmann." This was a juvenile and immature act by those unwilling to have a dignified debate, but it doesn't stop there!

Previously, Playboy magazine published an explicit, sexually violent article about what the author would like to do to several high-profile conservative women, including Michele. The article was so repulsive and created such an outcry, even Playboy had to blush as they pulled the article...

...You and I both know they are resorting to these vulgar attacks because they know their time is up - the American people have their number and won't put up with the continued trampling of our freedoms at the expense of their liberal ideology."
