> [@magellan01](#): > > Nope. Mother, father, brother. Her mother was not in the Muslim Brotherhood. Her father was not in the Muslim Brotherhood. Her brother was not in the Muslim Brotherhood. But they each knew somebody, who knew somebody, who was in the Muslim Brotherhood. That is the extent of the “involvement” Bachmann wants to investigate. Six Degrees of Islamic Extremism is not the equivalent of “involvement”. ---

> [@magellan01](#): > > Not being privy to how she was vetted, it’s impossible to define “closer”. How about _another_ look, paying particular attention to her immediate family’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Nobody has provided any evidence of any, unless you count the Bachmann/Feeney/Gohmert, etc. letter. ---

Frankly, the fact that magellan knows **of** the muslim brotherhood makes me nervous. I think he should be investigated. After all, you can’t be too safe. ---

Dudes. It’s \*\*brazilrandomnumbers \*\*that has the RainMan-like listing of grievious offences that we’ve committed. \*\*magellon \*\*is just cranky. ---

Meh. A while back someone who fortunately has not really been very active on this board of late, and her now banned friends… Said something about the existence of a spreadsheet they’d been sharing of all the embarassing, hateful or stupid things that their enemies list had said on this board. For use as potential ammunition against them. Now THAT is over the top petty OCD asshole behavior. ---
