It's the same as Muslims whom don't condemn other Muslims whom commit terrorist actions. While they might not support it, they end up supporting it by not condemning the actions of those whom do.

While it's not the same seriousness, it is the same concept. The Right Wing has this "team" issue that allows morons like Michelle Bachmann to breed with in your ranks like wildfire.

Her remarks are clearly ridiculous but she is pandering to her narrow minded base. Meanwhile people like you and our other GFY Republicans may not agree with her, but you don't say anything about it. You just brush it off.

This same brushing it off happens all the way up the line with-in the Republican party which empowers the lunatics to run amok. By saying nothing you are doing just as much wrong as those whom support her actions, because if people in her own party took a stand to ridiculous things like this being said, things like this would stop being said.

Much like if Muslims started standing up to the hate speech of their fringe elements, the fringe elements would start to die off..
