Almost half a million raised for Elwyn Tinklenberg since Michele Bachman went all Joe McCarthy on Hardball yesterday, suggesting the media should investigate members of Congress to determine if they hold anti-American views. (Tinklenberg made the DCCC’s Red to Blue list earlier this month.)

Bachmann was having a grand old time, yucking it up on Hardball and saying it’s "fun" to have a sense of humor right now.

Wonder if she’s still laughing?

Update:  The DCCC is now going up on the air in Bachmann’s district.  Talk about walking into the crosshairs.
