Put aside there are no facts to back this up but this is not very helpful to the situation in Egypt.
Nothing good ever comes when you mention Bachman, King and Gohmert, put them together and this is what you have.
Quote:
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) suggested the Muslim Brotherhood was behind
the 9/11 attacks during a press
conference in Egypt on Saturday.
"We have seen the threat that the Muslim Brotherhood has posed here for the
people in Egypt. We have seen the threat that the Muslim Brotherhood has posed
around the world," Bachmann said. "We stand against this great evil. We are not
for them. We remember who caused 9/11 in America. We remember who it was that
killed 3,000 brave Americans. We have not forgotten.â
Bachmann, accompanied by Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Steve King (R-Iowa), thanked the Egyptian military for the coup and crackdowns against the Muslim Brotherhood, which she called the "common enemy" of Egypt and the U.S. The Washington Post reports the video was apparently taken a few hours after meeting with coup leader General Abdel Fatah el-Sissi in Cairo
Well I would say that i'm suprised, but coming from either of those three, i'm not. Pretty much on par with all the other things those three have said in the past.
Well Obama wanted the Muslim Brotherhood to be the leaders in Egypt but those people threw them out. Now he wants them in the other ME countries, says something.

Obama supported elections in Egypt, but did not endorse the Muslim Brotherhood as his preference to win. If you have a link that shows otherwise, please provide.
It's helpful as it declares support for the military's actions and thus may help strengthen their resolve to refuse to allow Muslim Brotherhood bullying to dictate policy in the nation.
Liberals keep crying that he was democratically elected without bothering to mention that once he was elected he then issued a proclamation exempting his decrees from judicial oversight. Yes, he was democratically elected. But once in office he made himself a dictator.
It doesn't matter whether the Muslim Brotherhood was directly responsible for 9/11 or not. People are absolutely right to thank the Egyptian military from preventing Morsi from establishing Egypt as an Iran style radical Islamist state.

It's not helpful proclaiming that the MB was responsible for 9/11 though, errors like that when dealing with Mid-Eastern countries can quickly blow up in your face. It really doesn't take much to get them going, and Bachman didn't need to throw them a propaganda tool.
What's dumb is just knee-jerk opposing anything that has Bachmann's name attached to it.
People like to slam Republicans for being the party of no, saying they oppose anything associated with Obama even if it is a good idea. But liberals do the same thing. The Muslim Brotherhood stands for sharia law, which is opposed to everything liberals believe in. Liberals should be applauding Bachmann for supporting the separation of church and state. If there were a Christian Brotherhood wanting to establish the ten commandments as the law of the land in America you'd be massively opposed to it. But when someone opposes doing the same thing in Egypt, they're idiots simply because they're Republicans. Liberals will derisively call the Tea Party or Christians the "American Taliban" but at the same time slam conservatives for being Islamophobic.
And if the excuse is that Egypt is another country so we should respect their differences, then explain the mass liberal protests in America over apartheid. South Africa being another nation with its own culture certainly didn't stop liberals from wanting them to change their ways in the 80s. And it was the right thing to do. But it's also the right thing to be opposed to sharia now.
It all comes down to politics. Bush started the war on terror and Bush was a Republican. So being self righteous about being anti-Islamophobia is a way of demonstrating being anti-Republican. And liberals who massively protested apartheid will simply ignore the fact that Islamists are more repressive, violent, and brutal than the worst Afrikaners ever dreamed of by saying "not all Muslims are like that." Well, not all Afrikaners were like that either but that didn't stop the marches or the lobbying for trade embargoes.
