What Does Michele Bachmann's Grasp Of History Mean For The Children?


I believe the evidence is clear that Bachmann, Gingrich, Huckabee, Barbour and the right-wing in general, are deliberate­ly rewriting history because they know that lies work and create what psychologi­st Elizabeth Loftus calls "false memories" and the "misinform­ation effect."
