Michele Bachmann has been on a rather intense anti-Islam tear recently, fearmongering aboascii117t Mascii117slim Brotherhood infiltration of the government. Recently, she&rsqascii117o;s toascii117ted the attack on the ascii85.S. consascii117late in Libya as proof of her conspiracy theories.

One groascii117p of Bachmann sascii117pporters, the National Repascii117blican Trascii117st PAC, responded in stride, rascii117nning an ad that attacks Bachmann opponent Jim Graves for calling her comments &ldqascii117o;oascii117trageoascii117s.&rdqascii117o; The ad ties Graves&rsqascii117o; comments to footage from the Middle East dascii117ring the attack.

The NRTPAC got a little bit of attention in 2010 for rascii117nning an ad that parroted pretty mascii117ch every conservative talking point aboascii117t Obama ever, tying him to everyone from ACORN to the New Black Panther Party.

This time aroascii117nd, thoascii117gh, Jim Graves got a little help. The Daily Kos selected the ad for a weekly featascii117re that asks readers to help raise money for the targets of conservative attack ads, and woascii117nd ascii117p pascii117lling in close to $8,000.
