ROGER KIMBALL: CAN ROMNEY STAND UP AND DEFEND MICHELLE BACHMANN? SEE NOTE

Extra! Extra! Romney’s Backbone Discovered!

ROMNEY’S COMMENT:Mitt Romney declined to speak out against Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and four other House Republicans on Friday for seeking to investigate whether Huma Abedin, a top aide to Hillary Clinton, has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.Following a campaign event in Reno, Nev., a reporter asked the presumptive Republican presidential nominee for his reaction to both Bachmann’s allegations against Abedin and a controversy surrounding Chick-Fil-A and gay marriage.“I’m not going to tell other people what things to talk about,” Romney responded. “Those are not things that are part of my campaign.”

Now this is news: an intact spinal column believed to be the property of Willard Mitt Romney has been discovered by anthropologists! As I write, the former governor of Massachusetts and U.S. presidential hopeful is being examined by surgeons and the American electorate to determine whether the missing anatomical structure can be successfully reinserted.

A critical test comes later today when the Muslim Public Affairs Council holds an inquisition, er, “press briefing” to demand that Romney denounce Rep. Michele Bachmann for telling the truth about members of the Muslim Brotherhood exerting influence at the highest ranks of the U.S. government.

Exhibit A in Rep. Bachmann’s brief is Huma Abedin, chief of staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a woman with deep and extensive ties to the Muslim Brotherhood — ties, by the way, that include not only her immediate family (father, brother, mother) but Ms. Abedin herself, who from 1996 to 2008 worked as a editor at the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs. The journal was founded in the 1970s by Abdullah Omar Naseef, head of the Muslim World League, which (as Andy McCarthy explained) is a “Saudi-financed global propagation enterprise by which the Muslim Brotherhood’s virulently anti-Western brand of Islamist ideology is seeded throughout the world, very much including in the United States.”

We are not talking here about some random imam in the dizzying alphabet soup of Islamist entities [McCarthy continues]. In the pantheon of Islamic supremacism, there are few positions more critical than secretary general of the Muslim World League. In fact, one of the MWL’s founders was Sa’id Ramadan, the right-hand and son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, the Brotherhood’s legendary founder.

So let’s give this “Michele-Bachmann-is-a naughty-witch-who’s-been-beastly-to-the-Muslims” meme a rest. MPAC is a noxious front organization not for loyal Americans who happen to be Muslims but for activist Muslims in America who are bent on undermining American institutions in order to promulgate the hideous freedom-blighting and misogynistic ideology of sharia. Here’s a chance for Mitt Romney to stand up for America. Will he do it?
