Tom Cotton - A Male Michele Bachmann?

I will admit that I cannot help myself when it comes to piling on GOP Senator Tom Cotton.  The man seems hell bent to become the male replacement for the seriously unhindered Michele Bachmann.  Like Bachmann, Cotton seems to revel in his ignorance and willing to say literally anything required in order to thoroughly prostitute himself to the ugliest elements of the GOP base.  A piece in Talking Points Memo looks at Cotton's effort to out crazy Bachmann.   Here are highlights:

Cotton actually has as much in common with the Frank Gaffney/Crazy Town Steve King/Michele Bachmann world. Related yes, but not precisely the same. Here's the lead quote from that MoJo [Mother Jones] article. "Groups like the Islamic State collaborate with drug cartels in Mexico who have clearly shown they're willing to expand outside the drug trade into human trafficking and potentially even terrorism. They could infiltrate our defenseless border and attack us right here in places like Arkansas."  Sound familiar?

Cottonites think the (Barack Hussein) Obama White House is infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood and is bringing down the border fence to facilitate incursions by the Mexican Drug Cartel/Hezbollah/ISIS alliance to launch the decisive attack your local convenience store.
