Well. This is Nice.

Last week I pointed out a 10th-grader who challenged Michelle Bachmann to a debate on civics and the Constitution.  I also had a snappy riff about teenage girls and what they spin the pea to.

Of course, now Bachmann's minions are threatening the girl with violence and rape.
After it started getting media attention last weekend, commenters on tea party websites have threatened to publish her home address and some have threatened violence.

The 16-year-old from Cherry Hill says several commenters have called her a “whore.”

Her father, Wayne, says he’s concerned for his daughter’s safety.
It'd be nice if Bachmann stepped in and made an announcement to call this shit off.  But I somehow doubt she will, in that grand GOP/TP tradition of claiming to not actually be a part of such a thing, but not publicly denouncing it, and being more than happy to benefit from it.  Sweet.

"Hey what am I, the rape police?"
