Original Message columnist Dan Savage believes that Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is “a big problem for the Republican Party.”

“They began 20-30 years ago pandering to the religious right,” Savage told MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann on Tuesday. “And the religious right realized that it could just run its own candidates, elect its own people, and put the nuts in charge, and that’s what they’ve done. Michele Bachmann is a religious extremist and a nut.”

Bachmann told a cheering audience on Monday that to stop health care reform, “What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing. This will not pass. We will do whatever it takes to make sure this doesn’t pass.”

“She’s the kind of person who once upon a time the Republicans could count on her vote and her support for saner, more middle-of-the-road Republican candidates who could work with Democrats and weren’t bat-crap crazy,” Savage emphasized. “And now she’s the one who’s in there, and they’re stuck with her and her extremism.”

“I reallly do think that the Michele Bachmanns of this world and the Glenn Becks of this world are actively and consciously — or subconsciously — trying to get — I’m just going to say it — trying to get the president killed,” Savage stated angrily. “That’s why they’re setting this up as kill-or-be-killed arguments. ‘He’s going to kill your grandma.’”

“Somebody’s got to put the brakes on it, and unfortunately in the Republican Party, there are no adults left in the room,” continued Savage. “There are only the Michele Bachmanns and the Glenn Becks and the Rush Limbaughs running the show.”

Olbermann disagreed with Savage to the extent that “I think some of them who oppose [health care reform] are not of that thinkiing … but, unfortunately, a lot of who you’re talking about, you’ve nailed them perfectly.” He then turned the discussion to the ways in which even mainstream Republicans in Congress are attempting to sabotage any possibility of health care reform.

“The Democrats need to call their bluff and go it alone and not be suckered,” Savage suggested in a closing flurry of metaphors. “They need to man up themselves. … The Democrats have to get up off their knees and push it through.”
