Click here to view this media And the hits just keep on coming from Michele Bachmann . From Greg Sargent at The Plum Line — Bachmann on why she worked for IRS: “First rule of war is `know your enemy’” : This is fun. Michele Bachmann, on the campaign trail today, offered what seems to be a new explanation for her previous work as a lawyer for the Internal Revenue Service, something that has drawn some ire from the right. Her explanation: She worked for the IRS as a kind of secret anti-tax mole whose mission was to get to know the place in order to better undermine it later. As she put it: “The first rule of war is `know your enemy.’” This explanation seems a bit at odds with descriptions of the episode she’s given on previous occasions, when she’s said her anti-tax fervor was the result of her work for the IRS. This version on the trail explains her work for the IRS — which spanned four years, from 1988-1992 — in a way that will be more acceptable to hard-core anti-tax conservatives. Bachmann, speaking at a rally today in South Carolina, said: “We change the economy by changing the tax code. How many of you love the IRS? No! It’s time to change it. I went to work in that system because the first rule of war is ‘know your enemy.’ So I went to the inside to learn how they work because I wanted to beat them.” Read on… Chris Matthews made this part of his Sideshow segment this Thursday and asked if she was “running for president now to infiltrate the enemy, yet again?”
