Give the Koch money back, Michele

Give it back.
Michele Bachmann, like many of us, views Iran as an enemy of the United States. Here's what she has said about that terrorist-exporting country:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has shown himself to be an enemy not only of Israel, but also of the United States. In his repeated statements wishing to see another sovereign nation 'wiped off the map,' he has proven that he is in violation of the United Nations' charter, and of international law. He is, in the most literal sense, an outlaw and he should not be allowed in the United States.
Can we now expect Bachmann to give back campaign donations from the Benedict Arnold  Koch brothers? After all, they aided Iran, an enemy of the United States, by selling it petrochemical equipment, according to today's Bloomberg story.

Bachmann has received quite a lot of money from the Benedict Arnold Koch brothers. According to Mother Jones, they've given her $35,000. So you would think that as a matter of principle she'd return such tainted contributions.

Or will she?
