Selling the Anti-Bachmann Phone

File Photo
The liberal telephone company Credo Mobile is using other companies’ donations to Rep. Michele Bachmann to lure away their left-leaning customers.

Linking charities to a utilitarian product — like a cellphone — does not typically attract more customers, but a public personality, especially one as repugnant to liberals as Bachmann, could be very effective for Credo, he said.

“They can say, ‘These companies support wackos,’” he said. “There’s nothing in the technology that differs anymore ... so now they are trying to relate to you politically.”
