Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), who has hit the road to speak to all sorts of conservative audiences, will put in an appearance before a very illustrious crowd this fall: A conference organized by the Birther website World Net Daily.

WND’s “Taking America Back” conference will be held in Miami on September 16-18, and will feature such avowed Birther activists as WND head Joseph Farah, perennial candidate Alan Keyes, and author Jerome Corsi. Also on the list are Bachmann, Ann Coulter and former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO).

Bachmann campaign manager Gina Countryman told the Star Tribune that the event is not a Birther conference, and that Bachmann “has absolutely no reason to question the president’s citizenship, as much as her detractors wish was the case.” Countryman explained: “She’s attending so she can share her passion for our nation’s founding and belief in fiscally responsible, limited government with those in attendance.”
