The Sensuous Michelle Malkin

I'm amused by this:



From Michelle Malkin's Defeatocrats cheer.

BREAKING NEWS: Repubs grasp at straws, Kos may be a hypocrite.

And when I say "BREAKING NEWS" that actually means "the same ol' s**t as always".

First off, the Michelle Malkin's of the world have a huge hard-on (or female equivalent) for Daily Kos and all their related activities. They have a burning desire to find ANYTHING that they can criticize. It's really a mark of insanity if you ask me. Take for example, this years YearlyKos. In a desperate grasp, they focus on a video of a serviceman in uniform, trying to play politics [via American Prospect]:

As the Military and Progressives panel came to an end, a young man in uniform stood up to argue that the surge was working, and cutting down on Iraqi casualties. The moderator largely freaked out. When other members of the panel tried to answer his question, he demanded they “stand down.” He demanded the questioner give his name, the name of his commander, and the name of his unit.

Here's the video. And the geniuses at Little Green Footballs had this to say:

I’m not familiar with the exact regulations on this, but for the sake of argument let’s say that it was against the rules for a uniformed soldier to ask a question.

When did it become the duty of a YearlyKos panel moderator to enforce Army regulations?

So the grasping idiot spoke too soon, because apparently is WAS the moderators duty. Since he's still a Captain in the Reserves, he has the obligation to uphold military regulations... even at the Yearly Kos.

So, now, I await Mr. Kos's response to the whole situation. Because, in order to be consistent, he'll need to call the moderator an "idiot" and "un-American":

So they'll prosecute me if I wear my Army uniforms to an anti-war protest? Really?
[...]

He has every right enshrined under the Constitution, including those of free speech and peaceful assembly.

And anyone that thinks otherwise, quite frankly, is legitimately and objectively un-American.

How much you wanna bet that Kos either doesn't say ANYTHING about the incident, or tries to parse it in a way that justifies his hypocrisy?

HELLO (Hello, hello)! I'm in a echo CHAMBER (Chamber, chamber)

Hey, look at this.... I got my first ever inbound link! I guess this was the guy that made the John Roberts is dead "joke", to which I replied. Sure, I'm relegated to the "lots of little ones" category, but whatever:

The other day, I made a little joke over at Wonkette about John Roberts being dead that raised some ire among some self-righteous conservative folks. They took a break from pretending not to get erect from hate speech long enough to produce pages and pages of Technorati listings. All the big names are there (Malkin, LGF, Althouse) and lots of little ones, in no particular order, after the jump.
[...]
From all of this outrage, you would think I actually took a shot at the guy.

First of all, I wasn't outraged. Yes, there was some fake outrage, but I wear my fake outrage on my sleeve as a badge of honor. The others folks (Malkin,etc) were really, really fake outraged.

Scott Thomas: more crap to keep stupid people's minds occupied

Every now and then, a story comes out that I find boring, silly, and a waste of time. However, since 99% of the political bloggers in the world seem to thrive on this pointless s**t, I read about it.

Now, the "right" is all abuzz about a New Republic writer who just became un-anonymous (if that's even a word). Here's the brief version: He wrote some crap that made the "sheep" on the right pissed of -- they criticized him and called him a liar -- he identified himself -- and now they're still calling him a liar. Yes, the people must have NO lives of their own.

You know, I could post quotes from all the crazy people that are either intentionally missing "Scott Thomas's" point or are just too stupid to understand basic English, but I won't. You can read the silliness from Michelle Malkin, or the Weekly Standard, or the National Review Online. If you haven't fallen asleep yet, you can read OPFOR:

Now we have to go about fact-checking his stories, which I suspect will turn out to have been grandly embellished.

How's that for good ol' American values? "I don't have any facts about the matter, but I'm going to say he's guilty anyway". Yep - these are the people I share a country with.

Here's the truth: The one thing the Left can legitimately hold over the Right's head is the anti-war position. It's now the majority opinion of US citizens, and it's growing daily. But instead of reexamining their wrong-headed beliefs and see the Iraq quagmire for what it is, the Malkin's of this world would rather target insignificant people like "Scott Thomas". On some level, I understand that... because it's not easy accepting that you're wrong. It's a lot easier just shifting your focus onto other things that, in the long run, will have no impact on anything.

update: Andrew Sullivan writes MUCH better than I do on the subject. Why is the British dude smarter than 90% of Americans?:

So far, the hysteria says far more about the hysterics than about TNR.

Pointless Posturing in the Senate

You know what's worse than the idiotic "games" the Democrats are playing in the Senate? The idiots commenting on those games.

For example, from head-idiot Michelle Malkin's blog, we get these pearls of wisdom from "TacitEagle":

Dhimmicrats are BAD for America, BAD on the defense of freedom, and on the WRONG side of the fight for justice for all.

First, notice the mis-spelling of Democrats, done for humorous effect. Republicans are original that way. But let me address the issues raised in the comment: NO they're not, NO they're not, and NO they're not. Actually, it's small-minded morons that are BAD for America. Speaking of... her "PBoilermaker":

For those that think AQ aren’t watching the treasonous MSM and the Dems without getting motivated to just keep it going a bit longer, you are dangerously naive.

Yes, because as we are all aware, they hate us because of our "freedoms". And by the Democrats and main-stream media actually practicing those freedoms, they're only serving to embolden the enemy. I'm guessing that PBoilermaker's solution for all this is to take away ALL of our freedoms, so that Al Qaeda won't hate us anymore. It makes sense when you think about it.

And finally, the idiot to end all idiots "Dersu":

Do these idiots really believe that the way to protect and defend the Constitution is to protect our troops from danger?

I say just the opposite is true, we must send our treasured loved ones to the front
of the fray. How else will our future be assured?

If you were listening to this, I'd be speechless. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like Dersu is saying that the ONLY way to defend the Constitution, is to have our troops get killed. From my reading of the comment, it doesn't matter WHY they're fighting, just as long as they're DYING while doing it.

The problem with these sheep commenting on Malkin's blog, is that they can't seem to comprehend that it's GOING BADLY in Iraq. I personally think that going into Iraq and getting rid of Saddam was a fine idea, but almost immediately Bush started f**king it up... and he hasn't stopped f**king it up. Maybe a full withdrawal isn't the best idea, but what other alternatives are there? Continue to let Bush keep f**king it up? Let it just coast until January 2009, so the next President can deal with it? That seems pretty heartless to me.
