Malkin Calls Right-Wing Tea Party Movement A ‘Counter-Insurgency’
Malkin Calls Right-Wing Tea Party Movement A ‘Counter-Insurgency’
This morning, right-wing blogger Michelle Malkin joined the ABC roundtable on This Week with George Stephanopoulos. Asked what the conservative opposition strategy is going to be this coming month while Congress is in recess, Malkin said there is a growing “tea party movement — these counterinsurgencies amongst taxpayer rights groups” — that is fomenting opposition to Obama’s health care plan.
Malkin claimed the Obama administration has “vastly underestimated just how grassroots this movement is.” Lawmakers are going to face “townhalls-gone-wild,” she added. Watch it:
The term “counter-insurgencies” does reveal the mentality of conservatives in opposition to Obama. Like Bill Kristol has said, the right wing is bluntly stating that it is going “for the kill.” Malkin has previously declare her hope that Obama fails.
As ThinkProgress has documented, these tea parties may indeed be “counter-insurgencies,” but they are hardly “grassroots” movements. Corporate lobbyists — led by Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks and Tim Phillips’ Americans for Prosperity organizations — have staffed and funded these gatherings. (They are doing so again.) The Fox News network, including Malkin’s frequent appearances, has taken the lead in publicizing and promoting the events among its right-wing base.
The tea-partiers have already proved that they can create a “townhalls-gone-wild” effect and are willing to demonstrate the violent qualities of an insurgency. Recently, Republican congressman Mike Castle (R-DE) faced down angry right activists who hijacked a townhall gathering by spouting crazy conspiracy theories. Right-wing protesters surrounded Rep. Tim Bishop (D) in New York and forced police officers to have to escort him to his car for safety. And anti-health care protesters hung an effigy of Rep. Frank Kratovil (D) in Maryland.

Malkin is so loathsome that I couldn’t watch her. She is too crazy for words….where was she and her fellow teapartyer’s when Bush/Cheney were spending like drunks?
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:02 pmSeems to be a leaderless counter-insugancy. They just follow anyone who says Obama bad.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:06 pmJeezus effin Christ, why is Michelle Malkin on “This Week”?
When was the last time any of these shows had a guest who was as far left as she is far right, let alone one who was as unhinged and deranged?
way to go, “librul media”.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:07 pmThese people are dangerous traitors to the United States of America. Why are they being given air time to spout their seditious twaddle?
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:08 pmMalkin is very rueful and ornery. I can’t watch her, she is a complete nut and cretin.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:08 pmMichelle Mentalcase
This is the type example that the GOP keeps propping up for others to try and emulate ?
No wonder those who identify themselves as being Republican keeps dwindling ………….
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:10 pmWait… since the Right isn’t in power…wouldn’t THEY be the insurgency? And Obama and “LIEberal MSM Media” be the counter-insurgency? It’s why have trouble talking to these people in real life, they can’t even get the meaning of words right.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:13 pmThis morning, right-wing blogger Michelle Malkin joined the ABC roundtable on This Week with George Stephanopoulos
– - The right wing no longer has many reasonable or sensible spokespeople so the Sunday morning talk shows are reduced to scraping the dregs of the lunatic fringe Right, hence Michelle Malkin.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:14 pmMalkin was relatively quiet during the Cheney years but has re-upped with President Obama. Actually, she and the entire bunch oh hate-mongering talkers should thank him for giving them such full employment. Unfortunately, a progressive America is these folks’ best friend.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:15 pmGee I guess she misses Ferdinand Marcos! By the way where the hell is her birth certificate?
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:17 pmWhile I find Michelle Malkin offensive in the extreme and cringe at whatever legitimacy being on “This Week” will give the wingnuts favorite anchor baby I do hope that the groups who support healthcare reform are paying attention and will have robust counter demonstrations and local citizens asking questions wherever the teabaggers may show up.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:18 pmIt’s a great point. They choose words on the right not for what they strictly mean, but for the emotional resonance they carry. That’s why they are desperately trying to convince people that “fascism” is actually a liberal ideology — because they know it carries negative connotations. they don’t really care what defines fascism; they just know it’s bad, so it must be leftist.
“Counter-insurgency” implies a reaction to a movement. Thus, they see themselves as simply countering a (presumably illegitimate) “insurgency” that threatens their precious bodily fluids. It gives them some form of moral comfort, the belief that everything would be fine if the leftists hadn’t mounted their “insurgency” by electing, y’know… a black man.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:19 pmI always enjoy George’s “Sunday Funnies” segment. This morning, the “Sunday Funnies” began during the panel discussion with the addition of Shelley (The Merkin) Malkin. Indeed, it was funny to see her virtually ignored and discounted by everyone else around the table. George would politely ask her for her opinion on a topic; she would spew out her usual talking-point drivel; and then the adults in the room would resume their conversation as if she weren’t even there.
Actually, although an earlier poster derided her presence on George’s show this morning, I think this is a brilliant, subtle move to undermine the right-wingers and expose their utter uselessness. It was starkly clear that Little Shelley is totally clueless and purely negative in her thinking. She doesn’t have an original idea of her own and, yet, she is held up as an A-list conservative pundit.
I would like to see George extend this strategy in future weeks. Personally, I think it would be hilarious to have Bailin’ Failin’ Palin, Little Seanie Vanity, John (”Got Milk?”} Bolton sitting in the Malkin chair.

August 2nd, 2009 at 12:22 pm— Well I suppose as long as there are boobies involved…
When I tuned into this week with gs and the first thing I saw MM’s face I thought I must still be asleep. After a few minutes I realized I was awake but had been transported to an alternate universe…..HELP MISTER WIZARD…….

August 2nd, 2009 at 12:25 pmThe counter-insurgency is merely an illusion of opposition. Now that the disruption tactics have been exposed, the tea baggers and fake protesters lose credibility. It will be unpleasant when these people are arrested and face criminal charges for disorderly conduct. The protests will be traced back to the astroturfing organizations and I would hope they become the target of an ambitious State’s Attorney or US Attorney. This tactic has already been publicly exposed so these organizations will have to back off. The US Attorney General will direct the US Attorneys to begin investigations. When the group is a target of an FBI and grand jury investigation, they will have to disentangle themselves from the fringe groups.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:27 pmAll hail Anchor Baby Malkin, Queen of the Teabaggers, Duchess of Apologia, and Most High Eminence of Acerebralists!
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:28 pmThe Republic Fascist Party of ignorant cretins, bigots, racists and just general scum-bags are sure easy to pickout now that they are out of the closet.
Teabagger = Sourgrapes, sour loser, racists
They sure aren’t the brightest blubs in the drawer.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:28 pmJust shut up malkin, your useless just like your buddy`s hannity,limpdick,beck,and orielly are.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:31 pmThe biggest mistake television news has made is in giving credence to the idea that “you have to present both sides of the story”, as if the objective truth lies somewhere in the middle of what we hear from liberals and conservatives. That is flat out wrong. It is easily demonstrable that the right wing (particularly opinionists like Malkin) does not use the truth to make its case, so why should their opinion matter to those interested in the facts?
In general, when does the left find itself in agreement with the right? When the right bases its opinion on the truth, and not some crazy, unworkabale, un-American ideology.
Michelle Malkin does not belong on any television program intended to present itself as News.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:31 pmi didn’t watch it all, but i did notice that malkin was not exactly given free reign there… she got some fact checking…
i was especially glad, when she said, “but there was no racial profiling” (gates-crowley), al hunt said “we don’t know that”, shutting her down…
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:34 pmMalkin claimed the Obama administration has “vastly underestimated just how grassroots this movement is.”
Except, Michelle, they are not really “grassroots” movements if they are being organized by K-Street lobbyists.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:35 pmLOL, MM was totally ignored by the other panelists at the round table. She must have gotten on because she has a new “comic book” out, which was also virtually ignored. She looked and acted totally stupid on the panel. If anyone noticed her body language, she was stiff as a board in her chair, I’m sure she knew what the others were thinking.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:35 pmWait… since the Right isn’t in power…wouldn’t THEY be the insurgency? And Obama and “LIEberal MSM Media” be the counter-insurgency? It’s why have trouble talking to these people in real life, they can’t even get the meaning of words right.
Remember, from the Winger point of view, there is no legitimate opposition, so Obama’s victory is an insurgency, or coup-de-etat, if they dared to speak French. They are trying to take back America from evil-doers, which is why they feel no need to be polite, tolerant, etc., or even to tell the truth in public.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:42 pmWho the HELL in their right mind @ ABC thought that putting Michelle Malkin on a political panel was a GOOD IDEA?
Maybe she brought some of her nasty Photoshop collection of Michelle Obama or Barack Obama as a communist or a nazi?
How is it that the MSM mainstreams these right-wing loonies?

yes! i wasn’t sure, and didn’t want to be so hopeful,
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:54 pmbut i saw that too! good deal!
Actually the one point Malkin made was that extending unemployment would encourage the “slackers” to not look for work. The other woman told her that may be true if there were jobs to go to but there aren’t. And the guys mentioned that every time there is a job notice the employer is swamped with applicants. I just hope the unemployed heard Malkin imply they’d rather do nothing. Those people should start an insurgency against this maniac for insulting them all.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:55 pmOh to be a fly on the wall to see how they treated her when the cameras weren’t on them. I hope they acted less professionally then.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:56 pmMalkin claimed the Obama administration has “vastly underestimated just how grassroots this movement is.”
Leqave it to a city-mouse to believe astro-turf has ‘roots.’
I always thought Malkin missed her calling. A mouth that big, she coulda serviced the whole fleet in a couple of days…
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:01 pmWait, weren’t they referring to themselves as “insurgents” just a few short months ago?
So which is it? Are you the insurgents or the counter-insurgents? Or does that fact that you claim both simply indicative of the leaderless circular firing squad clusterfcuk that is today’s GNOP, aka the White Wing.
PEACE
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:06 pmLet’s get something clear: the “tea party” movement has become grassroots, especially since the GOP tried to make it their own idea.
The first set of parties WAS astro-turf. Fox covered it, and the GOPs attended. The second group, however, was not, as it is clear these branded parties are NOT what the GOP wish to be identified with. Perhaps it had to do with the fact they were done on July 4th, but this is a fringe rebellion and not one the GOP is aligning itself with.
I do hope that Malkin seizes leadership in these parties. Especially since she’s the looniest of them all.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:12 pmYes, it was the illustrious Pete Session (R-TX) that called for a Taliban-like insurgency back in early February.
The Dallas Morning News has the report here.
PEACE
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:15 pmFirst NBC now ABC. Major networks jump the shark. Pathetic but not surprising.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:18 pmI thought it was pretty idiotic when she brought up the unemployment extension argument and when shot down her only retort was a childish “it came from a Clinton administration official…” as if that should somehow quiet the George and the roundtable. If you applied the same logic to the health care debate, one would think that it would be appropriate to deny health care to people because in doing so, that would be more motivated to stay healthy.
I most certainly hope that the rest of the world watching was able to see the intellectual lightweight being sent back to the kids table. However, it is also funny to see the left in a position to actually plead for George Will to be brought back on the air.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:20 pmWas the homeless person covered in urine ranting conspiracy theories out front unavailable, so they had to go with the even crazier Malkin???
Seriously, Michelle Malkin on This Week, a poster child for what is wrong with the media.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:22 pmMy guess is that they were getting negative feedback from their focus groups on “insurgents” so they decided to call the other guys “insurgents” and themselves the “counter-insurgents”.
But that’s just a guess.

This rant is wingnuttery at it’s highest form. Even the I used to be a democrat. Now that one swayed me. You morons and your teaparties were screaming tax cuts a week after Obama gave 95% of taxpayers a tax cut. The screaming and ranting was so loud none of you hateful bigots realized it. Who is your leader? Rush Limpkins? Where were your concerns about tyranny when the last administion, Bush Crime Family was screwing the pooch? You guys, your leaders,and your teaparties are treasonous and pathetic. Go back to redstate.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:42 pmMy guess is 2012 will be an eye opener for you-most American support the Constitution which obama & his cronies are attempting to destroy. But please keep considering it is just a few right wing nuts.
Says the loser who babbles such insanity and still supports Bush. I love trash like you talking about supporting our military, yet you supported Bush’s war in Iraq that killed 4,500 American soldiers and maimed tens of thousands. I think they all say you can take your “support” and shove it up your ass.
and the teabag movement is grass roots? If that means you get your marching orders from News Corp, OK that’s grass roots.
Was obama really elected? Who knows, with the way votes by ACORN were done that is becoming more questionable every day that more information comes out.
Acorn registers voters moron, there is NOT ONE example of any actual votes being illegal due to ACORN
MY country
Lastly, you pig, you and your ilk destrotyed MY country, so go fuk yourself and read the House of Saud about the Bush’s family and their relationship with the saudis for decades.
You DISGUST ME
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:44 pmI started to Ralph, but she lost me at the part about Obama not being “raised” american. I’d recommend ignoring this one. Just the incoherent ramblings of a nut is how I read it.

The post is rambling and illiterate so my guess is it came from redstate. It’s also possible that it was submitted somewhere as a parody of all the wingnutteria’s hysteria, but the poster is too moronic to discern parody from reality.

I did, although the fact that “victoria” was never taught about paragraphs made it tricky. I am bemused when Righties suddenly express concern about the Constitution–the same people silent as the tomb during the Bush/Cheney efforts to gut it completely.
A couple of years ago I expressed the opinion that Barack Obama could not be elected because this country wasn’t ready for a Black president. I got it partly right. He was elected, but this country still isn’t ready for a Black president. Racism runs too deeply here.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:52 pmDoes anyone really believe victoria used to be a Democrat? Somehow, I’m not buying it.
Do these fools get some sort of template to use when making these stupid comments? So many of them are strikingly similar.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:52 pmIt’s possible, Zoo. Maybe she was a Democrat in South Carolina in 1960. You now… like Strom Thurmond.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:58 pmSorry… should be “you KNOW”, not “you now”.
Dammit.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:58 pmI noticed that too Zooey. But then, you have to engage your brain to have an original thought.

It will cease to exist after one more Vote Down. What’s the sound of a rant if there is no one around to hear it?
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:05 pmThe other side has gotten so desperate that it’s not enough to say, I’m a libertarian…or I’m an independent…I used to be a Democrat, is that the new thing now?
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:05 pmCounter-insurgencies or not grassroots movement or not the right wing has effectively taken the spot light to relay their blatant lies to the people of America and they seem to be buying the crap. What is surprising is the inability and lack of strategy of the democratic party to portray their message as effectively as the republican portrayal of their lies. Every issue proposed by the democratic party to forward their agendas after resoundingly winning the elections has been met with a forceful rebuttal by the opposition party. The lack of the people to give their elected officials to run the government by supporting the constant barrage of lies promulgated by the likes of Michelle Malkin, Bill Crystal and their likes is astounding.

I don’t think Michelle Malkin stated the RNC position correctly. The counterinsurgency is fomenting opposition to that ‘Blackman” in the Whitehouse, regardless of any policy!
The tea party movement reminds of a bunch of little kids sitting at their tea party pouting about their losses.

The Huffington Post is reporting that 1.2 million Americans will exhaust their unemployment benefits by the end of the year.
It should be noted that Ms. Malkin also said that unemployed people are, in effect, waiting at home to receive their checks rather than going out looking for work. The other panelists were quick enough to refute her statement for the stupidity and mean-spiritedness that it reflected.
But it is a quote that should be replayed in ads and news show around the country– so that folks on “Main Street” who have lost their jobs in the recession know exactly what right-wing pundits like Malkin think of them.
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:27 pmFixed.
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:35 pmnan4tjn, the soldiers are returning for tour after tour because of their dedication to their fellow soldiers and their country. They are following their orders because they are good soldiers and it is their duty. They went into the war in Iraq because they were sent there by their Commander in Chief.
But don’t fool yourself that most soldiers in Iraq believe that they were sent there based on the truth. Most members of the military know the entire nation was lied into an illegal, immoral war, including those at the highest levels of military command.
Now scurry along, little troll.

Our Soldiers re-enlisted in record numbers to continue the fight in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I do have to wonder about this statement. How much of this is due to allegiance? I have never served in the military, so I am unsure about how enlistment and deployment works, but I wonder how many returned to the ranks out of allegiance to the cause or out of need. How many soldiers have returned to Iraq and Afghanistan due to the economy?
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:40 pmnan & victoria = dumb & dumber. They remind me of Sarah Palin. They couldn’t read the facts about anything even if they had them on a sheet of paper right before their eyes.
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:41 pmIt takes a whole lot of crazy to believe some of the things they believe. It reminds me of a word that we used to use when I was growing up to describe people who were off their rocker. We called them starnator fools, meaning no amount of help can do anything for them so they need to be institutionalized to protect the safety of the rest of us.
I could prove to Malkin how much appreciation she would get for carrying the right’s slop jars.
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:46 pmLet her run for president in the Republican Party and watch the base go nuts.
Michelle, dear, listen, Michelle, over here – your undivided attention is required.
Michelle, you are revolting. In every sense ot the word.
Guess what. You do not have a counterinsurgency going. In order to have a counterinsurgency, you first have to have an insurgency.
The Democratic Party won an election, Michelle, they did not start an insurgency. You and all your rePublicrite, birther, racist cronies, on the other hand, are doing your damnedest to pull down anything Barack Obama and the Democrats are try to accomplish. I.e., you are trying to create an insurgency; you would be well advised to use some caution. You might get what you’re asking for – a real insurgency. And then you might get a real counterinsurgency right in your face courtesy of the US government.
This is slightly off topic, but what the hell is a “woman of color”, to use an old PC term, doing going all Timothy McVeigh on her fellow citizens? Is Michelle Malkin crazy or is she just following in the footsteps of mAnn? (a different crazy; opportunistic, suck-up-to-the-rePubs crazy).

Certainly not the rePublicrites.
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:01 pmMost everyone here rightfully calls Michelle Malkin a nutcase and seriously in need of a well secured rubber room. Of that, there is no doubt.
What I find utterly fascinating is that in an age where the Christian right GOP seems so very comfortable with the language of overt racism from the likes of Rush, (Mr. Bouncy Bouncy), Beck, O’Reilly, Sen. Blunt, Sen. Sessions, Sen Lyle and so many other of its GOP leaders, they ALSO seem equally comfortable with the language of overt terrorism like the Taliban to promote their hideous agenda.
It appears that the full depth of GOP depravity and hypocrisy has yet to be reached.

August 2nd, 2009 at 3:09 pm“Americans believe in self-sufficiency…”
…when they’re in high school.
Yep, they put ‘I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul” under their yearbook pictures.
Are you a subsistence farmer? Then you’re a bit on your way to self-sufficiency.
Beyond that, you rely nearly totally on people deciding to give you a job, giving you services for a reasonable price.
Your average rightie viewsa job as their right. There’s no dependency there! I’ve EARNED my money. It’s a natural and inevitable result of being a superior entity.
Work for a while as a freelancer and see how ‘absolute’ earning money. Work on a large project where the client dicks you around for months on payment, or simply goes under–and you not only learn how contingent ‘earning’ is, you learn a lot about self-sufficiency–like how it doesn’t exist. Run a small business and you’ll realize how dependent you are on everybody else. Nobody has to order your stuff, nobody has to use your services. The money you get is a vast series of co-operations with other people.
More often thsn not the wingnut either has worked for big corporations all their life–of Mommy and Daddy are still paying for everything. They’re able to act as if the job they’ve got is a theological given, an outward proof of their inward virtue, They’re self-sufficient–because somebody has decided to pay them for their work. Because they get paid, they’re the master of their fate, captain of their souls, and don’t need anybody in the whole world!

After opening up your voted-down comment and reading through what you had to say, I am still trying to figure out if you are demented or just seriously misinformed. Much of what you had to say is not grounded in reality, but rather right-wing ideology and opinion (which, it can easily be proved, is not grounded in reality). I would say it is you who needs to learn facts. Have a nice life.
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:21 pmI wonder if victoria bothered to stick around even to see if her comment got dumped like they do at redstate, or if she just took her dump and scurried back to her right-wing buddies to chortle about how she told all them libruls.

Yeah, how dare the FDA try to make sure our food supply is safe? Those bastards!
Here’s a link to the summary of HR 2749, in case anyone is wondering about just how disgusting and wrong it is to have a safe and clean food supply.

MM decided to market herself a “token rightie ethnic”, to get a niche under (way under) the big boys; Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh…. the highly paid bomb lobbers for big money psycho-conservatism.
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:00 pmOf course so-called MSM wants some entertainment; disgusting when you realize these idiots are screwing the country by fomenting crazy.
well i’m impressed…
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:00 pmukeman got in the way there…
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:01 pm“AND 4000 DEAD SOLDIERS that DIDN’T NEED TO DIE for the LIE in Iraq.” a hell of a lot more have died on our roads!
. . . And if 4000 people died on our roads for a lie you told, which could happen if you were a politician or a corrupt construction company, we’d have you up on murder charges. Ponder that.
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:01 pmIf they are using the language of insurgency and counterinsurgency, are not they inflaming the Timothy McVeighs out there ?
And if they are a counterinsurgency against the rightfully elected govt of the USA, are not they guilty of a few crimes ?
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:03 pmukeman 123, I agree but it very much a Neoconservative, Corporatist, Statist agenda MM is promoting. I have yet to hear any comment that is truly conservative and/or liberal spewed from her mouth. She is basically reading a script.
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:04 pmBecause she is a token ethnic, she can only garner crumbs off the floor of the table of the big fat crazies like Hannity Limb Beck.
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:08 pmShe couldnt get near the Republican convention stage; she’d be shut out.
They already have M Steele.
The first round of Teabagging was a flop, despite Fox’s attempts to portray as the next big thing in Wingnuttia. The second round was almost exclusively racists xenophobes spewing to tiny audiences, and even Fox barely took notice (comparatively). So as a “counter-insurgency,” this has all the credibility of a Michelle Malkin article …
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:24 pmExtending unemployment benefits reduces the incentive for people to find jobs sounds to me like boilerplate conservative thinking.
But you keep on with your “No True Scotsman” fallacy. It’s quite amusing. And BTW, even if you DID ” help contribute to this article”, if it was published elsewhere and you failed to attribute its source, you’re still plagiarizing.

It must suck to be as stupid as you. Do you know how many times I have read that same post virtually phrase for phrase from brainwashed morons like you? It is as boring as you are stupid.

Take some Haldol or something so you at least lose the delusion that you are original or that you are saying anything that any sane person would take seriously.

That may possibly have been the stupidest thing ever said in the English language. Go looking for your soul. It obviously left your putrid being long ago not being able to stand the stench.

By the way you imbecile. A lot of soldiers re-enlisted because they had a stop loss program. So when it was time for them to go home they were flown to Germany and told they were BEING stoplossed and were going back to Iraq no matter what either they resigned for a bonus or they would be sent back WITHOUT it. Either way they were going back to Iraq. I am sure a soldier hater like you supports that

Not that I believe that this will be posted with all the liberal nuts jobs here but will write it anyway……(lots of crap deleted) My guess is 2012 will be an eye opener for you-most American support the Constitution which obama & his cronies are attempting to destroy.
The people who are responsible for subverting the Constitution were Nixon and George w. Bush, both of whom were Republicans. They wilfully ignored the Constitution and treated their position as akin to a monarchy not subject to any laws. Nixon was impeached and had the Congress known about all of the Bush secrets, he would have been impeached. The only people who are trying to destroy the country are the Republicans who have adopted a slash and burn political strategy. They are knee jerk reactionaries who are opposed to anything the Dems propose. The Republicans have abased themselves with questionable morals, political views and association with the radical fringe. The party is heading further right much like they did in 1964. That means that the moderate Republicans will distance themselves from the party rather than sign on to support people and positions they disdain. You better get used to Obama being your president because he will be around for a long time and will be reelected in 2012. And this is all courtesy of the Republican party who made it possible for a black man to get elected.

August 3rd, 2009 at 12:31 amTurn back the clock to November 2000 and the location to Miami. There a goon squad of paid Republican staffers stormed an election location turning the fear of violence into forcing it to be shut down. After that, SCOTUS took over with a legal goon squad. The motto is whatever it takes to win.
Stirring people into violent action like this is something that the public will take out on the Republicans. Especially when it is shown that the ringleaders were paid Republican staffers, as happened in Miami.

it’s the greed imho…these people want to be in the millionaire bracket someday and those already on top foster the American dream and dangle it in front of these sheep.

August 3rd, 2009 at 1:31 amThere were three bonafide journalists in Hunt, Tucker, and Seib – who write for real publications – together with one loony, half-witted blogger. Which of these does not belong?
First Malkin’s on the Today Show, now This Week. What’s next a regular column in the Economist?! Wake up mainstream media! This woman is not an authority on anything. She has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Please, leave her, Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly and the rest of the dingbats in their cage over at Fox News. Keep them contained!
August 3rd, 2009 at 1:47 amIf Wikipedia ever has an entry for ‘devoid of moral compass,’ Ms. Malkin can function as the first example. Aren’t there laws against inciting riots?
August 3rd, 2009 at 3:34 amI guess it is alright with “former Democrat” Victoria for a US President to hold hands with and kiss the Saudi king, as Bush has been seen doing on several videotaped news reports.
Victoria complains:

It’s hardly breaking news, dumbass. I saw it on some loony Taitz site over 12 hours ago. So now it’s up to you birthers to prove it’s not a forgery, just as you claim about the Hawaiian Obama birth certificate.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:50 amWow; according to Malkin, the ‘opposition’ strategy is to continue to misinform their shrinking base of mindless morons to follow any pathetic attempt to discredit the President by waving guns and the flag around the concepts of big government like ’socaialized’ health care and fiscal restraint during a massive recession?
And the Right wonders why people rejected them? ABC should be ashamed they allowed this misguided cretin anywhere near their news program; she was horribly out of her depth.
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:38 amYesterday while in the grocery store in my small Pa. town I overheard a conversation that included the words taxes and revolution in quick succession. While not the type to interlope a conversation, I made the statement “You are a f**k’n teabagger”, to which the reply was “No, I’m a conservative”. When I asked what Fox News show he heard some of his inane rantings from, he replied that he had read about it. When I asked WHERE he had read IT, I received the same response that has been typical,and that is no response at all. I am by no means a literal giant but can at least give several sources when I am asked where I read something. My point is this, from now on I am going to make these goats (not smart enough to be sheep) to give an account of WHERE they are getting their information. This little ploy shuts them up every time and has them looking to see if their shoes are tied when they see you in a public setting. Confront these loudmouth ignorant bastards and they will back down every time.
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:08 amThere is a terrific piece on Crooks&Liars where Bill Maher comments on Malkin’s book. http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/real-time-bill-maher-mocks-malkin-her-new
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:17 amBased on the time line, Malkin would have had to write her book in the first 2 months of Obama’s presidency. She is a complete loon. Enjoy the link.
Alecto, the local Liberal Party on Long Island gathered up the names of over 700 citizens in Bishop’s district in Suffolk County. The petition was pleading with Mr. Bishop to support the effort to repeal the Patriot Act.
Mr. Bishop’s office formally announced to us that he was in favor of the Patriot Act and would not vote for any house resolution repealing it.
Many fine people in the house were duped into signing the first Patriot Act. They didn’t get a chance to read it, it is a long document and a tragic event had just happened. After reading the Act, and seeing how heinous and unPatriotic it truly is, only the good men and women in the house cried out to repeal this Act.
You know not of what you speak concerning Mr. Bishop’s politics. He also was in favor of the Bush bailouts.
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:50 amEugene Debs,
The article was a joint effort by no fewer than 9 people. We give permission to anyone who wants to use it as long as they don’t make any changes. Nonetheless, even if someone posted it here who did not write it, what is the point you are trying to make?
Truth is truth. Zooey has adopted a political stance of our agricultural system right out of the Mussolini/Hitler playbook, yet likes to call himself a Liberal.
This George Soros funded website is clearly not a place of the interchange of ideas. It is not a place where liberals discuss issues and inform each other. It is a place of mud slinging and insults. This web site is the mouthpiece of the Democratic Party. Blindly following any party is a sort of extremism that ushered in Communist Russia and China and National Socialist Italy and Germany.
I don’t believe the foul-mouthed writers here would know what to do on issues where Democrats disagreed. It seems they have lost the ability to discern and are only capable of following the party, even when said party flips 180 degrees on a political position.
The other interesting thing here is voting down someone. Share your opinion here as long as it matches mine!!!
There’s no room for free thought. We must follow the party line.
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:01 amAlecto, you used many nasty adjectives in front of George W. Bush’s name and I can’t say that I don’t understand your animosity towards him. He did many unfathomable acts of tyranny while in office. George W. is most certainly treasonous. So what about the Democrats in Congress who voted for it? Do they get called the same adjectives by you? Or are they OK guys anyway?
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:26 amDisgusting that this woman is given a voice on air –
Has anyone ever heard her comment on any topic other than HATE?
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:42 amWe are going to make life hell for all congressmen and senators every single day until they relent under our pressure! We learned from the left…and will now take it to a new level!
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:43 amWayne A. Scheider,
Thank you for disagreeing with me in an intelligent, respectful and polite fashion. You are a gentleman, unlike others who write here. We have looked into the underlying principles concerning this house resolution. Believe me, Monsanto doesn’t spend millions of dollars lobbying for stuff like this for the benefit of mankind.
The agenda of CODEX, GMO foods and government interference with small farming is a problem. You may change your mind if you speak with the lawyers representing the small farming community and speaking to organic farmers directly.
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:48 amIs Ralph The Wonder Llama a Monty Python reference?
I agree 99% with TrueLiberty. Coming from a big farming state and understanding what the likes of Monsanto has done to this country, you can not take these HRs too lightly.
But I wouldn’t call zooey a fascist just because he agrees with a single piece of fascist agenda. I also do not believe that the terms Conservative, Liberal are definitive enough. Liberalism and Conservatism pre ’50s is radically different from today’s definition.
I voted TrueLiberty up because he is sharing information that is valid.
August 3rd, 2009 at 11:28 amI don’t get this whole teabagger crap. A grassroots bipartisan effort that has as many Libertarians as Republicans is suddenly co-opted by the stinking Neocons?
They can’t even come up with their own original ideas. The media trying to portray this as a Republican “thang”, is way off base. I witnessed many college kids from the local university who are very vocal Democrats attend one of these outings.
August 3rd, 2009 at 11:34 amI don’t know how you guys started talking about a farming bill, but I wouldn’t let Zooey, Wonder Llama, Eugene Debs get under your skin. They gotta be right wing plants to make liberals look biased, crude and ignorant.
August 3rd, 2009 at 11:49 amI can relate liblinebacker. I know as many pissed off Democrat types as i do Republicans when it comes to the Bush variety of bailouts and Obama’s round 2 of unconstitutional bailouts.
Do people really think only Republicans are pissed off at our deficit spending? I am a hardcore Democrat and I am very pissed off.
The point TrueLiberty makes about following the party line is so very true.
If you agree with either of the following sentences:
All Democrats are good, all Republicans are bad OR All Republicans are good, all Democrats are bad
You are totally mind-controlled and delusional, if you buy into this philosophy you will never be able to think rationally about the problems facing this nation
August 3rd, 2009 at 11:57 amSo if you were 1 of 9 individuals who wrote an article, you can’t post it in a stupid blogroom like this because it is plagiarism? The lack of logic here is staggering
Get real Debs and others…almost all the comments I see you writing are not original ideas, just recycled ideas spoon fed to you by the corporate controlled media
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:02 pmI’m trying to read this blog for the first time and the hate that I’m reading is getting boring. Where’s this inclusion and transparency I hear so much about from the left. I have two things to say; keep convincing yourselves that the “so-called” grass roots opposition is anything but…at your own peril. Secondly, I cannot read a blog that “voted down” an entry they don’t agree with, as they’ll probably “vote-down” this won.
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:22 pmI am really at a loss for words as to why ABC News decided it was time to have one of these Right-wing lunatics on as part of their “round table” of so-called journalists on their Sunday morning program? I then remember that George Stephanopoulos’ show is just as good a show as any on Fox News to highlight Ms. Malkin given his one foot into the “fringe-group” association that he was in when he and his network did an ambush job on candidate Obama in what was supposed to be a debate against Hillary Clinton. I still don’t however understand the reasoning behind having Malkin on this show in the first place on Sunday morning? Was it to attempt to legitimize this crazy, or was it an attempt to berate her logic, if any? At any rate what she offered to the show and how many of the viewers that were left after she opened her mouth was not helpful…at either eductaing the public or even ratings.
August 3rd, 2009 at 1:50 pmEugeneDebs you really are a nasty person!
There is no debate here at all just nasty name calling.
August 3rd, 2009 at 5:32 pmMy post about record numbers of military re-enlisting is fact, they are not being forced to re-enlist they are doing it because they are fighting a just cause. It is a GREAT thing that Saddam is out of power millions of Iraqi people are now free, the Kurds don’t have to be afraid didn’t you see the mass graves?
The reason we are in Iraq is because of WMD’s the UN passed 17 resolutions (broke every one how many chances do we give him?) Terrorists were training in Iraq too.
You people really make me sick you don’t think! Saddam used WMD’s bio. and chem. weapons on his own people! He had them and wouldn’t let anyone see that he got rid of them.
I pray for you people so filled with hate.
August 3rd, 2009 at 5:33 pmForgot the website about the re-enlistments
Jacktheliberal you are SO right!
I don’t care if Republican or Democrat I hate the out of control spending on both sides!
The price of EVERYTHING is going up up up while people are losing their jobs and homes. I don’t know who got a tax cut but my family surely didn’t and we are lower middle class. My husband works his behind off, and supports our family 2 kids and my mom. He has worked very hard for what we have but may end up losing it because he may not have a job next week.
Bailouts aren’t the answer Reagan and Clinton had it right lower taxes means more jobs.
A point about the farmers, read this! It’s Pure Insanity!
