Michelle Malkin: “Haha, I’m so glad my readers are retarded!”
Not an exact quote, mind you, but it’s the overarching theme of everything the woman writes. Michelle Malkin, remember, is the Japanese-American Filipino-American wingnut who thinks that Japanese internment during WWII was actually a totally awesome thing.
Today she’s going after Obama for being “hypocritical” about gas-guzzling cars. The “point” she makes is that Obama used to drive a Chrysler 300C, but then he traded it for a Ford Escape hybrid, and when liberals do that, it’s only because they’ve been “exposed,” as opposed to when conservatives buy fuel-efficient vehicles, because they’re the ones who actually “care about the environment.” THEN she lambasts Obama for riding around in gas-guzzling SUVs on the trail, apparently either ignorant herself (likely) or expecting her readers to be ignorant (likely, likelier, likeliest!) of this fact, as Bob Cesca sensibly points out:
[T]he Secret Service requires special armored cars to protect against assassination attempts. What she also doesn’t mention is that people like Senator Obama and Al Gore purchase carbon offsets to make up for the pollution they create due to the hazards of their occupations.
Oh, so you mean Michelle Malkin is a lying fuck who’s wasting bandwidth with her typing and her poor attitude?
Yes, we mean that.
The utter contempt that right-wing pundits have for their readers is just stunning…

almost as stunning as their readers’ devout loyalty and willingness to defend these people. bullet from a gun dude…

once you’ve sold out to that mindset, there’s little room for reason. the people who read Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Jonah Goldberg, Bill Kristol, etc., as well as the Christo-fascists like Dobson, and listen to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, and like, actually respect these people, do so out of a desperate need to constantly hear reaffirmation of what they think they already know. facts play absolutely NO role.
there was a great quote on Good As You earlier, on an unrelated topic, but it applies: he was talking about how the rabid anti-gay right is releasing election stories about how the “militant gay activist” groups (i always love that word “militant.” like we’re storming Congress or something and staging coups)…but about how “militant gay activist” groups are SO heavily financing elections that would serve to promote our “militant gay agenda” (“you’ll have to pry this cock out of my cold dead mouth, goddammit!”), as if we “militants” were somehow subverting democracy by doing so. anyway, this is the quote:
“Good mother of nonsense, do these people not hear themselves speak?!? What next, are they going to attack us for using our right to vote, breathing oxygen to fuel our work, or using an arsenal of reasoned knowledge to embolden our side’s claims?
Actually, on second thought: They can quite accurately call us out for having an unfair advantage on that last point.”
which is funny haha in that “oh it’s so pathetically true, though” sense.

Actually, she’s neither Korean nor Japanese, so we were both wrong. I’m updating it as we speak.

It’s always interesting, though, when there’s no response to the actual substance of the piece.
