Right-wing revisionism

Here's a post from my blog this morning, I already have one right-wing troll asking me if I support "Al-Pie-Da" :eyes:

Bluebus.org: Right-wing revisionism

Michelle Malkin has been furiously posting examples that are supposed to show that "liberal tolerance" is nothing more than a myth. Her proof? The recent pie-throwing incidents in which conservative pundits and activists have been hit by pies while giving speeches. These are supposed to show a growing trend that liberals are "unhinged", according to Malkin. Now, these pie incidents are extremely childish and uncalled for (the pen is a much better weapon than a pie) but I can't help but laugh at the ridiculousness of Malkin and several other conservative bloggers who are blowing these incidents way out of proportion in order to make it an indictment of all liberals in general. Apparently their short memories have forgotten all of the bullets liberal leaders took in the 1960s. Or, for a more recent example, the Anthrax terrorist that targeted Democratic leaders in the Senate back in 2001 (still uncaught). How about the right-wing terrorist Eric Rudolph who was just convicted of the Olympic park bombing, who also bombed abortion clinics (killing a police officer) and a gay club? Or all of the other attacks on abortion clinics? There have been so many physical attacks on liberals over the years, political murders and assassinations, but does that mean we should use these as an indictments of conservatives in general? Between pies or bullets, I think I know what I'd choose to be hit with.

1. This is the second post I see here promoting this good-for-nothing

What on earth are we promoting her? I just don't see any benefit to posting her screeds..

2. Well, it's my screed for one, not hers

I was rebutting her stupid claims that these pie incidents are somehow proof that all liberals are becoming unhinged.

3. I don't even acknowledge her premise - it's rediculous.

It's a way of giving creedence to an insane persons ravings.

5. Yeah..

... ignore her. That worked real well for Kerry and the SBVT bullshit.

[Mr_Spock]

12. Whatever - throw out some silly rhetoric

I didn't know she was attacking a candidate for office. She's a piece of shit and you can enjoy her silly web site if you wish - nobody is stopping you. You can even elevate her to SBVT status if you want - I'm sure she'll thank you for making her famous - nice work!

4. Someone needs to make a graphic "Liberal hit vs Conservative hit"

Liberal hit: A pie in the face (the Kristol pic)

Conservative hit: Scope sight with an MD graphic in the crosshairs . . .

9. good idea

Maybe one of the talented artists on DU could give it a shot?

6. Is Rudolf convicted yet?

He's pled guilty to avoid a death penalty, but is he officially "convicted" at that point or at the conclusion of the court proceedings.

Just a nit-pick, because you can be sure the righties will do so to avoid the substance of your argument.

8. good point- thanks

I will revise the original post on my site.

7. So Malkin, a pro-internment camp nut wants to lecture me on tolerance?

And she wants to use pie-throwing college students as the only examples to support her insane theory? Riiiiight.

She's working her crazy little head off trying to out-coulter Coulter. The thing about Malkin is that her rantings aren't well thought out enough to come across sincere. I am 100% convinced that Ann actually believes in the hate and lies she spews but Malkin...well, I think she just wants attention and easy money hawking useless books that can't be sold without hateful rhetoric.

My liberal tolerance makes me feel embarrassed for the woman. She's just so sadly pathetic. I'll never hate her though or be angered by her. She's not worth that much emotional effort.
