Tough Guy Glenn Beck Makes Fun Of Malia Obama, Questions Her Intelligence

Fox News extremist and radio talk show nut Glenn Beck is on the attack and this time his victim is Malia Obama, the 11-year-old daughter of President Obama and Michelle Obama.

What a tough guy Glenn Beck is these days. This is a man with a dark heart who has a serious, serious problem.

What kind of loser of a human being makes fun of an 11-year-old concerned about stopping the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico?

Once again, it shows the dark soul behind the shows that Beck puts on whether he is on Fox News or he is on the radio.

BECK: This is such a ridiculous — this is such a ridiculous thing that his daughter– (imitating Malia) Daddy?

GRAY: It’s so stupid.

BECK: How old is his daughter? Like, thirteen?

GRAY: Well, one of thems, I think, thirteen, one’s eleven, or something.

BECK: “Did you plug the hole yet, daddy?” Is that’s their — that’s the level of their education, that they’re coming to — they’re coming to daddy and saying ‘Daddy, did you plug the hole yet?’ ” Plug the hole!

This man is a coward who has no character and seems almost less than human.

I wonder when Bill O'Reilly, Michelle Malkin, Sean Hannity and others will speak out against Glenn Beck and condemn him the way he and so many others did David Letterman for cracking jokes about the Palin girls.

Don't expect a whole lot from hypocritical bigots like O'Reilly, Dennis Miller, Hannity and others.

I can hardly wait to see and hear how Beck turns himself into the victim.

UPDATE: Beck has issued sort of an apology that is posted on his Web site:
In discussing how President Obama uses children to shield himself from criticism, I broke my own rule about leaving kids out of political debates. The children of public figures should be left on the sidelines. It was a stupid mistake and I apologize--and as a dad I should have known better.
Weak.

Conservatives Predictably Attack Phoenix Suns

Conservatives, many of which whined because the mean mainstream media was tough on the poor ole Tea Party protesters, now are attacking the Phoenix Suns who have decided to make a stand against Arizona's terrible anti-immigration law.

Media Matters for America has outlined
how conservative media members have gone on an attack fastbreak against the NBA's Suns, who decided to where their "Los Suns" jerseys to commemorate Cinco de Mayo and protest Arizona's draconian anti-immigration legislation.

Red State Revolution referred to the Phoenix Suns this way: "Los Suns = LOSERS"

Anyone remember all of those conservatives who were crying like sissies when people were critical of the Tea Party protesters? Those who were critical of the Tea Party people were accused of attacking Americans, being intolerant of opposition, suppressing protest and more.

Now, many of these same conservative hypocrites, are the first ones in line to attack the Phoenix Suns in all of the predictable ways.

Here are some samples compiled by Media Matters for America:

Malkin: "[O]pen-borders sympathizing Phoenix Suns." In a May 5 blog post titled, "Los Moochers," Michelle Malkin referred to the Suns as "open-borders sympathiz[ers]," calling the team's move a "stunt." She wrote: "And basketball and baseball fans who support immigration enforcement, national security, and the rule of law should consider taking the proper steps to protect their rights and interests -- by voting with their feet and refusing to do business with open-borders sports organizations. Perhaps Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver should stop shoving politics down his ticket-buyers' throats, mind his own business -- and stop using our taxpayers dollars to keep him afloat." She concluded: "New uniform proposal: Los Moochers. If the shirt fits..."

Allahpundit suggests Suns are "responsible" for this "climate of hate." In a May 4 post on HotAir, Allahpundit called Sarver a "tool," writing: "First, shouldn't 'Los Suns' be 'Los Sols'? Second, if this tool wants his team dudded out in protest gear, it's his dime, but I wonder how smart of a marketing strategy it is to make a show of opposing a law favored by 60 percent of the public. Amnesty shills will love it but a larger number of amnesty opponents will hate it, and a swath of people in the middle will wonder why they're being treated to political propaganda when all they want to do is watch hoops." He concluded: "Since 'Los Suns' feel comfortable injecting politics into sports, I'm going to feel comfortable injecting this story into this post: Earlier today, Jan Brewer got an envelope filled with white powder from some unknown member of the Lords of Progress. Exit question: Who's responsible for this 'climate of hate'?"

Red State Revolution: "[W]hat the hell are the Phoenix Suns thinking?" In a May 4 post titled, "Los Suns = LOSERS," the blog Red State Revolution wrote: "[W]hat the hell are the Phoenix Suns thinking? I am 100 percent positive about the following, the players and owner know nothing of what I just wrote and have not read one page of the Arizona bill! Most importantly any professional sports team is fan supported, the Suns just decided to go against what 70% of Arizonans approved! Whoops, that means you pretty much just pissed off 70% of your fan base, because of your decision and lack of knowledge. What smart business model did this decision come from." The post concluded: "Just because you have athletic skills DOES NOT MAKE YOU SMART! Just because you have money DOES NOT MAKE YOU SMART!"

In other words, it is OK for conservatives (Tea Party protesters) to attack President Obama and liberal politicians, but many of those same conservatives feel it is wrong for the Phoenix Suns to protest.

Conservatives cried like babies when Tea Party people were called out for their racist minority and for condoning that racism. Now, many of these same conservatives are badmouthing the Suns for exercising their rights.

Conservatives are falsely implying that those who are against this dangerous legislation are for essentially opening the borders and letting all people into the country.

Such a suggestion is ridiculous.

I commend the Phoenix Suns for this protest and hope more professional organizations and athletes take this lead.

This dangerous xenophobia needs to be halted.

With Michelle Malkin, Every Minute Of The Day Is Hate O’Clock

Far-right commentator Michelle Malkin, who seemingly has spent a lifetime running away from her color, is back on the attack using race as a weapon to gain favor with a mostly white and conservative audience (better known as the viewers of Fox News). This time, Malkin has again targeted one of her favorite racial boogeymen, Fr. Michael Pfleger of Chicago (the other favorite racial boogeymen of far-right commentators will predictably follow as you will see later in this blog). Malkin begins her venomous attack against Fr. Pfleger right off the bat in this excerpt below from one of her blogs:

Look who is presiding over a special celebration honoring Catholic clown and race-baiting reverend Michael Pfleger (hat tip: Matt A.)

Yes, the Archdiocese of Chicago’s “Office of Racial Justice” is bestowing the demagogic Pfleger of the St. Sabina parish with a “lifetime achievement award” for his “service in pursuit of dismantling racism, injustice and inequalities on behalf of African Americans and all people of color” — and the Archbishop of Chicago himself, Cardinal George, is the official “presider.”

In June 2008, the racial cowards of the Chicago Archdiocese put Pfleger on a temporary leave to quell churchgoers’ outrage over Pfleger’s Hillary Clinton-mimicking, America-bashing, Vanilla Ice-prancing, Jeremiah Wright-impersonating, Louis Farrakhan-embracing cult leader. After laying low a measly few weeks to “reflect” on his outbursts, Pfleger returned triumphantly to the pulpit. And now, he’ll be feted by the Archbishop for his toxic tongue.

Michelle Malkin viciously attacks the Chicago Archdiocese by attaching the label "racial cowards" to them. There's little question that Pfleger stepped over the line with his words about now Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but Malkin can't let that racial battle go. Instead, she uses it as another excuse to bring back the name the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. She continues her racial attack by invoking the names of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and former rap star Vanilla Ice.

Michelle Malkin is so quick to accuse others of playing the race card, but she seems to have no problem playing the ace of spades (over and over again) and dealing it from the bottom of the deck.

Amazing How Republicans Become Racially Sensitive When They See Opportunity To Attack Democrats

Republicans have had a rather dubious in regard to race relations for decades, but it seems their sensitivity to race has recently been heightened. The right-wing has spotted some blood in the water and is going after one of its favorite targets: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who likened the Republican health care opposition to slavery. As one might expect, right-wing nuts emerged from everywhere to pounce on Sen. Reid and accuse of him of playing the so-called race card (one of angry Michelle Malkin’s favorite terms). Malkin is just one of a gang of conservatives moving into to attack like one of the groups from the legendary Michael Jackson music video, “Beat It.”

As Media Matters for America has pointed out, however, conservatives have for years attacked progressives (in particular) blacks for being slaves to the government. We’ve routinely heard from conservatives that people who are on welfare are like slaves and that if health care is enacted that people will essentially become slave-like.

Here are the remarks Media Matters for America cited from conservatives (with the usual subjects in Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and Michelle Malkin leading the way):

Fox’s Bolling: “Were you shocked as I was when I heard him?” On the December 7 edition of Fox News’ Your World, guest host Eric Bolling — who also frequently guest hosts for Glenn Beck — asked Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson (TX): “[W]ere you shocked as I was when I heard him compare — if you were against health care, you may actually be in favor of slavery?” Bolling later asked if Reid’s comments were an indication of “desperation” about health care reform.

FoxNews.com: Reid “took his GOP-blasting rhetoric to a new level Monday.” In a December 7 article, FoxNews.com wrote that Reid “took his GOP-blasting rhetoric to a new level Monday, comparing Republicans who oppose health care reform to lawmakers who clung to the institution of slavery more than a century ago.”

Limbaugh: “This is outrageous.” On his radio show, Rush Limbaugh said that Reid’s remarks were “outrageous, because Harry Reid knows the Republican Party was born in the fight against slavery.” Limbaugh added that Reid’s remarks are an indication of what Democrats have “been reduced to.”

Malkin: Reid “playing the race card.” In a December 7 post, Michelle Malkin wrote that Reid was playing the race card in his remarks, adding: “I’m sure Nevadans appreciate being likened to slavemasters, too.”

It just goes to show the nuts at Fox News along with a cabinet-level nut like Malkin and the NOTUS (Nut Of The United States) Rush Limbaugh are the biggest of the hypocrites.

Where was Michelle Malkin’s outrage when Glenn Beck used slavery multiple times to attack progressives.

This is another way some conservatives gleefully spit in the face of minorities and act as if minorities are not smart enough to sift through the B.S. and middle-America whites are not smart enough to understand their game.

Check out the evidence Media Matters for America displays to show that conservatives lacked the outrage when they’re diversity-challenged side has made comments using slavery.

Information From School District About President Obama Song That Has Fox News, Other Conservatives Whining About Indoctrination

Fox News and nutty far-right bloggers like Michelle Malkin and the Matt Drudge (among many others) have attempted to turn this group of elementary school kids singing a song about President Obama into a scandalous-type conspiracy seemingly on scale with the Kennedy assassination, Watergate and the Lincoln assassination. While some are frustrated with No Child Left Behind, conservatives like Malkin, Fox News and Drudge are advancing a new project ... No Obama Smear Left Behind. Operating on the premise that it's better to smear first and ask questions later, some of these far-right commentators have been trying to advance the notion that this is some kind of an indoctrination plot seemingly hatched by President Obama to control the minds of young students.

After Fox News blew up the story on its Web site all day, here is a response from the school district (B. Bernice Young Elementary School) in question about the scandal according to Fox 29 News in Philadelphia:

The first of two Burlington Township School District letters to local families posted online Thursday and obtained by Fox 29 News confirms that a video circulating online and in the media is a class at B. Bernice Young Elementary School singing about the president.

"The activity took place during Black History Month in 2009, which is recognized each February to honor the contributions of African Americans to our country," the letter states. "Our curriculum studies, honors and recognizes those who serve our country. The recording and distribution of the class activity were unauthorized."

Of course, for Fox News, Malkin, Drudge and others ... why let context get in the way of a good smear?

I found this on Daily Kos:

It's what a nutty comedian network would do to our nation's youth:

Drudge and the right-wing blogosphere are flogging a "SHOCK VIDEO" from YouTube that purports to show "[s]chool kids taught to praise Obama."

The children in this video appear to be no more than 8 years old. They have done nothing wrong. Presumably, neither they nor their parents have consented to having their faces plastered all over the right-wing media. They did nothing to justify Matt Drudge's invasion of their privacy. They did nothing to justify Michelle Malkin's invasion of their privacy.

Nothing these kids have done would warrant a decision by Glenn Beck, his enablers at Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, or Lou Dobbs to further invade their privacy.

The right is ruthless.

These conservatives are now using children (via exploitation using an unauthorized video) to advance their bigoted right-wing agenda.

As I wrote earlier, this is stupid, overblown and extremist even by far-right standards. It also shows these right wingers have learned nothing from their hysterical reactions to a speech that the president gave to school students weeks back.

Media Matters Chronicles What Some Far-Right Nuts On Fox News Are Saying About President’s Talk To Students

Media Matters for America has done good work to bring together samples of some of the nutty, out of touch and hypocritical talk coming from those far to the right of what mainstream Americans really feel. When you look at the names on this list (Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin, etc.) you can see just how dumb the comments and the thought behind the comments are when you break it down. The hatred of these individuals on the far right, for President Obama, has clouded their judgement and destroyed any pretense of objectivity related to anything this president does.

Check out some of the foolishness going out on the airwaves.

Hannity: “It seems very close to indoctrination.” During an interview with conservative columnist Michelle Malkin, Sean Hannity said on his show that the president’s speech “seems very close to indoctrination.” Malkin replied in part: [T]his is not merely a morale-boosting speech that he’s giving. He’s giving it in the context of his Obamacare plan completely under siege. We know that the left has always used kids in public schools as guinea pigs and as junior lobbyists for their social liberal agenda.” Later, Malkin said Obama will “actually deliver a very innocuous speech. I can guarantee you that. But in these classrooms, which are living laboratories for left-wing activism, what you’re going to get are overzealous teachers, teachers’ union brass who are in the hip pockets of the Democrat Party, urge their kids to write letters, to demonize Obamacare opponents, and to call them opponents of change.” [Fox News' Hannity, 9/2/09]

COMMENT: You expect this kind of stupidity from Hannity and Malkin.

Crowley: “This is what Chairman Mao did.” On Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor, host Laura Ingraham said the speech is just another slick attempt to brand Barack Obama” and that “it’s a message being sent out by the Department of Education with these questions that without a doubt lead to the further branding of Barack Obama as a savior of our school children.” Also during the segment, Fox News commentator Monica Crowley said, “[J]ust when you think that this administration can’t get any more surreal and Orwellian, here he comes to indoctrinate our children,” and, “[T]his is what Chairman Mao did, Laura. This is like Max Headroom, this is going into every single classroom. There is no escape from him.” [Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, 9/2/09]

COMMENT: Chairman Mao … this is so stupid and ignorant of past presidential speeches it’s almost chilling.

Beck connects Mussolini to purported Obama “indoctrination next week.” Discussing a bas-relief supposedly representing Benito Mussolini, Fox News host Glenn Beck said: “Gee, who is having indoctrination next week? Oh, yeah, that’s right, the president, completely unrelated. This represents, at the time this was made, Mussolini. This was Mussolini. By the way, the artist that made this — his son, ironically and tragically died fighting the army of Mussolini years after this was made.” [Fox News' Glenn Beck, 9/2/09]

COMMENT: It’s Glenn Beck … enough said.

Tantaros: “They do this type of thing in North Korea and the former Soviet Union … very cultish.” Fox News contributor Andrea Tantaros responded to host Martha MaCullum’s comparison of the treatment of Ronald Reagan’s funeral and Obama’s inauguration in schools by stating: “This isn’t a historic moment. I mean it’s historic in the sense that it’s unprecedented. They do this type of thing in North Korea and the former Soviet Union.” Tantaros later added: “I would argue it’s a very fine line. You argue it’s propaganda. It seems very cultish, very sort of get in the minds of the kids.” [Fox News' The Live Desk, 9/3/09]

COMMENT: More efforts from the far right to try and portray the President as someone who is an evil dictator. It’s laughable coming off of so much of what we saw from Bush and Cheney.

Fox & Friends hosted parents who plan to “keep kids home” from Obama stay-in-school “indoctrination” speech. On September 3, Fox & Friends hosted two parents who, in the words of host Steve Doocy, “are concerned [Obama's] message is less about education and could be more about teaching the ideals of a liberal presidential administration.” Onscreen text during the segment read: “Education or indoctrination?”[Fox News' Fox & Friends, 9/3/09]

COMMENT: Using words like indoctrination show how idiotic some of these people are and how they are attracted to Fox News like metal to a magnet. Steve Doocy has no credibility.

Fox Nation asked: “Will You Keep Your Kids Home the Day Obama Speaks to Schools?” On September 3, the Fox Nation website featured a headline asking, “Will You Keep Your Kids Home the Day Obama Speaks to Schools?”

COMMENT: Fox Nation is a safe haven for far-right hatred. It’s a place where conservatives can come in and anonymously spew their right-wing hatred as they hide in cowardly fashion behind their anonymity while laughing hateful and often racist rants against President Obama.

Richard Prince Blogs About ABC Legitimizing Radical Michelle Malkin

I know far-right blogger Michelle Malkin has a book coming out, but ABC providing her a platform to help her sell books on a panel with far more credible individuals is puzzling at best and indefensible at worst. Was it because she was selling a book and making the media rounds to drum up publicity for the shots she is taking at the Obama Administration? Like some other bloggers, I too found it almost shocking to see her on ANC’s “This Week” trying to talk politics with George Stephanopoulus, Cynthia Tucker, Al Hunt and Gerald Seib. In that group, the almost irrationally-partisan Malkin sticks out like a sore thumb just hit by a hammer.

Here isRichard Prince’s take on Michelle Malkin in a blog titled: ABC’s “This Week” Legitimizes Michelle Malkin:

It’s been 10 years since Michelle Malkin, then a Seattle Times editorial writer and columnist, disparaged Unity ‘99 in her column, saying, “I am not a brown jelly bean. . . . For better or worse, I want readers to know me for my ideas, ideology and idiosyncrasies — not for my Filipino heritage. This is why, after more than a half-dozen years in the newspaper business, I refuse to join race-based organizations such as the Asian-American Journalists Association.”

Malkin moved to Washington and wrote such works as “In Defense of Internment: The Case for “Racial Profiling” in World War II and the War on Terror” (2004)

By and large, however, Malkin was considered a rather fringe, Ann Coulter-type character — until Sunday, when she was invited to share the reporter’s roundtable of ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos, with mainstream veterans Cynthia Tucker, Al Hunt and Gerald Seib.

It was her first time. “She’s a provocative conservative voice with a new book,” ABC spokeswoman Emily Lenzner explained to Journal-isms.

“There’s no shortage of wingnuts out there, so why would George Stephanopoulos invite on someone too crazy for even Bill O’Reilly?” John Amato asked on his Crooks and Liars blog.

“Only people with a Malkin brain would believe and push across the notion that Americans would rather collect three hundred dollars a week on unemployment insurance rather than get a job that supplies benefits and pays a salary,” as Malkin did on “This Week.”

“The Huffington Post adds:

“‘Everybody just sort of looked at Malkin, like she was INSANE, and George Stephanopoulos very politely said, ‘Uhm . . . I don’t know if I follow that.’ To which Malkin replied: ‘BUT IT WAS A CLINTON ECONOMIST, BLARGLE!’ Stephanopoulos was still a bit dumbfounded, wondering why anyone in their right mind would take unemployment benefits ‘when a job was available.’”

Certainly she is a provocative voice with a new book, but is this where the bar is set to earn a spot on a show that is supposed to be as prestigious as ABC’s “This Week” is nowadays (selling a book and coming across as provocative)?

To some extent, she tried to hide her partisanship (or at least turn down the volume on it), but it was apparently too difficult for her.

Crooks and Liars gives an example of how obsessed she has become with attacking the Obama Administration (in an interview she did on Fox News with another right-wing extremist, Sean Hannity):

Especially the complete and utter loss of perspective:

HANNITY: Now that you’ve done all this research — and I’ll let the audience, because you really, with great specificity and detail, go into the corruption — how corrupt is this administration compared to others?

MALKIN: Well, I think you have to judge them by their rhetoric. And if you look at the gap between the rhetoric and the reality, this has to be one of the corrupt, most corrupt administrations in recent memory.

Hmmm. I dunno about you, but when I look at the levels of corruption within an administration, I look for actual things like, you know, corruption. Things like Halliburton and Enron.

Apparently, Malkin has a short memory for presidential administration scandals.

I wonder if Malkin will measure Dick Cheney’s rhetoric against the reality of Bush Administration scandals.

Remember these words from Cheney:

We can restore the ideals of honesty and honor that must be a part of our national life, if our children are to thrive. When I look at the administration now in Washington, I am dismayed by opportunities squandered. Saddened by what might have been, but never was. These have been years of prosperity in our land, but little purpose in the White House. Bill Clinton vowed not long ago to hold onto power “until the last hour of the last day.” That is his right. But, my friends, that last hour is coming. That last day is near. The wheel has turned. And it is time. It is time for them to go.

George W. Bush will repair what has been damaged. He is a man without pretense and without cynicism. A man of principle, a man of honor. On the first hour of the first day he will restore decency and integrity to the Oval Office. He will show us that national leaders can be true to their word and that they can get things done by reaching across the partisan aisle, and working with political opponents in good faith and common purpose. I know he’ll do these things, because for the last five years I’ve watched him do them in Texas.

George W. Bush came to the governor’s office with a clear view of what he wanted to achieve. He said he would bring higher standards to public schools, and he has. Walk into those schools today, and you will see children with better scores, classrooms with better discipline and teachers with better pay.

Uh, right.

What say you Michelle Malkin? …

How about the gap between that rhetoric and these scandals (to name a few):

Halliburton’s Corruption
Iraq’s Decline
Weapons of mass destruction
Mission Accomplished
Abu Ghraib Prison Torture
CIAPre-9/11 Intelligence Failures
HHS Deceptive Ad Campaign
HHS Scully Scandal
Government-wide Accounting Problems
Real Costs of the Iraq War

Michelle Malkin An Advocate For Bone-Headed Tea Party Movement

Conservative blogger Michelle Malkin was talking with George Stephanopoulos about these moronic and sparsely-attended tea parties we’ve seen sprouting up since President Obama has been in office. Malkin, as a far-right extremist, has been feeling the tea parties (a gathering of mostly far-right nuts who are using taxes as a way of attacking President Obama). Much like the birther morons, who are cloaking their racism with this birth certificate nonsense, the tea party bobbleheads are driving the Republican brand into extinction.

From Think Progress:

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.

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.

Malkin has had a prejudice against President Obama from the beginning and it makes me wonder what her prejudice is truly based on. I am not sure it’s as obvious as her followers would like to believe. The administration vastly underestimated the high degree of hatred that is being felt by a number of people on the far right still struggling to come to grips with the first black president and what some people have described as the “browning of America” with the growing Latino population and the growing number of people who are biracial.

Let these birther and tea bagging nuts have their little townhalls so people can see just how extreme the right wing is going these days and how out of touch Republicans are becoming with blacks and Latinos (it will get worse with Latinos as Republicans continue to beat up on U.S. Supreme Court Justice nominee Sonia Sotomayor).

I doubt the Obama Administration is too concerned about the diversity-challenged and intellect-challenged tea party movement.

Nutty Michelle Malkin Rushing To Judge President Obama

Far-right nutblogger Michelle Malkin has been waging a little war against President Obama, who is the first black president of the United States of America (and who walked into a mess that included a financial meltdown, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a housing crisis and a diminished level of respect for the USA around the world). A part of Malkin’s partisan and misguided war effort is her new book crying about President Obama and corruption just six months into his presidency.

When did career player hater Malkin, drunk with blind-rage prejudice, start writing this book about Obama Administration corruption if he’s only been in office six months?

Malkin is a bitter and small person who clearly seems to be unhappy unless she’s angry.

Check out this Crooks and Liars video during which host Bill Maher makes fun of the ridiculous rush to judgement on the part of Michelle Malkin, a conservative opportunist trying to cash in on President Obama’s popularity while appealing to a shrinking minority of bigots who follow her every word like mindless morons.

The title of her book is funny and ironic coming off the prior presidency.

Bizarre Anti-Michael Jackson Sentiment From Michelle Malkin Who Joins With Peter King to Sing “Smear The World”

Michelle Malkin, a highly-conservative blogger, has been on an attack against Sheila Jackson-Lee because of her desire to draft a resolution recognizing Michael Jackson for the works and dollars he devoted to humanitarian efforts during his lifetime.

Here is what Malkin wrote:

Texas Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee drafted a 1,600-word congressional resolution that “recognizes Michael Jackson as a global humanitarian and a noted leader in the fight against worldwide hunger and medical crises; and celebrates Michael Jackson as an accomplished contributor to the worlds of arts and entertainment, scientific advances in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, and global food security.”

Jackson-Lee laundry-listed every charitable act and donation by Jackson in the House resolution – and would have included all the times he said “Thank you” and “God bless you” if there had been more room. Is it too much to ask our lawmakers to restrain themselves from acting like Entertainment Tonight spokesmodels and Tiger Beat correspondents?

I stand with GOP Rep. Peter King of New York, who rightly skewered these celebrity-worshiping warped priorities as “an orgy of glorification.”

So, donating millions of dollars and raising millions of dollars to help those in need around the world suffering from hunger, AIDS/HIV and more “warped priorities” to Malkin? Malkin’s second paragraph is hate on parade as she seems bitter that Jackson’s humanitarian works are being put on display so people will see that he was more than just the greatest entertainer of my lifetime.

Instead of recognizing the great deeds that Michael Jackson did to help others, Malkin spends time smearing the media, Jackson-Lee and anyone who thinks that those charitable works and the impact he had on people all over the world, as an entertainer and a humanitarian should go unrecognized.

The late Paul Newman was honored by the United States Congress according to this Reuters story. I didn’t even know about it because I don’t remember the haters bringing it up nor contesting it.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Paul Newman, who died last September of cancer, was given a posthumous honour on Tuesday as the U.S. House of Representatives approved a resolution recognizing the iconic actor’s life and achievements.

Rep. Steve Cohen, a Democrat from Tennessee, introduced the resolution honouring Newman on the House floor in Washington. Rep. Jim Jordan, a Republican from the actor’s native state of Ohio, was among the House members who spoke about Newman.

Were Michelle Malkin or Bill O’Reilly as angry about that?

I’m not necessarily advocating for this or other such resolutions, but I think people should be as consistent (that includes Malkin, O’Reilly and members of Congress) as possible.

Every day we do mourn our soldiers, from all across this great country, who died battle (and battled) to clean up a war in Iraq many people opposed and many people felt was founded on lies and distortions. However, that opposition does not prevent people from mourning in cities all over this nation as they thank our young men and women for their sacrifices.

Michelle Malkin Exemplifies What’s Wrong With Conservatives

Michelle Malkin is one of the biggest player haters out there in politics. But, her hate-producing skills are not limited to politics.

Check this garbage out as the wicked Malkin smears Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee for no good reason on a day when most people (even those with differing views) recognize the time to pay respect to Michael Jackson:

Oh, no, she didn’t.

Oh, yes, she did.

Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee just pimped the stupidest House resolution ever on stage at the Jacko memorial at Staples Center. She held up a big, framed copy of it as the crowd cheered. That was after she extolled “The King,” painted him as the world’s greatest humanitarian, and demagogued the child molestation cases by proclaiming that members of Congress “understand the Constitution” and “we understand laws” and we know that “people are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE!”

Yes, she did. Right there in front of Jacko’s three children.

I thought Al Sharpton’s memorial rant (“There was nothing strange about your daddy!”) was the low point for American culture.

Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, you win.

This is the kind of heartless attitude that is far to prevalent on the far-right of the political spectrum and why conservatives are so out of touch and moving toward extinction in a world that is becoming increasingly multicultural and diverse. The close-minded society that is the Republican Party continues to show the kind of mean-spirited and hateful attitude that turns so many good Americans off.
