A quick post; “Liberal tolerance” and the conservative bloggers
October 3, 2008
While I am overly disgusted at what the MSM has done to villianize Sarah Palin lately, I am equally disgusted at the racism the far-left spews on a daily basis. I have been called racist myself by leftist bloggers because I disagree with Obama on the issues and think he is an “empty suit”, so none of this is new to me, but with a month left in the presidential race, things have gotten just a little too absurd. Case in point, Michelle Malkin’s hate mail…
Michelle Malkin:
Let me begin by saying that I know you won’t reply to this, probably won’t read this, as cowards like you like to speak from a bully pulpit, shielded by faceless, nameless men who facilitate your ability to spew their ideological madness. I say “their” because you don’t even realize, or maybe don’t care how you prostitute yourself – figuratively as well as, I am sure, literally – parroting their racist views and believe them to be your own.
You see, simple Michelle, the sad fact is that you look in the mirror every morning, and see yourself as a self-made, bright young woman for whom race has never been an issue. Your last name – Malkin – is Jewish, no? Husband or adopted parent gave you that prize, I suspect. Lucky for you it fits in better with your white girl fantasy, separates you even further from who you are. The saddest fact, however, is that your “place” in the satellite world of Rush Limbaugh, Rupert Murdoch, Karl Rove and Dick Cheney exists because they can use you. Don’t you wonder why in times like this they trot your slanted-eyed self out, along with several willing negro and hispanic housemaids and boys, and have you deliver their poison in the belief that fair thinking, intelligent People of Color are as stupid and easily bought as you? How can you be a witness to this wondrous moment in history, and have only one thought – to destroy it for your own gain? Thirty pieces of silver, Michelle. Is it worth it?
On the off chance that this does get to your narrow-minded eyes I am sure you will have a big laugh with the white boys and girls in your office (the same ones who refer to you as a “chink” behind your back). You’ll have a discussion about why n—–s like me are so stupid. You’ll go home and you’ll look at your children – who I am sure look a little like you, at least – or maybe you’ll glance in that mirror you seem to love so much. And you’ll have to be honest at some point with yourself and your God, and you’ll feel shame.
The only reason someone like you are (sic) allowed to work in the media is because of giants like Gwen Ifill – a real, live journalist whose reputation and track record is beyond reproach. Women who have to fight each day against what you destroy a little bit more with each of your stupid, dangerous columns.
You, on the other hand, are not fit to do her nails.
This letter was posted on her website, the link to it is right here. The Jewish comments are a little over the top, but it goes to further an opinion I have been holding since I returned from China. With the way political correctness is there days, it seems the only “colours” you can be is black and brown. Racism against Asians was definitely at its height during the Beijing Olympic Games and I thought it was going to slip down, but we do see that the “fit to do her nails” reference was meant as a dig against Michelle’s ethnicity. Ignoring that Gwen Ifill herself called racism when the right questioned her objectivity when not only she was found to be writing a book on Barack Obama but refused to tell the Debate Commission about it when she was picked to moderate.
I guess it is okay if Obama and his supporters are bigots, but it is racist for the rest of us to call them on it. Pathetic…
UPDATE: You know I almost forgot about far-left bigotry towards the Jewish people. Hot Air just put up this comparison between a funny and well spoken comedian, Jackie Mason, and a crazy liberal celebrity, Sarah Silverman who’s fame has faded to the point where she is ranting about how the Jews, her own people, are to blame for the state this country is in. This is kind of like Rev. Michael Pfelger’s “white on white” racism, except it is pathetically sad on a level only celebrities like “Hanoi” Jane Fonda have achieved.
