How About exposing the Conservatives who go wild?, February 5, 2006
Reviewer: ROBERT BUTLER (MADISON, TN-USA) - See all my reviews
There are countless number of Conservative written books that continues to push the same tired theme in vilifying Liberal points of view, which is Liberals are portrayed as bad and conservatives are good.
Daniel Flynn in his book claim liberals hate America, Ann Coulter claims we have committed treason, Michael Savage claim we have a mental disorder, Bill O'Riley thinks we want to run God and Army recruiters out of America and Shaun Hanity thinks we are weak on Defense, Terrorist and want to constantly hate George Bush.
And now Michelle Malkin thinks we gone completely nuts as she claims in Unhinged.
The truth is Malkin's book offers nothing new except a different twist because instead of usual claims of hating America and God we are now supposed to be crazy too.
But what about the Conservatives crazy behavior, well this is what Michelle says about that:
"the truth is that it's Conservatives themselves who blow the whistle on bad boys and go after real extremism on their side of the aisle."
First, that is not true, and here is an number of examples of Conservative Extremism Ms. Malkin did not address or CONDEMN in her book:
G. Gordon Liddy's advice on shooting Federal Agents during the Govt. confrontation with the Branch Davidians:
On August 26, 1994, Liddy told his radio listeners: "Now if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms, resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof vests." Liddy's advice that day was explicit: "They've got a big target on there, ATF. Don't shoot at that, because they've got a vest on underneath that. Head shots, head shots.... Kill the sons of bitches."
Bill O'riley hateful comments after army recruiting in San Francisco schools was voted down in November of 2005: from Media Matters web site:
O'REILLY: "Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead. And if Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco." "You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead."
Comments from Conservative religious leader Jerry Falwell and Pat Roberson on the 911 attacks:
"And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad.
I really believe that the Pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way - all of them who have tried to secularize America - I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.' " Robertson responded: "Well, I totally concur..."
The Hypocrsiy here is Ms. Malkin said nothing about Liddy's about his Homocidial desire to kill Federal Agents, or Bill O'riley's Homicidal belief that San Francisco should be attacked because the city voted against Army recruiting.
And finally two ministers who says that 911 happened because of the ACLU, homosexuality, abortion and the left itself, but not the Terrorist who did the actual killing that day.
Very Few Conservatives responded to Rev. Falwell and Rev. Roberson comments that were not only outrageous but insensitive to the surviors families.
NONE of these examples of Unhinged Conservatives views was put in Ms. Malkin's book, yet, [according to her] Liberal are the ones who are unhinged.
MALKIN'S CLAIMS OF LIBERAL RACISM:
Ms. Malkin also want to give the false impression that liberal are racist by generalizing all of us with liberal views with those who disagreed with her and called her nasty, racist names.
And again, she ignores those in her own party that carry on the same behavior.
These are some comments on the Free Republic Site about Margret Cho who is Korean:
JAN 14, 2004 FREE REPUBLIC SITE COMMENTS ON MARGRET CHO:
"You are a f'n loser... I am hoping you develop breast cancer or contract a flesh-eating disease and pass it on to your whole f'n family... you b*tch"
"Just another stupid lesbo chink."
"You are a disgusting fat gook. Go back to China where you belong."
Ms Cho was also called a whore, a slut and one racist member said she should be f*cked by a Ni*ger.
This was not a Klan site that wrote this trash, but CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS upset about Ms. Cho's comments about President Bush.
These hateful and racist comments have been on the Free Republic site for a couple of years, but again, Ms. Malkin says nothing about these public comments from a Conservative-Republican site in her book.
Each Chapter of Unhinged is about vilifying Liberals, but as I have pointed out Ms. Malkin show no interest in having the same moral outrage about Nasty Neo-Con views that she chooses to ignore that I have presented as part of this book review.
This is another poorly written book that continues a One-Sided blame game, which seems to be the only direction that Conservatives like to follow instead of open and honest debate over political views and issues.
This book is only for those who want to feed their hate of Liberals, and are not interested in honest debate over issues.

Because no such comments exist on FreeRepublic, Robert.
Being a Freeper for 7 years, I KNEW that no such comments existed on the FreeRepublic site. And doing a simple google search, turned up those comments not on FreeRepublic, but in emailed vicious hate mail to Margaret Cho.
Apparently, she was doing a show at a Moveon.Org awards program. The transcript of which was posted on Drudge. Which in turn was posted on FreeRepublic: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1057275/posts
And later on they got the hate mail which they blamed on Freepers.

Margaret Cho's website operator is blaming Free Republic by name for the hate mail received. "Most of my traffic has come directly from a site called freerepublic.com, which posted the transcript from Drudge."
They are sending people to this thread.
Now hard as they may believe at Cho's site, that type of language (profanity and racism) is not tolerated in posts on FR. To post such emails and blame them exclusively on FR is an unfair slur on the reputation of this site.

She calls Condi Rice, Justice Thomas and Malkin "race traitors".
Which explains allot about Cho; those 3 put being an American first, above all else.
"Just another stupid lesbo chink."
"You are a disgusting fat gook. Go back to China where you belong."
Ms Cho was also called a whore, a slut and one racist member said she should be f*cked by a Ni*ger.
What an absolute lie. None of these comments would EVER be tolerated on FR.
They don't have to prove that. They are liberals. They can make stuff up and claim it came from FR.
So what's the big deal?
Fake but accurate strikes again.
So the preference is that conservatives and Republicans go back to the day that the newspapers and network news rule the way Americans think by putting forth a liberal agenda? The truth is the people mentioned are the heroes of American politics because they present an opposing point of view that leberals hate...and do not want presented or heard. Go back to the 20th century, where the censorship of conservative ideas by the MSM dominated for years...to late now because the cats out of the bag sir.
The only way that would be posted here would be by a shortly to be ZOtted troll.
Thanks, lowbridge!
Please FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from, the Michelle Malkin ping list...
The moment that I read those ugly comments, I knew they would not be allowed to remain here.
