Liberal bigotry against conservative minorities like Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Secretary of State nominee Dr. Condoleezza Rice is on the rise, columnist Michelle Malkin warned on Friday.
"The underlying liberal bigotry that seems to have shown its ugly face . . . is what's really remarkable," Malkin told Steve Malzberg, who was filling in for Salem Radio network "Morning in America" host Bill Bennett.
"We've seen it a lot with how liberal columnists and cartoonists are treating minority conservatives," noted Malkin, who was derided last week as an "Asian Ann Coulter" by the editorial board of the Northfolk Virginian-Pilot.
"I've had to deal with it for much of my career," the conservative columnist and daughter of Filipino immigrants said. "But I have to say, it's becoming more and more pronounced."
Malkin said that over the years she's been attacked as an "Aunt Thomasina and a sell-out and a race traitor" by liberals of Asian background.
As for criticism that she's an "Asian Ann Coulter," Malkin said, "I'm not Asian, I'm American, for goodness sake.
"I would take the comparison to Ann Coulter as somewhat of a compliment. I have a lot of respect for Ann Coulter," she added.
When will these leftists realize that most of us are happy just being AMERICANS.
Just start and continue referring to them as Communist-Americans.
Woo hooo! Yep, the Ann Coulter reference is intended by liberals as a slur but its a flattering compliment. See, the Left is intimidated and reduced to being a bunch of impotent pansywaists by strong women. That's why they hate Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter. It drive them nuts people from the other side of the "gender gap" would take issue with them. How dare they!

There is a good side to this. Piss off enough of your one-time supporters and they go "into the light". Let the dumbocraps cut off their own noses to spite their faces, as the saying goes. We can just sit back with our feet propped up sipping on a beer and take in the show. Makes our job that much easier in 2008.
All DemocRATs and lefties (including a few RINOs or RepublicRATs shall heretofor be recognized as Communist-Americans!
The Left refuses to see minorities as individuals. They are not allowed to think outside the parameters that have been set for them. They are seen as stupid people unable to succeed without the assistance of the socialist state.
Didn't someone say the "Coulter-rule" also applied to Michelle and Laura Ingraham?
Well personally I regularly refer to the hard core 'feminazis' as "Vagino-Americans"
They don't see anyone as individuals. They can't, if they did, there couldn't be "minorities."
Good point!
Whenever liberals (new Stalinists) warn us about conservatives, they are actually warning us about themselves. Recent events regarding Ms.Rice should leave no doubt about who the real racists are in our society.
Michelle Malkin--always a class act.
That doesn't fit their "divide America" desires. They refer to "two Americas" but really they would rather divide and not unite into even more segments.
The liberals need to feel superior to (fill in the blank) in order maintain justification to thwart the majority."we know what's best for you ignorant (fill in the blank)s". Every day I lean more toward Michael Savage's theory that "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder".
It is called projection. When Clinton picked his cabinet, he was lightly chided for not being diverse enough. He called his critics 'beancounters'. Right before the election, Kerry revealed his diversically challenged cabinet to little or no criticism. I am from the South, and the only party that ever practiced overt racism, jim crow, separate but equal, etc, has been democrats. The Republicans are and have always been the ones to see all people as equals. Blacks can only be sure of high level appointments in a democrat administration, if there was a department of 'minority studies'--then ONLY a black would be appointed. They compartmentalize blacks and see them as only qualified to provide input on "black issues".

I believe it does, and I'm aware that we have seen mention of both Ann and Laura on this thread. While we have a nice photo of Michelle, it appears that we are only at 33% compliance.
Personally I think Michele Malkin presents herself on the various news talk shows much better than Ms Coulter with all due respect. Michele is calm, articulate, bullets her points well, and says what she needs to say without raising her voice or getting trapped into a useless circular argument.
