Michelle Malkin: I'm No South Park Conservative
The National Ledger ^ | May 4, 2005 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 05/03/2005 10:06:52 PM PDT by Coastal

I'll get to First Lady Laura Bush's bawdy stand-up routine in a minute. But I want to highlight a related new book out about how young conservatives are shaking up the dominant liberal media culture. It's called "South Park Conservatives." My name is listed on the cover along with many other (mostly) right-leaning pundits, websites, and bloggers, but I must confess to having mixed feelings about the honor.

The best-selling book's author, Brian C. Anderson of the Manhattan Institute, writes a fun, breezy survey documenting the rise of talk radio, FOX News, the Internet, conservative publishing, and college Republican activism. Anderson's chapter on the success of conservative talk radio and the abysmal failure of liberal Air America to replicate it is incisive. Another chapter on the blogosphere (alone worth the price of the book)

Wow. Who do you ever find to vote for?

LOL! My sheriff is a great guy and a good friend, and I enjoy casting a vote for him every four years. Other than that, I typically find people to vote against.

HEHEHEHE...one or the other?

Shoot I'll watch my DVD of the SP movie on Saturday night with a mixed drink in hand, head to church in the morning, blasting Motley Crue's latest all the way.

Pigeon Hole me Howard Dean...I'd kinda like to see ya try.

I think her main problem is that she's moved to DC, where everything is politics. It narrows you. Suggest to a columnist there or a Congressional aide that there's more to life than politics and they look at you like a deer caught in the headlights. I don't mind the politically obsessed but I do feel sorry for them.

Christians are commanded by scripture to flee from occasions of sin.

Don't you have a thread to post bashing the military or Rumsfeld.

Pontificate somewhere else.

You've wandered on to the wrong floor, bucko

I was afraid I was the only one who was noticing.

I can see you're as big an ass as ever. A lot of other freepers are noting that as well, I see from this thread.

Fine, and you can't stop people who find the show vulgar and Christian-baiting, from saying so.

Seems that we can't stop needlebutts from shovin' their repressed anxieties and gutter interpretations at us either. Nor do we want to, as the needlebutts are their own worst enemies.

Rush is very talented, but, in the end, he is as much a hack as Savage. Both use their voice for ratings, Rush tones it down a notch and gets mileage, Savage runs it at full steam and gets what he can before the engine blows.

Is Vin still broadcasting? Great voice.

Pretty slick, though. Slide in on an SP thread where everybody is already at each other's throats and everybody everywhere is a troll or a liberal or something. I've really got to commend this one, even corrected his own spelling mistake!

Yes, sir; we're going to have to sharpen our visual skills and speed reading; the DNC latest "class" must have just graduated. :-)

Telling truth is ...

As someone noted earlier, you would not know the truth (forgot the metaphor). I agree and readers should beware your disingenuous words.

Are we at each other's throats? :-)

I'm actually kind of amused by Painted Death. *LOL* The trolls can be fun that way. :-)

If it seems immoral to Larry Flynt or Barney Frank or Bill Maher, then we may want to put off watching it for a few years anyway...until that too becomes 'just having a little fun'

We're not supposed to have our moral compass set by the 1960s anti-Bible crew that launched this unseemly avalanche.

ROFLMAO; you are pathetic; two posters? On this thread?

Hell, you get that many in a hour! On every thread you post on.

I'm afraid her credibility will take some knocks with the gonzo approach.

I don't like South Park. Too vulgar for me. And I don't like Hollywood ridiculing Jesus Christ. Maybe you work in Hollywood, maybe that's why you don't like me saying something "divisive" about their crappy potty-mouthed shows.

*Snicker*
