Michelle Malkin: I'm No South Park Conservative

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)

I wonder if there is a list of shows that Conservatives are allowed and not allowed to watch?

I didn't see Laura's performance, but I have to agree with many that when she dances half-naked on stage while playing with sex toys, all in front of an audience of 4 year olds. . . disgusting!

now she can go back to defending the use of internment camps during WWII
Malkin, IMO, has been good on taking a tough stance against Islamofacism and securing the borders. When she becomes an every-day pundit on the issue of the moment she tends to get wobbly. I'm only interested in Malkin if she's talking about putting Muslims or illegals in camps.

I don't want to be the one to break this if no else has noticed yet, but South Park seems to make fun of Republicans a lot, too. Why the haste to claim it as a conservative show?
To: Coastal
Thank you, thank you, thank you Michelle. I had not seen this column when I said essentially the same thing
here.Let the whining of those who will laugh at anything because they are told it is funny continue.

So by her rational we should gather up every muslim in the this country and ship them to Manzanar? There is still a lot of open land there.
I think this country can do better than that.

Tell me, if you don't mind, did calling Peach a "faux Christian" give you a rush or did it just give you that warm, fuzzy morally superior feeling so many of you seem to crave?

I've read a lot of stuff on here these last few days; in fact, I bet I have read the word "masturbate" 10,000 times; I couldn't possibly count the number of times I've read "jerking off." And "penis" -- well, how many stars are in the galaxy?
All posted by the very people who are so "o-ffended" by Laura's remarks. And I am positive they were SMILING when they posted them.

I didn't know Michelle was so uptight. She's really hung up on "horse masturbation", even though the joke was about milking a hosre, not jerking one off. Didn't it ever occour to her the First Lady was talking about a mare? (that's a girl horse for you city folks)

Naw just send them north to Canada and south to mexico.

This is expected to be a low to medium volume ping list.
Create a South Park character of yourself.
To: Coastal
I do agree with Michelle Malkin about holding profanity and coarse jokes to a minimum but I part company with her in being always overly polite to the Left. There's no question sometimes they deserve to be horse-whipped.

I understand your sentiments, but I'll withhold judgment for the time. We may find out she was right.

I can't help but wonder if the "South Park Conservative" movement in the Republican party won't mean a swell for the Constitution Party. The current right is a coalition only a few decades old and could break down. Not that this is a good thing, since a third party still cannot compete on the national level, and we all know what a loss for the Republicans would mean.
I saw a lot of Christians called "right-wing" and extremist on the other Malkin thread for defending their particular standard of decency, but I don't think it's a matter of them being more extreme as much as where their priorities are. Some conservatives would like to see a return to Christian values, some just want a strong defence, some could care less about morals and just don't want to pay taxes. I don't think whichever priorities one chooses makes him or her any more right-wing than others. An atheistic conservative can be an extremist too.
To: Coastal
When is she going to go away?
*yawn*
