The Ogre's Trumpet Blaring

Malkin won't give up, which would be a testament to her determination if it weren't instead a testament to the fact that she's nuts -- a nuttiness expressed not least in her firm conviction that she's the real victim in the Frost affair. She is the target of the wicked liberals, the person subject to the smear job, the one being lied about. Didn't the "moonbats" publish her home address yet once more, huh? Huh?

Well, one guy did. Of course, as Jon Swift reports (he's a real reporter, you know, as are all reasonable conservatives who know how to access the internet):

is such an extreme conservative that he is sometimes mistaken for an extreme liberal. He is a Christian who calls himself “right-leaning.” He is against abortion and thinks homosexuality is “sick and repulsive” (“If you’re queer, you don’t belong here,” he says.) He is against neoconservatives (preferring the “paleoconservatism” of Pat Buchanan) and believes the Iraq War was a mistake but is opposed to pulling out now.

Sorry, guys, but he's not in point of fact one of ours. But Malkin does have her defenders on the right, to balance out the one guy on the right who gave out her home address. (I still wouldn't give that out, by the way, but it should be pointed out that if I applied the same standards to her that she's applying to the Frosts, she's "fair game" to do so. After all, that would just be reporting, not intimidation.)

These Malkin-protectors are all pretty hilarious, but my favorite so far is Robert Stacy McCain. It's not so much that McCain seems to think that Malkin has gotten the "facts" right so far and liberals haven't, it's that claims liberas hate her because they're racists: "She is routinely hit with racial and sexual insults from 'progressives' who otherwise pride themselves on their opposition to racism and sexism."

See, this is funny, because Mr. Stacy McCain has been known to have a wee bit of a problem with the "racism" thing himself:

So, let’s   take a look at the views and not-so-hidden agenda of one of the actual editors   of the paper, specifically, assistant national editor Robert Stacy McCain, who   has a habit of posting commentary on message boards and elsewhere around the   Internet:

"[T]he   media now force interracial images into the public mind and a number of perfectly   rational people react to these images with an altogether natural revulsion.   The white person who does not mind transacting business with a black bank clerk   may yet be averse to accepting the clerk as his sister-in-law, and THIS IS NOT   RACISM, no matter what Madison Avenue, Hollywood and Washington tell us."

Yes, you   read that right: a "natural revulsion" and "THIS IS NOT RACISM."

That was   posted by Robert Stacy McCain (who has contributed to New York Press in   the past) on a website called Reclaiming the South. The Washington   Times editor posts a lot on the right-wing FreeRepublic.com as well, using   an assumed name (BurkeCalhounDabney) but often linking back to his personal   website, where there are photos of him and the rest of his large family of Seventh   Day Adventists (and which identifies him by his real name and as a Washington   Times editor). Editor McCain, who hails from Rome, GA, is one of those Confederate   types who still hasn’t gotten over the Civil War and is trying to get the   South to secede. He’s a member of a Southern secessionist organization   called League of the South. Here’s a quote from that group’s leader,   Michael Hill:

"The   day of Southern guilt is over–THE SOUTH WAS RIGHT–and let us not forget   that salient fact. NO APOLOGIES FOR SLAVERY should be made. In both the Old   and New Testaments slavery is sanctioned and regulated according to God’s   word. Thus, when practiced in accord with Holy Scripture, it is NOT A SIN. Our   ancestors were not evil men because they held slaves. This issue is our Achilles   Heel, and the only way to deal with it is to confront our accusers boldly and   without guilt. After all, what we are really upholding is GOD’S WORD. Let   us fear Him, and we’ll fear no man"....

McCain,   an editor and sometimes commentator at a paper that the gay Andrew Sullivan,   the African-American Thomas Sowell and other right-leaning members of minority   groups are only too happy to write columns for and take cash from, believes   that Abraham Lincoln was a "war criminal" who should have been tried   for "treason." (His reasoning, he writes, is that Lincoln and the   Northerners were the true racists; something tells me–actually, studying   his other comments and affiliations is what tells me–that that is not the   real reason at all.)

In his Web   postings McCain has stated that Harvard president Lawrence Summers should be   "persecuted and run out of town" for supporting gay rights. He also   believes that the civil rights movement directly resulted in "black criminality"   because people were encouraged to break the law by getting arrested at demonstrations!

"I   am disturbed…by [Jesse] Jackson’s idea that ‘breaking white folks’   rules’ was somehow inherently just," he wrote on FreeRepublic.com.   "If rules were to be broken merely because they were work of white folks,   then hasn’t Jackson gone a long way toward explaining the explosion of   black criminality that began in the 1960s? This shows how the civil rights movement,   to a great extent, represented a direct assault on tradition and law."

These viewpoints   offer background for and insight into some of McCain’s pieces in The   Washington Times. This past October he warned about the "Backlash   Building in White America," as the headline of his article blared, and   he interviewed and promoted an obscure professor who claimed "that society   should combat white nationalists in part by acknowledging the legitimacy of   some of their grievances" and that white nationalism is "the monster   that identity politics created." (Yes, blame it all on blacks themselves!)

Some of   McCain’s Washington Times articles are reprinted, presumably with   his and his paper’s permission, on a creepy website called American   Renaissance (to which McCain has written at least one letter to the editor,   offering "warm congratulations" on an article). Here’s what the   respected Southern Poverty Law Center has to say about that site: "Edited   by white separatist Jared Taylor, American Renaissance is a magazine   with a highfalutin tone that links IQ levels to racial groups and promotes eugenics,   the ‘science’ of improving the human race through selective breeding."

And if Mr. Stacy McCain wants to get all pissy that someone is reminding him of this Michelangelo Signorile piece yet again, he ought to remember that he is "fair game" and the only person he can blame is the Washington Moonie Times, which has thrust him upon the national stage for obviously sinister purposes. Quick, someone find out what kind of car he drives. This is vital information.

This reads like that Dave Chappelle skit, xcpt with Clarence Thomas negro uppitiness.

What's particularly scary is they are not even trying to cover it up anymore. They feel as if they have carte blanche to make these hateful statements and then feel aggrieved when called on them.

Is it too early to start drinking?

Well, when "it's all about me", it all makes sense.

IIRC, most of us moonbats, when moved to insult the wingnuts, are perfectly happy to stand behind our fulminations.

OTOH, I'd be a millionaire if I had a quatloo for every wingnut who said something vicious and hateful about one librul or another, who then proceeded to turn on a dime and insist that his recent statement comparing said librul to a subhuman species was actually nothing of the sort.

That river in Egypt gets qute a workout when these clowns are on the case.

Blows that "Heritage, not Hate" shit out of the water, doesn't it. Every time I drive by a house flying that noxious flag down here in Purtysister, NC, I find myself trying to come up with some way to saturate it with goat piss. But I suppose it serves a useful community function by notifying everybody that a gun wielding cousin-humping sack of recessive traits lives there.

Coozledad, you are so right! I used to think, when I passed these motherfuckers with the confederate license plates, that they were spitting at me. After a while, I realized it was just the drool blowing off their gaping maws as I drove by. Thanks for the more vivid description.

Hell, down here in the Sunshine State, someone started a grassroots effort to get the Legislature to approve a Confederate flag "specialty" license plate.

I think my state is really the dumbest of all of them.

As a fellow Floridian, I concur. And not only dumbest, but batshit craziest as well.
