The right-wing blogosphere is confused. Here is Michelle Malkin, being confused.
The Obamedia is attempting to set yet another false narrative: The narrative of the McCain “mob.” McCain-Palin rallies are out of control, they wheedle. Conservatives are mad! They’re yelling mean things about Obama and calling him names! It’ scaaaaary!
To clarify:
1. "Wheedle" means something other than what Michelle Malkin thinks it does.
2. There is a difference between the choices made by a political campaign and what random kooks do on their own. Responsible campaigns do not encourage random kooks. The knock on the McCain/Palin campaign is that they are deliberately encouraging random kooks. Which is, in fact, true. Another knock is that in the case of Sarah Palin, they are nominating random kooks.
3. Michelle Malkin for some reason believes that she is not a kook. Is this correct? Let us examine the title of her fucking post:
Crush the Obamedia narrative: Look who’s “gripped by insane rage”
Carefully examine both sides of the colon before answering.
This point no doubt escapes the Right Blogosphere, but the bizarre Ayers fixation, the lunatic stuff about Obama being a stealth Marxist, the imputations of terrorist sympathies, the ACORN bullshit -- or, in other words, exactly those topics upon which the Right Blogosphere mindlessly perseverates -- IS IN FACT THE CRAZY BULLSHIT AT ISSUE.
I'm not sure how more blunt I can be. The McCain/Palin campaign has in the past weeks begun talking the language of the Right Blogosphere, and this has caused their candidates to plummet in the polls and to make even their nominal allies blanch in terror at the sheer lunacy on display.
Sorry, Wingnuttia.
Should have been more civil.
