I think it is time for Michelle Malkin to stand tall and thank the countless democrats and moderate republicans who have fought so valiantly in this country for the civil rights she so thoroughly uses to wipe herself after dropping nuggets of croprolalia like the following :
[via Michelle Malkin: JUST A YELLOW WOMAN DOING A WHITE MAN'S JOB [1]]:
The racist and sexist "yellow woman doing a white man's job" knock is a tiresome old attack from impotent liberals that I've tolerated a long time. It is pathetic that I have to sit here and tell you that my ideas, my politics, and my intellectual capital are mine and mine alone in response to cowardly attacks from misogynistic moonbats with Asian whore fixations. My IQ, free will, skin color, eye shape, productivity, sincerity, and integrity are routinely ridiculed or questioned because I happen to be a minority conservative woman. As a public figure, I am willing to take these insults, but I cannot tolerate the smearing of my loved ones. Because I have always been open and proud about his support for my career, my husband has taken endless, hate-filled abuse from my critics. His Jewish heritage, his decision to be a stay-at-home dad, and even his looks, are the subject of brutal mockery.
I have resisted writing about this artifact of the extreme right since the day I met her at one of those many journalism clusterfucks bloggers get invited once in a while. But now, I'm mad. Some asshole reader of hers created a false trackback to my site to link to a link I made to a Liberal Avenger's blogpost about her husband's ghost writing propinquities. [2]
Want to wrap your mind around that one? I am in the same school of thought as Eric Muller [3] that the color of her skin and her good looks is what makes her so palatable to her apologists. That's why you'd have someone go through the baroque technological maneuvering of creating a trackback falsely coming from my blog. You know, so she can keep a record of all the posts that allegedly are part of her online martyrdom.

While you check that out, let me explain to you why I am in the middle of Michelle Malkin's racialist madness :
Last year I stumbled upon Liberal Street Fighter's post about his suspicions concerning Malkin's publishing bounty. Not only was she allegedly caffeinated enough to publish over three thousand posts in one year but the year before she was able to write through her pregnancy and delivery her book on the Japanese internment camps. Malkin's Watch [5] has a point by point recap about the whole ghost blogging and writing issue.
Now, some people would just shrug their shoulders and say, so what. The problem with la Malkin, or should I say 'the Malkins' are a cog in a serious race-baiting machine. Ms. Malkin, the journo, is not a blogger. Actually, at the event in which I had the misfortune to meet her, she poo-pooed blogs as the tools of wannabes. This was, after all, before the Powerline's ennabling of the Swift Boat Liars and it's own roveing of the fonts during Rathergate.
Ms. Malkin at that time (this was a little over a year ago) was one of those many whiners about 'the liberal media', but, in truth, she really had not mastered the art of the outsider. With the appearance of the blog, she came to full bloom.
Anybody that has been an actor and has auditioned for either a movie or TV knows there is an unwritten rule about race on mass media : there can only be one of each colored type. You can't have too many colored people on TV on one show because it makes it an "urban show". If you think I am being paranoid about this, just check out through the wonderful snark of Fourfour what Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks have to say about that [6]. (Shout out to the fours!)
Naomi had her Tyra but Malkin stands uncontested. She in syndicated in thousands of newspapers across the country. She gets unprecedented TV access from news and pundit shows on a constant basis. Her book authoring is now legendary. And in between publishing, punditry and breastfeeding, she manages to find the time to also travel across the country, paid for to repeat the bile she gets paid to publish on the blogosphere and elsewhere.
Where is the liberal dark-skinned Filipino woman to counter this facists' wet-dream?
Yeah. I thought so.
This sounds pathetically simplistic but racism calls forth primal urges, all involving FEAR and HATE. No matter how many logical counterpoints David Neiwert use to fisk the Malkins' [7], the fact of the matter is that she can always scream 'racist' and get away with it. Put a Chinese woman against her and she can still cry bias --she can say they hate her because they look at her as an inferior. A black woman? She does not understand the Asian experience. A Latina? Same deal.
It's a stroke of genius whosoever thought of grooming this thing called Malkin, to appear as the 'minority' counter-voice of the civil rights movement. Every time an Eric Muller tries to make reason out of her lunacy, she can claim racism/sexism/bias in one big swoop. And in doing so, call forth the heroic feelings of assholes who would go out of their way to fake a trackback from this blog to hers just to protect her.
Which is why whenever I hear a left/progressive/liberal guy say that "visibility equals talent" in the blogging and publishing world I want to fucking scream. Yeah, well, there's quite a number of white guys out there in the blogosphere who call themselves liberals who write crap and get hits galore. If you can justify so called liberal assholes who think they invented blogging, then you can justify the spawming of media creatures like Malkin.
The fact of the matter is that Repugs have been incredibly successful at getting a rainbow coalition of hate behind their policies and politics : Condoleeza Rice, Alberto Gonzales, Michelle Malkin, Mary Cheney, Ken Mehlman --and these are really just a few. We're talking from staffers on the hill to judges in state supreme courts and appelate divisions, the extreme right has brought out the color and queer in facist politics. They poured millions to this effort, from fellowships to book deals to conference tours. And they've been doing this for years.
As Tyra would say, it's time to represent.
