Malkin and Limbaugh and O'Reilly! Oh my!

Media Matters for America



Between Michelle Malkin Swift Boating a traumatically injured 12-year-old boy, Rush Limbaugh denigrating anti-war veterans, and Bill O'Reilly insulting black Americans (not to mention Ann Coulter dissing Jews), the mighty right-wing media machine -- firmly attached to the hip of the Republican Party -- is in the process of driving American conservatism right off a cliff. The loudmouths whom conservatives have supported for years, and whom Republican politicians have used for political gain, have become increasingly unhinged. And their recent public antics are drawing more and more disbelieving stares.

With the Bush administration in a state of prolonged decline and with Republicans out of power on Capitol Hill, it's the right-wing media machine that maintains the highest profile among conservatives on a daily basis. And it's Malkin and Limbaugh and O'Reilly who have become the face of the Republican Party.

For liberals, that's a good thing, as the GOP is forced to deal with the sludge that keeps washing up on its shores, courtesy of its favorite media stars who now bide their time insulting black entrepreneurs, war vets, and injured children.

2. The GOP hates minorities, women, non-"Christians"..
immigrants, and the other 96.5% of the world. That puts them in quite a position to get a brutal ass beating next year. All of those groups are up and coming and will not vote for a party that believes them to be "inferior". :nopity:
It would be sweet to see the right wing media machine that built of the GOP, now bring it down.

3. And I couldn't be happier.
I never thought I'd be one to eat popcorn while watching a public execution, but I'll lower my standards for people of their ilk. As I was listening to Sam Seder replay Ann Coulter's insult the other night, I realized she had finally done it. I think she realized the same thing, too. And as far as Limbaugh, he deserves the worst fate of all of them. It's one thing to be a crazy, psychotic bitch like Malkin, but Limbaugh has systematically destroyed America over a 20 year period. He is a fucking traitor. No fate I can imagine is too horrific for the likes of him. I realize I sound like a hateful person lately, but hearing about the reich wing picking on that 12-year old boy and his family did it. Anyone who would smear a child is beyond contempt.

5. I agree 100%.
It is heartbreaking to realize that Limbaugh is spewing his hate and phony outrage to dittohead cretins on 600 radio stations every day, while calm, intelligent people have no voice. Over time he, along with Brave Sir Malkin and the emetic Ann Coulter, have so polluted the dialog that now nothing sensible can be said without being shouted down by these deluded fools.

I so badly want one of them - just one, any one - to truly get what is coming to them for these despicable acts and words. Maybe it will be Coulter over her idiotic "perfected Jews" remark.
