Scary and Infuriating!

Wow! Malkin has really hit the spot with this quick, but comprehensive read on how the Democrats and their fellow travellers have lost it since 9/11. By dividing the book into easily digested, topical, anecdotal accounts, she does a wonderful job of capturing how the liberal/left has shown its true colors during one of our nation's most trying times. As I read about the extremism, lies, distortions, ignorance, brutal uncivil behavior, hypocritical doublestandards, and how their "mainstreamers" cover-up or ignore the conduct, I couldn't help but be frightened. I've personally witnessed some of that behavior - it concerned me then, and really bothers me now. As you glide through the pages you can't help but conjure up scenes like the brutal "acts of repudiation" conducted by pro-government crowds against peaceful opponents of Cuba's Marxist dictatorship. It was especially sickening to read how poorly certain Iraq War Veterans were treated simply because they served in or supported the war effort. With this book, Malkin has done us a favor by compiling the absolutely unconscionable behavior of a political movement, and its media facilitators, that daily displays why they shouldn't be given our popular trust. The book will infuriate the liberal/left (witness the poorly disguised disdain shown in the Publishers Weekly review) because it reveals them for what they are. However, it is a timely and necessary product that all common-sense driven Americans should read. Buy it, read it, cringe, then decide for yourself if it isn't a bit "scary and infuriating."

A WAKE-UP CALL TO DEMOCRATS

I had been warned not to read this book because it was just a book that bashed Liberals. In reading it, however, I found that it was really a book about Liberals bashing, maligning and vilifying Conservatives, Republicans, Christians, Red State inhabitants, and specifically President Bush, and his entire administration and anyone else who doesn't think the way they do. Michelle Malkin lets liberals expose themselves by quoting them directly and showing how they think. It is a sad day for America to see how our culture has declined. Civility and respect for fellow Americans has been totally abandoned by many Liberal Democrats. It is not just the fringes either. Malkin quotes leaders of the Democratic Party shouting insults, not only in the heat of campaigns, but also in the halls of congress. Ugly language, profanity and over the top hatred have permeated the psyche of the far left who now control the Democratic Party. Liberal hatred is not confined to rhetoric either. Malkin reports on numerous acts of vandalism, physical attacks, and terrorist acts directed at Republican Headquarters around the country before and after the 2004 election. These acts were not confined to a few loonies but were pervasive and widespread across the country. If acts like these were directed at Democratic Headquarters we would have never heard the end of it by the mainstream media. The fact is that the mainstream media looks the other way, laughs off much of the outrageous speech and behavior of the left as a joke, suggesting the Conservatives have no sense of humor. You will wonder what has happened to decency-to sanity when liberals obsess about assassinating the President, wallow in conspiracy theories, compare America to the worst murderous regimes in the world, and accuse our military of crimes equal to head-severing terrorists. This book should be a wake up call to the Democratic Party. Liberals who have long viewed themselves as compassionate, tolerant, open minded, and smart had better take a long hard look in the mirror and see what they have become.

With Malice Toward None

Ms Malkin was briefly the token conservative at the Seattle Times. For a brief shining moment she added unexpected views and hues to Left Coast media that ride the diversity rainbow from far left to farther left. Before she MovedOn to better places and better things, she introduced me to the Freepers at Free Republic. Like a gifted and patient teacher, Michelle Malkin broadened and expanded my world. That's why her recent book, Unhinged, is as painful as a punch in the face. My mentor in a shared escape from smelly liberal orthodoxy is catching slurs, threats, and assaults that orthodox liberals piously claim to have shunned & shamed out of public life. Sensitive leftists, the tolerant secular fundamentalists who vilify "hate crimes" and "hate speech," are throwing their feces at Michelle Malkin because she dares to care. Because she dares to question and to dissent. Much of Unhinged is familiar to readers and listeners who were liberated from liberalism by gifted teachers like Malkin. Her book retails a canon of anecdote that feeds red meat to AM radio, the Freepers, and blogs such as michellemalkin.com. Ten or fifteen years ago, recycled tales of water buffalo at Penn, burned Reviews at Dartmouth, Jell-o vibrators at UNH, rectal bullwhips, and urine crucifixes filled the Right with the filler of culture war and outrage that Malkin updates here. She piles new but now familiar anecdotes into a roiled pot of pathology that makes old debates about public funding of Mapplethorpe bullwhips look quaint & sedate. Then Malkin's book lurches from pathology to the heart of darkness. There were dark hearts on the Right during Clinton's years, Malkin writes; misfits at Mena and malcontents looking for bodies under every bed or ... Bush. And we're back, sickeningly, in the sick here & now. The Force 5 storm surge of vilification & vituperation blowing against Bush 2.0 is nothing but smiley faces compared to the unhinged hatred thrown at the author of Unhinged. Michelle Malkin deserves the Medal of Freedom that Quincy Bush, preposterously, gave to George Tenet, and she deserves it for hanging on and standing tall. The liberal love letters to Malkin are here, unredacted. Every vile slander & slur of insane projectile liberal spit & bile is here: poems to diversity, love letters to America & to a great American, Michelle Malkin, from the sensitive people, the tolerant people.

Damn the Consequences

Michelle always tells it like it is and damn the consequences. She gets a lot of grief from the liberal lunatic fringe like the ones she describes in her latest book and I admire her courage to confront them. I am a former Marine probably twice her size and I am not sure I would like to take them on. Naturally, not all liberals are crazy. Most of them are just misled by their teachers/professors and the media. This book is about the ones who take things way too seriously and start believing that Republicans and conservatives are not just people who have another point of view but their mortal enemies. Even worse, they take actions based on that extremely distorted and violent view which is too often encouraged by the Michael Moores of the world. If you want to learn just how out-of-touch the far left is then buy this book. None of the stories are fabricated - these are real people showing us how far they will go to deny others the right to dissent. They are Liberal-Nazis. According to these people, free speech is not a right unless your speech agrees with theirs. It's eye-opening and scary.

Truth Drives The Left Wild

Michelle Malkin is rapidly becoming one of top ten bloggers with factual information that adds context to the bias of mainstream media. Her new book goes beyond exposing the bias, and focuses on the unfortunately not-so-isolated cases of liberals gone mad. Some of these barely made the papers, but taken together, they are instructive of a left that has taken on bullying ways to 'sell' its agenda. Obviously, none of this works, and is driving less 'passionate' democrats away enough to turn over the numerical advantage to self-confessed conservatives by about 2:1. And numbers like that only drive the left into even greater rage.
