Yet another intrepid Malkin 'investigative scoop' goes pffffft
Did someone in the Obama administration force Chrysler, as part of its reorganization, to order the closure of auto dealerships mostly among Republicans, while leaving Democratic-owned dealerships intact?
Naaaah. What, are you kidding me? But, you know, it sounded really good to Michelle Malkin. Mostly because she loves to fancy herself an "investigative journalist" and these kinds of "scoops" entrance her on a regular basis. Of course, the fact that none of them ever pan out seems not to deter her in the slightest.
Malkin, along with her intrepid pals at Newsbusters and a variety of other right-wing blogs, were all over it yesterday. Malkin appeared on Fox and Friends in the morning to tout her latest liberal-perfidy theory.
Too bad it took only a flick of Nate Silver's wrist to blow it all to smithereens. Seems that when you go looking at political donations by occupation, people who list "auto dealers" or some variation thereof are Republican by about an 8-1 margin:
Overall, 88 percent of the contributions from car dealers went to Republican candidates and just 12 percent to Democratic candidates. By comparison, the list of dealers on Doug Ross's list (which I haven't vetted, but I assume is fine) gave 92 percent of their money to Republicans -- not really a significant difference.
There's no conspiracy here, folks -- just some bad math.
It shouldn't be any surprise, by the way, that car dealers tend to vote -- and donate -- Republican. They are usually male, they are usually older (you don't own an auto dealership in your 20s), and they have obvious reasons to be pro-business, pro-tax cut, anti-green energy and anti-labor. Car dealerships need quite a bit of space and will tend to be located in suburban or rural areas. I can't think of too many other occupations that are more natural fits for the Republican Party.
You can just toss this one on the ashheap of such discarded Malkin "investigative scoops" as the General Ripperesque notion that the Flight 93 memorial is actually a tribute to the terrorists or that a suicide bomber in Oklahoma was the forerunner of an Islamic conspiracy there. She likewise groundlessly attacked the Pulitzer winner in photography as a secret Jihadi sympathizer; attacked USA Today with conspiratorial accusations for a badly retouched photo; and perhaps most notoriously, tried to ferret out a nefarious conspiracy by the Associated Press in Baghdad that turned out to be completely false. Though perhaps nothing quite matches her attack on a 12-year-old that again turned out to be a case of overwrought right-wing fantasizing. But then, that incident pretty much was a case of self-immolation.
Steve Benen and Bob Cesca have more.

I mean I know she's this idiot bimbo who regularly gets her name plastered all over hell and the outback but where are her creds as a "journalist" and who decided some shrieking harpy was good TV?

1. She doesn't have any journalistic credibility.
2. Nonetheless, given the current state of journalism in this country, she's probably not far behind the pack.
She gets her journalistic credibility from the same place as Hannity, Beck, O'Mousedick, David Gregory, John King, Lou Dobbs and Greta Von Cistern.
Does that matter? She screams conspiracy, she agitates, she shills for the right, etc., does it matter? This is what the MSM needs to have to give you that warm, fuzzy, fair and balanced feeling. Doncha' feel it? If MM didn't upset the left like she does and wind up the right, nobody would care, NO-BOD-EEE! Like me, I don't care!
She doesn't matter one whit to me. She can spew, spew, spew and I am not listening. Under these circumstances, why would ANY-ONE?

Like you said there's no mythical basis for the lack of shadow or reflection, but Malkin interpreted Obama as Son of the Devil (not Muslim). So keeping with standard demonology she made this a feature of her Nobama, which made sense, since it is said in one part that he attended a Scholomance of the Devil in the mountains in the south Kenya, thus implying he could've sold his soul or abtained a Hawaiian birth certificate.

This latest conspiratorial prattling not withstanding, I find it increasingly more and more laughable that people continue to take Malkin, and her like-minded compatriots, seriously. The more that they are shown to be the ill-informed and irrelevant masses that they are, they continually try and leep over one another simply to see who can be on the "top of the seething pile" the longest.
But here's where the sad part comes in. Those that do continue to believe her, those that honestly believe that she is a "journalist" and the her website and Fox"News" are a source of credible information will give rise to further generations that will continually dumb-down what it means to be a real journalist and what it takes to run an honest, credible, news channel.
Then again, it could be the opposite, as future generations will have learned that Malkin, Fox, and their ilk are not to be taken seriously at all.

What Malkin is doing is known as projection. She knows that a Republican would make sure the dealerships that supported Democrats were closed and she would support that decision. Of course if a Republican President would do it, it only makes sense that a Democratic President would also.
Why should she worry her little head with actual facts supported by reasonably analyzed data?
Everything I need to know about her is perfectly captured in that screen grab.
I haven't watched this video so I don't know exactly how much of the interview is here. I did see the whole thing when it was on tv and when she read the letter they had recieved she made the weirdest damn face I have ever seen. She made her face appear to be rubber.

I'm starting to see a pattern here.
Barack Obama: Change we can only imagine
are owned by Pukes. 88%, actually.
The bidness is extremely cash-heavy, what with facilities and floor-planning and shit. Mainly it's Pukes who hang around with the banksters; they belong to the same country clubs...
If they just shut down the ones run by Dims, it wouldn't have very much effect.
That his own Chrysler dealership was closing and it was Obama's fault. A couple of salient points: It is corporate Chrysler deciding which dealerships are to close, not the Obama administration, a point Olbermann inexcusably failed to mention last night and second, the Republican congressman from Florida voted "no" with the rest of the GOP on auto maker bailout.
Barack Obama: Change we can only imagine
You must have missed it because Keith did point out that the congressman voted against the bailout to begin with. If the republiKKKons had won that vote, all car dealers with US cars would close.
of car dealerships owned by Repubs, 90% of the dealerships closed should be Repub right?
So how does it figure that 99.99% of them were Repub owned. Using basic match with 789 dealerships closed approx 79 would be expected to be Dem owned, but they only found one?
and the Puke ones were run as tax-write-offs?
Jaysus, tjbb, yer dumber than shit, aincha?
... the majority of dealerships are owned by Republicans, it's a socialist plot, but the Democrats didn't GIVE them the dealerships, so it must be the free market, right?
How is this a conspiracy, again?

All I have in the upper left of the articles now is the C&L Mascot. I can no longer access the videos or even see the screen captures.
It's a damned liberal plot, that's what it is.
Little has been said about the fact that the current Chrysler CEO, and former, and fired, CEO of Home Depot (albeit with a $40-50 million severance package), and 'passed-over' heir to Jack Welsh at GE (hell even that SOB could spot a loser when he saw one) would have long since seen to it that no dealership in their network would be allowed to remain around if they gave money to any Democrat. You see Nardelli was one of Bush/Cheney's more aggressive, and successful, Rangers. He brought in tens and tens of millions in 2004 alone, so it ain't likely that these guys would have had much of a choice. Didn't buy 'em much though, did it? As for Nardelli, anybody check his Chrysler 'walking away' money yet?

You know what I find funny about all this....is that finding out that 80%- 90% of dealers donated to the GOP, but wasn't it the GOP in the beginning telling the Obama Admin not to bailout GM and Chrysler?
Now the people on the right are thinking it's a conspiracy that a lot of dealers that donated to their party are being closed. What do they think happens when a company files for bankruptcy?
I am wondering if the GOP is wishing that they didn't campaign so hard on that "don't bailout GM or Chrysler" knowing now that a huge chuck of them donated to their party. lolololol
She can open her mouth so wide. Makes me feel so inadequate.
