just a grassroots effort to save those rich folks from the tax burdens imposed on them by mean liberals.
Matt Taibbi's glorious rant on Malkin in 2009 is worth revisiting for this description:
And that’s fine, good for her. But that doesn’t make her readable. However, this move of hers to spearhead the teabag movement really adds an element to her writing that wasn’t there before. Now when I read her stuff, I imagine her narrating her text, book-on-tape style, with a big, hairy set of balls in her mouth. It vastly improves her prose.
Now think about that when considering this little slam later in the clip, where Hannity brings up signs seen at the Wisconsin protests that say things like "Death to Tyrants" or "Walker the Mubarak of the Midwest." Granted, these are not very nice things to say, but then...Governor Walker is not being a very nice person. Telling workers to take their union contracts and shove 'em is hardly my idea of having an adult conversation. But listen to Malkin indulge herself in some projection while accusing Democrats and union members of the same thing. Hannity says the media is "virtually silent on this (the signs) and asks for Malkin's reaction:
Yes, well, it's a tactic they always use. It was born of an entire Alinsky strategy, of demonizing and marginalizing the left's opponents. It's what they always do. And what they've always engaged in is this massive, chronic psychological projection, accusing their opponents of what they fundamentally do to fight for their power grabs and for their power agenda. That's really what it's all about.
And it's interesting to hear some of these Big Labor thugs defend what they're doing in Wisconsin, demonizing Governor Walker, trying to prank him, trying to embarrass him, trying to distract him from being an adult and that's what the voters of Wisconsin wanted -- adults.
And this big temper tantrum just shows you that there are no adults in Washington, there are no adults in the Democrat party. These people are still in their Huggies PullUps crying all the way.
Er, yes. Pullups. Democrat party. Alinsky strategy. Yes, that's really adult, don't you think?
I have three words for Michelle Malkin with regard to her whining about projection, punking and adult behavior.
ACORN.
Sherrod.
Breitbarted.
That is all.
