Memo To Media: The Palin Rape-Kit Story Has Not Been "Debunked"
The press has treated the story as something of a taboo. And the loud, right-wing media claims about it being "debunked" likely add to its untouchable status.

Last week was a perfect example of how the conservative blogosphere's leading lights have been demoted to ridicule, simply because their efforts have become so thoroughly laughable.

Michele Malkin has stepped forward to set the record straight: "illegal immigration, crime-enabling banks, and open-borders Bush policies fueled the mortgage crisis."

Malkin was set off by the Obama People Magazine cover story. Her rant about how stupid all of Obama's supporters are dovetailed perfectly with the latest McCain ad on Obama as mere media personality.

Unlike Rice and Powell, Clinton and Obama want to wield the power themselves, and they make no bones about it. This is a radical shift in establishment Washington's racial/sexual dynamic.

It suits the standards of the chatterati for a multimillionaire beer heiress with nine homes to assume the role of First Lady, but a self-made, Ivy League educated lawyer? Times haven't changed so much after all.

Yesterday, she posted an interview with the Obamas during which Barack made tuna fish sandwiches for his family with chopped-up gherkins and wrote, "(D)on't ask me what those are, I have no idea."

Over the last several months, as Obama's popularity has grown, Republican hacks have tried to put their finger on exactly why the Democratic nominee bugs them. We like to call them the "Ism-ists."

As discussion swirls around 'fist-bumps' and so-called 'news stations' labeling the next potential First Lady as 'Obama's Baby Mama' let us all be very clear: racism is not ok just because it's on Fox.

Terrorist fist jabs and terrorist scarves -- the Right has become a red-faced, tantrum-throwing brat screeching because it's not getting its way. This is all they have.

The Onion has bought out ABC's news division. That was my first thought when I read Rachael Ray, the talk-show host... is a terrorist sympathizer?

"Backlash terrorism" is not considered a crime, but it should be. Including when TV talk show hosts are accused of supporting terrorism by sporting "jihadi chic" clothing.

Perhaps Michelle Malkin and her conservative cohorts found Obama's comments on sex education so disturbing because of the president's oh-so impressive record on the issue.

Are there no "conservative" commentators in this great nation of our country other than the beamingly repellent, the almost-indicted, and the smugly dishonest?
