One guess what Michelle Malkin's new website name is.....
HOTAIR.com ... no joke.

Previously full of shit, now new and improved with hot air.

btw, please do not visit the site as I would never encourage anyone to go to a freeper site.

1. Why do you discourage posters from visiting the site?
That makes no sense. Even if you don't agree with her pov, which I don't, there is a saying that your keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

2. Same reason that I would discourage
friends to swim in a septic tank.

6. It's important to listen to the opposing viewpoints of our fellow...
...citizens, then contemplate our own views and reconcile the differences. If we cease to carry on a national debate and give up attempts at reaching concensus, our country will inevitably fall. You might not want to swim in a septic tank, but try to live without one. Even a septic tank has its place in the overall scheme of things.

7. So, if a Nazi is giving a rant about killing Jews, we should listen?
Some viewpoints--especially from fascists like Coulter and Malkin--are not worth anyone's time. There is no debate with cretins like that. There will be no consensus.

We are in a battle for our very freedom. If you foolishly choose to legitimize people like Malkin, you don't get it yet.

14. Of course we should listen....
...the best defense is a good offense. A head in the sand attitude is dangerous. We don't have to buy into the rhetoric, but there is no way to form a counter strategy without hearing the argument.

17. You might have a point, if Malkin had an "arguement".
But she doesn't- all she has is inflammatory bullshit;
nonsense and buzzwords and hate, (oh my!)

You cannot afford to waste time formulating a rational response
to non-rational, meaningless nonsense.
It's apples and oranges.

You CANNOT refute her premise,
because she doesn't frickin' HAVE one!

There simply is no "there" there.

19. But the fact of the matter is, MM's agruments are appealing to a large
audience of conservatives, and for that reason you must understand what her appeal is and figure out a way to counter it. I wouldn't listen to her regularly because you are right, she is very inflammatory, but it doesn't take long to figure someone like her out. She is like a broken record. Countering her arguments would be child's play. I could kick the shit out of her in a debate on this board in a New York minute. If we had to write our arguments down, it would take out some of the reactionary bullshit that she throws up. But since she lives in an echo chamber, that's not possible.

9. Because websites get "support" and often $$ based on "clicks"/views.

16. Good point. I have only gone to her site once when a link was provided...
...however I have listened to her pov and found it to be quite extreme. I wouldn't frequent her site however, because she really is not the type of person that I care to follow. She's too stupid. I don't take her seriously. I do go to the Drudge site frequently though, and he is considered conservative. I do enjoy some conservative commentators, even though I may strongly disagree with them. But MM is not one that I enjoy. With all the nonsense going on lately, like the war and immigration, I see some common ground between some conservatives and some liberals, and a disgust for the Washington pols among both groups. It gives me hope that somehow we can come together and clean up the government.

15. Speaking of septic tanks...
About all one is going to encounter there are turds.

Why "reconcile our differences" with turds? They don't give a shit. They ARE shit! :evilgrin:

24. Turds also have a tendency to float through DU every now and again.
(profanity alert) Fuck MM and her propagandic bullshit.

She and any one who listens to her are fucked in the head beyond redemption. we should dump and fling as much nasty BULLshit at them as they do at us. (no, make that 1,000 times as much)

It's a shit-flinging contest, that's all. That's what corporate media whores like MM want to do, fling shit and get serious-minded folks upset and waste their time in "dialog". Do sane people try to talk policy and seek common ground with a screeching shit-flinging monkey? I daresay not.

She's only fucking with us. She's only as serious as a whore who pretends to have an orgasm for the bucks you toss him/her. We should tell her and her ilk to fuck-off, or just fling the shit right back at them til they learn to knock it the fuck off. Those are the only rational options.

21. Ms. Malkin is far from a 'fellow citizen' with an opposing viewpoint.
She's a crackpot.

22. The world is full of crackpots, that's true, however she is still a fellow
citizen. You might not want to accept that fact, but it's true. Ted Nugent is also your fellow citizen, and he is an even bigger crackpot. What to do? That's America for ya!

3. I guess you just run out of bullshit at some point.
And call it what it is....I see Chomsky on that page. Why are Rwers so obsessed with Chomsky? I mean he's okay, but you get this feeling that he alone is respected because of his considerable academic achievements, like they actually think of themselves as intellectuals and Chompsy alone is on a par, while they swallow the most egregious bullshit.

4. the closer someone gets to describing reality
the more venomous their attacks become. Al Gore is already being compared to Hitler.

10. God, you're right!
I was just thinking about that...And how I NEVER in a million years thought there would be a war on reality at the beginning of the 21st century. I thought we'd be dealing with resource issues, it would be a little shaky, but also exciting. But DAMN!

20. You are right. She just recycles the same old sh*t again and again.
It is tiresome. I don't know how anyone could tolerates her, let alone follow her, but politics makes strange bedfellows. She is so static, but people do enjoy living in echo chambers because then their egos never have to deflate. What a waste of time.

29. *sigh* For the 1000th time: If you start a thread about Michelle Malkin...
you MUST include the photo:



Check the DU rules on that. It's in there somewhere.

31. She's never looked lovelier.
A great photo can capture the essence of a person's soul.

Or whatever it is in Michelle's case.
