"But now, we have establishment Republicans parroting liberal ad hominem rhetoric: Talk-radio hosts are talentless blabbermouths. Their listeners are mind-numbed robots. Or, as supposed free-market conservative and McCain supporter Phil Gramm put it in his broadside against talk radio in the Washington Post last week: "They say they have principles, but some of it is their ego and power, too. They're well-known, and they're used to having power."
Hearing this "pit bull" of the conservative right wing pols, "trash-talking GOP politicians and pundits" is music to my ears.
Rising in the defense of conservative talk radio Malkin offers this:
"In major metropolitan U.S. cities, conservative talk radio offers rare relief from liberal orthodoxy — and local talk show hosts have spearheaded effective activism."
Liberal Orthodoxy?? That's the cutest oxymoron I've heard in a long time. Orthodoxy is the exact opposite of Liberalism! She doesn't even know her "enemy!" Activism yes, but wingnut radio got way past that a LONG time ago.
Hearing Malkin's version of the high ground is interesting. Evidently she considers herself an avocate of "free-market conservatism" holding legitimate opinions and points of view. I have no doubt that Michelle is smart and does the best she can to advocate her political views, she made her bed. She has been the leader of the "trash liberals" at any cost wingnut blogging community. Anything goes when it's the enemy. Name-calling with the best, fast and loose with facts and context, she got her "Pit Bull of the Right-Wing Blogosphere" honestly. Now that broadsides have been fired at her from her own side, she's squirming a little. Delightful!
