its Michelle Malkin, not exactly a person whose opinion I’m going to take seriously 

Wait, how is what Malkin said sexist or mysoginistic? She said they are party tools.

Sorry, I just don’t see how this one tweet by Michelle is sexist. 

Nobody cares about Malkin.

Is that a still photo of Malkin from Mashed-Up-Bag-of-Meat the Press?

Because if we’re discussing Malkin’s fraudulent claims of being a victim of sexism, I’ve got Exhibit A right here.

Michelle Malkin is a joke. Do people still take her seriously? She may be the angriest “pundit” out there. It looks like her head is going to explode every time she talks.

She’s the type of person that goes to one of the most liberal colleges (Oberlin) in the country and complains about it being liberal.

What exactly is sexist about that tweet?

she is one nasty looking woman

I love Michelle Malkin.  As far as Megaton McCain, if she can dish it, she better be able to take it.

Exactly – “party tool” is a non-gender specific pejorative. Unless *any* criticism of *any* female (even by another female) is now considered to be misogynistic. Sheesh.

What is sexist?  Calling Meghan a tool is not sexist since it could be used to describe a similarly useles man who lacked any real accomplishment or insight.  Ditto with Fluke ‘making up’ massive birth control costs, when instead it’s $10/month.  

Actually, I think it’s a little sexist that Malkin can’t call out women simply because they are women. 

 i guess you love listening for opinions from MEghan.  Name one time she fought against the liberals and gave an argument you said afterwards …wow impressive, she did a great job. 
Take a look at Dick Cheneys daughter.  She can talk about any issue with substance not fluff. 

who said megan mccain or Cheney’s daughters were more or less credible? 

I do not understand how any woman can abort a baby for contraceptive reasons. She should be ‘fixed’ at the same time she aborts.Abortion is murder.

I couldn’t believe the level of stupidity for Meghan McCain.  This just takes the cake.  Its not about getting along with people you disagree with.  I do that all the time.  This is something far different but i guess Mediaite and many in the left don’t report these very easily researched story’s.    
Look at the relationship between Ms Fluke and SKD knickenbocker. Then look at the relationship between Hillary Rosen and SKD.  Also Hillary and the Whitehouse.  Then look who is Rosens boss at SDK, Ms ANita DUnn.  What job did Anita Dunn just leave at the WHite House?  What is the mission of SKD Knickenbocker?  If Meghan Mccain is oblivious to all of this she lost the last shred of any credibility she had left with me.  The word clueless now has a photo of Meghan next to it. 

So Michelle Malkin is a vindictive bitch huh…..who knew…

hey, she’s got to tow that party line or she won’t be employed.

 She can talk about any issue with substance not fluff.
I guess you are right.
Bull$hit IS a substance.

“Party tool” is not a sexist insult, but “bitch”, on the other hand…wait, this must be the “new civility” that libs keep preaching about. 

what Alfred replied I’m amazed that some people can profit $6887 in 1 month on the internet. have you read this site link ==>> http://earn2usd.blogspot.com 

I dunno…calling her a bitch is the same as calling you a dick or something,not really sexist,just a basic insult.

And “Fluke” sounds fittingly like “fluff”.

 That Ben doesn’t understand the hypocrisy is astounding, great catch Tax Man.

That makes two of us then. She’s pretty hot though.

as Gloria implied I didn’t even know that some people can earn $4917 in four weeks on the computer. did you read this webpage ==>> http://earn2usd.blogspot.com 

this immigrant is satan in disguise. when are they going to deport this witch back to #ell!

Sean Hannity does. Now there is a pair to draw to.

Michelle Malkin = Conservative Prostitute who will say anything so NUTTERS keep buying her crap the same way Limbaugh does

Tax DOOOSH … Funny that only Republicans keep refering to a mythical vow by libs to be civil …

Malkin is an idiot who uses the Limbaugh crowd to make money …

Driven to DOOOSH … if it were only hypocrisy .. you see for hyypocrisy to be present .. libs would have to WHINE incessantly the way republicans do .. since that is not the case .. no hypocrisy

Melanie .. it appears your mother ‘fixed” you at birth as an idiot

Is there any more vile human than Michelle Malkin? Except, of course, Rush Limbaugh and Newton Leroy Gingrich.

Slow news day Amy?

she is truly the damien omen of the GOPea brains whom they will disown the 2nd she disagrees w/them after licking their a**es. people like her, allen west, herman cain are the GOP’s house ni**ers & tokens. they clearly represent the true identity of the republicans! *itchy, racist, h8ters, ignorant, low 2 no intelligence, evil, degenerates, heartless liars.
they bash Obama about every little thing literally. “he’s politicizing bin laden’s death” ya darn tootin he’s talking about it! he has that right. “it was bush’s policies”  no. it was the navy seals & Obama who succeeded in handling their business in less than 1 year. bush had  7yrs. he had no intentions of going after bin laden. that was confirmed when after over 3,000 americans died on 9/11 & thousands of troops were sent into a 10yr war loosing thousands there or troops coming home 2, 3, 4 time amputees 6 month after 9/11 bush said he “is “TRULY NOT THAT CONCERNED” with catching BIN LADEN.”
willard said in 2007 “it’s a waste of time & money going after 1 person”  bush used 9/11 in a campaign ad for re-election.

romney will be in NY tomorrow with Giuliani. that is politicizing 9/11.
this woman spends 99% of her time being evil. most people probably think the anti-christ is a man. i’m convinced the anti-christ is this woman or she is a close sister of the anti-christ.  i hope she’s an atheist. then perhaps on judgement day her behind will be thrown in the part of #ell that’s not burning to much.

Better not call Donna Brazille a DEM tool- because then you would be sexist AND a racist. 

yet here you are, freely choosing to read this article and comment on it.

its “mythical” ?

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/2011/01/the-morning-line-president-obamas-call-for-civility.html 

“President Obama comforted a community suffused with grief and summoned the nation to recommit to a more civil public discourse as he delivered a eulogy Wednesday evening urging Americans to talk with each other ‘in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds.’” 

So, that didnt happen?

‘bitch’ is a gender specific insult. 
Some insults are specific to a gender, a race, or a sexual orientation. You dont get that?

Do you also think calling a gay man a ‘f*g’ is a basic insult?

how about calling a black man the n word? Is it the same as calling someone a ‘dick’?

Maybe you just apologize for what you said, instead of doubling down on your misogyny. You do yourself no favors by trying to rationalize it with an ineffective juxtaposition. 

Michelle Malkin is the definition of an idiot.

Do you agree with Keith Olbermann’s description of her being a “big mashed up bag of meat with lipstick”?

My thoughts exactly. What’s sexist about this? Tool is not gender specific.

holy crap you are crazy…! This is awesome. Can someone invite this guy to speak at the democratic convention? 

Its clearly a still of the today show.

so to you, calling her a mashed up bag of meat is ok, it was just the lipstick part that was sexist?

As much as Malkin makes me want to throw my TV out the window and hit some innocent elderly pedestrian on the street… I can’t help but think of her and Soledad O’Brien having a naked tax reform debate.

Forgive me, I’m young and my hormones are still raging.  

So calling Fluke a slut is sexist, but calling malkin a prostitute is ok?

Yup, just another “do as I say, not as I do” liberal.

I wouldn’t go on TV and call her a “big mashed  up bag of meat with lipstick” but that’s just me. I am not the biggest Olberman fan so I am not really going to jump to his defense.

What I will say is what I said above, she may be the angriest pundit I have ever seen. I honestly think she gets up in the morning and says ok, who and what can I fly off the handle about today. She is such a partisan hack that it’s not even worth having her on a show. Hey Michelle, what do you think about ___ insert democrat. Response: They are the worst people in the world. They want to destroy America. The Left is blah blah. Saying she is a 1 trick pony is offensive to 1 trick ponies.

It didn’t particularly find her tweet sexist, I just particulary find her offensive. She doesn’t even pretend to be reasonable. And if you want to say that people of her ilk reside on the left then sure, I can probably agree with that. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t find her offensive. Let me know if she ever says anything original besides liberals suck.

stfu bitch.

Michelle Malkin has more brains under her pinky nail than you and all your ancestors going back to your tree-dwelling grandmother. Next time untie the one finger you use to type with from your testicle.  As for your search for the anti-christ, check the mirror…

Obama’s said a lot. The real challenge is quoting something he’s said that he meant.

Know what woman-bashing is? Calling Malkin’s tweet sexist when it isn’t, just because she’s Malkin. Your invitation to more Malkin-bashing is a resounding success.

With Breitbart dead Malkin is now the biggest douchebag on the far-right.

Malkin’s response was utterly conditioned by (what else COULD it be?), the Reich reaction to Fluke striking back against Reich mysogyny (what else would YOU call not putting even ONE woman on a panel dealing with birth control?).

So, when she pans someone for hanging out with this MURDEROUS CRIMINAL, er, woman putting forth her views for herself and her sex, one has to ask:

WHAT BLOODY ELSE COULD IT BE, BUT SEXIST?

Blowback to a legitimate complaint against a sexist action — and NOTHING else? I call that SEXIST.

In this case, the label SHE applied is both perfectly appropriate to her meaning, AND a perfect MIS-labeling of reality.

Reich-Wing Brain-Lock strikes again.

Have you no MEMORY, Tax-Man? Do you not recall, that the panel that made Ms. Fluke’s testimony NECESSARY was in itself a misogynistic act by the Reich? No women allowed at all, on a panel ostensibly dealing with the issue of birth control?

In my book, and in the book of anyone who is SANE (and no, I’m not talking about you and your fellow Church-goers, here), such an act is deeply, DEEPLY SEXIST. That YOU don’t see it that way says nothing about reality, I assure you. It only tells us that YOU also see the world through a sexist filter, and simply cannot see anything that IS sexist.

So in context (without which, I’m sure you’ll admit, NO tweet would make much sense), her “party tool” was simply her way of “sanitizing” the issue, trying to make it go down better with her droids.

As you put it yourself … Sheesh.

Sorry, but in context, it IS. Follow the back-logic: what are they talking about? What is it that Sandra Fluke became known for?

If she hadn’t taken it on herself to stand up to a males-only panel who was supposedly addressing birth control (a sexist act in itself), her name would not likely even be known to Ms. Malkin.

The ENTIRE CONTEXT of the story is based in Reich Sexism, but YOU buy the line that choosing these particular words, um, ERASES that backdrop of sexism?

No wonder you are so easily convinced. Really, Kate. I expected better from you.

What was it in RESPONSE TO?

Ding! Sexism revealed. Try thinking for yourself, why don’t you? It’s refreshing.

To me, it seemed he was calling out the PRESS as the Mashed Meat.

Sadly, Malkin still seems to fit the definition.

“Shut up”, Ben explained. Typical example of lefty intellect.

Haha, “doosh”? Is juvenile name calling all you have? Pathetic. 

Oh relax, Joe. I think people need to chill out on faux outrage – on all sides. So no one can ever call out anyone who has ever spoken about women’s issues or issues affecting women, because that is automatically sexist? Or is it just sexist when someone you disagree with calls someone you agree with a name?

(And for the record, that panel that Fluke was not allowed to attend was for CLERGY. Sandra Fluke is not a member of the clergy. Yes, I think it would have been great if there were some female clergy there, but with women not allowed to be priests, and this being a predominantly Catholic issue, options were likely limited.)

“I honestly think she gets up in the morning and says ok, who and what can I fly off the handle about today.”

And I honestly think you are wrong about that. No one can fully know what drives her, but I don’t think she has to focus at all, on what makes her mad. She doesn’t have to wake up and remember who she is, because anyone so filled with hate must be eating, sleeping, and bathing it as well.

I wouldn’t be and stay that mad for anything. That’s the one thing that could give a woman as short a life-span as a man. And for the same reason: pure hate is corrosive.

It’s CONTEXT is sexist (remember CONTEXT?)

It is about nothing but a photo op of TWO of the Reich Wing’s thorns-in-side, on the issue of (wait for it) … Reich Wing Sexism!

THAT is the (only?) common public interest shared by both Megan McCain and Sandra Fluke, and it is was the compliment to Fluke by McCain, that excited Malkin’s ire. Without the context of Reich Wing Sexism, I doubt Malkin would even know who Fluke was.

Indeed, the issues are SO simple, that the tweet could be about nothing else. That is what makes this story so entertaining; seeing you and your fellows demonstrate your remarkable lack of relevant recall.

 Depends on the kind of tool. Michelle Malkin is a hex nut tool.

Malkin did NOT simply call Meghan a tool. No, what she did is call a woman who complimented another woman FOR NOTHING BUT COUNTERING REICH SEXISM, a tool. That puts it solidly in a sexist context, no matter what hoops you and yours jump through to make it appear otherwise.

That is the ONLY thing Sandra Fluke is known for in the media, and it is the ONLY context by which Malkin’s comment makes sense. Sure, she seems to have thought out that little connection beforehand (in order to rope YOU into her fan club), but there is simply NO OTHER CONTEXT through which to see her comment, here.

Tweets, for the uninitiated, mean NOTHING in themselves. They are simply too short for that. No, they ALWAYS relate to some context or other, or they don’t even make sense.

And the CONTEXT this tweet relates to, is that Sandra Fluke “dared” to counter rank Reich Sexism, by filling in the holes in their “testimony,” (read Kangaroo Hearing) with her own testimony, a behavior fairly called anti-sexism.

So tweeting her ire at this person — who, again, is known for NOTHING ELSE — is indeed sexist.

How convenient for you! You have found a way to make the very dearth of women in government a “conspiracy” issue — or did you have help of the Glenn Beck kind, to get there?

Pretty handy, though, to tie together all of the few women in government into an “evil” gordian knot, and shoot that “info” straight into your Reich Wing Fear centers.

Pretty handy for the Reich as well. Now they will point out how women are INHERENTLY sexist/unreliable/crazy, just because they want true equity and justice.

And since their aim is fully accomplished, once that idea takes hold, welcome to the Reich Wing Fiasco writ large.

Hope you recover soon.

 Pretty funny, how suddenly a sexist insult is a sexist insult … once it is wielded by an ideological opponent, that is.

Whereas the word “tool,” applied to a context in which it can ONLY be taken as sexist, is given a pass because it was from the Mouth Of Malkin.

First off: fail on the “Church-goer” thing. I don’t worship any make-believe deities (but if I did, I’d have to go with the Flying Spaghetti Monster). 

Secondly: apparently you are the one with memory failure; either that or you are ignorant of the fact that the House panel was not about birth control per se, but rather focusing on the issue of religious freedom and health insurance mandates, so the House committee called clerics and theologians to testify. 

Those professions are male-dominated, so it’s not surprising that the panelists were all male. Fluke is neither a theologian nor a cleric, so it’s obvious the Dems threw her in there at the last minute to be just what Malkin says she is: a party tool.

Third: Georgetown’s insurance plan *does* cover birth control when needed for medical reasons other than contraception (which she herself admits). So her whole testimony was a distortion intended to create a phony controversy. But then, that’s what party tools do.

 Just a quick reflection on the CONTEXT of this tweet (remember, without such CONTEXT, tweets mean exactly nothing at all).

The word “tool” was APPLIED TO (pesky CONTEXT) a woman who did nothing but RELATE (another pesky CONTEXT) to another woman, who’s ENTIRE claim to media space was that she appeared in public to COUNTER a very sexist panel of Reich-thinking menz, who were “dealing” with birth control issues by (of course) NOT inviting any women (you know, the gender that HAS the babies) to attend, so that their “arguments” could not be countered on the record.

Given that the original provocation WAS deeply sexist, and that Fluke’s response to it was to COUNTER that sexism, and that McCain’s own fellowship with Fluke seems to respect that very action (what other action could it have been?)…

I find it both awesome and scary, that you and yours can’t seem to follow that very simple trail back to the sexism itself. Or to credit that Malkin’s response to this item was colored with the same outlook that drove the original Reich Committee (again, this is SO simple that it simply COULD NOT BE anything else).

Sexism, plain and simple.

And you equate a political speech by someone you hate as a “vow” by all Liberals?

So, THAT didn’t happen?

Maybe if Obama had sent ME the speech to vet … but he didn’t, as usual…

In this ONE case, and because the Reich started it, yes, it is okay.

A political prostitute is someone (of EITHER sex) who sells their influence for money or political advantage, as Michelle Malkin does. Yes, the core of the term lies in selling sex, but really, the way you see the Reich carry on, you might think that’s a GOOD thing.

MOST of the names on the DC Madam’s list were in fact Reich Wing legislators.

One way to find out, Don’t. Just wait for the Reich implosion, and count the pieces on the ground afterwards…

Sorry, I quit reading at the word “brains,” applied to Michelle Malkin…

So in your book, RI, one can “cleanse” a tweet of all sexist implications simply by using non-sexist terms in it?

Have you forgotten (of course you have, you are a Reich Droid) that NO tweet is complete without it’s relevant CONTEXT?

And what is the context of this one? Why, that two women are shown bonding, over what CAN ONLY be interpreted as a response by one of them to a clear SEXIST effort by the Reich to weed women out of the debate on birth control — a female issue if ever there was one.

1) Sexist actions by a Committee of (only) Reich Wing Men

2) Counter-sexist argument by one of the women they never invited

3) Another woman says “You go, girl!”

4) Malkin responds by calling her (any name at all)

How COULD Malkin’s “response” (no one asked her) be ANYTHING but a continuation of the same conversation? And note that she is affirming the first sexism, inherent in the biased Congressional panel in the first place.

Really, she is sticking to the sexist issue, even by addressing this in ANY context. Hence, Malkin’s comment IS sexist.

LOL You do realize that you just argued against your initial point right?

“Yes, the core of the term lies in selling sex” then the rest is like, blah blah, Im saying ‘reich’ instead of ‘right’ 100 times in this thread because its so clever! See, Im saying conservatives are nazis! 

This is also dumb: if you insist that ‘prostitute’ isnt gender specific, then neither is slut, which is just as easily attributed to a man- but of course since they rarely are, my initial point remains valid…which makes you a hypocrite. TKO.

My advice: go down a couple of weight classes- you are getting hammered here.  Try the huffington post- you are going to get more bobbleheads there to agree with your inane logic.

Um, how is this giving malkin a pass? This entire article is ripping on Malkin. 

You are the idiot that is arguing that “tool” is sexist, then defending those calling Malkin a bitch and prostitute.

 Pretty funny, how suddenly a sexist insult ISNT a sexist insult … once it is wielded by an ideological comrade, that is. 

Yeah, nice try, but I dont hate Obama. You must be assuming that everyone feels the same way about their political opponents as you do. 

and “vow”- the word you used in quotations, was dc beast’s word, not mine.  
DCbeast said the call for civility was “mythical” which means she doubted its existence. I simply proved that there was in fact, a very real call for civility by liberals who now deny it apparently.

try working on your reading comprehension next time, and it will save you the embarrassment of me humiliating you again. 

Is that because Women cant find work in Obama’s economy?

No idiot, he was just making a play on words from the original comment made by Keith Olbermann. 

You are so dumb, you dont even know the reference. Go way troll, you are embarrassing yourself.

Mercy me! The things some people can derive from 140 characters.

So she’s more angry than Ed Shultz? 

http://www.mediaite.com/online/ed-schultz-wants-to-be-in-msnbc-promos-or-hell-torch-this-fcking-place/

Or how about Mike Malloy? and lets not forget Bill Maher.

I think there is alot of competition- lets not give Michelle the angriest pundit award just yet.

If you consider her an angry pundit, then I will accept your opinion…though “angry” to me speaks more about style than substance. Id consider Rush or O’Reilly as more “angry” than Malkin. Mark Levin definitely. Definitely Cenk Ugyur. Keith Olbermann, obvious.

Breitbart was the king of this, RIP. There are plenty of fire breathers on both sides- I just disagree with that particular characterization of her. Is she hypercritical of the left? for sure, but I dont see the steam coming out of her ears like you do with plenty of other pundits.

actually, chucksacramento is thinking for himself. You are the one parroting this story’s opinion.

Yeah, on the “vile human” list there is rush, newt, malkin, and then MAYBE Kony being a distant 4th. 

Ahh, perspective. its really a wonderful thing to have.

wow, overt racism AND sexism in a 17 word post! Yet it also has strangely religious overtones…this is one confused and disturbed individual. 

LOL I particularly like how he felt like he had the need to censor the word ‘hell’ at the end of that..! LOL We appreciate your modicum of restraint there…!

You make a fair point. I guess I just find her repulsive. She just goes on TV every day yelling into the wind about nothing. Never anything new. Never anything original. Just the left is ___(some synonym of bad). It’s amazing that people get paid for that.

yeah unfortunately thats what passes for tv punditry nowadays.

I think you could say the same for hannity, or the entire block of MSNBC programming before ODonnell and Maddow. 

then there are contributors like the excruciatingly partisan Dick Morris or Paul Begala..yeah you are right- you already know exactly what they are going to say before they open their mouths. Why does anyone bother listening to their opinion, or worse yet, pay them to give it?

While I certainly prefer Maddow and O’Donnell due to my political leanings I certainly admit it’s not hard to figure out what they are going to say before they say it.

The only time I am ever surprised is when someone actually says something that I don’t expect. I just wish both sides were really capable of criticising their own side. Republicans ceratinly don’t do everything right much like democrats don’t do everything right. In fact, both seem to do very little right at this point. But it’s always the other sides fault. The pundits are just an extension of that.

(Though I still find Malkin infuriating)

Pathetic. It’s conservative women bashing that is in vogue. Mostly by liberal arts educated women, taught by left wing ideologues who could not hold down a job outside academia. They detest paternalism, yet the NY Times is their daddy, and Maureen Dowd is the precocious teenage brat they long to be. Liberal women are as easily manipulated as evangelicals, whom they detest. They are jealous of conservative women who can actually think and stand up for themselves.

Its not a conspiracy…its all done in the open.   If anita dunn works as the white house director of communications and leaves to work for SDK kickenboucker.  Then Hillary Rosen also working with DSK kickenbocker meets with the president and others at the white house 30+ times.  And you have someone named Fluke being represented by SDK.  Its wrong to see hmm that Ms Fluke isn’t some random innocent child but actually a political operative. 

 what was her expertise?  what was the hearing regarding?  Is she a doctor?  Was there any males without qualifications like her that were testifying? 

Malkin is a talentless classic right-wing harpy who recognizes but one thing:  say something more outrageous than a Limbaugh or any other of the right-wing pile-of-shat punditry to get her name into the 24/7 news cycle, and it keeps up her appearance fees or status as a contributor on some extremist media enterprise.  That’s what Moo-chelle is all about.

You sure seem like you’re being mad and staying mad about this. You’ve posted the same nonsensical ramblings at least 10 times.

Lightningjoe clearly has serious mental issues. Gosh, the time it must take to come up with this stuff and type it all out….over and over and over again in slightly different formats.

stand by your woman. that’s amore.
