Malkin: Left wing bloggers hid under their bedcovers during Iraq election

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

THE LEFT GOES INTO HIBERNATION
By Michelle Malkin · January 30, 2005 01:52 PM

With the exception of Sullivan, the top bloggers on the left side of the blogosphere have decided to mark this historic day by hiding under their bedcovers.

As of 1:45pm EST today, Talking Points Memo is silent on the Iraqi elections. Atrios is silent on the Iraqi elections. Crooked Timber is silent on the Iraqi elections. And Daily Kos has one post today from "Armando," who sneered: "This Election is simply, in my estimation, an exercise in pretty pictures."

Update: Wizbang and Protein Wisdom spot a left-wing blogger who decided to show his face...or another anatomical part.

Andrew Sullivan is not a left winger.

I'll give you a little tip to figure out who is on the right and who is on the left, since obviously you don't have a clue. Ready.... Blog Rule #1. If a blog runs the ad "Michael Moore Hates America" that blogger is on the right. That's all you really need to know. However, If a little more help is required. Blog Rule #2. If a blogger quotes Dick Cheney in a positive fashion, something like"Freedom means freedom for everyone" then that blog is on the right. Clear on it now? Great, I knew you would.

By the way, if you were to look at the Daou Report, you would see many left leaning sites blogging on the Iraqi vote. I'm just saying.

3. no... we were here saying it was bullshit....the RW media owns the

fricking airwaves - are we suppose to hijack the faux and cnn feeds?

what a dumbshit

[PROGRESSIVE1]

4. Andy S. is NOT A LEFT WINGER!

He's a right wing MOFO! He's a true mediawhore!

:puke:

[gratuitous]

5. How much more do you need to say

After you've said "Fraud" and "Sham"? It is rather giggleworthy that Malkin lumps Andrew Sullivan in with the left wing. We don't want him, either, but Bareback Andy is definitely in the reactionary right's camp.

[ashiebr]

6. Sullivan is a leftie?

Jeezaas this woman is thick!

[Kerrytravelers]

12. Did you see the ad on the left side?

An Iraqi woman making a peace sign with an inked voting finger and below her is a comment saying thank you Red Staters for toppling Saddam. Thatnks to them, three are no more torture chambers and freedom is in Iraq, blah blah blah.

Good God.

7. Why do we pay Michelle any mind?

In my opinion, this election is still waiting for the other shoe to drop. This election is by no means the 'end' of the trouble in Iraq. Yet the people who think like Michelle do seem to want to believe that.....
edited for spelling and this smilie! :)

[tavalon]

29. We pay her only enough mind

To laugh at and make fun of her, same as we do with Ann Coulter. They are such idiots and humans have fun making fun of idiots.

[gratuitous]

8. I also notice . . .

That she made this post on January 30, before any results had come through in the U.S., so her crowing about the silence is mostly because the event hadn't happened yet. Now I know that it's SOP on the right wing to file a report even before something happens, but on the left, we like to see what the result is before commenting on it.

But I suppose our little Michelle is baffled that no one has written about the stunning outcome of the Super Bowl yet, either.

[TomClash]

9. She doesn't read DU

Hey, Michelle, since when is 44 dead and 271 wounded in a country under martial law where people are given food rations to vote a great day for democracy?

I'll tell you one thing: I wouldn't be hiding under my bedcovers if she was there.

One more thing: how much did you get from the Bush Administration?

[Straight Shooter]

10. That's because the Left engages its mind before it runs its mouth

Unlike a certain person on the Right who has no problem running her mouth without her mind in gear.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

11. In Michelle Malkin's world, Andrew Sullivan..

..is "left wing" solely because he's homosexual.

[AntiCoup2K4]

13. Here's a textbook example of a hypocrite

A daughter of immigrants, who hates immigrants, fawning over an election in which the majority of the votes were probably cast by Iraqis who immigrated to the US.

I suppose when Castro finally kicks the bucket, Bush invades and Cuba's next election is decided by those chickenshits in Miami, Malkin will love that one too.

[truebrit71]

14. Michelle Malkin is a waste of air...

..always has been...

[Taxloss]

15. Well, I commented on it.

16. I sure wish Malkin would go INTERN herself

Lead the way Michelle!

[WolverineDG]

17. damn

was hoping someone would post that pic of her when she was getting a spanking from tweety on hardball.....

18. Coming soon, Malkin

19. How much is Bush admin. paying her?

Think she held out for 6 figures?

[davidinalameda]

20. what a stupid *****

fill in the blank

[Dr Ron]

21. No comment as waiting for the facts

While many left wing blogs actually did comment on the elections, I see good reason to hold off on saying much. It is too early to tell what the effects will be on the country.

It is also likely too early to even be certain of any of the information on voter turn out coming out of Iraq, and as of 1:45 pm yesterday I wouldn't have trusted anything enough to come to an opinion.

For Bush supporters, it was easy. No matter what happened, they would call it a victory fo r their policy.

For those of us interested in reality, we will have to wait and see what happens to determine if the elections turn out to be a meaningful step towards democracy.

22. The only person who rivals Coulter for the YUK award....

well maybe O'Reilly gets in there too.

[Vinnie From Indy]

23. Malkin? Who is Malkin?

She must be an idiot if she thinks Sully is a lefty.

[blondeatlast]

28. BINGO!

This is the same woman who wrote an entire book about how the Japanese internment in WWII was a great idea and also claimed that John Kerry wounded HIMSELF in Vietnam to further his political aspirations.

No, I'm not kidding, either. Read it and keep hold of your jaw, they have a nasty tendency to hit floors when encountering her musings.

The mere mention of Michelle Malkin's name, let alone a photograph, is enough to make me want to hide under our bed for a week.

In the meantime, Miss Malkin, would you be willing to submit to a polygraph and state that you have never, ever taken any kind of cash from the Bush administration to flog their policies in your "writings"?

[incapsulated]

25. Actually, this was *her* kind of election

You know, the kind were you risk your life even trying to vote, where polling places are found by "word of mouth", the candidates can't even declare themselves as being on the ballot until the day before the election for fear of their lives and it's all overseen by the US military.

Three Cheers for Republican Democracy!

27. Does this officially mark the end of Sullivan's claim to either side?!

YIPPEE-YI-O-KI-YAY!

Sorry, but just because he's gay doesn't mean we want him either.

What a sick and deluded individual she is.

[orleans]

30. god...i can't stand her!

[me b zola]

31. Who is hiding under the blankets with news about the C-130

that was shot down during the 'election'?

Are we going to hear about the people who will, indeed, be murdered for the ink on their index finger??

The truth from this administration is the only thing hiding under a blanket.

[Carolab]

32. She's an ignorant bigot. Who the hell cares what she thinks or says? n/t
