Malkin: I'm skeptical of anything with "Bill of Rights"
Right-wing author and pundit Michelle Malkin filled in for Bill O’Reilly tonight on The O’Reilly Factor. During a segment on a newly-proposed Airline Passengers Bill of Rights, Malkin said, “So you’re behind this Passengers’ Bill of Rights move. I have to tell you, in general, I’m skeptical of anything that has Bill of Rights tacked on to it.”

1. Actually I kind of agree with that
The Bill of Rights was created to protect the natural inalianable rights of individuals - rights that everybody should have. Everybody should have the right to worship as they choose. Everybody should have the right to freedom of speech. I'm not sure a patients bill of rights or a passengers bill of rights really stacks up.

2. But consider the source....
I'm not quite sure that's how that nutcase Malkin meant it.

5. Yeah - well I doubt she's all that keen on the actual Bill of Rights
all things considered.

3. Oh, I think most RWers fully support the Bill of Rights.
They just want to be able to pick and choose who it applies to.

6. sort of like Christianity with them, too
against gays because of 1 line in the Bible... but, conveniently ignoring thousands of lines about helping the poor & downtrodden.

4. The Constitution has a Bill of Rights attached to it
I guess she is suspicious of that, too?

7. Why does she hate America?

"Because I didn't get braces when I grew up!"

8. Newt wants the First Amendment repealed
I didn't see the segment but I'm pretty sure Malkin must have been jumping of the Gingrich bandwagon. Is it fascism yet?
