Michelle Malkin: Obama is NOT articulate

[Bluebear]

:crazy:

"I have good news for everyone offended by the description of Sen. Barack Obama as "articulate." He has quickly shed any claim to that label.

Indeed, Obama's remarks last week about American troops killed in Iraq were a bumbling, incoherent mess. You may now refer to him officially as the Inarticulate Barack Obama. (As for judging his current level of cleanliness and brightness, you know that's Joe Biden's milieu.)

At one of his opening presidential campaign events on the Iowa State University campus, Obama pandered energetically to the anti-war crowd. With his smooth voice rising and thousands of fans goading him on, he proclaimed: "We ended up launching a war that should have never been authorized, and should have never been waged, and to which we have now spent $400 billion and have seen over 3,000 lives of the bravest young Americans wasted."

Yes, "wasted." Squandered. Pointless. Down the drain. Meaningless. Video footage of the speech shows Sen. Obama delivering his scripted words carefully and confidently. No umms or ahhs or pauses as he argued that each and every member of the military who volunteered to serve and died in Iraq "wasted" his/her life.

This revealing slip of Obama's tongue and mind — or "Obamanation," as conservative blogger Scott Johnson at Power Line (powerlineblog.com) calls it — did not play well among countless service members and their families who actually support their mission and sacrifice...."

1. Neither is Michelle Malkin.

In fact, she sounds like a freaking moron.

[The_Casual_Observer]

2. That one looks like a catfish.

Is that the best they can come with?

[Jackpine Radical]

3. Keep it up, Michelle.

You may drive me to Obama yet.

4. Oh, man, that made me laugh

:spray:

5. But is he clean?

[cboy4]

6. It's only a matter of time before she calls him the

N-word.

You just know eventually, she and other Repukes are going to launch some sore of racist attack campaign, similar to the one they used against Harold Ford Jr. in Tennessee.

13. There will eventually be a modern variation

on the Willie Horton theme.

7. Go fuck yourself, Michelle. You make my skin crawl.

:yuck:

8. Consider the source

Malkin's only qualification as a pundit is being vaguely physically attractive. Her rhetoric is a pale immitation of Coulter's (I'm actually starting to find Coulter amusing in a "slow down to watch the auto wreck" way). What Obama said was accurate and judging by current polls, most agree with him.

If Malkin is going after Obama this early, the RW are seriously worried about him.

[ShortnFiery]

11. Only FOX and right wingers are making that repugnant "media fly-weight" relevant. n/t

[trotsky]

12. OK, maybe "wasted" is an uncomfortable term.

But the question is, is it accurate?

I'd ask the Malkin exactly what those soldiers' deaths have accomplished. What has America gained?

As far as I can see, we have only lost from this war. Lost prestige and moral authority in the world, lost tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis, and lost several thousands of our finest volunteer fighting forces.

I'd also ask the Malkin if viewing that a soldier's life was wasted means one regrets or celebrates the loss of that life. She damn well knows the answer to that one.

14. Has she been cast yet...

...in that Faux Funnies show? She could use a laugh track.:puke:

15. The first African American managing editor of the Harvard Law Review is not articulate? Ooo Kay!!!
