Watch out! Michelle Malkin is IRATE at "trivializing" Iwo Jima!!!!1111

[Bluebear]

"It’s the one war the Left and the media do want to win: The “war on global warming.”

And they’ll appropriate and trivialize any real war imagery they please in pursuit of eco-propaganda–good taste and respect for veterans be damned!"

Can you picture her writing this?

[wryter2000]

1. LOL, I'd almost forgotten she existed. n/t

n/t

[mac2]

2. Who cares what angry message Mrs. Obama has?

She getting her digs in just in case Obama doesn't win? She's not running for public office.

When First Lady Clinton had an opinion or suggestion, help about a plan for health care for Congress and the President (which she was just as entitled to do as Kissinger now out of office) the media jumped all over her. It's OK for the President and VP family (now in high appointed offices) to be on the tax rolls and determine public policy. The media is mute. Only Democrats can't have family members act in official roles. Sit down and shut up!

I certainly have some "anger" but the media doesn't give a damn. Why isn't she angered over the dying/starving children (of all sexes, races, religion, and color) around the world from our Empire Building? Or impeachment failure of Congress to punish those who were responsible for two cities destruction and death of their citizens?

When President Bush first came to office we had that spy dog and pony show. The Russians and Chinese got our spy technology. If that wasn't planned I'd be surprised. It was the first betrayal and treason by these thugs. That alone was reason for impeachment. Anger over events are much more recent that WWII.

5. I keep reading your post & wondering what it has to do with this?

[zbdent]

7. seems like someone saw "Michelle" and immediately went into anti-Obama mode

without realizing it was not Michelle Obama ...

:silly:

[Bluebear]

8. Ah, I think you are right.

Sigh.

[Richard Steele]

13. Wow, what an embarrassingly stupid thing to post! nm

[Aristus]

15. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Every public figure in the country whose name is Michelle

is married to Barack Obama.

Just thought you should know.


That is all...

[Jazzgirl]

18. This has got to be the dumbest shit I've read in a long time.

What are you smoking? Did you read the article?

[TankLV]

19. umm - you might want ot re-read the SUBJECT of the OP...this has NOTHING to do with obama's wife...

somebody made an oppsie in their anger...

she has plenty to be angry about on her own without confusing her with that repuke witch...

[Political Heretic]

33. Wow and the DUMBASS OF THE YEAR AWARD goes to.... MAC2! Congrats!

:rofl:

Try reading at least one line of the OP next time.

34. Step away from the keyboard

Please READ a post before responding thank you.

38. Michelle Malkin, you ignorant twit.

[RobertSeattle]

3. Wingnuts love their faux outrages

[RobertSeattle]

4. Well Lookie what I found

[LeftinOH]

6. Awesome comeback.. except Lynne Cheney's 'primer' doesn't deal with

going green/global warming.. as, of course, anything to do with protecting the environment is 'leftist propaganda' (according to the responses on Malkin's site). Good find, though-

[zbdent]

9. I'm sure Malkin's water is nice and purified ...

and she doesn't live downstream from the runoff from a de-regulated atomic reactor ...

[RobertSeattle]

11. Just trying to point out that the Right Wing think they "own" certain types of imagery

And if you use that imagery contrary to their world view, "it's an (faux) outrage"

[mac2]

22. Lynn Cheney also wrote a book children could not read.

[Warpy]

10. Oh, if only I thought she'd recreate that graphic

but she'd never risk breaking a nail, let alone her face.

I'll bet if we looked at her family closely enough, we'd find people who collaborated with the Japanese.

It would explain so much.

[trotsky]

12. Oh it's even better than that.

Michelle Malkin, she who lambastes immigrants and has gone on tirades against "anchor babies" (illegal immigrants coming to America, then having a baby here who of course automatically receives citizenship, making it easier for their parents to stay)...

IS HERSELF AN ANCHOR BABY!

14. i guess the right-wing fignuts have never seen this image..

the dipshit who does the morning show on 600 KOGO was all in a lather this morning.

[RobertSeattle]

16. Wasn't there some meme a couple years go

"No Country with a McDonald's has ever invaded another country" or something like that - guess Bush killed that one.

[mac2]

21. No they invade the country who has a MacDonalds.

[Buzz Clik]

17. Here you go, Michelle. Something else to hate:

[mac2]

20. Shouldn't she talk about things we can address now?

[Canuckistanian]

23. Well, she agreed with WWII prison camps for Japanese

Has it NEVER occured to her that SHE would be mistaken for a Japanese citizen if history repeated itself?

[mac2]

25. We didn't put Germans in prison camps why Japanese?

We wanted their property in the rich California area?

My uncles both of German/American heritage fought against the Japanese and Germans in WWII. My uncle helped rebuild Germany after the war but took no wealth with him but his war bride (the first German war bride). We can't say that about the Bush administration hacks when they went to rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan.

[zbdent]

26. we will not be rebuilding Afghanistan ...

they don't have oil ...

[mac2]

29. Remember how Bush said he wouldn't leave Afghanistan

in ruins like his father? He would help the women who are being oppressed, etc. Just let him go after one man...Bin Laden. Which he did and destroyed the country while doing it. Forget Bin Laden didn't attack us.

They don't have oil but the gas and oil pipelines have to go through there. Why do you suppose Russia, Britain, and we wanted their country?

Busn lie? Yes zbdent.

[zbdent]

36. occupying? yes. Building pipeline? yes.

Rebuilding the rest of the country?

nahhhhh ...

[nam78_two]

24. Oh God-is she still around?

I feel like I haven't heard much from her recently. Everytime I think one of these morons is out of the news cycle, they pop right back ...ugh.

Hi BB -how are you doing :hi: :hug:?

[Orsino]

27. ...as opposed to trivializing global warming.

The right-wing chuckleheads are not afraid of trivializing the sacrifices of our troops--that's job one for them these days. What they're scared of is the implication that global warming is an issue as important as, say, World War II.

But it's always Opposite Day in Wingnut America.

31. I'll bet that Michelle Malkin doesn't even know the true story of the flag raising on Iwo Jima

There has been a long standing controversy surrounding Joe Rosenthal's famous picture. Many people claim that it was staged and, in fact, the picture WAS staged. The picture that became famous was the second picture taken of a DIFFERENT flag than the one that was originally raised. Here's part of what I found with a link:

"They call that the Iwo Jima flag-raising, which it ain't," declared Charles Lindberg, a retired electrician in Richfield, Minn., who is the last surviving member of either flag-raising - in his case, the first."It's a good picture," Lindberg conceded. "I even told Joe Rosenthal that it was a good picture. But me and him get into a few arguments."

That is because Lindberg, like others in the first-flag raising, believed that all the glory was showered on the second flag-raisers, who were less deserving.Rosenthal doesn't argue that one group was more deserving than another. "In my own opinion, any one of those troops who had their feet on Iwo Jima is a hero."

The fact is that neither set of flag-raisers encountered serious resistance from the Japanese as they scaled Mount Suribachi that day. And in retrospect, the scaling of Mount Suribachi was not the great turning point in the battle that it may have seemed: THE FIGHTING AT IWO JIMA CONTINUED FOR 31 MORE DAYS!"

Just like the toppling of Saddam's statue or the "Mission Accomplished" banner, the incurious American news consumer, like Malkin, is satisfied with symbolic gestures regardless of the truth behind those gestures.

35. True it is not the real photo of the event.

I do like the statue in DC. It's beautiful and symbolic.

The press fail to tell the truth to keep war going then and now.
