A Clash of Civilizations, Indeed.
In commenting on Michelle MalKKKin’s recent piece de caca, David Neiwert notes:
So far, the “John Doe” movement is clearly both populist (practicing, as in all fascist entities, a highly selective brand of populism) and ultranationalist. It is not, as yet, particularly “palingenetic” — that is, it isn’t driven by a myth of a national rebirth fueled by a purifying elimination of corrupting elements.
But it’s only a step away.
Well, it looks like the foot is coming off the ground to take that last step. It seems that right-wing theocrats aren’t content to just fling death threat-feces at artists these days. Let’s take a look at how these oh-so-peaceful members of the “Theocracy NOW!” crowd are making Jesus weep today.
First off, there was the recent mass-spamming threat from Melanie “Spocko’d” Morgan to at least two popular lefty blogs: Pandagon and Firedoglake. Check out this piece of sophistry for yourself and tell me that this isn’t a threat against the livelihood or, indeed, lives of anyone who dares speak out against The Most Holy George W. Christ (emphasis mine):
Those of you in the anti-war movement have helped the pro-troop organization Move America Forward to go up on the television airwaves today with a new ad that takes on those who are undermining our heroic troops and their missions.
At YouTube the patriotic Move America Forward television ad that takes the anti-war crowd (including Cindy Sheehan and Martin Sheen) to task has become a hit - earning a 4.5 star rating out of 5 stars.
You’ve become so despicable in your actions that America is now turning against you. You are failing.
You promised 100,000 marchers for the “March on the Pentagon” but your march was a total bust with only a few thousand protestors turning out to show solidarity with the terrorists, and speaking out against the fight for freedom.
Leading anti-war senator, Barack Obama, announced this weekend that Congress will not insist on a timetable for withdrawal and surrender in Iraq after all. You’ve even turned off the more moderate members of your community who have helped me to be able to get this message sent out to you.
We will no longer tolerate the anti-war crowd subjecting America to more terrorist attacks as a result of the defeat-retreat-surrender policies you advocate.
You already have blood on your hands for emboldening the terrorists to kill our troops, we won’t let you endanger innocent American citizens here at home.
When you burn American soldiers in effigy you show us which side in the war on terror you stand on, and it’s obviously not with America and our military men and women.
We won’t back down as you try to appease the forces of Islamic terrorism. We won’t allow you to dishonor our troops as you try to reignite a Vietnamized-culture in America.
Sincerely Yours,
Melanie Morgan
Chairman, Move America Forward

Yeah. I just love how she “politely” signs off after delivering that pile of projectile-vomit. Okay, hands up. Who else has received this?
But that’s not all! In the wake of the revelation that Mexico City is preparing to legalize abortion - a rarity in Latin America, given the region’s strong ties with the Catholic Church - abortion opponents have started baying at the moon. Pilfering tactics from classic protection racket depictions, they mutter darkly that “bad things could happen y’know what I’m sayin?” Yeah, right. As if anti-abortion violence occurs in a vaccum. Sure.
Ugh. Then there’s Michelle MalKKKin again. Malkin’s unhinged rant on terror drills that involve Christian terrorists instead of Muslim terrorists is yet another in a long line of her “kill all the Muslims” pea-soup-spewing episodes. “Using fake Christian terrorist groups to conduct terrorism response drills? That’s too PC! We all know that only Muslims commit terrorism, don’t we?” she whines (okay, only in a truth-serum injection sense, but that’s pretty much the gist of her op-ed). “I mean, Christians would NEVER resort to terrorism*, right?”
Tell me again how ONLY Muslims are incurably violent reprobates?
*Okay, that was the PowerWankers whining, but Michelle does have a history of the “plausible deniability” version of this sort of rhetoric.
UPDATE: Gavin M. at Sadly, No! asks:
Say, Michelle, how’s your boyfriend?
Indeed. How long until “suspicious white powder” shows up at the headquarters of these school districts Michelle is screeching about?
