Consistency FAIL
Stalkin’ Malkin huffs and puffs over Prop. H8 backlash:
You must read this. Read the whole thing. Make sure you get to this part:
The mainstream media have so far failed to get across the intensity of the ordeal that supporters of Prop 8 may now be subject to—something I realized on coming across this extraordinary blog account of a meeting at the legendary restaurant El Coyote in Hollywood, not far from where I grew up in Laurel Canyon. The meeting was between the elderly Mormon owner, who donated $100 to support Prop 8, and Prop 8 opponents, who are threatening a boycott, and it is as soul-grinding as something out of Soviet show trial history.
Yoo-hoo. Soul-fixer. Hello?
Meanwhile, those oh-so-loving, never-violent religious conservatives were doing what, exactly?
Madison County, Idaho was once dubbed "the reddest place in America" by Salon, but that didn’t make it any less shocking when elementary school children allegedly started chanting "assassinate Obama" on the school bus.
Let’s see…boycotts, which are apparently only okay when its James Dobson or Bill O’Reilly doing it, versus calls for the assassination of a duly-elected head-of-state. Does Malkin really need my help figuring out which is legally actionable? (And it’s kids doing this, for Zombie Jesus’ sake! What are their parents teaching them?)
Oh. Right. I guess hate is okay if its a religious conservative doing it.
Update (14:08 CST, 11/14/2008): As blogger Nine at Left of Center points out, MalKKKin and her blackshirt cohort would be doing the exact same thing that Prop. H8 opponents are doing had the gay-bashing amendment failed.
Update II (14:24 CST, 11/14/2008): And yes, that means up to and including vandalism and anthrax hoaxes. I’m talking firebombing the Castro District and “suspicious white powder” at the HRC offices.
