Evolution Surrenders!

From the Department of Upcoming Girl on Girl Action courtesy of Michelle Malkin:

Janeane Garofalo, left-wing actress-turned-Air America radio host, is a miserable woman. Last week before the holidays, she turned up on cable TV. No, not to count her blessings -- but to rant against conservative journalist Bob Novak, author Ann Coulter, and the Fox News Channel. She didn't have anything better to do for Thanksgiving?

Maybe she just needed a smoke. Garofalo is a pundit just like you Michelle. It's what she gets paid to do. You both make money doing the same thing.

Accessorized by a permanent scowl (hard to believe she was once considered a comedienne), Ms. Garofalo accused conservatives of having "an anger management problem." Without a trace of irony, the frowning Garofalo griped about "right-wing partisan hacks" who "are always on the verge of punching somebody or always behave as if they've just been cut off in traffic."

And that is what they get paid to do. Personally, I think she and Sean Hannity have feelings for one another. Maybe Michelle has sensed this too, and is a tad jealous.

This, dear readers, is a classic case of liberal projection. Like CNN executive Jonathan Klein, who derided Fox's audience as full of "angry white men, and those men tend to be rabid," and liberal comedian Bill Maher, who also railed that "Republicans need anger management" and are possessed with a "vein-popping, gut-churning rage that consumes the entire right wing," Ms. Garofalo crossly blames the Right while denying the pathological wrath and fury that characterize the unhinged Left.

Good point Michelle. I do sense a bit of anger. Maybe just a wee bit.

Who are you calling angry, Ms. Garofalo? You want political road rage? Let's start with Al. Take your pick: Sharpton. Gore. Franken. Yearrghh!

No, that would be Howard.

Now, open your eyes:

It isn't out-of-control conservatives tossing Molotov cocktails at police officers in San Francisco, burning American soldiers in effigy, and smearing pig's blood and feces on the walls and windows of military recruitment centers across the country to protest on behalf of peace.

True.

It isn't rage-blinded conservative professors who embrace fragging (the murder of American soldiers by their fellow soldiers on the battlefield) as a legitimate anti-war tactic.

True.

It isn't vengeful conservatives torching SUVs, condo developments, and research facilities, and targeting biotech and pharmaceutical company employees and their families to protest on behalf of the environment.

True.

It wasn't mad conservatives sporting "F--- Bush" license plates, punching cardboard cutouts of the president, and vowing to secede after losing the 2004 presidential election.

True. But there were some doing that after Clinton was elected.

It wasn't rabid conservatives who gloated over Ronald Reagan's death or John Ashcroft's pancreatitis.

True. Rachel Corrie is another story though. But then, bulldozers are a little more humorous than Alzheimers.

It wasn't a gut-busting conservative journalist who vowed to kill herself if Dick Cheney ran for president. (That would be the perpetually aggrieved Helen Thomas.)

True.

It wasn't hate-filled Republican officials who reportedly screamed "faggot" and "fruitcake" and "I'll break your nose" at their political opponents. (Those were all Democrats: Pennsylvania state legislator Vincent Fumo, California Rep. Pete Stark, and Virginia Rep. Jim Moran, respectively.)

I must have missed that one.

It isn't fanatical conservatives joking about the assassination of President Bush and the execution of his Republican aides. (That, Ms. Garofalo, would include your Air America colleagues. But I'll forgive you if you weren't tuned in to them. Few are.)

True, but again I refer back to the Clinton era and what was being said back at that time. The vindictiveness is worse now though.

And it wasn't ruthless conservatives who cheered last week when a liberal Bush-hater wrote on the popular DemocraticUnderground.com website last week:

I am an American, Born and Raised, but I am NOT a citizen of BUSH'S America. I want nothing to do with the country these people have created.

And for those who support them, Let's get Something Nice And Sparkling CLEAR:

Stay The [F---] Away From Me. Stay OUT of my personal space. I want NOTHING from you. I want NOTHING to do with you. I want NOTHING to do with your "vision" of what the world should be.

What DO I want from you?

Honestly?

I will freely admit there are days, and they are becoming more than not, that the Alien at Area 51 in Independence Day and I share quite a common ground on the answer to that question.

And I am NOT apologizing for it.

In the words of the Late, Great Bill Hicks, about the most conciliatory thing I can say for those people at this point is simply this:

Kill Yourself

Sounds like a few of my former co-workers. Lovely bunch they were.

My Christmas wish for Ms. Garofalo and her ilk: a mirror and a clue to make the yuletide bright. In the meantime, when vein-popping liberals start seething about the rage of the Right, the wisest action for peaceful right-wingers I can recommend is this:

Duck.

Link.

Look Michelle, nice rant, but it is natural for the left to be angry right now. They are out of power. When Clinton was in office there were plenty on the right who were screaming mad all the time, but not most. The majority of left-wingers aren't screaming mad as the smaller vocal minority that get plenty of media coverage these days. That doesn't mean they are happy with Bush either, it just means they don't go to the extremes you pointed out. Although the left does have more that would go to the extreme than the right, you and I both know that is not where most people fall.

Janeane appeals to a certain audience, as does Michelle. Both sides have their share of angry pundits ready to declare it will be the end of the world if their side loses. Think Mike Malloy and Michael Savage. Both can be entertaining to listen to as they go on their rants, and I do listen to both of them on occasion, but they both can't be taken completely seriously. They're out to make a show. They're there to entertain, and most of all, make some cash.

I'm interested to see how Janeane responds to this, but would rather these two ladies just get skimpy on the clothing, oil up, and get rasslin. Now that would be real entertainment. Just please don't suggest Malloy and Savage do that.

p.s.

I'm still waiting for my beach towel Janeane. Michelle, I am requesting one of you as well.
