Free Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild Composed By Michelle Malkin Text

herbook this conservative author lists many examples where liberals/Democrats/radical leftists have given vent to mean or hateful, sometimes even vicious, statements and behavior.
An interesting book but one I would not really want to recommend because many of her examples and quotes for which the author does give copious references are too full of foul language.
I read this entire book, every single word and seems to me that I am left with a bad feeling that the fact that this book had to be written is a horrible statement to where America is today.
If Ann Coulter being on my list didn't clue you in to the fact that I am conservative, this will, The lengths liberals will go to to try to prove a point is, frankly, quite scary, as this book will show you, written

Just finished did you know that the book review heading on my old web site was called "Just finished, . . ," because I almost always started my review with those words reading Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild, which, depending on your political persuasion, is either an extremely biased rant against the forces of Liberal reason and rationality, or an objective look at the excesses of the "barking moonbats" of the Leftist horde, or maybe just a bit of both.


What it is, is a pretty well documented book about a number of instances of extreme insensitivity, race baiting, ad hominem attacks, and even criminal behavior by spokesman, selfappointed or otherwise, of the Liberal Left.
Malkin explores PEST, Post Election Selection Trauma, which apparently severely affected many of those who campaigned for or voted for John Kerry in thePresidential race, incapacitating them for days, weeks or months after his loss to Bush.
She explores some of the liberal conspiracy theories, such as believing that the CIA blew up the World Trade Center towers, that the capture of Saddam Hussein was staged at an opportune moment he'd been in custody for months previously, or that Bush has

secret plans for a military draft.


She talks about liberals' failure to support our troops during the War on Terror and the War in Iraq, their attacks on campus recruiters and recruiting stations, and their abusive behavior towards war veterans and their families.
She talks about college environments which condone and even encourage viewpoints such as Ward Churchill's, that the people who worked in the WTC deserved what happened to them, for their complicity in the military industrial complex's bid for world domination Gosh, some people never really grew out of the sixties, did they.


She spends some time discussing the rabid antiBush sentiment of many of the entertainers in Hollywood, Given the total fantasy of the world these people generally live in, who relies on them for any kind of reality check, anyway digression here I was watching an Oprahclone talk show one day, and the topic was successful relationships.
The host had three guests models and actresses C or D list, I can't really say who were there to give us their sage advice, The first one says something along the lines of "I've always been single," the second says her longest relationship was/years, and the third was married for several years and got divorced.
My first and last thought I turned to another channel at that point was "why in the world would you ask one of these people how to sustain a long term monogamous relationship" If I want to know how, I'll ask one of my acquaintances who have been married for,, oryears.
end digression.

Malkin also has a chapter filled with the venomous attacks upon her personally from liberals who have taken great offense to the opinions she expresses on her blog, and/or the columns she writes for conservative web sites, and/or the bloviating she gets to do on Fox News, especially The O'Reilly Factor.
If you're at all sensitive or easily offended by foul language, I suggest you skip this chapter, or perhaps use a black magic marker to clean it up a bit.
The rest of the chapter is the same sort of thing that she's collected from other web sites, posted by people who disagreed with some poor conservative schmuck.


Ok, so I was shocked and appalled by the obscene personal attacks on Mrs, Malkin. I, personally, wouldn't dream of talking to my worst enemy in the world that way, even if they'd spoken to me in that fashion first, However, from my surfing excursions, I've noticed that this stuff is pretty common on political blogs why, I can't imagine, as it doesn't further rational discourse in any way, shape or form.
Perhaps I'll even receive some of it for posting this review,

To be as objective as possible here, there's a ton of invective being tossed back and forth in the political arena these days, both online and offline, that falls far beyond the pale of what not so long ago was considered common courtesy.
I'm not even talking dirty politics, here, but rather the vicious attacks verbal and/or physical which evoke Wrestlemania far more than boxing by Queensbury rules,
All in all, a quick and entertaining, and sometimes maddening, read, Michelle Malkin is awesome!
Michelle Malkin's views on the political Left's hysteria over Conservative reactions to their own extreme agenda, This book about how liberals are unique in their paranoia, bitterness, and hatred is a funny read afteryears of Obama as president, It's basically cherrypicked quote after cherrypicked quote designed to flatter herself and her conservative readers by comparison, A surprising amount of quotes are just lifted off of the comments sections of various websites, It's humorous to think anyone might actually believe a similar book couldn't be put together with conservative theories about Obama's birth certificate, Benghazi, the Clinton body count, and fantasies of killing liberals or cleansing the country of other "undesirables".


There's no real substance here beyond what can be found in the comments section of some political article on Yahoo, Michelle Malkin catalogs the indecency and intolerance of the left as they seek to discredit everyone with whom they disagree, Argumentum ad hominem, argumentum ad nauseum, and argumentum ad misericordiam appeal to emotion are their favorite methods of attack, and are reproduced in stunning detail.


PLEASE NOTE: I do not recommend this book unreservedly, Malkin takes the position that if someone else wrote/printed it, she should too, for the sake of accuracy, Contains a good bit of strong/offensive language, With that note, it is still an informative read on the tendency of crazy leftists to plumb new depths in their smearing of oppponents,

A phenomenal piece exposing the mainstream hypocrisy of the extreme Liberals, I decided to read this after becoming a fan of a liberal page on Facebook and witnessed first hand the shameful way the treat people with opposing views is intolerable.
Reading this book highlighted some of the nation's craziest and well known liberals and exposes the hate they spew towards our troops, I applaud Michele Malkin for her integrity in standing up to the blindly led Liberals,
More screed than book

Was there anything at all I liked about this book Anything positive I could say about it Well, it was short, and thats no small thing but as short as it was, it was a stern test of my resolve, to finish any and all books I started.


Disclosure I skipped a section in the middle, page after page of mean things folks said about Michelle on her website hello, its the Internet, and I skimmed, OK, raced through the finalor so pages, not sure until the very end if Id finish it or just throw it across the room.


A few years ago I tried to read one of Rush Limbaughs books, The Limbaugh book was long, really long, and I tried and couldnt make it to the end, It was that awful. The theme Im the great Rush Limbaugh, here to tell you what to think and with my inimical humorous way of putting things, you know, that gift from God thing, youll be informed even as youre entertained.
It didnt work for me, Rush is what the World Wrestling Federation used to be, before it was unmasked serious sport or entertainment, depending on what best suited it at the moment and not so good, in this reviewers opinion, at either.
The lesson I got from it was never again,

Until I decided to do it again,

The theme of Malkins book is simple enough, and hard to miss, with the way she beats you over the head with it, Liberals are deranged, violent folks who hate America Conservatives I only use the word because they use it are Godfearing patriotic Americans under assault from the who else, deranged Liberals.


I finished the book in an afternoon, and not because I couldnt put it down, I could, and did, a lot, but I was determined to make it to the end and it was a Saturday and I usually give Saturdays over to softreading swashbucklers, Westerns, and I couldnt escape the nagging injustice I didnt deserve to be reading a political diatribe on a Saturday afternoon.


The book was written inso its maybe not fair to review it now, its a book about the situation in America nearly ten years ago and things change, oh, do they change.
If Liberals were angry and deranged back then, whos deranged now, in

Why were the Liberals so angry Well,presidential elections, one ending when they stopped counting the votes, SCOTUSs decision robbing President Bush of the legitimacy he might otherwise have had and robbing SCOTUS of legitimacy too.
Folks who crowed when the court put their man in the White House might better have taken a more sober look, There were legitimate questions raised about theelection too, particularly in Ohio, and the war in Iraq Something fishy there, These were just some of the sources of leftwing anger in, none of which the book explores, The book only looks at how angry the Liberals were, or were presumed to be, and doesnt ask why,

Its anecdote piled on top of anecdote, Its proof, in case you didnt get it from the Introduction or from the back cover, of just how unhinged Liberals had become, All those rampaging violent leftwingers and who are the victims Conservatives, Make that Godfearing, rational, peaceloving Conservatives, The book is also filled with apologies, The anecdotes end with the Liberals apologizing or stubbornly refusing to apologize when an apology is clearly in order,

I suppose it might have made the book somewhat more bearable had Michelle been witty or clever, but her zingers are snarkyugly, even as she quotes ad nauseum, the ugly things she has to endure.
Again, the Internet can be a very ugly place,

Her barbs lack zing,

A sample:

A college kid throws a pie at Ann Coulter and Coulter gives the kid what Michelle calls a “trademark verbal lashing.
” You know that Ann and her rapier wit, The lashing goes like this: “From that far away and he cant even hit me” The kid was apparently up close to the podium, Hey, Ive never thrown a pie at anyone but I imagine its difficult to actually hit a person with a pie, without smushing it in their face.
Its not like throwing a Frisbee or a shoe, To actually hit someone in the face with a vertical and not a horizontal pie, would require the pie to travel or at least alight, in a kind of standup position, which I suppose is aerodynamically impossible.


Anyway, thats not much of a lashing and maybe there was more to it but thats all we got, Michelle can give over page after page to all the nasty things people say about her and she cant give us a taste of Ann Coulters trademark wit Guess well just have to take her word for it.


Then theres the bit about Ward Churchill, Churchill, a professor at the University of Colorado, had much to say about theattacks, some of it pretty outrageous, but none of it, in my opinion, outside the bounds of allowable speech.
Couldnt the freedomloving, always fairminded Conservatives have stood for the mans freedom, if not for the man Instead, they pilloried Churchill, harassing and hounding him until he lost his position at the university for reasons that had nothing to do with hiscomments, reasons some feel were excuses.


What I most hated about the book wasnt the politics, Michelle is syndicated in my local daily so I knew exactly what I was getting into before I checked the book out of the library, What I most hated was how tiresome it was, You want to make the case the Liberals are deranged, fine, go for it, but the next time could we have a little more in the way of analysis and not so many anecdotes Why are they angry Arent you curious Dont you care Or are you content speaking just to the folks who think the way you do Is what youre doing nothing more than confirming and rousing their indignation But, wait.
Your audience is conservative and those folks arent angry, are they Lighten up, Michelle, I know plenty of Liberals and theyre not all angry and deranged,
