Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Michelle Malkin Won't Forget Her Appearance on The View

She has topped the New York Times bestseller list for six weeks now with her new Obama-bashing book Culture of Corruption, hopscotching the country doing TV and radio appearances, interviews, and book signings. But for conservative author and blogger Michelle Malkin, it was her time spent on The View that really stands out. "It was a chilly atmosphere," Malkin, in town last night to promote her book, tells Whispers. "I should have brought a sweater."

Malkin appeared on the talk show in early August and got into a short spat with cohost Whoopi Goldberg, who told the audience that Malkin believed the Obama administration was more corrupt than previous administrations. "I actually don't say that in the book," Malkin responded.

"I didn't make this up; it was just given to me," said Goldberg, as she passed the cue cards to Malkin to examine. After Malkin got off the set, Goldberg brought up the quote again on the air—referring to Malkin as "that young lady"—which prompted the author to write about the exchange on her popular blog.

Malkin tells Whispers she also tried to confront Goldberg backstage about misquoting her. "She was very nervous," Malkin says. But in the end, Malkin says she's learned a lot from this book tour. "If anything, I was shocked about how ill armed and ill prepared my critics and opponents have been," she says. "There have basically been two responses to the book: 'What about Bush? What about Bush? What about Bush?' and 'So what?' "

When are we going to stop

We cannot continue down this road of partisan hate. When Bush was selected by the supreme court. The others that did not vote for him let his supporters tell us to get over it. We tried. Then a few months later he began lying to get us into war with Iraq. Now if we tell them to get over it they say no. So what are we to do. We will fight you with every legal and peaceful means available. Because this is our country too and the Bush admin left a dessimated country. We will fight, we will fight because we are sick of you dictating what is best for us. We decided last Nov. We will fight and forget it now because we tried to work with you people and you have proven by your silence at the Bus admin that it is impossible for you to even approach fair. We will fight your lies and your marches. We will institute the fairness doctrine to stop your lies. Liars Liars all of you. You have divided this country and you are outnumbered. We were willing to work with you. We wanted to provide healthcare for all. But you will let insurance companies profit off of your sickness before that will happen.

I will never work with you people again. I will never try to find common ground. I will organize against you with all the strength that I have. We will defeat you. You will know what it is like to be a minority and you will suffer the tyranny of the majority. Stupid

What about Bush?

Since the blabber mouthed liberals on the view spend more time flapping their progressive gums than researching their new found hero & Liar in Chief, it's no wonder they can't compete with Michelle Malkin's wealth of information and intelligence. I've read her book & she knows what she's talking about. You can tell that the airheads on the View don't however have a clue, because whenever they get hit with the facts about the overwhelming corruption of the Obama administration, they always resort to whining -"What about Buah? What about Bush?" Hey, in case you nitwits on the View haven't noticed - Bush ain't President anymore - so get over it!!

Malkin

She is just another lying shrew that feeds the far right extremist gopers with hate. How nice that she was not given lots of love at the View. Not surprising though. The ladies are not going to put up with rethuglicans spewing evil lies.
