Well, Everyone Else Is Doing It

When you stated to your parents that "everyone else is doing it", i'm sure they shot back with "would you jump off a cliff if everyone else did it?"

Michelle Malkin must not have been told that.

Then again, that sort of simple life-lesson wouldn't afford her the ability to excuse her party's excessive hatred and fear-mongering, would it?

In her latest "syndicated column", Malkin tries to excuse the death-wishes, the trafficing in fear, and the shreiking lies of the Right by claiming that "the other side does it too".

Are a few activists on the Right getting out of hand? Probably. Between massive ACORN voter fraud, Bill Ayers’ and Jeremiah Wright’s unrepentant hatred of America, and John McCain’s inability to nail Barack Obama on his longtime alliances with all of the above, conservatives have plenty to shout about these days.

But a couple of random catcallers do not a “mob” make. And there’s an overflowing abundance of electoral rage on the Left that won’t make it onto your newspaper’s front page.

Perhaps Mrs. Malkin isn't familiar with the chants for Obama's death that have been reported. That's not exactly small-time. That's a bit more severe than the "middle-fingers" or burnt campaign signs that she finds so outrageous.

Even taking into consideration some of the more "extreme" examples of people voicing their displeasure, nothing comes close to those within the conservatvie Republican movement equating Obama with terrorism and calling for his death.

You don't excuse bad behavior by pointing to it.

Michelle, you're not helping.
