Michelle Malkin
You know those pathetic, far-fetched anti-Obama smears the right wing has been flogging for months? Well, they are just the beginning. Wingers have fertile imaginations, and they never know when to stop.

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Don’t get fooled again
No, no!

The greatest thing about America is the melting pot thing. Anyone who doesn’t get that is America’s enemy.

How interesting that the self-admitted racist, who also appears to be an anti-Semite, parroted John McCain’s message about media bias. I just find it interesting that John McCain’s and Sarah Palin’s hate is now leading [...]
