When George Bush was in office, Michelle Malkin was all over hysterical leftists who compared Bush to Hitler, so it was interesting to see this picture of her with an hysterical right-winger:
Given the vehemence of her own denunciation of the left’s Bush-Hitler rhetoric, Malkin’s response is, well, interesting:
For eight years, we’ve heard “Bushitler” invoked endlessly.
(…)
Now, the tables have been turned. Some folks are invoking Nazi allusions against Barack Obama.
I’ve pretty much stayed away from using such rhetoric against those with whom I disagree — especially having been on the receiving end of Nazi allusions myself countless times over the years.
(…)
Whatever.
But now, get this.
The left-wing blogosphere is suddenly up in arms over the sight of others mimicking their over-the-top rhetoric of the past eight years. A protester who attended the Denver Pig Roast today had such a sign and asked for a picture with me.
Yes ? And ? If the Nazi analogy was wrong from 2001-2008, it’s wrong now, isn’t it Michelle ?
Bill Jempty puts it best:
Go back and re-read the post but Michelle never comes out and says the person she’s posing with is a nut or that she would have been wiser not to have done it. No, instead she takes shots at those on the left who did the same crap.
Which sort of makes all those complaints about the “Bush-Hitler” comparisons ring hollow, no ?
