¡Viva Las Tuercas de Ala!
Michelle Malkin and her myrmidons have gone into lockdown over the latest assault on the American way-of-life — the appearance of a three-letter Spanish word on the Texas Rangers’ jerseys on Cinco de Mayo May 5. Apparently some Islamexifacist infiltrated the Rangers organization and tried to destroy the United States with three letters. For one night, the Rangers’ jerseys said “Los Rangers.”
Here’s a snippet from Michelle’s conniption fit:
While it’s considered a celebration of “diversity” to acknowledge the military sacrifices of another nation’s heroes, it’s considered racist to acknowledge the military sacrifices of one’s own.
Case in point: Can you imagine if someone proposed changing the Rangers’ jerseys to “Confederate Rangers” to celebrate Confederate Heroes’ Day?
Because, of course, the Civil War was really only a squabble about states’ rights and had nothing whatsoever to do with slavery. Can Michelle really be this stupid? The answer is yes:
Oh, and I’m sure I’ll be labeled a racist for pointing out the double standard.
Like that’s anything new…
No, it’s not new, Michelle, because, as they say, it’s true. Your fanatical crusade to stamp out a language spoken by millions of U.S. citizens can’t be interpreted any other way.
In other news, Michelle and her friends have announced a campaign to rename Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Antonio, and San Diego.

It is simple to get uberpatriot Michelle in a snit. The right wing thinks that dressing up racism in a cute Polynesian package is proof positive that it is not racism.

A cute Polynesian package? More like acute form of barking mad rabies.

I root for Los Mets. But I noticed that when Omar Minaya, the GM gave an interview to the NYT magazine at the beginning of spring training, he lost patience with the reporter using that term. He said something like, “Look, it’s THE Mets. We’re an international team that blah blah blah …” He knew not to push the joke too far lest the Malkins came slithering out of the woodwork

Case in point: She’s fucking nuts.

Does the fact that Michelle has brown skin have anything to do with her hatred of other brown-skinned people?
