Culture of Corruption is a hate crime

That’s the implicit message of this screed from the Chronicle of Higher Education.

Racism and hate are code words for anti-obama, that title is now a title of honor.
BTW I don’t like what this does to destroy the movement against REAL racism and hate groups.
I’m glad I got my cpy before it is banned.
Banning of an item guarantees a huge return on ebay.
And if you sign mine Michelle, think of the Return on Investment.
Obamaphobia.
What a desperate label.
Already flag myself but what the heck, I deserve a good flagging because I read your book.
So, “thank you “O”, may I have another?”
The Carbuncle of Higher Education piece was a pack of easily refuted lies.
Amazing, really. I doubt the author presented one truthful point.
Boy, that stands as a real indictment of “smart people” on the left.
I hope your book stays #1 for months, Michelle. Giving the message your book is a ‘hate crime’ will only help with sales. You must have gotten under mo skin for daring to bring her up in the book.
L
MM I just reported you to flag@whitehouse.gov for all you disinformation LOL!
Keep up the GREAT WORK! Kudos on the success of the book!
First they came for Glen Beck, and I did nothing.
Next, they came for Culture of Corruption and I did nothing….
Who is next?
And here I snuck it through airport security without any problems.
From Jackson’s webpage at UPenn. Ph.D. from Columbia.
Nothing surprising about his biases.
Well then, I’ll buy four copies for every fellow professor in my department and put the cover up on my office door along with my “Community Organizers can’t complain when communities organize” bumper sticker.
(that ought to make me quite popular on campus)
I confess I have lost all tolerance for the race card players. They have no defense for the acqusations so they run and hide behind Mommy. Cowards.
I hate to break this to them but Obama is a socialist and anti-American based on his own UNEDITED words.
I’ll give them the quotes and they can try and defend it.
I already flagged myself last week for the crime of commenting on this blog.
And as for the self-styled “Chronicle of Higher Education,” where were they with their righteous indignation from 2000-2008?
Yeah, right…
I sent more spam. I am pretty sure Rahm needs to meet someone from the gay hotline.
(Yes I am on every freaking mailing list ever created, had this email address since 1998)
What was it the Senate just dropped from the healthcare bill?
You’d think those who sit in the lofty heights at the Chronicle of Higher Education would check some of Michele’s facts in the book before passing judgement.
Maybe they should change their name to the “Chronicle of Fools”.
Flagged myself for liking you michelle.
Let these smarter than us keep mentioning MMs book.It has to increase sales as it creates curiosity in people that don’t know her.Free advertising can’t be all that bad.
This is too hilarious.
Golf claps to the lady of this house.
Since when is Michelle Obama considered staff @ the WH???? Why are we paying her!!!!?????
Oh Yeah? Let them come & arrest you, & they will see the Rifles come out so fast their heads will spin..
Laying their hands on either Michelle Malkin, Beck, or Rush, would be an automatic call to arms for me..
Someone should definitely report me directly to Obama.. I think that address is fag@whitehous.gov
Yeah and we’re all terroists! See you at the camps!
I don’t have a book or anything but I DID send an email!
http://tinyurl.com/oar4s6
That will be the FIRST one of many!
“That’s what she said!!
Exactly why we are in this mess now, because we did nothing.
I hate I can’t find it in LARGE PRINT.
I’d flag myself again but I can’t. I killed myself when I discovered that my copy wasn’t autographed.
You say that as if it were a bad thing.
My collie says:
Yeah. They’re not smart enough to fear almighty God’s righteous judgement.
Oh fer cryin’ out loud. FTA:
What? It’s a thoroughly investigated, researched and documented report on leading figures in the Obama administration.
If the article’s author has substantive disagreements with or refutations of the facts as presented in the book then fine, make the case.
But he does not. He just throws out an epithet. The scary part is that for most Leftists, that’s more than enough.
MM is clearly getting to them. They can’t argue facts so they resort to name-calling.
I hate it that rational opposition and dissent is characterized as a phobia. Michelle and Gleen are doing the reporting and applying the pressure that we need from the press. The freedoms that the press enjoy were put there to keep our government in check.

They petitioned Geico and maybe others to pull their advertising from Glen Beck’s show on Fox News.I emailed Geico and got a response confirming that they have pulled their advertising.
It has begun. Now are they coming for Michelle Malkin?
We have an economic voice, let’s use it.
$10 says this supposedly high-minded toolbox didn’t read a single word of MM’s book. The words ‘corruption’ and ‘Obama’ sharing the cover was enough for him. What a wank.
Being called racist by people who build their entire identities on race is kind of annoying, but mostly it’s just pathetic.

Obama, and his tax-cheats, crooks and cronies, are so radical that Saul Alinsky’s play book no longer works for them. The sleeping giant has been awoken. People are clamoring to MM, Levin, Rush, Sean and Glenn to get facts. FOX viewers are skyrocketing and the MSM is plummeting. It’s driving the left crazy (as if they needed help) and it’s fun to watch.
I’m going to let the whitehouse know that there is an un-american, foreign occupier masquerading as President that they should be aware of!
Here are 2 of the addresses to write Geico and Progressive.
Please write to these advertisers that have decided to remove their advertising because they don’t like the message and truth Glenn Beck is providing the public. Here are their email addresses ctasher@geico.com linda_j._harris@progressive.com Radio Shack, StateFarm, Con Agra are others. This was my correspondence.
Hi,
I am writing in support of the Glen Beck Show. As someone who has worked in the advertising industry for 17 years, I think it is ridiculous for you to pull your advertising. It accomplishes nothing and only hurts your bottom line. It is obvious you’re company is an Obama supporter and unfortunately for you the majority is against Obama and by just looking at Mr. Beck’s ratings & impressions shows that majority is listening. I suggest you stay w/the majority and not the minority regarding this president. Again, it will only hurt your bottom line. I will make sure everyone I know that is either using Geico or considering Geico to drop your company and use the competition.
This was their answer back….
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We place advertising on a variety of programming with the goal of reaching a broad range of insurance consumers who might be interested in our products. Because there is so much programming from which to choose and a limited amount of advertising dollars, we choose programs we believe will give us the best opportunity to reach our target audiences in a cost-effective way. We also seek to avoid advertising on programming that our customers or potential customers may find extremely offensive.
For competitive business reasons, we don’t publicly disclose all of the considerations that drive our specific advertising decisions. I can tell you that The Glenn Beck P rogram has not been a program which we have targeted for advertising, and that any advertising that has appeared on the show was a result of an error. We are not trying to make a statement about this particular show; it simply is not one on which we have chosen to advertise.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your views.
Sincerely,
Paula H.
Progressive Internet Representative
As an ex media buyer this is hysterical. They know full well what their media plan is and who they want to advertise on. It is done by cost efficiency and ratings/impressions. Believe me it was so not done in ERROR!
This is just unbelievable… Carried your book to read on my flight… and was pulled aside by TSA for secondary screening… At least it wasn’t confiscated… but now I’m in their database as part of the “mob”.
Heaven only knows what my fate would have been had they discovered the Obama voodoo doll pin cushion in my computer bag.
Biden in 2010!
The insurance industry…has anyone wondered why no one in congress has complained about the abuses in the life insurance industry? The simple answer is they can’t. Congress passed a law in the seventies that made it illegal to have hearings or even question the life insurance industry.
You understand, this is a “Cash Cow” they can’t touch, but they can interfere in any other industry, including industries that exercise freedom of the press, and free speech.
“They’re going to say I have a funny name…..I don’t look like the men on the dollar bill”?????
What we gained from trying to have a post racial society in a goon squad on steroids, racism in every nook and canny and one Constitutional violation after another. One saving grace is Michelle’s book.
Those who voted for all this have invested too much too admit that they were snowed. People I know who voted for the Thug in Chief won’t talk about it. They know they screwed us all by voting for charisma rather than policies and substance of character. They wanted to be part of something “historic”. The “I told you so” moment doesn’t even begin to apply.
During the last administration, liberals said dissent was “patriotic”, not “phobic”.
Did anyone call the BDS-inflicted “Bushphobic“?
This is the email reply I got from Geico:
Government Employees Insurance Company
GEICO General Insurance Company
GEICO Indemnity Company
GEICO Casualty Company
Colonial County Mutual Insurance Company
Dear:
Hi, my name is Terri Kliskey and I will be happy to assist you today.
If the inflammatory nature of the comments on a program overshadows our message and causes GEICO to be drawn into a national debate, we are likely to reconsider where we place our marketing messages, which is what we did.
GEICO delivers very important messages through its major marketing campaigns: we’re saving customers’ dollars, we’re easy to do business with, we’re looking out for our policyholders. That’s what we hope the public hears and sees and focuses on.
As a company, we do not take positions on controversial issues.
As an advertiser, while a national debate on issues can be healthy and appropriate, we don’t see ourselves in the role of taking part in those debates.
Our business is auto insurance. We want to bring people value and we attempt to reach large audiences with that message.
It is of little benefit to us if a program gets so much attention that our message is drowned out.

This is the reply I got.
Thank you for your interest in this matter.
This week we took action to move our marketing messages from the Glenn Beck show and you are wondering why.
Well you deserve an answer.

That’s exactly right.
Obama built his entire campaign on racism.
And “Black Liberation Theology” is, by definition, racist.
Maybe, just maybe CoHE is accidentally onto something: If enough people are just crying wolf when shouting “Hate crime!” then maybe more people will take it less seriously. (C.f. how people started taking sexual harassment less seriously when the training and admonitions went overboard — and how such overraction kinda messed things up for the honest victims.)
Dang, I bought those cute little gecko Geico driver covers for every guy on my Christmas list last year….now I have to go find them. They’ll understand I have to do this for Beck.
TRUTH:
GEICO said:
OK, so if GEICO advertises on any liberal show that “takes positions on controversial issues”, we can now demand that GEICO be consistent and pull their advertising from that liberal show.
It cuts both ways.
And we surround them.
Keep the pressure up, Michelle. We’re in for a knockdown, drag-out fight for liberty and the Constitution. When they can’t debate you, they resort to name-calling. Any “reasonable, intelligent” person would sense something wrong with their position and re-examine it, if that person resorted to that. But the left has never been reasonable and intelligent when it comes to power and ego.

Hey you know what? Obama wrote two books, and they’re both “fishy”…
And
I think we should flag those books.
Good point…we need to track that and send a nationwide alert to bring it up if they do advert on a lib rag or show…
If “Culture of Corruption” is a Hate Crime, then color me guilty!
Forget the screed: read the comments! Most are in complete disagreement!
To wit:
GEICO is walking away from an advertising slot on Glenn Beck?
That is like an airline giving up a gate and a 5:00 p.m. takeoff slot at Chicago O’Hare Airport. If one of those came open at O’Hare, how long would it take for another airline to snap that thing up.
GE stands to make BILLIONS if Obama’s plans go through. In a way I can understand their conduct, even though morally reprehensible. To them it’s not politics, but a shrewd business investment. What GEICO did was just plain dumb businesswise.
Not surprising. Typically, That’s how most immature school girls act when they feel threatened and powerless and irrelevant.
Typical academic pushing his own book…only way anyone reads mine is if I require it for class!
Amazon sales number says it all: Malkin 7…Jackson 511,407.
liberals have a looong history of banning books for ideas which don’t agree with their doctrine. perversity and promiscuity are good, religion is banned, evolution is good, christian history is banned. great books by faulkner and clemens are banned for using the n-word, islamoterrorist is banned, the list goes on.
Since I’ve read Unhinged do I need to flag myself again? It was awhile ago. Not sure if is a present tense flagable offense.
Truth = Hate in newspeak.
Their loss. Glenn Beck’s ratings are huge!! I never realized Geico stood for Government Employees Insurance Company. And to think I have always loved that little lizard! Phooey!
Here’s the thing Racist or Racism, has lost any intensity to mean anything to me anymore so they might as well use any other word to mean the same thing because it has lost all effect, they wore the epitaph out.
Like children-bullies, who think that this is a new effective cuss word. When you use it over and over ad nauseum it stops having the desired effect. They still think this effects people who disagree with them, the truth is “Sticks& Stones” “Sticks & Stones” who cares, call anybody and everybody a racist who disagrees with them, it’s childish and low brow behavior…so what, it’s a consider the source thing starting to happen now.

Shooting for the 7,000 post mark.
From this “Chronicle of Higher Education” article:
If Michelle’s latest book is truly a “manifesto of Obamaphobia,” then don’t you think that the “Chronicle of Higher Education” could give us one rational example of such Obamaphobia?? I mean, being that it’s a “manifesto” and all!!
Talk about a drive-by slander job. And the author was too lazy to even load his weapon with ammo.
Socialism is a hate crime.
My dog does not like Obama. She gets to sleep with me tonight.
Congrates MM, your definitely in the democrapic enemies top 3.
Hope i didn’t step on anyone’s toes with my post above, I did not read the others 1st, it’s getting late, too tired to read ‘em all now.
Upon what is this so-called “Chronicle of Higher Education” basing its title? I could call my cat “the Almighty,” but that doesn’t make it so. I’m always amused in the left’s ivory towers and polished facades that clothe their abominable rancidness.
