Michelle Malkin On Self-Labeling

On her blog she wrote:

When will the mainstream media expose the lingerie-tossing ladies of Code Pink for what they really are? "Peace activists?" Bull. They're cheerleaders for blood-spattered socialism, waving around their ideological underwear at the feet of Hugo Chavez like groupies at a Wayne Newton concert.

Gross.

Indeed.

A friend of mine during the years of the Clinton administration once told me that we had to dehumanize our opponents in our writings. I disagreed. I said that our ideological opponents on the left have already dehumanized themselves, all we had to do as polemicists was simply to describe them as accurately as possible.
