        This woman has become seriously dumb pushing the Chicago political machine It should not be a surprize to her receiving death threats. And allowing Hannity to egg her on, makes her even umber, considering she has more eucation creds than Hannity,remembering he is a one track train. Seriously dumb for $$$$$$ and not considering what would happen if they did get their way.

      Why doesnt hannity mention that bush spent four days in china watching the olympics when there were two wars going on and our economy was on the verge of collapse? He also doesnt mention that bush took special interest in watching the womens volleyball.
      Their hypocrisy and bullsht is so obvious. How can anyone actually believe these outright lying racists?

          I can't begrudge President Bush for supporting womens' beach volleyball. It is probably my favorite Olympic sport by far. I cannot understand why I like it so much, though. I couldn't even tell you who won if it weren't for all of that frollicking afterwards.

      The more that loons like Malkin & Breitbart drive the "reporting" and news cycles at FNC, the more useless pointless crud will become mainstreamed from the bottom of rocks where they live when FNC's not putting them on the air.

      Valerie Jarrett divested all her real estate investment holdings except for one which has nothing to do with the Olympics.

      Shouldn't all Americans be hoping Chicago is successful in its Olympic bid?
      What am I missing?
      Oh yeah. Pres. Obama is involved, you know, Hitler reincarnated.

      Malkin has been elevated from blogger to official opinion generator. From her Colorado Springs command center, comes many a lie through Breitbart, smartgirlpolitics.com, hotair.com and the likes while still maintaining ties with her white nationalists buddies at the V-Dare foundation which is an information portal for stormfront.org. Furthering the "Pioneer Little Europe" manifesto. She meets the requirements for the white nationalists despite her race: she was born in America and proven time and time again to be effective to the agenda. Hey Michelle, have a Coors on me.

      Why is it bizarre? Politicians always use government contracts to reward cronies. The Olympics will bring huge contracts and Obama's Chicago friends will be first in line. It's a conspiracy theory, but a fairly logical one.

        Well, the thing I have against this conspiracy is that...Chicago got their original bid approved April 14, 2007. Yes, believe it or not, before Obama even launched his candidacy.

        I guess that could either be some evidence against a conspiracy, or it might just launch more idiocy into the whole idea that this was all planned from the very beginning.

      Again, why doesn't Hannity, Malkin, Limpy etc., all run for office.
      Then their voice and ideas can be heard by the entire nation. When elected, they can make change.

      Isn't it terrible that Daley would like the Olmpics in Chicago?

      Michelle, Honey, consiglieri(sic)!!!! If this were true, you would be sleeping with the fishes.

      I love when Seannie asks her a designed question and she even hesitates to answer.

      I can't believe they are upset with the President trying to bring the Olympics to the US. How is that bad? If Chicago gets it, that would be 20 years since we previously hosted the summer Olympics. It will boost the economy - not just locally, but all over the country.

      Two more things:

      1 - The GOP can't wrap their minds around a President that actually does stuff. That actually works for the people. He's not in campaign mode. He's working.

      2 - "The debate about healthcare reform raging in Washington..." What debate? You mean the one where the Republicans just say no to everything proposed, and then spend all the time saved by not debating about healthcare to barrage Obama with an onslaught of crazy talk? Death Panels. Acorn. Czars. Missle defense blunders. Wrong approach to war in middle east. You lie! Tea parties. Van Jones. Obama talking to public school students. Etc. Etc. Etc.

      Someone should put together a website that lays out all the crazy with a timeline. And a timeline of Obama's schedule. And what Republicans have tried to get done, or actually gotten done, and what Obama has tried to get done, or what has actually gotten done.

      Is it possible for a person to be more ignorant and narrow minded then a right wing American, the rest of on the planet scratch our heads and look in complete bemusement (are these people for real?, do they actual exists? is this not a made up show? are you serious!! no really are you?) I have heard some crazy stuff come out of the states in the past few months but these guys are passing themselves off as a real actual serious news channel.

      All I can say is thank you America for not educating your children in the basics of geography or anything else to do with the global community.. as this might in some way protect the rest of us (the majority) from what must be a very strange and surreal land of crazy dumb ignorant and frankly scary as hell people that you appear to give air time to.

      These people are sofa king stupid it should be embarassing to be associated with them. Witness how far they will go to support their nonsense as opposed to to the relatively simple alternative of acknowledge what all the sane adults in this country find to be self-evident:

      1) Barack Obama is our president. He's a born US citizen, and he won by wide margin.
      2) He's not a secret muslim, a socialist or a radcial. He's just a dmomcrat, nothing more.
      3) He's not doing anything radically different from any other recent presdient, his agenda was clearly laid out in teh campaign, and America overwhelming voted for it.
      4) He's not a dictator, nor is he destroying the coustitution or any other such nonsense. (In fact, this descibes the behavior of his predeccessor rather aptly. Strange that these constitutional scholars were all silent back then, huh?)

      If they could just come to treat him like a human being, let alone the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, maybe they wouldn't have to do such mental gymnastics to try and prop up this image of him as the radical black devil himself, every time he does something that EVERY SINGLE PRESIDENT IMAGNIABLE would do. Like... MAKE AN OLYMPIC BID for example?

      ----------------------------------------------------------------
      Conservatives... If people like Malkin don't embarass you, then you're as bad as she is.

      RFLAO! Hannity had to read Malkin's piece three times to understand it. Only three? I read it and still don't understand it.

      Notice how Mrs. Malkin states that Daly "has made the Olympics his vision" for a long. I would hazard a guess that Mayor Daly ,like most of the mayors of every major city in America, have boards that do nothing other than lobby for such events as the Olympic Games,but let's not let facts get in the way of crazy assertions.There can be no doubt that politcal paybacks and corruption in Chicago politics are real ,but really?

      So if Mayor Daly has made this his pet project and Barack Obama has only been president for a few months then surely the Chicago Olmpics 2010 conspiracy must have been born long ago, presumably when Obama was a small time civil rights activist. See? It all makes sense. Just like THEY put an announcement in a Hawaaiin newspaper announcing the birth of Obama over four decades ago. It's a sign of the end. Read Revelations! Blah. Blah. Blah.

      Malkin's only interest is the same as Beck's and Hannity's. Someone has to pay for the fancy homes and boarding schools. Might as well be YOU. The fact that she's nuttier than a snickers has no bearing as long as people are willing to listen and shell out money for her books and websites.

        Hannitard has to read the weather report three times to make sure he understands it. Nothing noteworthy in his admission.

        What is noteworthy, however, is the intricate web of conspiracy which seems to benefit... well, nobody connected with the administration. I'm amazed that Obama has the time to not only devise this complicated scheme, but go through the motions to make it successful. Seems like a high risk/reward ratio to me, when there are so many other easier, more lucrative, and less risky real-estate scams they could be operating.

      Michelle Malkin is my all time favorite loon...
      She is the prime example of the next generation of neocons who are making a living by digging up dirt.

      Her "journalistic" skills are equal to any gossip magazine just on the political stage. Her fake outrage is laughable, her only goal is to sell her books and profit from fake outrage.

      She is the Kenneth Starr of the new Republican party, except she has the appearance of a "journalist" which she is not. Agenda driven reporting like this is the new model and I hope somehow this all implodes and goes away...

      But as the right dismisses Michael Moore and his style, everyone should dismiss Michelle Malkin.

      I've said this here before, but I invite Malkin and every other right wing fool who spend countless hours besmirching the fine city of Chicago to lamely attack the President to come visit our town and say their crap to the fine citizens of this very fine city.

      I triple dog dare you losers. I, like Michelle Obama, grew up on the South Side. Unlike our elegant first lady, I won't take that shiz and I will introduce to a dressing down, Windy City-style.

      I'd love it.
