Michelle Malkin had been one putting a lot of pressure to get to the bottom of the Schiavo talking points memo, and, now that it's been shown to have actually been written by a Republican, the liberals are in a feeding frenzy. While everyone who had been on the issue is taking heat, Malkin seems to get the worst barbs because she's not only conservative, but she's also comitted the high crimes of being a minority and a woman (an opinionated one!). For example, she lists some comments from Kevin Drum's blog.

Now, I read Kevin Drum's blog as he sometimes has thoughtful analysis (in contrast to Kos and Atrios who are plain polemics), but he a while ago criticized leading conservative blogs for not having comments. But, what are his comments full of? While there are some people capable of a discussion, the main commenters are DU grade nuts. And, now that they've attacked Michelle Malkin, it's personal.

I call jihad! Spread the word! I say we all go to Political Animal regularly and kick some verbal ass in the comments section. We'll be Drum's moderators since he doesn't seem to mind the idiocy and filth there. It's time to call a spade a spade and a muckadoo a muckadoo.

Who's with me?

UPDATE: Just to clarify, I'm pretty mad about all this and that affects my wit. It's not like I expect more from the monkeys in Drum's comment section (I only comment there out of a Jane Goodall among the chimps sort of curiosity), it's that I expect more out of Kevin Drum. His comments section is a cesspool of human thought, yet he had the gall to tout how his having comments and many right-wing blogs lacking them shows the left's accountablilty and openness.

Openness to calling a kind woman a horrible slur, I guess. Drum better either moderate or admit he's full of it on the blog comment issue.

UPDATE2: Puppy blender to the rescue with making sure more people hear about this.
