Michelle Malkin's "The National Association for the Advancement of Coddled People" column

Michelle Malkin sounds off about the NAACP's impending condemning resolution about the Tea Party in her latest column. Vintage Malkin, as she pulls no punches and deservedly so. Hopefully, this may cheer up ones who may need it, per all the recent racial demagoguery.

Joel Stein's "My Own Private India" lulz

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

If you read Time Magazine, you may be familiar with its humor columnist Joel Stein. He is the typical cocktail party liberal, you've seen him on VH1's "I Love the ___'s" series, and you may even recall his disparaging remarks about the military in 2005. (As far as I know, he never did apologize for that.) Anyway, he wrote a column about the Indian immigration in his hometown of Edison, NJ. Needless to say, it goes downhill in an inept way, or a way that no conservative would ever get away with saying.

Response from the Left, the bastions of racial issues? Not one word, except Kal Penn (to my knowledge, the only one to do so):

There is an edited update with the Stein column, as both Time and Stein have responded to the criticism in a minor, afterthought kind of way.

Hugh Hewitt brought up the point on his radio show, last week, about how the Left rarely criticizes itself. Moreover, no one knew what Stein wrote, due to Time's lacking circulation and the MSM's ability to cover fellow liberals, leftists, etc. Did any of you? I didn't.

Exit question: Would a conservative even write such a column, like Stein, in terms of mindset? As a Hugh Hewitt caller observed, imagine if Mark Steyn had. We'd also hear it, morning, noon and night, as well.

Update edit (7/16): I forgot to add the humorist label in my Stein description. My apologies.

I don't know whether it's incompetence or whether the Obama administration is simply doing a favor for its pro-pedo-fugitive-from-justice constituency in Hollywood.

Meanwhile, Eric Holder is probably looking into federal hate crime charges against Mel Gibson.
