I was curious about that too; Google highlights **Michelle Malkin** as the key name for that meme. I’d barely heard of her, but a list of her books may give us a clue: [ul] [li] Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals, and Other Foreign Menaces[/li][li] In Defense of Internment: The Case for ‘Racial Profiling’ in World War II and the War on Terror[/li][li] Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild[/li][li] Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies[/li][li] Who Built That: Awe-Inspiring Stories of American Tinkerpreneurs[/li][li] Sold Out: How High-Tech Billionaires & Bipartisan Beltway Crapweasels Are Screwing America’s Best & Brightest Workers[/li][/ul] The partisan-hacky titles are, by themselves, enough to disgust sentient Americans, though they probably give **Okrahoma** and his ilk wet dreams. ---
