Who is the most unhinged of all?

Mirror says: Michelle Malkin, Wicked Witch of Montgomery County, drill sargent for the 101st flying monkey brigade:

Whatever your partisan leanings, an attack planned on the Vice President of the United States is an attack on America.

Some of our fellow Americans, however, can’t put their sneering hatred of the White House aside.

This is in response to a HuffPo article with the title: “Cheney ‘Targeted’ in Deadly Afghan Blast.”

Part of the reason she’s on the warpath is the use of quotes around “Targeted.” She calls them “sneer quotes.” Wait, a minute, see what I just did? When I used a quote, I put quotation marks around the quote. Might that be why the HuffPo put quotation marks around the word “targeted”? Actually the article says that Cheney “was a target,” so it would be more accurate to write “target”ed. Whatever.

Then she saw this comment and went on flying broomstick patrol: “You can’t kill pure evil. Like an exorcism you have to drive a stake through it.”

Malkin, like most deranged polemicists, doesn’t have a comment section. So, there’s no way I can judge how unhinged it is. I will say this. Whenever I get bored and want a good laugh, I’ll check out the comment section at JOM. Here’s a couple of my favorite comments from a recent thread:

No, nothing unhinged there ;-)
