Frum: Malkin is meany pants, rejecting Nanny State when she’s ‘lucky’
http://twitter.com/#!/michellemalkin/status/249181708270858242
Bless his heart. David Frum is now trying to take on the mantle of Hero of The Downtrodden. What set him off this time? A strong, conservative woman who rejects the Nanny State. Poor David must be used to “Julias,” who didn’t build that. Well, except for sammiches. Sexist Frum will let them build sammiches all on their own!
Oh, look. It's @davidfrum pretending to speak for the downtrodden. Snort ==> http://t.co/sfV9mqpc

He penned what we assume is supposed to be an article for The Daily Beast, titled “Why Does Michelle Malkin Hate Half Her Country?”
I’m about to quote something pretty deplorable, but not in order to deplore it. It is from the inimitable Michelle Malkin. (And when I say inimitable, I mean it literally. I confess: whenever I wanted a character in Patriots to say something truly over the top, I put a small portion of a Michelle Malkin transcript in his/her mouth. I could not – would not have dared – to try to invent anything near so vituperative.)
Oh, he’s so fancy! And pearl-clutchy! He wouldn’t “dare to invent anything near so vituperative.” Man up, dude. Plus, he doesn’t seem to notice the irony of calling someone else meany pants while spewing insults at her.
@davidfrum Spare me the sanctimony…and the ASSumptions.

Read what @davidfrum quoted of mine here and tell me what's so "mean"==> http://t.co/sfV9mqpc

Nothing. There was nothing mean, unless by “mean,” Frum means honest. That’s likely his problem. The participation ribbons crowd can’t deal with honesty. The “vituperative” stuff to which Frum refers? Simply Twitchy founder and CEO Michelle Malkin talking about the absurd hype over Romney’s 47 percent ‘secret tape,’ and explaining to the willfully ignorant a little something about a debilitating entitlement mentality:
He’s talking, of course, about the Peggy the Moochers and Henrietta Hugheses of the world: savior-based Obama supporters for whom the cult of personality trumps all else. He’s talking about the Sandra Flukes and Julias of the world: Nanny State grievance-mongers who have been spoon-fed identity politics and victim Olympics from preschool through grad school and beyond. And he’s talking about the encrusted entitlement clientele who range from the Section 8 housing mob in Atlanta who caused a near-riot to the irresponsible, debt-ridden homeowners who mortgaged themselves into oblivion and want their bailout now, now, now.
Egads! Truth is terrifying! What a bully; how dare she speak truth and try to encourage personal responsibility! Teaching people how to lift themselves up? That doesn’t suit.
Malkin, and supporters, continue to try to set Frum straight. Bless his beltway-bubble heart.
@michellemalkin I think @davidfrum is upset at you because you didn't put a pretty pink bow at the end.

@michellemalkin @davidfrum Frum has always been thin-skinned and whiny. Mark Levin ripped his lips off a few years back.
— Jim McNeely (@FrJimboMac) September 21, 2012
People who believe in government savior-based politics DESERVE derision.
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) September 21, 2012
"Compassionate conservatives" think we should coddle Sandra Fluke and Julia. NO.
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) September 21, 2012
FYI: If you reject Nanny State, Frum will automatically assume you are one of the "golden winners of life's lottery"==> http://t.co/sfV9mqpc
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) September 21, 2012
@michellemalkin @davidfrum "winners of life's lottery?" Holy mackerel, Dick Gephardt lives. And it's the same BS now as it was then.
— Keith Denton (@inkyd62) September 21, 2012
Yep, he said that. And asked why life’s “lottery winners” hate, fear and hold others who have fared less well in contempt.
What is wrong with him? Seriously. Michelle Malkin’s success? She did build that. It wasn’t handed to her. She isn’t “lucky.” She worked, and works, her arse off. And, guess what? She employs others and enriches their lives, and the lives of their families and children, in ways that the government never, ever could. If anyone hates half his or her country, it’s David Frum. He’d rather people remain dependent upon the government teat from cradle to grave with no hope of advancement. No need to aspire to anything, people. You probably aren’t “lucky” enough!
Things I learned from Twitter: Fans of @davidfrum really despise conservatives in media who can earn a living outside Beltway bubble.

There are some self-knowledge issues here. https://t.co/yHe8ODGK @michellemalkin

That says more about you, David.
@davidfrum @michellemalkin What an infantile statement. Someone with the intellectual development of a pre-teen makes that kind of remark.
— bluemax (@flocktard) September 21, 2012
Yes. And here are some of the classy responses, which Frum is defending while trying to turn them around onto Michelle Malkin.
@davidfrum @claudiamiles Based on these RTs, I have to say *I'M* the lucky one because I don't know who this @michellemalkin troll is.

Why Does M. Malkin Hate Half Her Country? http://t.co/Ft1w44Oq @davidfrum she doesn't; It's amoral, empty self-promotion. Venom sells.
— Skip Intro (@skip_intro) September 21, 2012
.@davidfrum the men for whom @michellemalkin carries water would've had 1, maybe 2, uses for her 100 years ago. Progressives fought for her.
— Les Stevens (@Klookmop) September 21, 2012
@michellemalkin @IdolChowder @davidfrum … well uh… laundry and what else? You couldnt trust her in the kitchen. She'd poison your food

“@davidfrum: Why so angry? A friend offers a theory http://t.co/czPlg7kF” Brilliant. @michellemalkin take note, though you'll never learn
— Peter Jones (@Petejones81) September 21, 2012
@LornestoToledo I can't get too wound up by @MichelleMalkin She's such an ignoramus that it's kinda sad, actually.
— Keith Andreen (@keithandreen) September 21, 2012
This. Again. RT @LornestoToledo: @davidfrum @michellemalkin I think someone needs to get laid. Or just take the stick from out of her ass.
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) September 21, 2012
There’s your war on women. This Twitter user sums it up.
@michellemalkin @IdolChowder @davidfrum Michelle must be doing a good job 'cause so many guys feel threatened by her. Good girl! Keep it up!
— Kathy (@lamontagk1) September 21, 2012
Bingo! What more could we expect from Mr. Frum, anyway? He has said that Romney needs to pander more and promise to keep entitlement programs. Government dependence for all! He also wasn’t pleased with a wingnutty wingnut Ryan pick. And he took to his fainting couch with a jar of smelling salts when John Sununu dared to call out Obama and wished he would learn how to be an American after his “you didn’t build that” remark.
Mitt Romney actually tweeted something today that puts it all in a nutshell.
Instead of creating a web of dependency, I will pursue policies that grow our economy and lift Americans out of poverty.
— Mitt Romney (@MittRomney) September 21, 2012
Bingo. Those who wish that web of dependency to remain are actually the ones who are meany pants. Conservatives, like Michelle Malkin, want people to succeed.
And know that they can.
Unlike bigots like David Frum, who believe that without “luck,” some people are incapable of success. Hater, heal thyself. And man up while you are at it. Please. It’s really sad now.
