In Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild, Michelle Malkin recounts a plethora of ludicrous assertions and dangerous stunts by Democrats that would leave any peace-loving Democrat feeling betrayed and leave Republicans frustrated with what it takes to have an equal voice in America.
Unhinged discusses the usual incidents of stolen signs and poorly altered images of President Bush. The book includes pictures of protesters holding up signs like “I (heart) NY even more without the World Trade Center.”
The behavior does not stop at effigies of Bush or pithy signs. The book talks about several Democratic conspiracies that range from Teresa Heinz Kerry and her rigged “mother machines” theory to explain her husband’s defeat to movie star Cameron Diaz, who suggested that the re-election of George Bush would lead to the legalization of rape during an interview on Oprah.
It is not even safe for conservatives to fly. Among other numerous accounts of Kerry supporters assaulting Bush supporters, one documented case involved liberals using a bat against conservatives. Another instance involves a Florida man who tried to run down a mother, who had a Bush-Cheney sticker, and her children while screaming, “Never forget Bush’s illegal oil war murdered thousands in Iraq!” The insanity continues to violence against pro-lifers that included dragging one pro-life woman across gravel at a counter-protest. Bill Ardolino, of INDC Journal, observed how uniformed police officers refused to intervene.
Then there were guns. In Knoxville, Tennessee, volunteer campaign coordinator Suzanna Dewar arrived at the local Bush-Cheney office one morning to find its glass windows and office had been riddled with gunfire. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but Dewar went on to explain that she had originally planned to show up early that day. Had she done so, her timing might have been fatal.
Amidst the startling attacks on the conservatives, Unhinged includes a few points of humor, too. Withdrawal, isolation, and moodiness are some of the characteristics exhibited by Democrats after the 2004 election, but now it is an official diagnosis. Malkin discusses an actual medical condition described by the Boca Raton branch of the American Health Association as Post-Election Selection Trauma, or PEST. This condition developed in many Democrats after failing to take the presidency, the House, or the Senate. The symptoms include a loss of appetite, sleeplessness, anxiety and feelings of bitterness.
With the book’s comedic cover, one would expect only to read about the antics of a few far-left “reality challenged” Democrats at whom we could all laugh good-naturedly for their crazy but largely harmless pranks. One would hope to find no worse in this book than the childish vandalism we have seen around Marquette University, such as the defacement of the residence of the Warrior business manager Brandon Henak, who came home to find his house bombarded with eggs and ketchup – complete with signs denouncing The Warrior paper. Unhinged illustrates that these actions are only the tip of the iceberg for what some disconnected Democrats have done to fight the Grand Ole Party.
