Just long enough to regurgitate this astonishing display of urban bigotry;
…Sarah Palin … fit of pique … the white trash vote … sexual inadequates … she isn’t even female really … Alaska hillbilly … “white trash” … trailer trash … rural, loud, proudly unlettered … toned-down version of the porn actress … overtreated hair, puffy lips … “pramface” … roughneck fuckin’ redneck … prodding his daughter … ratboy … fizzing with rage and revenge … vicious and profoundly dishonest … good fast listing… nervous wreck with deeply strange hair … the hick vote … ordinary hillbilly … racism? … racism … “rectal fissure” … tense no-hoper ladies … white female marginals …
And we’re forced to pay for this crap.
*Any offense to swine is purely unintentional. Pigs are, in fact, both intelligent and useful – traits that cannot be convincingly attributed to Ms. Mallick.
Good suggestion Jenn
Following is my letter to the ombudsman
Dear Sir,
I am writing regarding Heather Mallick’s “viewpoint” piece titled “A Mighty Wind blows through Republican convention”. I do understand, and fundamentally support the principle that columnists have a right and, indeed arguably, an obligation to present opinions, even strong and forceful ones regarding current affairs topics including political events and personalities. However, I am at a loss to imagine how Ms Mallick’s column, consisting as it does of a virtually unbroken string of insult, profanity and vitriol directed against variously those living in rural areas, Republicans, Sarah Palin, her husband and two seventeen year olds (minors) who are not even participants in the political process, could possibly be construed as a commentary fit for a purportedly national broadcaster i.e. the CBC. Are gratuitous smears of: Republican men as “sexual inadequates”, men “irresponsible with their semen”, Sarah Palin “porn actress”, Bristol Palin (a minor not involved in the political process) “the look of the teen mum, the ‘pramface'”, Levi (Bristol’s boyfriend and also a minor) “prodding his daughter”, consistent with the journalistic standards, not to mention the unadvised language warnings of the CBC? I will not even attempt to type the crassest profanity contained in the article as I doubt it would pass my e-mail filter.
Please don’t get me wrong. I’m no prude. I spent nine years in the armed forces and am no stranger to the profane outbursts of drill instructors and drunken infantrymen. Naively perhaps I had rather thought that “Canada’s national broadcaster” would have slightly higher standards of editorial comment. Am I mistaken? If I am please let me know, and if so, then perhaps it’s time to cut the CBC free of my forced tax contributions and allow it to compete on its own penny amongst the ranks of ranting internet bloggers it seems intent upon joining.
I got off my e-mail to the ombudsman. Fat good that will do.
You know, Palin is making the left go into an apopleptic grand mal seizure, rabidly frothing at the mouth because, suddenly, there is an atteractive woman, homebuilder and successful politician who doesn’t agree with the politically correct mores they hold dear.
And, worst of all, they, deep in their hearts, understand the threat she poses to them, although they can’t believe it. She must be a fake.
In diving a grand mal seizure can occour due to breathing too high a concentration of oxygen. It is known as “Oxygen Toxicity”.
Clearly, Palin is toxic Oxygen to the left. I am beginning to hope the left has blown it … again (fingers crossed).
Wallyj @ 1211:
This piece is a personal attack that would have been dropped by any respectable news organization.
But you missed your own point. The CBC is not a respectable news organization.
Joe Canuck @341 pm, don’t throw her your red meat, she bite it off in her slathering rage. :^)
It looked like she took either another Xanex or another sip of Gin between each sentence, so it is hard to tell how seriously to take it.
Does she know that rednecks can usually read and are allowed to vote? Anyway, we have been trying to make sure that as many Americans as possible get to see it, so if any of you see her around on the street, be sure to thank her for her effort on the part of McCain Palin. I am sure the bitter clingers in “New Pennsylvania” as Obama calls it will love it. We think that “New Pennsylvania” is one of the 57 states that Obama campaigned in, but we are not sure.
Are any of the Obama supporting posters here even mildly curious why conservatives try and get peices like this as widely circulated as possible? Do you ever wonder “why do they hate us?” I mean, we know why you hate us, it is clear in articles like this, I am wondering if you ever wonder why we hate you?
Can you find a single story in any media outfit that is as hateful of Democrat voters as this one? Yet somehow we are the troglodyte haters? But we do hate you, in our nice way, we hate you enough to be sure to vote against snots like this with our vote for Palin McCain.
I sent my ombudsman@cbc.ca email as an irate American. I included the link to Hot Air so they can reflect upon the 236 comments by angry Americans now furious at the Canadian press and some who are sure to extrapolate it into Canadians are jerks. I also asked that as a taxpayer subsidized national media is that how they want to present themselves to Canada’s oldest ally and largest trading partner? Do they have the majority of Canadian taxpayer’s permission for such an ugly piece?
Maybe it’s better not to stop these idiots in the MSM from burning their industry to the ground. Well, that only applies if they aren’t a taxpayer subsidized monopoly. Sorry. I forgot for a moment.
It has been frequently commented that she has an MA in INGLIT from the U of Tranna.
Well, that means she is well and truly lost. She would have been taught how to deconstruct, contextualize, degenderize, feminize and decolonize, let’s not forget about cultural identity, identity theft or cultural genocide.
I feel I have missed some phrase or other containing the word “perspective”.
She has been taught that there is no objective morality or, even, facts. Science is a white male patriarchal social construct and has no more legitimacy than a shamanistic belief.
I could go on but I boor you all 🙂 You get my drift. She is no more intellectual than a puke-sodden toilet bowel – to use her argumental genre.
There, I feel better now.
On the subject of pigs, Idiot Boy called Palin one today…..
“You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said as the crowd cheered. “It’s still a pig.”
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0908/Obama_Lipstick_on_a_pig.html
Sure it was a slip of the tongue just like “my Muslim faith” recently. Amazing.
Bill Stewart, why do suppose so many people often “miss your point”.
penny: “I included the link to Hot Air so they can reflect upon the 236 comments by angry Americans now furious at the Canadian press…”
Could you include that link here, penny?
Thanks!
Tim in Vermont,
I think many of us Conservatives are looking forward to seeing seething leftists like Mallick throwing themselves off a bridge when McCain/Palin win.
Where else will their hate take them? How could they possibly carry on living?
There were 1750 comments or so on that Politico story about Obama calling Palin a pig.
Look at the tenuous logical threads that the Dems have followed to get racism out of Obama’s ads. He appeared with white women who ironically represented giant black phalluses, remember that one? Yet Obama calls Palin a pig, and they deny it. Sorry, he did it as clear as the big honking phallus of Tommy Lee sounding the boat horn in that video with Pamala Anderson… (It was on TV in the UK)
I meant McCain’s ads. I hang my head in shame.
batb, here’s the Hot Air link

Thanks, kelly!
I think I know what Heather Mallick’s problem is. At her Web site, her bio says “Heather Mallick grew up in small towns in northern Canada and now lives in Toronto.”
Now that she’s a big-city sophisticate (sic), she’s forgotten her humbler small-town roots and doesn’t like being reminded of them. Or maybe she just couldn’t bag a moose and is jealous.
http://hotair.com/archives/2008/09/09/comedy-gold-lefty-radio-hosts-crestfallen-as-palin-defended-by-mike-gravel/
I got tired of getting upset by all the BS going on with the left and their inability to treat Sarah Palin with any modicum of respect for her achievements and her way of life.
But now I just marvel at the sheer idiocy of the liberal media and the Obama campaign. An article like Mallick’s simply moves another million votes from the Dem or Undecided column to McCain/Palin.
Apparently the “first-rule-of-holes” has been repealed and there are plenty of pundits ready to jump in and help shovel when Barack gets tired. More power to them. The hole just keeps getting deeper.
“”””” Or maybe she just couldn’t bag a moose “”””
of course she can’t BAG a moose, her head gets in the road, what else would she need the BAG for????
With that vitriolic and patronising piece of junk-journalism Mallick just demonstrated just how out of touch the North American “left” is with the inhabitants of fly-over country.
Middle america does not want some arugula muching chardonnay swilling idiot like B. Hussein Obama telling them to much to inflate their tires.
Palin’s life resonates with their own lives and that is why McCain and Palin will win. 🙂
Heather Mallick per se isn’t hard to figure. She’s a narcissistic, luridly paranoid, unbalanced hysteric. I’ve caught her on TV twice, and she’s the sort of woman you wouldn’t want sitting down next to you on a bus. But why, oh why, has this “journalist”, whose “articles” are basically just weird, baffling, vicious exercises in free association – why has she ever had any gig in the mainstream media? I mean, is she a Trudeau or a Suzuki? Related to the Lewis’? I could never figure it out. Nothing she writes should be of interest to anyone but her therapist.
“It’s possible that Republican men, sexual inadequates that they are, really believe that women will vote for a woman just because she’s a woman. They’re unfamiliar with our true natures. Do they think vaginas call out to each other in the jungle night?”
So why do we have deluded organizations like Equal Voice, that want equal numbers of men and women in Parliament? In their bizarre worldview, men cannot represent women, presumably because they don’t have vaginas to call out to them (or who knows what).
It’s funny that the piece was titled “A Mighty Wind Blows Through the Republican Convention”. Heather Mallick is one of the biggest blowhards in Toronto journalism. She’s a waste of space who probably thinks she has something to say. And anyone who calls an idiot like John Doyle “the cleverest critic in Canada” is out to lunch.
And it’s hypocritial to call Republican men sexual inadequates. She wouldn’t say that about black men or Muslim men. Aren’t Republican men an “identifiable group”?
Her writing reveals the contempt of the feminists when they encounter a real woman.
As Anne Coulter said…Palin (in the mind of the lefties) is 5 abortions away from the White House.
Salt on their silly wounds is the truth that Sarah is happily married, and happy to be a mom. How dare she?
Mallick, of course, can write all the garbage she wants, and the UofT Alumni can wallow in her trash.I hope she hangs on their necks like an albatross.
I just don’t want my tax dollars paying for this garbage.It has to stop.
Heard Joy Behar (of the View) on Larry King Live: “She will put women back 30 years!” Abortion on the brain always, 24-7 with these broads. They are so threatened by how terrible they look compared to Sarah Palin’s pro-life choices. They truly are ugly, inside and out.
What will really put women back 30 years is how it’s mostly WOMEN who are attacking this brave candidate. Shameful. Palin’s story is remarkable and these despicable “women” cannot congratulate her for her achievements. So high school and petty. Makes young girls really want to go through that crap on their way to the top, doesn’t it?
Oh I forgot, only conservative women get treated like this. Have a couple of abortions and all is forgiven.
Who gets the last laugh? The bitter Canuck hausfrau with an M.A. and not much else to her name, or the accomplished Alaskan woman who’s running for second in command of the free world?
(Despite what you may hear of us in the True North, we Americans are pretty generous souls, so I’ll let the Heather Malicks of the world take as much time as they need to figure it out.)
Oh, just one more thing: that M.A. she’s so proud of? It neither displays any sign of native intelligence, nor does it imbue her with any. To paraphrase the words of John Cleese, “Apes read philosophy. They just don’t understand it.”

Dear Antonia,
I hope that you have read an email that I have forwarded to you not so long ago regarding your sister in arms Ms. Heather Mallick. If you did read it I hope that you might remember that I have filed a Human Rights Complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission regarding Ms. Malice’s performance as a Canadian journalist. My beef with her writing is her habit of spreading hate on the Internet (see attachment for specifics of my complaint). It turns out that I am not the only person that is getting upset with her literary productions. I guess that such information is not much of a news to you as you have repeatedly labelled me and other Canadian fathers sharing my views as malcontents and crackpots of some sort.
I do not know if you noticed but it seems to me that there are more and more cracks showing lately in the sisterhood of hate. I am kidding, of course, as you not only have noticed but you have also publicly chastised on your blog your sister Barbara Amiel and painted her as Fifth Columnist. http://thestar.blogs.com/broadsides/2008/09/fifth-columnist.html#comments
It seems to me that list of people whom you will have to paint is growing rapidly and I keep of asking myself if your venom glands can keep up with ever increasing demand for venomous paint that you use to smear people with.
My concerns steam from the fact that Mr. Barbara Kay also seem to think that Ms. Mallick is very sick and hate filled individual who should be banned for life from working as a Canadian journalist.
Hers are some very serious demands following on some very serious concerns, BTW these concerns seem very similar to mine.
Antonia do you think you can muster enough venom to dump on Ms. Barbara Kay for her opinions on Heather Mallick same way you dumped it on me, my friends and lately on Ms. Barbara Amiel???
If you do not deliver on smearing Ms. Barbara Kay and Ms. Heather Mallick gets a boot from CBC it might cause a domino effect; first Heather Mallick, than Dr. Henry Morgentaler, than Marty Teplitsky and Backhouse sisters, than you, than your blogging sisters, and than God only knows who else might fall.
Please read below Barbara Kay’s post copied from National Post website and get your venom glands working. Your blogging sisters are looking up to you and they counting on you as their last line of defence.
Cheers,
Karol Karolak

It is highly appropriate that one of Ms. Mallick’s books is titled “Pearls in Vinegar.” Her shameless attempt to dissolve all the good and precious things of life using only the acid of her own hate and resentment has not gone unnoticed.
Then again, considering the title of this article, perhaps the book would have been more accurately titled “Pearls Before Swine”?
good writing. sure got people riled up. I’m assuming that’s what it’s suppose to do. a lot of people feel this way about palin but dare not say for fear of being ripped apart like the way they are doing to you. I was offended that she was dangled in front of us, just for votes. I’m surprised that more women are not upset that palin is being pimped by mccain. that’s just sad.
