As Tammy Bruce and Ann Coulter have pointed out, when "liberals" can't argue a point, they resort to personal attacks. Bruce experienced this today on CNN's "TalkBack Live."
Check out this exchange with Atlanta radio talk show host Mike Malloy:
BRUCE: You know, I'm a registered Democrat. And I refuse to let people like Al Gore, who I think really needs to get a regular job, because Democrats also have said in polls that they're so tired of the party going so far to the left.
I could be tempted to switching to a Republican, but I like the Democrat Party. And I'm tired of people like Al Gore and even Nancy Pelosi shifting us into a fear-based socialistic framework of needing to essentially have this country become like group therapy. This is a book tour, but he really needs to think about getting another regular job, because it's not just America which will reject him even more handily in 2004. Democrats already are.
ARTHEL NEVILLE: Mike, it seems like you were about to have some sort of ...
MALLOY: Oh, come on. Socialistic? What is wrong? Tammy, you ought to join the Republican Party. I think you'd be a lot happier.
BRUCE: I refuse to let people like you hijack this party.
MALLOY: Al Gore won the last election, I might remind you. He was appointed president by one vote on the U.S. Supreme Court. Al Gore should be re-elected in 2004.
BRUCE: I refuse to have people like you hijack this party.
(CROSSTALK)
MALLOY: So Al Gore is leftist? Nancy Pelosi is a leftist? Please.
BRUCE: She is a member of the Socialist International Group here in the United States of America.
'Cheese'
MALLOY: Writing for NewsMax has turned your brain into Swiss cheese. These people are centrists, Tammy. Please.
BRUCE: We can have a difference of opinion without you needing to personally insult me, which is the standard of Democrats like you.
MALLOY: You left opened yourself up for it, sweetheart. You left yourself wide open.
(CROSSTALK)
BRUCE: Don't patronize me. This is America's Democratic Party, everyone. Listen to this man. This is what you've got.
MALLOY: Oh, you represent the Democrats, a NewsMax writer? Please, Tammy.
BRUCE: Patronizing, insulting, can't deal with the issues, has to use personal insults.
MALLOY: Tammy, go write a column. Good God.
BRUCE: That's the standard. That's the standard.

Later, during discussion of Michael Jackson's latest stunt, there was this bizarre bit:
MALLOY: Well, it looked to me like Michael Jackson was involved in some sort of ritual that NewsMax writers get involved in, having to do with live child sacrifice. It appears as though he's smothering the child. Maybe the writer for NewsMax can explain this to us - or Concerned Women for America.
NEVILLE: Tammy - hang on - Tammy, I'm going to take up for you right here. Don't get sucked into that, OK? You just go ahead and respond and give us your thoughts on that video and don't bother with Mike right now.
[end of second excerpt]
Hmm, Mike Malloy couldn't refute the facts, so he resorted to wacko personal attacks on Tammy Bruce and NewsMax. What Malloy and his ilk might not realize is that NewsMax is thrilled we have the left-wing thought police in such a dither. Someone please give this man some wine with his cheese!
