A bit of background

On June 29th, I posted this: Michele Bachmann gets the Sarah Palin treatment regarding a full-on batshit crazy writeup at the Rolling Stone. It seems the author -- Matt Taibbi -- is a full-blown Socialist and is in bed with the US Marxists. From Trevor Loudon:

Matt Taibbi: Bachmann Hitpiece Author Received Socialist Award
On June 22, Rolling Stone magazine published a widely circulated attack on the character of Republican Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, by journalist Matt Taibbi.

Trevor quotes a bit from the article, has a bit of Matt's history and then writes:

Less than a fortnight before his attack on Michele Bachmann, Matt Taibbi was awarded the annual Debs-Thomas-Bernstein Awards, sponsored by Boston Democratic Socialists of America.

The ceremony took place June 11, in Jamaica Plain. The reception honored a �long-time advocate for low wage workers and community empowerment,� SEIU official Rocio Saenz, along with �a best-selling author� Matt Taibbi. Co-Chairs were Lisa Clauson, Co-Director of Community Labor United and Chuck Collins of the far left Institute for Policy Studies.

This is not a surprise to me given the vitriol of Taibbi's story. I wonder what it is about female conservatives that reduces liberals to such bouts of poo-flinging.
