Michelle Malkin girds for 2014 GOP civil war
The Politico ^ | February 8, 2014 | Mackenzie Weinger

Michelle Malkin doesn’t run away from fights, she runs toward them. And she’s running faster than ever headlong into the 2014 Republican primary battles on behalf of upstart conservative candidates who are mounting insurgent challenges to the GOP old guard.

Twitter is Malkin’s weapon of choice. Battles with her almost always devolve into wars, and those who follow the conservative social media scene know she has a proven formula online: Taunting quips from foes bring out the full force of her Twitter arsenal, with snappy replies, catchy hashtags and the mobilization of a legion of energized followers.

Malkin, 43, says she’s using her influence — and her confrontational approach — on behalf of candidates she deems worthy of it in this year’s midterm.

“I see the practically unlimited power that social media has to help push the issues and causes and people I care about,” Malkin told POLITICO in a recent interview. “I know what I’m good at.”(continued)

Malkin is young, smart, tech savvy, in tune with the crap the RNC elites have been doing.

She is not starting anything, but she is not putting up with the GOPe crap either.

I’m proud to count her among my followers on twitter.

She’s often overlooked but I count her as one of the toughest conservative women out there.

She should stay away from “high profile races.” Right. Rove et al give good uncolicited advice. More like wishful thinking.

Michelle is a FIGHTER with multiple weapons, she is only no 2 to Sarah Palin in my book.

Needs to be handled carefully the Democrats want the civil war to develop into a full blown schism between the moderates and the TEA patriots. The war must end in victory for conservatives but no split into two parties, that would guarantee total Democrat control of politics.

I would have never guessed Michelle was older than me by a few years... I always took her to be under 30... but as wise as a retiree.

I can’t explain how incredibly hot that is...

Then you consider how... hot Michelle is in the “What Would Laz Do?” sense... wow.

Anyways... I’ll shut up now... she’s probably gonna read this...

Michelle is beautiful! And no sharp, bony angles, unlike another female pundit I could mention *cough.*

As long as the GOP supports asinine concepts like amnesty and Puerto Rican statehood, they can go to hell.

If I wasn't married, I still would not have a chance with her.

No, you would not, because she's married, too, LOL.
