Taylor Marsh jumped the shark a long time ago, but…

...today she turned back and draped herself in chum:

At TM.com we honor the service, the heroism and bravery of all service men and women, regardless of political party. Senator John McCain is one of those men. Of course, this is not an endorsement of McCain or his politics. That I feel compelled to write that sentence saddens me, but that’s where our politics is today. This is simply a well deserved acknowledgment of the indomitable spirit of the American soldier represented by John McCain. [...]

But today we look beyond John McCain’s politics. On behalf of TM.com, we salute a real American hero, Senator John McCain.

Read it all (if you can stomach it).

Any liberal blogger who still blogrolls this loathsome attention-starved lunatic, who has recently used the ravings of Michael “Bill O’Reilly Jr.” Smerconish and Sean Hannity to bolster her constant anti-Obama not-so-swiftboating, should be ashamed of themselves. I’d say it’s pretty clear who she’s going to be actively supporting in the general election if Obama is the nominee.

RELATED: An Open Letter to Taylor Marsh, a job mercilessly well done by Robster 3:16, the most recent addition to our blogroll.

MORE: This is how a real Democrat reacts to the McKoyaanisqatsi video.

FINALLY: Two bloggers I have mocked here on Rumproast, Roger L. Simon and Ann Althouse, blogged about Obama’s thoughtful entry regarding Rev. Jeremiah Wright at The Huffington Post and had the decency to take him at his word. Bravo. And what was Democrat Taylor Marsh’s response to Obama’s post? One dismissive sentence: “Something tells me Senator Obama won’t have the last word on this one.”

And before anyone calls me a hypocrite for doing the same thing I accused Marsh of, Simon and Althouse were defending a Democrat. Smerconish and Hannity, on the other hand, were dragging a Democrat through wingnut mud ... while an alleged Democrat cheered them on.

Heh

So Kevin, are you ashamed of yourself or are you not a liberal?

Oops, Bonnach. That’s what I get for rushing out these posts while I’m making the big bucks (so I can afford latte-sipping). Fixed. Thanks for the heads up.

Shoot, I have to say that I too appreciate and honor McCain for his service. I’m a vet, and really, I can’t fault the man for his service or his experiences as a POW. I’m not sure we honor those guys enough, ya know? HOWEVER, I reject everything that came after. I despise his politics and find him to be a bit of a warmonger and hypocrite.
And unlike Taylor Marsh and her fans, I would never even think of voting for someone who advocates eternal war.
I will grant that her post was something of a slobberknocker, however. Ugh.

Boston,

I’m certainly not going to disparage his service and he was a true hero in Vietnam (and anyone from the left or right who says otherwise is a fool), but we all know there was nothing but insincere nudge nudge wink winks crammed into her post. Taylor now sees herself as a mad scientist, churning out McCain Democrats from her laboratory. She should have just called that post “Taylor says it’s okay to vote for McCain.” If the last-standing Repub was Romney or Huckabee, I’m sure she would have found something glorious in their past to showcase as well (he overcame anti-Mormonism, he overcame pints of Breyers).

Point taken! And I note that she says nothing about her ally Gloria Steinem denigrating McCain’s miltary service, since she does it in honor of Hillary.

She’s the worst kind of shill, isn’t she?

My biggest frustration has been trying to figure out WHY people pay so much attention to her. I still don’t have an answer, but I have cobbled together a little bio of Taylor Marsh.

She’s damn good at getting attention. Gotta give her credit there. Even though her punditry is often reprehensible.

If you are angry about Marsh’s dirty politics and her racism, the best thing to do is to contact her advertisers and ask if they want to be associated with her.

Here is her blog:
