One more bit of proof that the only thing it takes to be a liberal is ignorance -- and to be a liberal talk host, you just need to be unashamed about putting that ignorance on display to the world.

Take lib talker Mike Malloy.

MALLOY (1:30): Good evening, truthseekers, Mike Malloy here, thanks for tuning inÂ…you know as well as I know that the death of Senator Ted Kennedy is the death of a man, absolutely, and everything he was to the people in his extended family, but we also understand itÂ’s the death of an era, one of the remaining, if not THE remaining lynchpin of liberalism in this country is gone.

Aand you know what the term lynchpin means. So with the death of Ted Kennedy last night, liberalism in this country has lost its champion; the person who, in the modern era, personified liberalism to a greater degree than anyone in Congress; I think that his death heralds the beginning of a very, very very dark period in this country.

I remember feeling that way in 1963 and in 1968-when his two brothers were murdered by the right wing in this country.

Let's see.

JFK was killed by a communist who had deserted the Marines, defected to Russia, and objected to the president's tough stance vis-a-vis Castro and Cuba.

RFK was killed by a Palestinian terrorist who objected to senator's steadfast support of Israel.

These certainly don't sound like any version of conservatism I'm familiar with.

On the other hand, it does sound like the ignorance of history -- or willful dissemination of falsehood -- that the Left has been known for and which Alinsky encouraged.
