Anatomy of a Takedown

To underscore the point that the blogosphere on the right has a little more institutional funding than the left, Markos asks for a little help:

So I'm getting a little frustrated with the Bay Area real estate market, and for the first time in years I'm casting about the rest of the nation to see if there's anywhere else where I could possibly live.

This is the guy with more traffic than anybody. It's not exactly wine and roses on the internets.

This idiot thinks he sees an opening for a smackdown:

How ironic,a guy who supports a party that promotes Fannie Mae,Freddie Mac,land-use restrictions,zoning,open space laws,and unions is unable to buy a house in the very Blue area of Northern California.All this from a guy who's got a law degree.What is it about Blue America that hates people that aren't rich??? Attention Markos Moulitsas Zúniga :did it ever occur to many in Blue state America that Houston(that doesn't have zoning) is a lot more affordable than let's say Berkeley,California.Also,Houston residents don't have a state income tax that they are paying.It appears Kos can't afford the very values he promotes,which is regulation of markets which leads to artificially high real estate prices.

Of course Mr. "I don't generate ideas, I DISTRIBUTE them!" the Instahack links approvingly. Then, to show you what a REAL smackdown looks like, I give you Roy Edroso:

We leave the response to Mr. Bobby Dupea:

I'm sittin' here listenin' to some cracker asshole lives in a trailer park compare his life to mine. Keep on tellin' me about the good life, Elton, because it makes me puke.

That last line made me laugh out loud. I know this is going to come as a major shock to Instahack and his minions, but some people (and by some I mean 38 million) DESIRE to live in California, and the resultant desire makes hoe prices go uppity-up-up-up. That, and rampant real estate speculation, which I don't think is a granola/vegan/pinko/hippie phenomenon.
