Michelle Malkin, Leave the Sick and Injured Kids Alone!

Dear Michelle Malkin,

You know, Michelle, every time I think that you and your fellow travelers have hit rock bottom and that you can't possibly become any more loathsome and despicable, you find another trap door and gleefully sink to new depths. Who knew that the single greatest threat to Our Way of Life in This Great Country is actually sick and injured children? I applaud your courage in taking on this vile threat to America and to all Americans, and your fearlessness in gassing up your mini-van and going to snoop around the Frost family's property all on your own. Go, you intrepid little citizen journalist, go!

You know, I think that it will be quite the feather in your cap when someone in the Frost family becomes so overcome by the volcano of hatred and harassment you have helped to aim their way that they throw themselves off a building. You know, like your old target Denice Denton.

Maha from last summer:

David Weigel of Hit and Run says that UC-Santa Cruz Chancellor Denice Denton killed herself on June 24. Last April, Denton was a target of one of Michelle Malkin's hate campaigns. Malkin published Denton's address in this post because Denton had failed to expel students who had ignited Malkin's wrath. To be fair, this article indicates Denton had drawn fire from people other than Malkin.

Now, I know you like to make a lot of noise about how Denton's suicide wasn't your fault, but I can't imagine that having threats of violence and death from your readers pouring in through her phone, fax, and email can have not affected her decision to plunge to her death from a 40-story building. Imagine the pressure of having all those Tim McVeigh Stormfront types calling you up 24 hours a day to whisper to you about their assault rifle with the laser scope and how they will be watching your every move and waiting for an opportunity to get a clear shot at your head.

But hey, I know, that's how y'all roll, you and your Freeper wannabes, not to mention the unhinged intimidation campaigns of guys like Patterico, Jeff Goldstein, and Joshie Trevino, who also enjoy publishing the private contact information of their ideological opponents. What's with you people, anyway? Why are you so eager to sic your mouth-breathing, inbred, sheet-wearing, gun-humping toadies on us, anyway? What are you so afraid that we will say that you must send your idiotic minions to harass and intimidate us into silence?

You know, nobody has your number quite like Dave Neiwert, who sees the direct connection between the kind of unhinged assaults on private citizens that your kind loves so much and the massacres that violent talk radio spawned in Rwanda:

Remember, most recently, what happened in Rwanda: the owners of talk radio stations, working in the interest of the moneyed class, used their megaphones to target individuals who were then slaughtered by mobs armed with machetes:

"In Rwanda," Gowing writes, "hate radio ... systematically laid the groundwork for mass slaughter from the moment it was licensed in July 1993." It also helped facilitate the genocide, as RTLM broadcast names, addresses and license plate numbers of Tutsi targets. "Killers often carried a machete in one hand and a transistor radio in the other," according to Power.

This is exactly where your tactics and reasoning are headed, so I hope you're proud of yourself. Clearly anyone in this country who stands up to you lowlifes and your slavish desire to lick the boots of the Republican party is fair game, up to and including children who have been gravely injured as well as their struggling families. Nice. I can't tell you how proud that makes me to be an American.

It could be argued that turnabout is fair play and that anyone on our side who came into possession of your contact information would have a moral obligation publish it post-haste to give you a taste of your own tactics. I, however, would never publish your information because I am morally opposed to that. I would never use my position here as a means to turn out the attack dogs on a person and their family. I respect your right as an American to express your opinion (however hare-brained and ill-thought-out it may be) without fear of intimidation or violent reprisal.

It's a pity you can't do the same.

See you in hell, honey!

T.Rex, Esq.

P.S. Righty apostate John Cole at Balloon Juice has dredged up a blast from your past called, "When the Left Invades Our Privacy" that's downright hi-larious given your stance on the privacy of the Frost family. Tell me, you little genocidal pinhead, does the cognitive dissonance give you headaches? Make your ears ring? Or are you comfortable with the fact that you are blessed with the moral consistency of a border collie on crystal meth?
