". . .That Malkin took advantage of the naivete of what she called 'anti-war thugs' and 'moonbats' is not out of character for her. Malkin's sustenance is hate--without it, she wouldn't have anything to write about. She thrives on the misery and pain of others as she peddles in racism and inflammatory rhetoric. And her readers eat it up.
Let's be real, Malkin knows her audience like the back of her hand. She publishes their emails regularly on her site, she knows the type of radical people her site attracts. So when she published the contact information, she did so with a specific purposes (conspicuously absent from her post, by the way, was her request to 'be polite'). To sum up Malkin's actions in two words: sic 'em!
So is it surprising that Malkin's minions followed her lead and harassed the SAW students with vitriol? Nope. It is surprising they sent death threats? Of course not. Because that's the type of people Malkin's work attracts: cowardly, passive-aggressive let-me-sit-at-my-computer-and-talk-tough- because-I'm-too-afraid-to-go-to-Iraq wingers who get off on sending emails describing their wet dreams of blowing the brains out of 'intolerant left wing socialist f***ing c**k-suckers.'
After receiving death threats from these 101st Fighting Keyboarders, the SAW students politely asked Malkin to remove the contact information from rom her site. Malkin refused. Indeed, she republished the contact info. And this is where her actions turn from mean-spirited to downright sick.
By reposting the contact information knowing full well she was to elicit death threats and attack, Malkin is condoning the actions of her readers. Of course, scared Michelle posts a "disclaimer," skirting any responsibility for the actions of her attack dogs. But if she knows the threats are coming from her readers, such a disclaimer has a wink, wink, don't do it effect. If she truly does not condone death threats and foul language, she should oblige the SAW students and remove the information from her blog. . ."
I don't usually carry off this much of post from another site, but this is some nasty business. If you want to read some truly disgusting emails from some seriously warped "patriots," then back track some of the links and read what the students were getting from the Malkin fans.
